Jen Cloonan

Fun for the whole family when the dancers and band come out. The Festhaus platter is a winner and it's nice to get a good beer to go with it.

Bill Hurst

Be sure to check out the craft beer bar in back. A flight of four us $12.95. They also feature a daily 7 oz beer special for .40! (A per person limit if 2)

Kerry Arruda

Very dark during the Christmas show. It was difficult feeding our young kids, not to mention ourselves, in the dark. Was probably easier to see closer to the stage.

Travis Miller

Very large space to hang out or eat food. They have shows here too!

Frank Forrester

The new Entwined show this year is a whole lot better than in 2012. Make sure to also come back in the evening for the return of This Is Oktoberfest .

Colin Lord

There's a very good beer selection here: both up front and towards the back next to the food.

Mike H.

Large beer selection and wide seating for shows

Bob Connell

This is my favorite large cafe . I enjoy the food and the show is awesome!1

John Johnson

Entwined is really good now. It's much more geared toward adults, but still fun for the kids. They hit a home run with this change.

Charles Fuller

Bring back the old show, please. It was worth catching. Entwined is worth missing.

Rob Knapp

Walk in the front doors and find the small beer stand to your right. It has a Bass tap and a Guinness tap, so instead of paying $5.69 for a bottle of Bud, pay $6.29 for a 20-ounce black and tan !

Javien

Performances while you eat. What could be better? The environment really feels as if you are experiencing Oktoberfest

Nora

Take a bottle of German wine to your meal and enjoy!

Jason BrewerSr

Bottle beers $8.99... Draft beers $9.29.....

Brandon Fuchs

Festhaus during Christmas town is something everyone should experience. Beer , brats , and dancing !

Emma

Yummy sausage sampler with potatoes ! Tastes just like Germany:)

Matthew T

Food is great and good beer selection although expensive . The new show is horrible, avoid if you can. A fairy tale musical . I really miss the old German music show :-(

Heidi Gareau

Cute little show! Beer is super cold when u first walk in the fridge was 31 degrees! Yum...

Maryanne

If you don't have small children, schedule your meal so you DON'T have to sit through "Entwined."

Bonnie J

The German sampler was good. Ribs , chicken and sausage .

Jeff Tincher

Get in early for lunch . Small kids can sit by stage on mushroom seats.

Jules

Made to order sandwiches and salads located in Das Festhaus :)

K.C. Jones

The beer selection , and pretzels .

BGVAtips

Festhaus Kaffe sells a beer sampler . 3 varieties to choose from, 4 samples each & homemeade chips . $8.99

Monica H

Big portions , well worth it... #Mommy2Five

Dean Browell

Enjoy good beer in the Festhaus ! Finally after years of mostly AB beers you can now enjoy draft Guinness , Bass, Peroni and more!

Carolyn Pugh

Festers Kaffee in the back has low lines and cupcakes with better kids meal choices :)

Alison McNicholas

Don't eat the "manager's choice". It's a combination of things leftover from the previous week that they don't want to throw out...

M T

New show is the must miss musical of 2012! Sucks the proverbial donkey phallus. ~ Times Weekly Gazette

Bill Thomas

There is a small room to the left of the main food area that sells beer , Starbucks coffee , and desserts - never seems to be a line .

Troy Fallin

Get the sausage platter

NAT W

Best place to eat in the park

Shane Hendricks

If you love German food try the sausage sampler .

Ashley Brooks

Shocktop on draft! On a side note, the Entwined show and decorations suck. What happened to the way the Fest Haus used to be?!

George

Biggest restrooms in the place.

Will Rompala

The dancers and German oompa are BACK!

Geoff Smith

Check out the gift shop at the entrance. All items under $10!

Sarah Hogge

Pizza and fries are always good.

Jay Wagner

Fried chicken !

Mark Rusnak

Cold Beer & a place to sit on a Hot Day!

Geoff Smith

Also, the drafts are the same price as the bottled (for Bud, Bud Lite,etc) but they're 20 oz. instead of 16 oz.

Brad Hancock

Alpine sandwich is great and enough for two adults.

Busch Gardens (Official)

Plan a meal around the show times for an enhanced dining experience.

Matt

Avoid at all costs during Christmas town , waited an hour in line to eat

Jessica Watson

The turkey sub is nummy!!!!

Andy P

Food is decent, bring a toothpick.

Erin Izzy Griffin

Not impressed by the food AT ALL. The portions were way too much and we all felt sick afterwards.

padric toman

Food is ok. Ribs were horrible

Gretchen Tucker

Das ist sehr gut!
