One of my husbands favorite places to visit while in Epcot is Germany. He absolutely loves the food and we usually go to the Beirgarden. However, we were eating a little bit on all the countries this time and we came across the Sommerfest. I loved that they had so many options and that you could seat yourself and people watch. We got the bratwurst combo and Schofferhofer. is awesome!
On our quest to stop at every country, the family ordered the bratwurst. It wasn't bad but not great. Definitely had better but if you want a taste of Germany, this is worth the stop. Would highly recommend the caramel shop that is sponsored by Whether's Original.
I would have been quite remiss if I visited EPCOT and didn't get a freaking bratwurst from the German pavilion. Timing worked out well since I had a heavy winner. Now THIS was a proper bratwurst! A thick piece of meat with an absurd amount of sauerkraut. It was exactly everything I had hoped for! Well worth the wait.
This was one of the destinations as part of my "drink around the world" adventure at Epcot where I got one drink from each country in the park. Sommerfest is located in the Germany section of the park. It's a small walk-up window where you can either order at the kiosk there or order on the Disney app beforehand for mobile pick-up. I got the schöfferhofer pink grapefruit hefeweizen ($11.50) which was very light and refreshing. It was easy to sip even for a person who doesn't gravitate toward beer. This was great and one of my favorite drinks from the "drink around the world" series.
I was super excited about a giant German pretzel from the Germany pavilion in EPCOT, sadly this one was disappointing. It was GIANT, like bigger than my head, but honestly cold and super dry. I grabbed some mustard to add and that helped a little bit. Definitely would skip this snack and try some of the other amazing bites in the park! Extra points for this great picture I got of it though!
Vegan sausage (we think it's beyond) is soooo flavorful, pretzel bun is soft, hefty amounts of sauerkraut. Wonderful vegan option! It wasn't on the menu but they should have it just ask.
Bratwurst was great as well as the chips but the true star was the Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen! Don't miss out on it, it's GREAT!!! Service is very fast so go here to eat if you want to squeeze in a meal. Ambiance includes being very hot in the summer so make sure to save a table before heading inside.
Was a miss for me. The chips were super crunchy, to the point where they hurt my gums when I chew. I don't know how older people can eat this thing given their even more sensitive mouths. The bread was too thick and I was hoping the sausage would be bigger. The sauerkraut was good, no complaints here. Service was quick and we were provided free water. One thing I do have to note is that there are limited seatings so many people were just sitting outside on a curb. We managed to get a table right outside the store but it was really dirty. The service crew could do a better job cleaning the tables.
Pretzel. Bread. Pudding. Just get it! I've had this several times and it's consistently tasty, warm and just the right amount of salty to sweet. If you are a fan of bread pudding, you should definitely check this out. You can mobile order but there usually isn't a line since Sommerfest is hidden next to the Biergarten restaurant.
The Pink Grapefruit beer was delicious and light. It doesn't really give you that bloat that normal beer gives. I wish there were more places to sit to enjoy the food but when we did get to eat it, the bratwurst was well seasoned and the bread was fluffy and toasted well. The chips were savory and nice to have with the drink but as others have stated already, not my top choice in Epcot.
A great place to stop and snack in the Germany pavilion! They have a small menu that's available right at the line entry and overhead at the registers. The bratwurst was a touch disappointing in that I would have liked a different bun. I basically pulled half the bread off just so I could eat it. However the flavor was great!! The mac and cheese was good! Hubs wasn't the biggest fan, but the baby and I liked it and shared that one. It was really quickly served and it's a little hidden so the line is usually short. They stopped serving pretzels here, but you can get them just around the corner at the food kiosk at the pavilion entry. Overall: A Good food, decent pricing, and quick! Great stop off for quick serve style food.
We were looking for some real food (more than a snack) while walking around everywhere in Epcot. Luckily for us, there were some good options in Germany Pavilion. They had a Biergarten Restaurant, but we didn't want to have that much food, and we were not interested in drinking beer just yet... And they thought of people like us, they had a kiosk outside the restaurant called Sommerfest, where you can purchase a la cate items. The food offering at the Snack section is limited, but it had what we wanted, Bratwurst! It is served on a freshly baked roll with sauerkraut and house-made paprika chips. My goodness this thing was GREAT!!! Bratwurst was super plump and juicy underneath the mountain of fresh sauerkraut, packed with flavor and oh-so-satisfying! The chips were really nice too, super crunchy and tasty. It was exactly what we wanted and more!
My friend insisted we come here for a brat since I (an annual passholder) had not been here before. She said immediately when we received ours that the brats themselves are never this small and usually they take up the whole length of the bun, so that was disappointing as we both try to get a good amount of protein in to keep going in this FL heat. Nonetheless, the pretzel bun was great although would be better and less dry if the brat took up the whole bun. We got the sauerkraut on the side which was a good choice as you can customize to your liking. The paprika chips were good but with so much bread and not a lot of meat we left most of them uneaten. Might try again in the future! read more
What's better than a gem... a hidden gem! It's tough at Disney to fit in everything because there are always long lines for the best stuff. But not this one, Sommerfest doesn't have a standard location. No door. No obvious signage. Yet still one of the jewels of the entire EPCOT park. The pretzel bread pudding!!!! Imagine it! Soft pretzels baked down in ooey gooey goodness and then smothered in even more rich glaze. Soooooooooo gooooooooddddd The cast members are still donning lederhosen and the cut out hidden in this back archway has beautiful murals all over... but for some reason, I've never had to wait in a lengthy line here read more
This is one of my favorite hidden gems! The first time i came i waited too late and it was closed, so definitely come during the day. For us, the line moved really quick. The women working were efficient and kind. You have to get the pretzel bread pudding while youre here! It is warm soft pretzel dough made creamy and topped with caramel and vanilla sauce! The perfect sweet treat to try as youre moving in the park! I just wish there was a little more places seating because i had to sit at the fountain and ended up spilling a little on myself lol. read more

