Love the Biergarten review - and glad to see the lunch price is relatively reasonable. We did lunch here a few years ago with my husband's family and all really enjoyed it! I want some pretzel rolls now
I agree, I too would love a pretzel roll now!
I ate at biergarten last year. I enjoyed the atmosphere but found the food just ok. I think that was because I'm a bit more picky. I did like that baked mac and cheese though. I also don't remember them having pretzel rolls I would've gotten those for sure.
Oh, that's a shame that you missed out on the pretzel rolls.
All caught up, really informative report, I really enjoy the Boardwalk area places you have been reviewing because we will be staying at BWV in October. My DD and I ate at the Biergarten a few years back and I remember the Bavarian cheese cake yummy!
I actually almost passed on the cheesecake as it looked rather ordinary compared to some of the other prettier desserts. I'm so glad that I tried it though, as it ended up being one of my favorites.
I'm so on the fence about Biergarten for our next trip. I have to say your pictures make it look a lot more appetizing than most do!
I've never been a big fan of German food, but I was pleasantly surprised by several of the options at the Biergarten.
The last time we ate at the Biergarten we shared a table with a couple from Austria who were there for three weeks and a couple from the town next to ours. It was fun to talk to the Austrians. But the food was just okay for us.
I like the entertainment.
Oh, that would have been fun, dining with Austrians!
What did they think of the food there?
Nice review. The Biergarten is another place that I kind of forget about when making my ADRs. It's been probably 10 years since I've been there.
It was the same for me. I always end up returning to my favorites at Epcot, so never thought about the Biergarten. But this trip I made an effort to try some new (to me) restaurants or revisit some that I hadn't been to for many years. For the most part (including Biergarten), I'm glad that I did.
I am so glad to hear you enjoyed Biergarten! I am mainly of German heritage and while I haven't had all of those dishes growing up, we've had some. My fiance has been requesting to try Biergarten for a while now. I am not a big buffet person aside from breakfast, and we usually aren't on the dining plan so I hesitate to pay OOP when I know I may not eat a lot. We are trying Deluxe dining next month (short trip, so we figured we'd give it a shot) and Biergarten lunch is on our list. I see a plateful of Bavarian cheesecake and pretzel bread in my future.
I hope you enjoy it!
My mouth is watering at the pic of the tomato salad...that was my favorite thing on my last trip there, last month. That and the leek soup and berry compote! I could go for all three right now!
Darn, I didn't try any of those. I want to go back now!
While not a "hidden gem" by any means, I don't think it gets the props it should! We really enjoyed our meal there. The cold salads and homemade pickles are awesome, lots to choose from, good beer and fun themeing/entertainment. Love Biergarten!
Oh, I didn't see the homemade pickles. Darn!
I love Biergarten! My husband is German so on our first trip together it was a must-do.
What does your husband think about the food there? Is it pretty authentic for German food? What are your favorites?
Funny I bought tickets earlier this week! Not sure if we can actually make it down this week, but better to be safe than sorry right ; ) Fingers crossed we can get the stars to align for at least a weekend trip.
That would be awesome!
Biergarten is one of our favorites for both lunch and dinner. The variety is incredible and the value for the money especially for lunch is good for Disney prices.
Another Biergarten fan! Go Biergarten!!
Biergarten is up next on my report! But your pictures are so much better!!! LOL
I feel like you had a much bigger selection than we did, but maybe it just seems that way because of the buffet pictures...
I think I took photos at the buffet three different times while I was there (as I was seated close by and could see when it wasn't busy) and it seemed like I found a few different things out each time that I hadn't noticed before. So it may be that the selection varies all the time.
We loved Biergarten! We thought the food was great and my kids loved the entertainment. We have all agreed thwt we have to go back on our next trip (A was particularly fond of the sausage and vanilla sauce, though thankfully mot togethe4).
I'm glad you added that you didn't eat the sausage and vanilla sauce together!
Great review of the Biergarten! It is usually one of DH's initial requests but then something else comes up and it doesn't make the cut. I am hoping we will actually get there in October!
October seems like the perfect time to go to the Biergarten!
Your Biergarten review looks great. We loved that a couple trips ago but then my boys insisted they didn't want to go there last trip
Maybe next time...
I totally understand! For more than a dozen years our dining choices were pretty much dictated by our three kids. It's pretty fun now to get to make all the decisions.
So glad you reviewed the Biergarten! We haven't eaten there in several years, & I really want to go back next trip. My husband keeps saying it's more fun with a bigger group, and it's only been just the two of us for the last several trips, so I've not booked it, but for this upcoming trip I did! I just haven't told him yet, lol!
I agree that it would be fun with a group, but it wasn't bad...even when dining solo. My tablemates were pleasant, plus the food and entertainment kept me pretty occupied.
