Garden Grill - Breakfast

[Shellyred8]

We are thinking about doing the Garden Grill for Breakfast on our next trip (May!). For those of you that have done this, could you provide some feedback? Like it? Love it? Hate it? Why? Thanks!

My family went in November and we LOVED it. It is the only meal we're repeating on our trip in May as we want to mostly try new things. The food was yummy, and the service excellent. Most importantly for us, the character interaction was out of this world. Since it's AYCTE brought to your table, you don't have to worry about missing any characters while at a buffet. We also found that due to it being a relatively small restaurant, all of the characters were able to visit at our table numerous times for as long as they/we wanted without being to the detriment of any other diners. Plus the concept of the entire restaurant rotating as you overlook sections of LwtL is super cool. I'd vote go for it!

We went in February and really enjoyed it. Good food and all you can eat. And the characters are great - lots of time with you!

We had a very good experience in December and plan to return next month. Seated promptly, good service, food and character interaction. Thought the food was a small step above most of the buffet breakfasts.

Just booked it for next month. I can't wait.

This is on our list to try for next years trip. We always do dinner there, and have it booked this trip. I have not read a negative review on the breakfast there yet! I've seen pictures and it looks awesome!

Very good time in December and planning a repeat in July, as well. I asked my ODD what whe wanted to have as a priority, expecting rides, but she named Do,e Whip, Kakigori, and potato barrels (tater tots from Garden Grill) in that order! The food was delicious and moved ahead of Ohana as our favorite character breakfast (we prefer the non-buffet meals). They serve the same juice (POG) as Ohana's!

If you can book a pre open ADR it is fantastic! We went on living with the land by ourselves before the park opened.

Can't wait to try Breakfast here!!!! Menu looks delish.. And I'm sure like dinner, the character interaction will be amazing too!!!

GG is my favorite Disney restaurant (well, tied with Earl of Sandwich which technically isn't owned by Disney). I've done dinner and breakfast, excited for lunch time next week.

Breakfast is delicious!! The cinnamon roll bake is to die for.

My only issue is that they bring WAAAY too much food for my small family. I'd almost rather them serve smaller portions and then bring more when we ask, but I'm sure that would open them up to complaints of "we didn't get enough food" for people who don't know it's all you care to eat!!

It's just me and my 8 year old son and I agree, when I see the pics I feel a little sick and I'm sure we'd leave most of it! That said, when we talk about our upcoming disney trip, talking about the garden grill cinnamon roll "AS BIG AS YOUR HEAD" never fails to get a laugh. First world problems, right? I can't wait to try it, never have but way more excited for tater tots than anyone has any right to be lol

We LOVE this place - food is delish, plentiful, and the characters come to your table (we are big Chip and Dale fans).
When we discovered this place years ago we felt like it was our own little secret. If you are on the meal plan, it is a deal at 1 credit.

I'm glad to hear all the great reviews. We have a breakfast booked here in June and are looking forward to it.

We ate at Garden Grill on Monday. Food was fine, but nothing special. Everything was hot, but nothing different than any buffet - just less variety. Cinnamon roll was fine, although a bit dry. I had though they typically bring biscuits and gravy, but there were none on our visit.

Character interaction was great! Everyone came by at least 3 times. We had a PPO ADR which had us in line for the Joy and Sadness meet & greet before park opening. Service was great and being in an empty EPCOT was great.

So there is no more biscuits and gravy served with breakfast? Do they still serve the different salsas? I had seen photos of this in other reviews.

I totally agree with smaller portions for smaller tables! My husband and I tried GG for dinner on our last trip and we enjoyed it, but we only had two people and the portions were the same size as the table of six next to us! The result was that there were certain items we enjoyed more like the turkey and beef, but didn't want to ask for since we didn't finish everything else they had brought out. Also, the food got cold rather quickly.

I don't see it being as big of an issue for us at breakfast, and we are really looking forward to the meal!

We ate there in early February and there were biscuits and gravy and the salsa.

the biscuits and gravy are gone. saw in a dining review later than February that had a photo of the posted menu it wasn't on there.