First off let me start by saying, PLEASE DO NOT EVER STOP SERVING THE PRETZEL BREAD PUDDING!!!! It's just that delicious !!! It's tender, moist, fluffy, and warm with every bite.. I absolutely adore this dessert. It's also very affordable and a really nice portion. You have definitely got yourself something unique and special Disney!! it's located in Germany in the world showcase in Epcot . Conveniently located and easily accessible. I'll definitely be coming back for more on my next visit... PLEASE KEEP THIS TREASURE ON YOUR MENU FOR MANY MANY YEARS TO COME !! read more
While waiting at the beer cart in Germany, my friend stopped at the Sommerfest cart to pick up a bratwurst to share. There are also needs available at the Sommerfest cart, too. What has been super popular the past few months is the German grapefruit beer, the Schofferhofer Grapefruit shandy. It was super sweet and delicious at only 2.5% alcohol. My friend also picked us up a bratwurst that was coated with the works: the usual ketchup, mustard and the necessary German sauerkraut. It also came with a side of heavily seasoned chips. Feeling like some beer and brats without having to sit down for a full buffet style meal? The Sommerfest cart is for you! read more
I was hoping that there would be more of a selection for quick services especially during the wine and food festival. The only QS offered was brats and super pretzels. The brat was a tad undercooked and lacking flavor. The paprika chips were stale. But since I paid a premium I had to make it work. read more

Pretty good! The Bratwurst was tasty, but a little small. It did come with sauerkraut and a couple chips though. It is a good place to eat, but not my top choice in Epcot. Would recommend though! read more

Sommerfest is my favorite quick service restaurant at Disney. Located in the Germany section of EPCOT, Sommerfest serves German food and beer. We started with a pretzel. It was soft, salty and had wonderful flavor. For entrees we tried the frankfurter and bratwurst. Both were excellent. The buns were fresh and complimented the sausages perfectly. The bratwurst was my favorite. Topped with sour kraut and mustard, it really was good. We also had two very good German beers in souvenir mugs. The mugs were plastic, which was lame, but the beer was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant. Note: Disney dining plan is accepted. Each meal costs one quick service meal credit. read more
The bratwurst is a little disappointing here (bread to meat ratio) but that is more than made up for by the apple strudel. It costs less than many of the Food & Wine booth dessert offerings and is huge by comparison. Plus it tastes amazing!!! Then you have three German beer selections to pair it up with. The big hit this year seems to be the Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen. If you like grapefruit you must try this beer! The German potato salad gets an honorable mention here too. read more

