Juan, a Chef at Bricks Family Restaurant at the hotel, prepared this beautiful vegan pancake plate for our family. We really appreciated his thoughtfulness in presentation and the result was delicious. Although the buffet had fruits, tater tots and a few other items that fit our dietary choices, this made our kids feel like they were able to enjoy traditional breakfast foods like the other kids dining around us, too. Thank you Juan for your special attention to our needs!

We ended our first day at the resort with a supper buffet. They had a carving station with a couple meat options, they also had pizza, tator tots, and other foods that our son liked.

With your stay you also get breakfast in the morning included. The breakfast buffet also had a lot of options that often was a balance between what kids like and what the parents like. Still for a breakfast that is included it was really good.

Overall we all got full and maybe even ate more than we needed. They do take reservations so if you want to be sure to get in at the time you want, go ahead and make a reservation.

This is one of our favorite things to do at Legoland. They have plenty of gluten free options and the staff is amazing. The food is wonderful, with tons of variety! The decor is so cute. Shoutout to Chef Ed, who always makes our trip special! We love how helpful, knowledgeable and helpful Chef Ed is. Thank you so much!

You have to wait a long time in the cold weather outside to get a table for breakfast unless you go very early or very late. It happened twice to us in our two-day stay at the hotel. Terrible experience to start the day.

Although it is disheartening to speak ill of food prepared through someone's hard work, I am writing this candid review in the hope that the company, rather than the diligent staff, will address the need for significant improvements to the food's quality.

The employees who assisted us were all remarkably hardworking and friendly, and I was thoroughly satisfied with their service. The primary issue, however, was the quality of the meal itself.

While I did not grow up in the United States and have never eaten in an American middle or high school cafeteria, I have often seen pictures online depicting its notoriously poor standards. The dishes at this restaurant seemed to be a faithful recreation of those images.

The quality was of a standard one rarely encounters. To make a comparison, the closest item might be a McDonald's McMuffin, yet the food here prompted me to wonder if a McMuffin would be superior.

We ate the breakfast simply because it was included with our hotel stay; our decision not to have dinner here was, in retrospect, a wise one. While it is possible the dinner quality is vastly different, I remain skeptical.

Ultimately, aside from the sheer convenience of being able to dine in the hotel before heading directly to Legoland, the quality of the food was an experience I never wish to repeat.

The buffet was ok but overpriced. The other restaurant is better for dinner.

Ate dinner w/ 2 adults & 2 kids, 120 out the door. Terrible food. Variety of junk food options for the kids so at least they were fed, although even my youngest commented on the pizza being so hard he couldn’t eat it. At first the adults food options sounds good after being at Lego land but once you start trying some of it you realize that you made a big mistake eating here. All Food was terrible and you should go somewhere else for dinner. The price would have been fine if there was better food.

The food was very bad. And it wasn’t inexpensive.

This place serves a purpose but it’s not exactly an ideal spot for food. Kind of loud and intense. They make you get reservations, which I understand, but is still kind of annoying.

Dinner wasn't too bad, but breakfast? Carbohydrates galore with a waft of dirty dishes.

Paid 120 dollars for 4 people (2 adults 2 kids). Didn't realize Bricks was referring to the food.

This place needs the health dept called! Absolutely disgusting! My sis got a Diet Coke and when she got back to the table, there was a ball of slime floating on the top!!!! Absolutely disgusting. We couldn’t even finish breakfast after that and will never be back!

The food is dry and unappealing. The variety is random and not fulfilling. For the money, I should be satisfied but instead I feel like I’ve been to a restaurant where they serve you day old leftovers from fast food places.

This is regarding the dinner buffet. This was our first time at Legoland Resort and decide to try Bricks' dinner buffet. Don't waste your money. There is barely a selection, employees look unhappy, and there was no one at the pasta station so we couldn't utilize that. Food was mediocre. Not worth what we paid per person.

Legoland needs to revamp this place or shut it down. Such a bad first impression for us.

The atmosphere is what you are paying for. The food was absolutely terrible for the price you pay. Some food tasted like it was leftovers from the morning buffet. The only thing that really tasted decent were the desserts.
