Food requests at Garden Grill

[WawaCoffee]

We have a breakfast ADR at Garden Grill for our upcoming trip. We are both VERY excited for this, as it will be our first character dining experience.

Would it be possible to make requests, or are you essentially just given the large plate of food and that's it? We know that neither of us will be eating the sticky bun, and we would largely prefer more scrambled eggs instead of tater tots. I'm not sure how strict they are with substitutes/modifying the serving sizes of what they give you.

I think they would give you more/less of anything they serve. It’s all you can eat.

Didn't realize it was all you can eat.. I thought it was just the single plate of food they bring out for the table. Awesome, thanks!

Nope, they are happy to bring out more of whatever you want.

Sorry, but I have to ask...WHY??? That sticky bun is out of this world good.

 

[starrysky]

We’ve not done breakfast but it’s the same principle at lunch. We were asked if we wanted more of any items and they just brought that.

We both have a strong intolerance to dairy products. Don't want to stink up Spaceship Earth afterwards.

Yes, they have accommodated my requests for none of this and more of that.

Ikr! My husband wants to go back just for that sticky bun.

No. They're* much more likely to accommodate requests for "more/less/none" of something at a Family Styly service restaurant than a standard, plated-dish one (although I did once get an entire loaf of pineapple bread at a restaurant I decline to identify ).

*any restaurant

I was solo last year. Did you know there is only 1 size cinnamon bun?

I agree! We always go to that restaurant on every trip BECAUSE of the sticky bun!

 

[Ravens girl]

Not only can you make requests for some, more or none of an item, you can let them know you’re dairy intolerant. They will help you out.

Seeing that is pure torture if you can’t have gluten anymore (like me...lol) Not everyone in my family is so it still comes to the table and I cry a bit inside. Haha

I would just tell your waiter as soon as you sit that you don't want the sticky bun. As for the platter, we had a pre-opening ADR and once a whole bunch of us were seated a few wait staff came out carrying several platters each and just put them on the seated tables. Our waiter came back a bit later and asked if she could get us more of anything and got us more bacon and eggs..

Leftover yumminess can be put in a cup to go....

Your husband must be my husband's long lost twin! And my husband is not one to eat sweets!

I was coming here to say the same thing!

As to the original question, we've found Garden Grill to be very helpful and accomodating. My brother doesn't eat meat, and they brought us food so that the meat wasn't teaching the non-meat items.

It is def all you can put away, good solid breakfast food, bar the terrible coffee served in WDW and DO NOT PASS on the GIANT cinnamon roll, I too was hesitant to try it as sugary types of food is just not my choice of food and that thing was delicious, at least give it a small taste as I know you will try more!!

I'm curious as to whether you can get the mickey waffles served with syrup instead of the chocolate hazelnut Nutella like nonsense they are advertising (I'm a traditionalist)
