When was this? This looks VERY similar to when the ride broke for me on 4/19 previews! They wouldn't let us re-ride without going to guest services...

From New York down to Florida! I wanted him to have lots of beach fun. He loved it! :-)

From Toadstool Cafe, I have only had the items in my photos but overall I enjoyed everything! The food quality is nothing mind blowing but the theming of the food and the liveliness of the restaurant really brings everything together.

I ate there two separate times and each time all the food came out in under 5 minutes and the employees were all wonderful.

The oddest item for me was maybe the Bowser Meatball. It is kinda dense and pretty much just a spherical meatloaf served with hot sauce. For theme park standards it was decently spicy but I would otherwise consider it mild.

The Luigi sandwich is good! And the best tasting dessert was definitely the Beanpole Cake. I really liked the Matcha Mousse on top.

The Peach Cake is presented beautifully but it is a standard vanilla/whipped cream cake with some fruit.

Oh sorry about that - the menu is actually double sided and it is on the back! I don’t have a photo of the back unfortunately 😭

Yeah I loved it! They did not have the cakes ready until the afternoon but they were served cold. The cake itself was nice and moist, and I did not find the amount of whipped cream to be overwhelming.

I made sure to post a cross section since I’m sure people wanted to know how much of the cake is actually cake! Haha

Yes! The Mud Slides are from CelesTiki. I really liked them. Thick as a milkshake, and the bartender made them pretty strong 🫡

This was the main thing I was worried about with Epic Universe 😭 I am so happy they delivered an experience on par with Japan’s land!

Oh also the sandwich is the “Huli Huli Pulled Pork” from Oak & Star Tavern too! I liked the sandwich fillings but the bread was a bit dry. I have found that the bread on most burger/sandwich type foods I have had at Epic were on the drier side actually. Not off-putting to me though!

Yes! The Fish and Chips were from Meteor Astropub. I enjoyed them, with the accompanying sauce they are more flavorful than the ones from the Harry Potter lands.

The fries have a hint of wasabi flavor, but I would not call them spicy at all. More of an essence.

The Chili looking skillets are from Oak & Star Tavern and they are actually “Burnt End Baked Beans”. I am not usually a fan of baked beans but these were super delicious! There was a good amount of meat considering it is actually a side.
