- DGDebora Guidini2 days ago5.0Ótimo restaurante.Comida farta,saborosa e atendimento impecável. Funcionários atenciosos e os personagens passam inúmeras vezes nas mesas para fotos.
- WMWinnie MillerJan 6, 20265.0Excellent food in a large “skillet”; all you care to eat! From what I gathered, most or all of the salad items are from the Living with the Land greenhouses!!! All the characters spend time with you. Expensive, but you’re in Disney!!!!❤️🤗❤️
- MMMakirasPaperTrails MattDec 23, 20255.0WOW! Amazing. The food & service is beyond compare. Seriously. I’ve eaten at Michelin rated restaurants that do not have as good of service as I received here. The food is served family style; which honestly made me think it would be mediocre. However, it was amazingly well seasoned and the best turkey I’ve had in years. TY!!!
- BYBrittany YoungDec 16, 20255.0Excellent service from Luis! Multiple visits from the 4 characters. Great quality food. Steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, cornbread and mac and cheese with strawberry shortcake for dessert. Buffet style in the sense you can eat as much as you want. We made on full rotation during our dinner. Ended up back at the entrance.
- WDWard DoughertyDec 10, 20254.0A great food and Character Experience in EPCOT. The Garden Grill is located inside The Land pavilion at EPCOT. It opened in 1984 and has been rotating above the Living with the Land boat ride ever since. The restaurant serves family-style meals featuring cast-iron skillets of creamy mashed potatoes, rich turkey gravy, herb-roasted turkey breast, tender grilled steak, mac & cheese, and an endless parade of fresh garden vegetables and salad. It seems all you can eat and cost about $60/person. During our lunch Mickey, Pluto, Chip, and Dale visited every table multiple times. The characters were absolutely wonderful, staying playful, patient, and generous with hugs and photos throughout the entire meal. We were lucky enough to snag an outer-ring booth, which gave us a great, ever-changing view through the glass wall as the rainforest, desert, and farmhouse scenes drifted slowly past below. The food was genuinely excellent—fresh, flavorful, and far above typical theme-park quality—though our friendly server was occasionally a little slow with skillet refills and drinks when the restaurant was busy. Those minor issues aside, Garden Grill is from my perspective one of Walt Disney World’s best character-dining experiences. I would recommend this for any visiting group that wants a great dining experience like ours.
