How long does it take at Garden Grill?

[DisneyCrazyMomma]

Hi! We have a 7:55 pm reservation at Garden Grill... have never eaten there. It was the ONLY time I could get. However, we really want to see Illuminations... those who have eaten there, can you help me out? I read that it was family style so I didn't know if it would take a while to get your food, or not? Thanks!

I'd say it took around an hour; same as most of the others. They bring the bread, then salad, then meat & veggies, then dessert. We were never rushed & the characters came around at a good pace. Since it's not a buffet, you might be able to cut it shorter than an hour. We had an earlier dinner (6 ish), & had time to ride a couple of rides, walk around WS, & still had time to get a good spot to watch Illumiations. DH & DD watched a movie on the PSP while we waited!
