    First, to be honest, I do not like German food. Too heavy, too much pork, and lots of fried stuff. This was the only place available with our Epcot concert series package, so we took it. need to resemble an old-time hearing village, it is pretty inside. Live entertainment includes music/accordion, and lots of polka dancing. Our server who is finally, attentive, and as per standard, from Germany. The good I had was eh--- and I avoided most of the offerings--but I did enjoy my small birthday cupcake that she brought out as well as a birthday certificate! I'm sure the food is good if you like German food, but one and done for me.

    Ticket required to Epcot & restaurant reservations may be required to dine at the Biergarten restaurant. Unlike most restaurants at Epcot this has country themed entertainment with a band that comes and plays regularly while you dine. It makes the experience feel like Oktoberfest. Service was great with our server Noah! And the food is a buffet and very good. From the sign out front at the host desk: Partial Listing of Selections Seasonal Salads * Roasted Chicken Traditional Sausages * Sauerkraut * Potatoes Spaetzle * Schnitzel Assorted Desserts including Apple Strudel Plant-based Options Available Ambiance is like being in Germany. Worthwhile experience if you've never been.

    As everyone will attest to, the music and performance are absolutely fantastic. The restaurant is comfortable for kids and adults alike, and as a party of 6 we had an entire table to ourselves, avoiding the possible awkwardness of sharing a table. Our server was friendly, the buffet was always stocked! The savory food was all good, nothing spectacular but I don't know if I've ever had spectacular German food. The only detractor was the dessert, I was hoping for a delicious crispy strudel, and was greeted with one that was decent but not at all crispy. Honestly the food highlight for me was the beer cheese soup!

    Best buffet at EPCOT and A top tier buffet at Disney World. Fun music show by great performers for every that takes place each hour, four German beers and a ton of great authentic German food in and indoor/ night time setting

    Biergarten is such a fun spot for lunch or dinner. The restaurant is huge and the service is good. The decor and theme is perfect and the show is actually really fun and enjoyable. Even if you eat fast make sure to grab a beer and sit back and watch the show. This is a buffet so you will walk away full not matter how big your appetite is. The buffet has lots of options and for a buffet the food is pretty good. Make sure to save some room for dessert.

    This was by far the best buffet and dining experience we had at Disney World! The atmosphere, the service, and the food were all well worth the price. It truly felt like a cultural showcase, offering an authentic taste of the world. We visited on a Saturday night around 8 PM, and they still welcomed us in without any issues. I especially enjoyed the red cabbage and the pâté, they were absolutely delicious and special.The staff was super friendly and attentive. The live music and traditional instruments added so much to the ambiance, and it was heartwarming to see children dancing near the stage. That moment really captured the magic of Disney for us.

    Highly recommend at Epcot if you're wanting a sit down buffet place! Variety of German food- I liked everything from schnitzel, saur kraut, sausages, salmon, a variety of vegetables. The apple strudel dessert is the best. My toddler enjoyed it as well and had a bit of everything

    This fun German buffet is located in Epcot. They have a wide variety of German fare to choose from including schnitzel, spratzel, pretzel bread, and beer & cheese soup! They also have some German desserts and a lot of custom drinks. The little band that plays every hour was fun, and we had a good time! It's pricy, but if you're hungry, totally worth it.

    What a great restaurant! The staff is incredibly friendly and clearly enjoy working at the Biergarten. The Buffett is plentiful and full of delicious options for every taste. Lots of classic Germany dishes as well as delicious fresh salads and classic options for picky palettes. You have to get a taste of the band as well! They are so talented and it's great fun! A great choice for all ages in EPCOT!

    Live band!

    Ask the Community - Biergarten Restaurant

    Saw where the menu says "POTATOES", are they baked potatoes or have they done something to them(I ask cause we have a picky eater who'll likely eat 2 things)?

    They have German potato salad. I think they had roasted potatoes too. Don't remember baked potatoes. But there's so much other stuff, surely your picky eaters will find something they like...esp. dessert.

    When we were there in the past, they would seat you with other parties at the same table. With COVID, do they still do that, or are parties in their own?

    No it's all individual

    Do you have to eat buffet or can you just order food w/o buffet? How much is the lunch buffet?

    Their menu only has buffet info, but you can always ask a cast member before committing to dining, of course. I've never personally seen a delivered plate, but because of allergies and special dietary requests, I'm sure they would accommodate that.

    Do they have a bar where you can grab a drink without a reservation?

    The Germany Pavillion does not. Next door you can sit in the Wine Cellar and have a pint or a glass or even a mixed drink.

    Is this a good choice for date night?

    Certainly is! Be sure you dance with the live German performers!

    Is this in a theme park or can anyone get to it?

    Visiting friends in the Sanford area and stopped for lunch at Hollerbach's German Restaurant and…read morethe Willow Tree never disappoints! Decided to try lunch specials and got the lunch portion Pork Schnitzel with Potato Pancakes and Gurkensalat (fresh cucumber salad with yogurt/sour cream dressing) My companion ordered the Buffalo Sandwich but opted for pork rather than chicken. A surprising choice that turned out to be a very good one! Came with 2 sides, chose fries and red cabbage. We also ordered the cheese spatzle with butter cheese and gruyere. Nice day so we dined outside on the patio. Our server (didn't get his name) was helpful and quick with our beverages and order. Everything came out quickly, hot and fresh. The schnitzel was perfectly fried and tender. The potato pancakes crisp and delicious with applesauce and sour cream toppings! Gurkensalat, fresh slightly crunchy cucumbers in a light creamy dressing. Perfect summer salad! The Buffalo sandwich with pork instead of chicken was amazing! Cooked to tender perfection with just the right amount of buffalo sauce and heat. The grilled pretzel bun with cheese, lettuce and tomato was excellent. The fries were a great companion to the Buffalo sandwich. Red cabbage rounded out the meal adding both color and texture to the lunch. I come to this restaurant every time I visit Sanford as I love German food and the staff here is so friendly and welcoming! I highly recommend Hollerbach's German Restaurant for delicious German Food, great atmosphere and friendly service! Excelent Local Restaurant!

We all started with the French onion soup, and every single person at the table agreed -- it was amazing. Rich, flavorful, and a perfect way to kick off the meal. For my main course, I had the veal schnitzel, and it was cooked perfectly -- tender, juicy, and lightly breaded just right. It comes with lingonberry sauce on the side, which adds a great balance of sweetness. I chose the buttered spätzle with Jäger mushroom sauce as my side, and it was absolutely delicious. For dessert, we split the blueberry mascarpone cheesecake and the apple strudel with Kelly's Ice Cream. Both were excellent and the perfect ending to a great meal. They have a full liquor bar and German beers on tap, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. This is definitely a place we'll be going back to. Highly recommend!

Our server, Erick, greeted us a couple of minutes later, and was attentive during our time there, with explanations of the drinks and meals. Although they don't have as extensive of a menu that other local German restaurants have, they do have the standards and my impression is that they are going for a higher quality experience instead of food hall. For example, they also offer steaks that appear to be a much higher quality (and price point). There is a decent selection of German beers, loads of wine, and a full bar. The mushroom risotto was very good, the heirloom tomato salad was a little on the bland side. My mom in law claimed it was one of the best pork schnitzels she has had. They are relatively young (10 months), and working on fully opening, so one of the rooms and bathrooms were blocked off, but I was told that part would be opened soon.
