Stayed here Thursday-Sunday We had dinner the first night. I got the cheeseburger which was good and huge! They all have two patties. The bf got the chicken Alfredo which he enjoyed and finished fast! Kids got penne bolognese sauce and broccoli They both enjoyed it and it came with plenty of sauce! Breakfast Fri-sun: pretty basic egg, bacon sausage. There was also cereal, yogurt and oatmeal stations. Fri and Sunday had pancakes while Saturday they switched it up and had French toast. I enjoyed the chilaquiles which they had Friday and Saturday. Definitely a good a heavy breakfast to get you ready for your day. Lots of options for the Buffett Service: not much to say. They say us and only came around clearing plates off the table. Ambiance: typical diner. There is a pit of legos for the kids to play in and a shelf where kids displayed their legos. There was a lot of different guns made Some parents just let their kids go crazy there. Two siblings were literally fist fighting and scratching one another for a good 3 minutes.

Better food than expected. The dragon burger was pretty good. The onion rings were average so I don't recommend upgrading to those. The kids Mac and cheese was also good. The castle atmosphere is fun for the kids. It's just expensive for what you get.

FEED YOUR WORKERS. I have had enough! I saw one of your workers starving, lonely, and tired for all of this tomfoolery. Such Shenanigans! How dare you do this. The workers are so nice to me. They even fed me cause I have no arms. I also have no legs and they carried me off to the sunset. I would let one of them marry my 6 year old daughter for how responsible they are. Such chivalry. I recommend for the fine workers that reside in that function. Food was mid tho.

Great food. Fantastic Mediterranean pizza! And they have lots of veg options in general which is much appreciated. Service was spot on. Our waiter was funny, kind and quick. Ambiance is kid friendly and fun. Great decor that sparks happy conversations. And fun play area makes at the front. Tip: Make a reservation, this is my first time eating here because I only ever tried to walk up before and never got a table! Tip: They sing a happy birthday song and give a whipped cream & sprinkles decorated cookie to the birthday kid for free.

I've been here for the breakfast buffet multiple times and it has always been just "okay". Nothing stands out about it but it is convenient while staying in the hotel.If you do not make a reservation, you end up waiting a very very long time ..so definitely get your reservation in.

Food is good and service is fast. The buffet gets very busy on weekends can be overwhelming and hard to take kids through the line as there are no trays, and drinks are in an inconvenient place. Regular restaurant hours has great food, good vegetarian options, could use a few more. Drinks at the bar are good too.

The breakfast buffet is pretty normal and tasted good. The cost was included with the room. The staff was helpful and attentive.

My family and I stayed at the hotel two nights and had two breakfasts here. Amazing buffet options with delicious food. Everything we tried was great. There were even sautéed veggies you could put on eggs (I did this and added salsa) or in a wrap. Loved it all! The hosts were super great as well and I could see everyone working really hard to keep the area clean as it was busy with kids. Loved the family atmosphere and I did not feel like a burden at all (as can be the case sometimes with kids in restaurants). Everyone was kind and welcoming.

Really expensive for what you get even considering it's a resort hotel. I ordered a pasta dish, came in a bowl. Chicken had obvious been reheated multiple times. It was tough and they don't even serve with a roll or piece of bread or a salad for $25. I wish I had retrieved my car from valet parking and driven into town for a decent meal.

We enjoyed eating at the Dragon's Den in the Castle Hotel. The staff was super friendly and the food & service were good & an upgrade to the typical in Park offerings!

Just wanted to say Javier is amazing, he made our second day eating there sooo much better he was helpful attentive kind just a total Gem y'all are lucky to have such an amazing employee. I wish we had cash because he would've gotten a tip from us! Thank you Javier!

It was great to see some great kid options. The crispy salmon and broccoli were a great find. My kiddo was so happy to eat and relax with some Lego pit fun as well. The adult crispy salmon was great! It was surprisingly quiet in the bar area. We had a lovely waitress who was so friendly.

The food was mediocre at best. Not much veggie options. The eggs were powder eggs... it was free so we can't really complain, but I wouldn't have paid for it that's for sure.

Didn't realize that with a reservation there would be such a long lineup to get in. I would get there before your reservation time to get in on time. The buffet had good variety and the Monte Cristo sandwich was excellent.
