Originally Posted By RoadTrip I really enjoy the food at Biergarten and think it is one of WDW's better (and more reasonably priced) buffets. It probably helps if you are familiar with and enjoy German Cuisine. My late wife's mother was a first generation American of German descent and she did a lot of GOOD German cooking; many of the items at Biergarten were of similar quality. Some people don't like the fact that you are seated at "communal tables" seating 6 people. I've never found that to be a problem... at times your neighbors keep to themselves and you never know they are there. At other times they love talking about Disney and the Parks and it has always been a very enjoyable meal. I'm not thrilled with the food at Rose and Crown either, but the location at water's edge is lovely... especially if you get an outdoor seat during pleasant weather around the time for Illuminations.

Originally Posted By FenwayGirl I feel the same way about Rose and Crown. We usually reserve a 730+ time and ask for the patio. If they patio is not available...they have a VIP section that you can use to watch Illuminations.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I really enjoy the Biergarten. The communal tables are a great connection to actual Biergartens in Germany, and the food seems to be reasonably authentic. My mom grew up in a predominantly German area, so the food has always been a part of my diet, but I really don't think that there's anything too exotic out there; it's pretty straightforward meat-and-potatoes type fare Plus, you can get a liter of beer! What's not to like?

Originally Posted By danyoung >Maybe it was the Bavarian Cabbage Salad you had stuck between your front teeth... ;-)< Nope - it started as soon as I sat down and said hi. They seemed to think that I was gonna leap over the table and attack them at any second. Very strange!
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I get that vibe all the time..parents are very suspect of single people in the parks or anywhere being near the children. I was there in january and the family did not speak to me at all. I still had fun even tho I did not care for the food. I really want to experience this during the holidays. I have heard they have a special performance for the holiday season. Does anybody have more to share about this time of year?

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Maybe they were just shy people. Me and my family are very shy, introverts. If you were sitting with us, we probably would have had a very awkward dinner too, LOL.
Originally Posted By danyoung I guess I can handle people who would rather not be talked to, and I would have picked up on that and just shut up and eaten my meal. What I couldn't deal with was their staring, the sense that if I spoke to them at all they were gonna jump up and point and scream "MURDERER!!!" at me!
Originally Posted By danyoung No, not dressed weird - just the standard park storming tshirt, cargo shorts and tennis shoes. And the really odd thing was that it was the entire family staring at me, like they'd had a meeting and decided that I was not to be trusted.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Maybe they were murderers and trying to see if you qualified as a next victim!