Pleople eating on the floor no tables at all. Unbelievable, you are paying to get to Epcot center and at the Germany pavilion, they do not even have tables for people to eat after paying around $20 per person (bratwurst for $10.29, an apple strudel for $ 4.79 and a beverage for $3.69) Very uncomfortable!!! And a disappointment!! I guess welcome to Disney!!! Check out the pictures!! read more

I came here to try the nudel gratin and glad I did. It was delicious and the perfect serving. It is very inexpensive. My son had the bratwurst and said it was very good. The seating is outside for this place and the staff is not to friendly. read more
Sommerfest was on my list to try out in Epcot's World of Showcase, and of course I was in for their German Sausage and Beer. Once you're inside, you get in line and you can already see their short menu on a pole. There's two choices of sausages and that is the Bratwurst or the Frankfurter. I wanted to make sure I got the best one. I asked the cashier at the booth what's popular between the Bratwurst or the Frankfurter? He had told me to go with the Bratwurst because its grilled and that was all I understood from him because, he had a thick German accent. So how could he go wrong? and by reading his name plate badge he's from Hamberg Germany. I went what he suggested. "Bratwurst Combo" ($9.99). This sausage was beefy but, there was no taste to it. Even with the sauerkraut toppings the sweet and soured cabbages doesn't help it much. I added packets of hot mustard and it did give it a tiny bit of flavor. I wasn't a fan with the baked roll it was a big piece of bread and its dense, it made everything too plain. This order comes with crispy Paprika potato chips, the seasoning tasted like curry. The best part I got out of this place was my choice German beer "Erdinger Dunkle" ($9.50). What caught my attention is the dunkle, that means dark wheat beer. If you had stouts before it's comparable to it. It's malty, smells good and tastes great. Sommerfest is not bad at all. I was hoping to get a good pairing of German sausage and beer. When I do get an opportunity to comeback, I'd like to try out the Frankfurter and another round of delicious beers. read more

This is on the food and drinks. We drank around the world and got the Schofferhofer Pink Grapefruit and rate it 8.8 out of 10. We also go the Frankfurter which was delicious with some spicy chips and the Apple Strudel which was fantastic. read more

So when the Frozen ride broke down had to ease my nerves with a fine beer. Luckily they had a refreshing grapefruit heff to wash down my brat. Both were excellent and makes me long for my soon to be second home near Munich and the Alps read more
Sommerfest is a quick service dining locale. I've heard a lot about their Nudel Gratin and was quite excited to try it. It was definitely cheesy but I found it all to be a little too mushy, including the noodles that were way too soft. The dish was really heavy and oily as well. The entrance for us seemed a little hard to find as well, since it's next to a restaurant, while we were just looking for a quick grab and go (which we read you could do). There also didn't seem to be any seating that we could find except for the fountain in front of it. All in all, an okay stop for a snack but the Nudel Gratin didn't meet our expectations. (Also not sure if I can tell the difference that they used cheese custard.) read more
Brats and beer, what more can ya ask for in a quick lunch? Sommerfest is a small food stand located in the Germany section at World Showcase in Epcot. This little stand offers bratwurst, frankfurters, hand rolled pretzels, beer and a few desserts. My wife and I had been eating sweets all morning while visiting Epcot so when we came across this stand while touring Germany we knew we had to stop and get our meat fix. We ordered one brat and one frank. Both of these was served on a soft roll with steamed sauerkraut. Both the brat and the frank were delicious. They both had great flavors and had a nice snap. The sauerkraut was also great. To wash down this food we got two large iced teas (I wasn't in the mood for beer at that moment). The service and prices were both great. Once my order was placed it only took a few minutes to get my food from the pick up window. For both the brat and frank and the two drinks it cost only about $15 bucks, which was good for a quick bite. read more
