Ate here May 20. This being our second visit. Ate here in 2013 and lovveedd it!!. Our ressies were for 635. We checked in and was given a pager. We waited nearby and waited..... 30 minutes later we were seated. All I can say is that we visited in may because everyone told us that this isn't a very busy time of year, we didn't necessarily wait for rides, but we sure did wait for meals. I tried to time things around fastpasses and parades etc and it created some stressful moments when you have things timed. After visiting Disney numerous times I am still learning. As we were seated we noticed the restaurant was not revolving. The hostess apologized about that but not really a problem. We were seated on the lower level in the U shaped tables which are roomy. We seen our waitress from 2013 so was happy that she was still there and had hopes that she was ours as she is truly fabulous. This time we weren't so lucky. Our waiter was nice but not very interactive, I felt at times that we were being an inconvenience to him, as my family usually has a lot of requests. Because of this I tip very well. The food was great as always, we ordered plenty of everything. I have 2 teenagers who can put the food away, and they did. My dd5 even ate which is not always the case. The characters have some of the best interactive experiences. They spend plenty of time at your table and will play around with everyone. the visited numerous times during dinner so we have plenty of pictures. Our next trip is in 2016, but not sure if we will eat here on that trip, will definitely eat here again, but want to try new restaurants.
Pros:
fresh food, charactersCons:

1st time here. We hesitated to go here because of bad reviews but we decided to go anyway. So glad we did. We don't eat ranch dressing so our waitress brought us a salad with vinegar and oil on the side. The fish over the vegetables was better than most of the other meats I ate all week long. The beef was also great and the kids loved the potatoes and chicken legs. Glad we wet
Pros:
good homestyle food and serviceCons:

This is the best meal I’ve ever had in Disney World. I love everything about this place, from the food to the characters.
The banquet starts when the waiter brings out a basket of rolls with maple butter and a large bowl of salad.
After that the waiter brings out long platters with Carved Beef, Tilapia, Turkey, Mash Potatoes and Stuffing. Everything tasted delicious, so we asked for double the meats the next go around.
The Berry Cobbler with whipped cream was a good way to end the meal. It tasted like the world’s best Blueberry Muffin.
The characters were great, especially Chip and Dale. They communicated with my nephew about his favorite video games (Call of Duty) by using funny gun movements and even a bouncing betty. All of the characters were great, dressed in their farm outfits. I must admit, Mickey was looking especially good in his overalls and a flannel.
The place rotates very slowly in a circle like a merry go round, but its so slow you can’t even tell it’s moving. It also overlooks the ride “Living with the Landâ€.
Spectacular

Garden Grill EASILY is becoming our families favorite place to eat. The food is outstanding, service is great, and character interaction is top notch. The rotation was not working when we visited which was a bit of a downer but still not enough of a negative to knock it down from a 10. I honestly have no idea how someone could put this lower then an eight. We will continue to visit the Garden Grill any trip in the future.

In planning our trip, this was the ADR we were the most concerned about. However, it ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip!! We checked in early, and were seated early. The meal started with bread and salad, its hard to choose what was better! The rolls were buttery and warm, and the salad was fresh and delightfully crisp! The main dishes were all good, however, at our table the fish and beef were the favorite and we asked for extras of all. The dessert cobbler was cakey and delicious. As an all adult group, the characters were unobtrusive, and even conned my father into taking a picture with them! We loved our meal here, and will definitely go back the next time we're in Disney!!

Do yourself a favor and eat here! Upon entering the restaurant, the gentleman who seated us was wonderful! So friendly and funny! Our waitress was hilarious also! Wonderful waitress, we really appreciated her sense of humor (Jen). She was great! Now the food! Everything and I mean everything was awesome! My Mom is not a ranch dressing person, so Jen offered to bring out some plain salad and provided us with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to drizzle on it. the salad was fresh and delicious and we loved it! Next on the meal : the turkey was delicious and juicy and the bread pudding was delicious! The tilapia was amazingly flaky and the tomato on top was fantastic! I'm not a fish eater and I absolutely adored it and had seconds! The roasted vegetables underneath were cooked perfectly and not all mushy. The roast beef and mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious and we got seconds of this. The cobbler for dessert was also fantastic as were the cute little cupcake cones. My 7 year old really enjoyed the Mac N' Cheese and had seconds of that. She ate some of her chicken but doesn't like sweet potato fries, so the other adults at the table helped out with this. This was really a fantastic meal! Chip and Dale are favorites, so they played this up a little bit and all of the characters were really great! The revolving restaurant is really neat too. It's a nice change to all of the other buffets to be able to sit and relax while your waitress does the hard work. I'll definitely be back to the Garden Grill!

We ate several buffets on our trip the first week in December, but this was our favorite. The food was good but the best part of the meal was our wonderful server. I believe her name was Fiorella. She treated our 27 year old developmentally disabled son so thoughtfully and made sure the characters knew it was his birthday trip, so it was very special for him. He loved the meal, especially the mac n cheese. I realize it is not gourmet food but for those of us who enjoy someone else cooking and cleaning up, it was delicious!

We had a great server. We love Living with the Land, and read so many good reviews.
The food was ok. It was good enough, not the greatest.
The character interaction was the best. They were all great and played around with us.
It was good enough for one time.
Pros:
Great character interactionCons:

This is a character meal that we have done before. Last time there was excellent character interaction with everyone this time it was quick and focused only on DS. I found all over Disney this to be the case. The salad used to have fresh green beans in it but not this time. The salad was really light on dressing could have used a little more. The butter balls sat in maple syrup and made things sticky. The bread was good same bread you get at Mama Melrose. The turkey had a lemon caper sauce. The beef was cooked well and the fish alright. We ordered more of the potatos, beef, and turkey and mac and cheese for DS. That was all he ate off the kids. My mom ate his chilcken leg, husband ate broccoli and everyone shared sweet potato fries. DS at the mac and cheese and beef and rolls. Dessert was a cobbler- sick of blueberry though. Not sure about coming back. While it was my dad's fave last time not sure anyone will pick it next time. Our waitress was MIA most of the time and we had a woman who appeared to be dressed more like a manager with dressier attire on bring food and drinks on occasion. This is where you question tipping.
