    bratwurst
    Manny F.

    On our quest to stop at every country, the family ordered the bratwurst. It wasn't bad but not great. Definitely had better but if you want a taste of Germany, this is worth the stop. Would highly recommend the caramel shop that is sponsored by Whether's Original.

    I was super excited about a giant German pretzel from the Germany pavilion in EPCOT, sadly this one was disappointing. It was GIANT, like bigger than my head, but honestly cold and super dry. I grabbed some mustard to add and that helped a little bit. Definitely would skip this snack and try some of the other amazing bites in the park! Extra points for this great picture I got of it though!

    I would have been quite remiss if I visited EPCOT and didn't get a freaking bratwurst from the German pavilion. Timing worked out well since I had a heavy winner. Now THIS was a proper bratwurst! A thick piece of meat with an absurd amount of sauerkraut. It was exactly everything I had hoped for! Well worth the wait.

    This was one of the destinations as part of my "drink around the world" adventure at Epcot where I got one drink from each country in the park. Sommerfest is located in the Germany section of the park. It's a small walk-up window where you can either order at the kiosk there or order on the Disney app beforehand for mobile pick-up. I got the schöfferhofer pink grapefruit hefeweizen ($11.50) which was very light and refreshing. It was easy to sip even for a person who doesn't gravitate toward beer. This was great and one of my favorite drinks from the "drink around the world" series.

    Vegan sausage (we think it's beyond) is soooo flavorful, pretzel bun is soft, hefty amounts of sauerkraut. Wonderful vegan option! It wasn't on the menu but they should have it just ask.

    Bratwurst was great as well as the chips but the true star was the Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen! Don't miss out on it, it's GREAT!!! Service is very fast so go here to eat if you want to squeeze in a meal. Ambiance includes being very hot in the summer so make sure to save a table before heading inside.

    Was a miss for me. The chips were super crunchy, to the point where they hurt my gums when I chew. I don't know how older people can eat this thing given their even more sensitive mouths. The bread was too thick and I was hoping the sausage would be bigger. The sauerkraut was good, no complaints here. Service was quick and we were provided free water. One thing I do have to note is that there are limited seatings so many people were just sitting outside on a curb. We managed to get a table right outside the store but it was really dirty. The service crew could do a better job cleaning the tables.

    Pretzel. Bread. Pudding. Just get it! I've had this several times and it's consistently tasty, warm and just the right amount of salty to sweet. If you are a fan of bread pudding, you should definitely check this out. You can mobile order but there usually isn't a line since Sommerfest is hidden next to the Biergarten restaurant.

    Bratwurst and Sch-fferhofer Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen - Germany
    Jimmy H.

    The Pink Grapefruit beer was delicious and light. It doesn't really give you that bloat that normal beer gives. I wish there were more places to sit to enjoy the food but when we did get to eat it, the bratwurst was well seasoned and the bread was fluffy and toasted well. The chips were savory and nice to have with the drink but as others have stated already, not my top choice in Epcot.

    A great place to stop and snack in the Germany pavilion! They have a small menu that's available right at the line entry and overhead at the registers. The bratwurst was a touch disappointing in that I would have liked a different bun. I basically pulled half the bread off just so I could eat it. However the flavor was great!! The mac and cheese was good! Hubs wasn't the biggest fan, but the baby and I liked it and shared that one. It was really quickly served and it's a little hidden so the line is usually short. They stopped serving pretzels here, but you can get them just around the corner at the food kiosk at the pavilion entry. Overall: A Good food, decent pricing, and quick! Great stop off for quick serve style food.

    We were looking for some real food (more than a snack) while walking around everywhere in Epcot. Luckily for us, there were some good options in Germany Pavilion. They had a Biergarten Restaurant, but we didn't want to have that much food, and we were not interested in drinking beer just yet... And they thought of people like us, they had a kiosk outside the restaurant called Sommerfest, where you can purchase a la cate items. The food offering at the Snack section is limited, but it had what we wanted, Bratwurst! It is served on a freshly baked roll with sauerkraut and house-made paprika chips. My goodness this thing was GREAT!!! Bratwurst was super plump and juicy underneath the mountain of fresh sauerkraut, packed with flavor and oh-so-satisfying! The chips were really nice too, super crunchy and tasty. It was exactly what we wanted and more!

    Pretzel Bread Pudding

    First off let me start by saying, PLEASE DO NOT EVER STOP SERVING THE PRETZEL BREAD PUDDING!!!! It's just that delicious !!! It's tender, moist, fluffy, and warm with every bite.. I absolutely adore this dessert. It's also very affordable and a really nice portion. You have definitely got yourself something unique and special Disney!! it's located in Germany in the world showcase in Epcot . Conveniently located and easily accessible. I'll definitely be coming back for more on my next visit... PLEASE KEEP THIS TREASURE ON YOUR MENU FOR MANY MANY YEARS TO COME !!

    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!

Even if you're only coming for the food, the entertainment adds so much to the experience. Before our entrees arrived, we were served complimentary bread with a Guinness reduction dipping oil. The slightly sweet, malty Guinness oil was so good that we found ourselves reaching for just one more piece of bread several times. For our entrees, we ordered the Braised Be Beef and the Chicken Pie. The Braised Be Beef features slow-cooked beef short ribs served over creamy mashed potatoes with roasted broccolini, carrots, sugar snap peas, and a red wine reduction. The beef was incredibly tender and easily fell apart with a fork. The Chicken Pie was another standout. The flaky pastry enclosed a creamy filling of chicken, wild mushrooms, leeks, and a white wine cream sauce. To drink, we ordered a Guinness along with the Berry UnIrish, a nonalcoholic blend of blueberries, fresh lemon juice, San Pellegrino, and honey. The Berry UnIrish was refreshingly sweet and a great option if you're looking for something without alcohol. The Guinness, of course, paired perfectly with the hearty Irish fare. Between the delicious food, attentive service, complimentary bread, live Irish band, and talented dancers, Raglan Road delivered an experience. Come here if you're visiting Disney Springs and want a meal that's equal parts entertainment and comfort food!

    Very unfortunate that the new owners ruined what was once an amazing establishment…read more I used to be so proud to bring my friends and family to the Village Bier Garden but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone now. I understand it can be challenging for new owners to reopen a business and uphold its original integrity, but unfortunately, these owners have failed miserably despite the multiple chances I've given them. They are extremely inconsistent with their hours, often closing during peak times or random days of the week. Tonight, for example, a busy Saturday night with the village packed...they decided to close early at 9 p.m. and were only serving rum and Coke or beer. They were literally turning away business. The authentic German food that once set this place apart is gone. While a few "German-style" items remain on the menu, I wouldn't recommend them. The overall atmosphere has completely changed, no longer family-friendly, with rude staff and no trace of the live German music that used to fill the air and make this spot so special. After giving them several chances, I can confidently say I won't be returning.
