We loved Biergarten. We went there right before Christmas and the food was amazing. There was so much to choose from and there really wasn't anything we didn't like! The buffet was always full and the food hot.
The band playing was great and the atmosphere was very inviting and fun.
We will definitely go back!

We noticed the price of the buffet had gone way up, even for lunch, but we were on the Dining Plan so, who cares? We are from Mich. and the couple we were seated with were from Ark. Turns out their family business buys Christmas Trees from our niece and her husband and knew the family. The food on the Dinner Buffet was very good and, because most visitors could not resist the German beer, the place was full of life. The live entertainment adds to the great atmosphere of this recreated outdoor bier garden at night. Though I note it is entirely indoors. We've eaten here more than any other Disney location and love it.

This was easily my best dining experience of the trip. We were able to relax and eat and drink. It was very merry and you felt submersed in the experience which is also very communal. The selection of food was both interesting and familiar. I just really liked it here as I was able to unwind and have fun.

Biergarten was definitely one of our best experiences this vacation!
The food is really good, even sometimes we wasn't sure what we were eating. Very tasty!
As you may know, the tables of eight make you share with other people.
We Are from Argentina, and there were a couple from Ireland next to us. It was fun, and got to talk about the food, and the attractions.. made the evening more interesting.
The musical show was very entertaining too.
Of all the restaurants I went, is the one I liked the most and surely repeat!

The Biergarten never disappoints. You don't even have to like German food to find delicious things to eat.
Our favorites were the potato soup, German potato salad and the German warm potato salad. I could have easily filled up on potatoes and left just as happy! The schnitzel was little hard to cut but very tasty. The pork was delicious as always. The cold salads could make your meal also (cucumber salad, marinated tomatoes, herb dressing for the green salad . . . yum, yum and yum!). Was so full but thought I had to eat something for dessert so I tried the berry compote. It was so tasty.
The entertainment is fun and since we were there on Dec. 17, we heard all about the German Christmas traditions.
Our server was attentive and we always had a fresh drink. We had a wonderful experience and will be back again next time!

We visit the Biergarten every trip but this time I was a little dissapointed in the food. Nothing seemed overly fresh. We had mid afternoon reservations and had to wait about 20 minutes for our table. The atmosphere is the best and we always enjoy the large tables where we get to meet other people. The food this time just did not taste right. My kids did not care for it either although my husband loved it all. We will come again and hope it was just a one time dissapointment. The waitress was wonderful.

My family loved this place! I was a little hesitant about going here because I'm not a huge fan of German food, but I was pleasantly surprised. I found more than enough to eat, and most of the food was fantastic. Definitely more here than just sausage and potatoes, although there were certainly plenty of those as well. A word of advice: save room for dessert. This place had the best desserts I've ever seen on a buffet- everything was delicious. The bavarian cheesecake in particular was amazing.
The setting is great. You really do feel like you're dining in the middle of a German village. The entertainment was great- unless you eat really fast you'll see the show in it's entirety at least once while you're there.
One warning that I know has been mentioned many times on here- you will get seated with other people. We had a group of six and another couple still sat with us at our table of eight. We had a very nice time, but I know there are folks out there who do not like eating with strangers.
Overall this was an awesome experience, and a very good value if you're on the dining plan- only one table service credit for a great buffet dinner and a show. Our only downside was our server and the reason the place didn't get a perfect 10. She was very friendly, but we waited awhile before seeing her, and went a LONG time without drink refills. Otherwise, I highly recommend this place!

My family ate here on the last night of our vacation. Every aspect of our experience was wonderful. Our server went out of her way to be kind, courteous and effective. The food on the buffet was fresh, warm and tasty. The apple struedel was great. The band was very lively and got the audience involved in the show. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a great meal and a good time.

Was the highlight dining experience of the trip. Food was outstanding, really enjoyed the different sausages and desserts. Entertainment was excellent, band did a great job of engaging with the audience and teaching about German traditions. Decorations for Christmas were well done. Overall outstanding experience.

My family of three at here on 11/24 and had mixed feelings about it. While we enjoyed the entertainment and atmosphere, and had a wonderful waiter; the food selection was a bit lacking. If you really like German food, then this would be a fine place to eat, if you're not to sure whether you like German food or not, or if this is a toss up meal for you, I would suggest trying someplace else first.

Food was really good. My son ate 3 servings which is unheard of in our house. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Will definitely do again.

The entertainment and resturaunt setting were top notch. The kids loved dancing to the live band. We were seated with another family, that we would not have otherwise met, very fun.
Either you love the food or it is not your cup of tea. Unfortunately, it was not my family's cup of tea. Lots of sausages and other similar foods.

I keep pondering how we ended up at the Biergarten in Florida when we are from Milwaukee and have several excellent German restaurants here, but we are glad we did!
The food was excellent and the buffet was large enough where you could pop in and out for what you wanted rather than stand in a slow moving line just to get to one thing at the end. There is a large selection of both hot and cold foods.
We are introverted and were all a little cranky that night, and we ended up being seated with an outgoing group. I was a little nervous, but it ended up being fun! Their daughter, 5, and our son, 4, hit it off and played I-Spy games and danced to the music throughout dinner.

Dinner here Oct. 22nd. A lot of fun. Band is great, server Franka was really good. As long as you know to expect that you will be seated with other people, a great take. Not cheap, but a lot of fun.
