I thought the food was very average for the price, you can get almost the same thing in the Magic Kingdom at Liberty Tree for cheaper.

Pros:

You get to spin around living with the land, and getting to meet the characters.

Cons:

The food is average at best.

The new menu is not good. The salad has olives which doesn’t really go with the meal. No more fresh tomatoes etc… The spoon bread is buttery mush. They should have kept the dressing. There is no longer flavored butter or exceptional bread. This used to be our favorite restaurant but not anymore.

Pros:

The staff was very courteous and it’s clean.

Cons:

The characters came by way too often so the children didn’t eat well.

The turkey was very dry, the mashed potatoes were very thin and not fluffy, but this seems to be the trend in Disney as this was the same with Be our Guest and 50's Prime Time. The dish I enjoyed most was the salad and I'm very much a a meat and potatoes person. My husband thought the food was decent but not much moree and I struggled to eat much of the meats as the turkey was very dry and lacking flavor and I wasn't a fan of the beef. The corn succotash was decent and the only other thing besides salad I put on my plate that I finished. The food is rather bland really not worth the hefty price tag. My husband and I don't eat enough to justify the price tag of all you can eat and this meal was rather disappointing. Also of all of our dining reservation this sucked a full hour out of our day, whereas the others including Be our Guest were around 30ish minutes, I think a full rotation of the restaurant is roughly an hour so they time the courses so you can o all the way around. The rotation and view of Living with the Land isn't anything spectacular either. I thought the waiter might tell us more about food items that came from Living with the Land but that did not happen. The characters were fun to see, but difficult to interact with as they were behind and above your booth and you had to turn around and sit up on knees to see, also only once did as cast member come around as characters were out to take a photo and selfies were difficult. The meal just is not worth the high cost or time out of the park.

Pros:

characers

Cons:

food

The only restaurant that we will never give a second chance to. We waited over 25 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. The food was the worst we'd had at any Disney restaurant, including quick service locations. The kids wouldn't eat anything but the mac & cheese because the rest really didn't taste very good at all. I love turkey, so was really looking forward to Garden Grill, but even I didn't like the turkey & wouldn't eat it. The stuffing was bland and unpalatable, as well. We were there for over an hour waiting to see all the characters, but finally left without seeing Mickey or Pluto. We saw Chip N Dale twice, though, so not sure what was up with that. But we were hungry & wanted to go someplace to get something to eat since no one wanted to eat any of the food at this place. Really nasty. Took forever for the server to come back to our table to give us the check so we could leave.

Pros:

You may get to see a character or two

Cons:

Long wait for a table, even if you have a reservation. The food is nasty & unpalatable The characters were hit & miss. We never saw Mickey or Pluto The service was bad. Saw the server to give her the order, to get our food, and to get our check. That was it.

I have gone to this restaurant on most trips over 27 years. It has gone way downhill. Instead of 3 meats, there were only 2. There was no kid items given other then 4 cookies for 3 kids.

Pros:

There were 4 characters.

Cons:

The price was high. No refill were offered.

I thought this was a buffet. It turned out to be family style. Definitely not worth the money for the food. Characters came around a lot That was the only plus.

Pros:

Character dining

Cons:

Price was too high. Quality of food was not great

We (party of 3) ate here at 2:05pm, Tuesday, 12/18/18. The restaurant was very busy. My review is a little tainted by our server that was rushing around waiting on people and not hiding the fact that she evidently didn't want to be there. Before the meal was over I was wishing we had never come here. I asked her to bring little to no salad as we were hungry for the dinner. No use she brought a full bowl and then acted upset when she ended up taking most of it back. She brought enough turkey for one person and almost no gravy. Again she was upset when I asked for more turkey and gravy. I went the entire meal without a drink refill. The food was just below average, the reason I gave the grill such a high rating as 3 - it was edible. At $52 per person, plus drink and tax and a suggested 18% tip we shall not eat here again.

Pros:

We saw several characters - Mickey, Goofy, Chip and Dale

Cons:

Service and food that I wouldn't have eaten if we weren't at Disney.

Our server was great, and our boys loved the characters, but that's where the good ends.
The food wasn't gross, but it was kind of blah. I made a special point to come here, remembering it from when I was a kid. Back then, it wasn't a character restaurant, but the lands you saw as you rotated were much more extensive. As background, it's a rotating restaurant where you pass by a number of 'scenes' as you rotate, including a jungle, farm, etc.
We (my mom joined us, so we had both been there way back when and again now) remembered monkeys in the jungle scene and another scene with lightning during a thunder storm. Neither were present, so they must have changed it.
The food was nothing special; we should've gone to the countries instead. I won't be back here.

Pros:

Friendly service

Cons:

Food; atmosphere

My family has been going to this restaurant every two years since my oldest son was two ; he is 18 now. Normally this is a restaurant we put on our vacation "to do" list first. There has never been any reason we would skip this restaurant as we have always loved it. This last trip however, we were very disappointed! They changed the food since our last trip and it was not good at all! There are five people in my family, (three sons, myself and my husband) and none of us were happy with the food this time and we are not picky at all. The salad, which is normally fresh and crisp with very delicious ranch dressing was a little limp and the dressing was awful. It was tasteless and thin, which made the salad more soggy. The fish was fairly tasteless and the steak and turkey were just o.k. I really miss the fried fish they used to serve. It was great! The dessert was not very sweet and was pretty tart. None of us liked it and it wasn't eaten. Now, for me to say that, it had to be pretty bad. I LOVE desserts. I was SO disappointed in this dinner. It was the worst meal of our entire trip. Our server wasn't good either. Unless they change the menu and/or get a new chef who knows how to cook better food, we will absolutely not go back. I would never even have considered leaving a comment like this about this meal before our last trip. I really love this restaurant, but it needs some changes.

Pros:

The characters and the rotation of the restaurant

Cons:

The food
