A large banquet hall with wooden tables and benches. In the middle is a stage with actors that come out and sing with a band. They turn off the lights for the show, so if you are eating make sure you are ready for that. Once you come in, you can choose between one of a few different lines to stand in based on the type of cuisine you would like to eat. They have a selection of pizza, fries, sandwich, sausage sampler, chicken, desserts, jello and a salad. They lines are pretty long to get food, so if you are very hungry, you might want to go elsewhere. The service is cafeteria style where you pick your items off the line, therefore some of the items looked as if they had been sitting there for awhile. There were side salads that were wilted beyond belief looking as if they had been through a dehydrator selling for 4.29. As you made your way down the line, the workers looked as if they would be anywhere else but there, while making the plates at a snail's pace. Finally as you got the the end, the soda fountain contained a mountain of ice so that you would not be able to set the cup down. The hot plates contained only one side which would best be described as sliced canned potatoes with Italian dressing as a sauce. The chicken on the other had was actually pretty good, if only it would have been accompanied by an equally as good side. For the high prices of the meals and the amount of time it takes to get through the line, I think this place is an average place to eat, not good but not bad. It is an amusement park, dont expect anything too amazing for the...

The only thing good about this place is the beer selection if purchasing $17 beers don't turn you off. The food is extremely sub par for the price as well. I know theme parks aren't know for low prices or quality food, but this was abysmal. It took us over an hour to get through the line to get food and then when it was out turn they were out of the food we wanted and they asked us to go wait in the other line to get it there.

The service is horrendous, and it seems like not a single soul employed there takes pride in their work. Also the amount of people trying to pile in all at once makes getting their sub par food offerings very difficult. I was appalled at how unorganized and chaotic it was in that building.

The park almost forces you to eat at certain places, here being one, and they do this by only opening a very limited amount of restaurants, and by doing such they create an unpleasant environment. Creating this unpleasant environment is intentional because it causes less people to take advantage of the all day dining. I don't know anyone who would want to deal with that chaos again just to receive the product the restaurant puts out.

God help your soul if a show is happening when you want to eat. The chaos level when that happens is multipled by 10.

The Best Advice I Can Give Anyone!!! Is to avoid this restaurant an the all day dining plan...

Do not eat here.

I've been going to this place for years and I so rarely give a 1 star review, but this place deserves it. The shows here have gone way downhill and so has the food.

Each time I go to a show here it's one of the worst in the park. I went about a week ago and our food was horrendous. My salad had rotting lettuce and so did my relative. The meat was ok on it and the tomatoes were fresh but it's hard to get past that taste of expired food.

We took it up and got a replacement and the ladies just rolled their eyes at us. I noticed they did not check the other salads to see if they rotted either. They left them for the next poor souls to pay $12 for. Yes. They were $12 for rotted food.

We went and took it to another area and they gave us a replacement again. It was still rotted but not as badly. We refused to eat it and DID NOT get refunded. Between the two of us we paid $24 for rotted food. Such a major waste of money.

The show was just as bad. There were only 2 girls in it who could sing and the rest sounded aweful. They were trying to be cool and sing modern songs like "yummy yum" by Justin Bieber... it was really bad.

Honestly the scariest thing at...

There were a lot of food choices and the desserts looked wonderful! I got a Pizza for $16 and side salad for $8. It was a bit confusing on how to order and pick up the pizza since they were none sitting out to grab. I asked the lady behind the counter and she said, “I’ll bring it out”. I wasn’t sure if that meant to stay where I was but it was very busy and I didn’t want to hold up the line so I walked to the end of the line. A few minutes later, I still didn’t see my pizza come out so I asked a man who was putting ice in the fountain drink machine, where I would pick up my pizza. He pointed to a small counter beside the fountain machine. I stood there for a little bit and then saw the lady with my pizza but she couldn’t see me so I had to sorta yell for her to hear me. Once I got to the cashier, I saw all of the utensils but didn’t see the napkins. The cashier told me that they were at the end of each register. Once I paid, I still couldn’t find the napkins. I later found the dispensers mounted on the wall dividers behind the cashiers. The pizza was o.k. and the salad was good. I like the décor in the Festhaus.

Visited during the Christmas Town Festival for Busch Gardens, so waits were obviously longer than usual. Food was okay, beverages a little overpriced. The food is heavy, rich, and obviously Germanic, so don't come if you don't like milk, cream, butter, pork or beer. As for entertainment, there's dining tables that surround a large central dance/theatre platform, with walking space around. They sang traditional Christmas Carols, had a variety of set pieces they wheeled around for different acts, and nicely utilized a booming surround sound system and a high-tech system of lights and projectors for background effects and stage lighting. There were a couple dozen actors too, so they had a diverse cast of people to fit many roles- not a small, understaffed event. Leaving afterwards was easy- no crush of people, no trampling or shoving, and there wasn't much wait to see the show either. Singing was good, acting was more like elaborate pantomime, but it is a prerecorded musical event. Overall worth the time to go and watch.

We always eat here when we go to Busch Gardens. Dinner and a show. They actually had a Christmas themed show for the holidays which we hadn't seen before. Lots of different food options, pizzas, salads, sausages, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, lots of yummy dessert options etc. Yes, they can be pricy--but, it is an amusement park so there's that. Women's restroom has a separate nursing station room with a comfy chair, changing table, and sink. There is a gift shop just inside to the left when you enter with lots of cute trinkets. Definitely one of the best places to go if you are with a group and need plenty of seating.
