This was my second visit there. Had the dining deal. Especially with the dining deal you get more than your money's worth here. A full plate of almost nothing but meat what else could you want. If you want a piece of cake make sure you have others with you because it is huge. They also have a show there and they interact with the children making the experience enjoyable for the whole family! There is a gift shop and if you're into beer they have that there too. The restrooms were Mega clean.

Das Festhaus is one of our go-to spots in the park. The shows are always wonderful and entertaining, and the food is usually good. I especially love the caramel cheesecake, they always seem to have it here and it’s delicious! It’s also a great place to escape the rain or just take a break. The building is huge and can hold a lot of people. There’s a family bathroom and even a nursing center inside the women’s restroom, which is a great touch for families. Always a solid stop during our visit!

One of the best places to eat in the park, great shows while you eat, all year round great shows. It's very pricey but more for your money here then other restaurants in the park. The blackforest cake is the best.

This food is great! I have actually been to Bavaria, in Germany, and the sausage sampler meal tasted like a real German meal!! Great place to get some food if your hungry in Busch Gardens!! Also, even though the 6:30 show didn’t start until 6:50, it was super cool! All the dancers dressed as German people and were really good at the show!!

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.

We come here to eat every time we come to Busch Gardens because the food is excellent. You get so much food. Corn beef is cooked to perfection as is the sausages. We have never been disappointed over the years. Great place to get in air conditioning. The weekends they have shows. Bathrooms accessible from inside and outside.

Food choices were plentiful. Excellent fresh food. Prices were very high. Spent 135 on lunch for 2 adults and 2 teenagers.
