To make the most of your dining dollars here, you really have to commit to at least trying everything served to you, but if these foods don’t sound like your jam, maybe consider holding off for a while. That said, we enjoy this style of food so we really enjoyed the meal overall.Įven though it’s all-you-care-to-eat family-style, the price here is a little steep compared to other table service meals at EPCOT. Of the choices presented to us, we LOVED the creamy macaroni salad (an option we might have walked past if this were still a buffet) but something like beet salad wasn’t our favorite and we would have previously avoided that rather than feel obligated to eat it since it was served to us. In a “normal” Disney buffet like Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom, there are plenty of options to make everyone happy, but with cuisine as specific as German food, the buffet can leave pickier guests feeling lost. We’d also missed being able to control what exactly we chose to eat. Some favorites, like the beer cheese soup and the selection of meats and cheeses (and maybe a couple more veggies to offset all the carbs and meat!), were missing from our plate. While the family-style presentation was full of well prepared fresh food, we can’t help but miss the buffet. Plus, while you can’t dance around to the band, it’s still pretty great live music. It Is kinda great not having to share a table with another party and having room to breathe in here. The atmosphere and music - even in the quieter reopened space - are a selling point for many families. If you like that sort of all-you-can-eat, pick and choose your favorites type atmosphere, we would suggest waiting.īiergarten isn’t for everyone. There’s no word on WHEN buffets will reopen at Walt Disney World, but, of the buffets-turned-family-style-meals, this has been the least successful in our opinion. You really, truly enjoy this place as a buffet.You’re looking for a quiet, intimate meal.Veggie eaters will have to pick at sauerkraut, potatoes, and a couple of salads, and if your kiddo (or you!) turn your nose up at foods like bratwurst and beet salad, this won’t be worth the $46. You’re a vegetarian or have picky eaters in your party.It’s not an intimate dining experience even with social distancing, but it sure can be fun! Though the dance floor and communal tables are currently not a thing at Biergarten, the polka musicians encourage engagement from diners through shouts of “Prost!” and lively songs. You’re a beer fan! While you can get beers (including several of the beers we sampled at Biergarten this day) all around EPCOT, you can get a whole LITER of beer here for $16!.You are open to new flavors or genuinely love German food.A monster plate of meat and lots of cake in our belly and it was time to say Auf Wiedersehen. This is really just a Bavarian take on apple pie, but it’s a solid fruity dessert. So be warned: if you thought you’d have a tough time finding something you liked back when Biergarten was a full buffet, it might be MORE challenging with a set menu! Speaking of, are you ready to see the most underwhelming sounding menu ever? (We promise it’s much more robust than it sounds here!): We happen to enjoy the variety of meats (and other food) served here, so we were more than happy to try out the family-style meal. Yes there’s veggies and some simpler foods, but if you’re not open to new flavors, you’d be picking around the buffet to find something you like (and possibly settling on eating a plate full of just pretzel bread for dinner). You’d typically find multiple types of foods like sauerkraut, sausages, cold sliced meats, hot meats, carved meat, breaded meats (noticing the meat trend here? □). The food has a heavy emphasis on meat and potatoes and flavors that are decidedly not for the picky eaters in your party. Herein lies the problem a number of you may face: German food isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (or…liter of beer?). It’s still all-you-care-to-eat, but without ever having to hop back in line. With buffets being a no-go right now, Biergarten did what spots like Chef Mickey’s chose to do - plate their most popular buffet foods as a family-style version of the meal.
