    Question Garden Grill??

    Just wondering what the most recent opinions on Garden Grill are?? I've booked a ressie there for our upcoming December trip...our oldest DD loooves Chip n Dale. I've seen many mixed reviews on the food, some people love it and others say they'd never go back. Any recent experiences? Thanks!!!

    My boyfriend and I have done this the past 2 years and we are booked again for our upcoming November trip.

    We really enjoyed it. The character interaction is great and the food is very good. Of all the character meals, I found this one the most relaxing.

    My boyfriend is very picky but enjoyed everything offered.

    I think you will really enjoy it! Have fun.

    I've been there twice in the last 4 years and thought the food was very good, the character interaction was wonderful, and I enjoyed the constantly changing scenery the revolving restaurant affords you. I think you'll enjoy it a lot!

    We were there 2 weeks ago and loved it. The food was some of the best food we had all week....and you can't beat the character interaction.

    This will be a must do next trip for us!

    We ate there a few months back. We enjoyed the character interaction very much and the service was good. The food, in my opinion, was rather bland. Edible but not excellent.

    I couldn't get the timing to work at all for this place for our december trip.

    However due to some thinking outside of the box, I booked a Candlelight Processional package with NPH! and got a 3:35pm time slot... perfect!

    I am still unsure of seeing the processional but its gotta be awesome with Barney Stinson narrating!!!

    We were there in August. This was our third time there. Love the character interaction. The food was good, not great. My favorites were the strip steak and the fish. The salad is really good. I could make a meal out of that. I don't really care for the dessert there, but I am usually too full to eat it anyway.

    We had great servers all three times. My DD loves mac & cheese which is not on the adult menu. Each time we got a big bowl of mac & cheese for her as well. They were very willing to bring kids menu items even though we were all on the adult dining plan.

    I love the way this character meal is more relaxed and not so in your face so to speak. The bottom tier booths are set up where you don't see the other diners. It is like your own private dining room.

    I would not hesitate to return here again.

    Love Garden Grill. The kids get baked chicken legs, macaroni and cheese. I asked for chicken nuggets and was the waiter was kind enough to get some ( I think they got them from the sunshine dining food court).The salad is good and the turkey, potatoes and cranberries. I didn't like the fish a lot and the steak is ok. The vegetables and bread are also good.

    If any of the adults don't want the cobbler ( my DH loved his) you can get the kid dessert which is a chocolate mousse or can ask for a dip of ice cream with two oreo cookies as ears.

    Character interaction is good and it is always a relaxing meal.

    The variety of food is good and you can ask for more of any food you like. They will bring out the full menu to start but will refill what you like.

    Default Garden Grill

    1. Great Character Interaction
    2. Good Food served family style a welcome change from some chaotic character buffets
    3. Welcome rest at what can seem like a crowded EPCOT where you walk... and walk... and walk...
    4. Scenery changes as the restaurant rotates
    5. Best Mickey's there meal at WDW
    6. shhh, don't tell anyone
