Reviews
The way things are organized is that it makes for long lines and people pushing around to get things. Like the line covers the drink machine. Etc. inconvenient and because it’s breakfast people are in a hurry. Many times people cut in front of me. The experience was negative.
I made a reservation for the 13 of us for dinner on Sunday the 8th at 6:45 for my grandsons actual birthday.
When we got there, we had to wait for them to get our table ready. They sat us and after 15 minutes I had to go to the desk and ask for our waitress. According to our waitress Kimberly, they forgot to tell her but she said not to worry, that service would be excellent from now on. She was way wrong about that!
I let her know right away that it was Micah’s 4th birthday.
She took our order and after a bit the food started coming in. We had to remind her that she forgot my moms lemonade. Everyone got their food except for my son and husband. 2 cheeseburgers. One of our party went and found Kimberly to let her know about the 2 missing dinners. She came back and said to be honest, the kitchen was running behind on the burger side. A few minutes later a server delivers a burger to a table on the left side of us. Few minutes later, 2 more cheeseburgers are served at another table. Everyone at our table is about done eating when Kimberly comes back without the cheeseburgers. We tell her that other people are getting theres. We tell her to just make them to go. She offers a free piece of cake.
In the meantime we hear staff clapping and celebrating at least 8 other birthdays. We end up singing happy birthday by ourselves to my grandson.
My son goes to the front and asks for a manager. 10 minutes later here comes the manager and Kimberly comes with a bag with the 2 meals. We tell them to take the burgers off the bill and keep them. We explain everything that happened and he was like a little mouse with barely an apology. He acted very unconcerned and so quiet you could barely hear him. Sadly, the tip was added into the bill.
Horrible experience. Forgetting the burgers, fine. Forgetting to give attention to the birthday boy like all of the kids with birthdays got, completely unacceptable.
Even though we had a reservation, we had to wait in line for 35 minutes.
DO NOT USE the coin souvenir machine! It’s strategically positioned towards the end of the line, it charged us but we never got our coin. I also noticed a “cash advance” charge on my statement, so I guess it was an ATM in the backend. No phone number to call, probably counts as fraud legally.
Dragons Den is located INSIDE of the Legoland Castle Hotel. You don’t need to be a hotel guest to dine there though. Make sure that you make a reservation online via OpenTable prior to arriving! They are only taking reservations, no walk ins at the moment. You get a 5 minute grace period but they also state that they will hold your table for 30 minutes (according to the email I received) in case you’re running late.
There is inside seating as well as outdoor. All of my visits were inside but I think next time we may try outdoor if the weather permits it. There was a small line each time we visited but it went by pretty fast. The only time we had a short wait after checking in with the hostess was our last day Sunday for breakfast. The restaurant has a pretty neat waiting area decorated with Lego designs everywhere. There are also Legos for kids to play with as well as a cool spinning wheel! They have neat Lego art located within the entire restaurant also, pretty cool to take pictures of with the family!
I will say that I much preferred their breakfast compared to the dinner experience we had. Breakfast is served buffet style so there’s no rush. You can take as many trips as you want to try their selections of food. My favorite were the pancakes, Biscuits & gravy and their blueberry muffins. My son loved the cereal packs (they offered cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I think Frosted Flakes?) and he also enjoyed their Belgian waffles! They had a lot to choose from though, each day they had a different “ethnic food” area. Saturday was “taste of Mexico” and Sunday they had “Asian entrees” which was orange chicken – a pretty random breakfast option but at least they tried? All of the breakfast food was nice and fresh. Nothing spectacular or out of this world but my family and I enjoyed it!
Now for the dinner experience – honestly I wouldn’t recommend to come here if you’re paying for the meal out of pocket. Our server, Antonio, was nice and came around every now and then to check on us but I wouldn’t say the service is anywhere near 5 star (not that I expected it anyways). The wait time is what really killed the experience for me. My sons food came out much quicker than my bf and I. Even though my son ordered the pepperoni kids pizza and I got the regular pepperoni pizza for myself. We must have been sitting there minimum 45 minutes as our son ate before our food ended up coming out. And honestly my pizza was the exact same as my sons so I’m not sure why the time frame was so far between. It wasn’t nearly worth the money we spent. My pizza got cold very fast and tasted like something that would be served at a buffet. My bf did enjoy his burger though! So that was a plus.
At the end of the day I’d definitely recommend Dragons Den for their breakfast but not dinner. If you do dine at their restaurant for dinner be prepared for a long wait if you order from the main menu while kids are served an hour in advance! 4 stars though because I really did enjoy their breakfast and the convenience of the restaurant being located within our hotel!
The burger with the jalapeño sauce is delicious but ask for no garlic sauce (grosssssss).
The cost ratio to amount of food you get is expensive. Especially when there’s no where to eat unless you physically leave the park area.
One night they told us we had to buy the $11 slice of cake to get a happy bday sung. While the next day we ordered an $3 ice cream an got it.
They do not have enough wait staff for how busy this place is.
An they have all this cool Lego decor but you can’t see any of it cause the booths are so high.
They placed a play area at the front. Which if your waiting to get in is great. Sucks when your kid wants to play an your table is in the far back.
