A 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.

Excellent 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.

Excellent 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!!!!❤️ ❤️

Great spot to meet mickey, Pluto, chip and Dale. Breakfast is served family style with eggs, bacon, cheesy potatoes, mickey waffles and steak. As appetizer they serve watermelon and cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls were amazing! For the main breakfast mickey waffles are amazing as always and the steak with some type of peppers and onion sauce had a really good flavor.

A great character breakfast experience. Our server Chris was very attentive and he made sure our drinks were always topped up. I opted for some gluten free options and was not disappointed. The gluten free blueberry muffin is by far the best GF cake I have had!
The rest of the food was good, the steak was very nice and cooked to perfection.
I loved the characters coming around and it made the experience all the more special. Would definitely recommend coming here

I wish I could leave more stars for this amazing restaurant. It’s one of my favorite places in the entire world simply because they had such a large impact on my grandmother Ethel’s life. We decided to take her for her 98th birthday and she had the time of her life. The restaurant was thrilled to have her and made sure to treat her like a princess. They told me that she was the oldest birthday they ever had the pleasure of hosting. They gifted her a cake and closed off an area for her to meet the four characters at once. Needless to say, she loved it! Our entire family was there celebrating her with amazing food, delicious birthday cake, and surrounded by the best characters. Some people mention the restaurant being pricey, but we would have paid triple the price just to see her have the best day ever. Ethel is no longer with us but when I do visit the restaurant, I feel the warmth of her memories and smile knowing she lived the best life. So bring your family and make everlasting memories. Thank you Garden Grill for celebrating Ethel!

2nd time we’ve there. Food was delicious. Service very good. Price isn’t everything. It’s what you get for the money. Good food, service, and atmosphere.

Fun. Good standard breakfast. We came back because we remembered how much we enjoyed it. The eggs and bacon and steak and bacon were all great. Standard but good. We did not care for the hash browns, they had sour cream in them I think, we didn’t eat much of it. My kid loved the watermelon and we all loved the cinnamon rolls, and we got extra of both. It’s all a flat fee for as much as you’d like. We saw all the characters a couple times, specifically Mickey, Pluto, and chip and dale. The service is good, though I think the overall atmosphere seems a little outdated, but the spinning floor with different views of the living with the land ride below is fun indeed. We’ll go back.

We dined here last weekend for the first time, and it was a lovely experience! This is the only Disney restaurant that I’ve ever had a quiet and serene experience at. The food is fresh and tasty. The cornbread with honey butter was absolutely delicious, and the highlight of the menu, in my opinion. The garden salad tasted very fresh, and I had seconds. The main dishes were all good (grilled steak, turkey, green beans), but nothing amazing. I didn’t care for the mac and cheese with Mickey shaped gold fish creation. My husband loved the strawberry shortcake! It’s all you can eat and drink (soft drinks, coffee). The attentive service and the ambience were top-notch. While the restaurant is outdated and in need of some furnishing upgrades, it is pleasantly nostalgic and reminiscent of the 90s. The revolving around the Land ride was a fun and unique feature. The characters were super cute and also a highlight! My favorite part was that there was hardly anyone here at the time of our early dinner, and it made for a nice relaxing escape from the crowds.
