Crystal Palace meal or The Garden Grill

My mum wants to go to Crystal Palace meal, my son wants Garden Grill. What is the best food in your opinion and which one would you go to if you had to make a choice. Thanks for any help.

I've eaten at both, prefer the food in Garden Grill as not a fan of buffet
Plus no charcters in Crystal Palace at the moment.

We have booked for both and hoping by time we go we get characters back at Crystal Palace.
For us we felt Crystal Palace will prob cater more for everyone’s tastes whereas with Garden Grill we are getting a good character experience and food seems to get good reviews.

For me it would be Crystal Palace. I quite like a buffet if there are people with different tastes.
I find the food at Garden Grill quite bland.

I've done lunch and dinner at both and also breakfast at Garden Grill. I love them both and my pick would be Garden Grill as we prefer the family style service, this is a more laid back meal and we love the turkey, stuffing, mash and veg they serve. The rotating restaurant through the living with the land set is fun and you get to meet Farmer Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale. It's really a great meal.

However, the variety of food on offer at Crystal Palace is better...there are lots of starter options, peel and eat shrimp, many salads, soups, carved meat, pasta, sides of all varieties. Lots of little desserts and an ice cream sundae section. So, if you don't like the thanksgiving type meal offered at Garden Grill this is a better option. There is only one dessert at Garden Grill, strawberry shortcake, so if you don't like that then tough, actually saying that they did also give us some sugar cookies. My DD loved the Winnie the pooh characters too, so Crystal Palace was always a must for us. But they aren't there at the mo.

I guess it comes down to your family preference for the type of meal. Garden grill wins for me.

We like both but Crystal Palace wins for sheer variety - something for everyone. You get the characters at Garden Grill though so that’s a bonus. Still no sign of characters returning to the Crystal Palace 😞

I will try and persuade my mum to do Garden Grill, if we can get a reservation.
