Biergarten - lunch vs dinner?

[Haylo]

I apologize if this has been asked before, but other than the price, is there really that much different between lunch at Biergarten and dinner? I've looked at the menus and other than the Sauerbraten it seems pretty similar but maybe I'm missing something.

Also anybody that's done both lunch and dinner there, which do you prefer?

It's the exact same for lunch and dinner.

Thank you for asking I was wondering the same thing!

 

[sxeensweet]

Yes unless something has recently changed it should be the same for each.

 

[Haylo]

Thanks! That makes my decision making a lot easier :-D.

But they only have entertainment at dinner, correct?
Which I actually enjoyed, wasn't sure I was going to, but I really did.

I'm a big Sauerbraten fan. So, I try to stick to dinner. When I've been there for lunch, there was no sauerbraten offered. But that was a few years ago now. Maybe it has changed. But I do think that was the only difference so if you don't care about missing the sauerbraten, then I'd suggest the cheaper lunch offering.

There is entertainment at lunch too. Usually starts around 12:30 pm.

Who cares, when there's beer........

I'm excited to finally eat there later this month.

Exact same, was just there three weeks ago for lunch, was great, entertainment and all. A great time to go!

Does anybody know how late the entertainment runs at both lunch and dinner. We're still not sure which meal we're doing THNX

I did a quick google search and found a couple different sites listing the times for the show as:

1:15pm, 2:15pm, 3:15pm, 4:45pm, 5:55pm, 7:00pm, and 8:05pm

Have been to Biergarten many times for lunch, most recently in December. Neither Sauerbraten or Rouladen has ever been available at lunchtime. They happen to be two dishes my German-born mother cooked and I enjoy. But lunch is less expensive and there are more than enough choices then.

We always stick to lunch. Most of the offerings, all the entertainment, and if you get the first seating, faster service.

Since it seems like you've been there at opening before, is there any entertainment in that 12-1 hour? Everything I've seen posted says the first show isn't until 1:15 and I would hate to miss it because we got there too early. Right now we've made our reservation for 1pm so we can (hopefully) be seated before it starts, but if it DOES start earlier, we'd definitely prefer a slightly earlier time.

 

[Wags14]

Our past lunch reservation was for 11:30 and the first show started at 12:00 so you wouldn't miss anything. Granted this was in July, not sure about less busy times of the year.

Dinner!!!

The differences are negligible (dinner offers a couple of additional items) but the price at lunch is lower. If you're on the DDP, I'd do dinner. If paying out of pocket, I'd recommend lunch instead.
