Any Disney restaurant worth time and $ for 11 ppl?

We are going to Disney World later this year with 11 of us, ages 6-66. We don't usually do sit down restaurants because of time and money. We've done Crystal Palace on one trip with the grandkids and I really loved that. I'm thinking of Garden Grill breakfast on one of our E days but I don't love that we would be split up at the tables. Also, we love our park time and don't want to spend a lot of time at a restaurant. I'd love to take the family to Raglan Road but I don't think I can find an evening that will work in our plans for also seeing the dancers. We enjoyed BOG when it was new but I don't think I like the changes. We've done many restaurants (in parks and at resorts) when my kids were young but I just can't think of any that are worth going back with such a large group.

I am curious if any of you who have gone with a large group (with kids and adults) have dined at a restaurant that you found was worth the time and money. And, if so, what was it?

Biergarten has tables for up to 12 people, oom-pah band, and a buffet with a variety of food for a variety of tastes. That’s my favorite for large groups.

I second Biergarten.

We went there in 2021 with 16 of us ages 4 to 63. We all had a blast and the kids didn't want to leave!! I didn't either lol

Wow! Sounds like Biergarten is a hit! We went years ago but I think it was before kids. We have a couple of picky eaters but I will look into doing this one, thanks!
The trouble with doing a sit down meal at Epcot is that there are so many choices for just walking around - we are going around the International Festival of the Holidays, but we may be doing two days at E...

We did two reservations and they were able to combine us into one table at via Napoli. At the time our group of 9 was comprised of ages 2-69. Have been back with smaller groups since and have always thought it a good time and money investment. Not super expensive and doesn’t take a very long time.
We also went to whispering canyon as a group of 5 and did see several larger groups there.
