    As soon as I walked into this restaurant, my group and I were seated. When you sit down you are able to order what you want from the menu through the QR code on the table. I ordered the kids menu cheeseburger meal that comes with fries, broccoli, corn on the cob and a cookie. The menu said the burger is small but I found it as a regular size burger. I really liked this meal and it was only $14. My group all ordered the same thing as well. We also ordered the Princess Peaches cake which is $23 and it is a great deal for a group. We all were able to enjoy the cake. For drinks we had the cup that gives us free refills and we also asked for free small cups of water. While you are eating the lights dim and it makes it seem like Bowser is trying to enter. This restaurant is super unique and I really enjoyed my experience here.

    Five stars for the atmosphere two stars for the food, I'm giving this three stars. Everyone says go to pizza moon that it's the best place to grab a bite to eat. Unfortunately, my kids do not care how good food taste they wanted super Nintendo themed meals. So I went in with a very low bar on taste. It is super convenient how you just find a table scan the QR code and order from there. Seriously I wish Disney did this. It got people in and out very quickly and it was so nice not to have to wait in line to order. At about 1140 we were able to snag one of the last tables. However, I never saw the line get too long because the restaurant is very big. My kids got the kids spaghetti and the kids burger. The little trinkets that come with the meals are a great idea. That's what made this meal so special for them. My younger son ended up eating my older son spaghetti. My older son didn't like the spaghetti and ate a bit of a side of fries. My husband ended up eating my son's burger. And I ate my son's broccoli. So it was everybody eating off of everyone else's dishes. I got the chicken and it was actually pretty good. The cream sauce that it came with was surprisingly delicious. Definitely not healthy but good nonetheless. The potatoes were very good as well that came with a dish which surprised me. This place is so fun for the atmosphere. There are windows to the "outside" so you see toads running all about the land. Every so often, Bowser comes and attacks them. Would I come here for the food, no. But the atmosphere is cute if you love super Nintendo like we do.

    Ok this is a really nicely themed restaurant, the inside is awesome. the only downside is how crazy busy it gets. My app wouldn't work so I had to order at the counter. The food is decent but the meatballs are spicy,

    I had been reading reviews about this place for a while, so I knew it was going to be worth the wait and it absolutely was! There was a line when we arrived, but we only waited about 30 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. The restaurant is incredibly cute, and every single detail is picture-perfect. Ordering is super easy since everything is done through a QR code or the app. Once we were seated, we placed our order and our food arrived within a minute or two. I couldn't believe how fast the service was! My husband ordered Bowser's Fireball Challenge and said he really enjoyed it. For a theme park restaurant, the food was surprisingly delicious. I ordered the Super Mushroom Soup, Garlic Knots, Mario Burger, and the Super Star Lemon Squash to drink. The mushroom soup was incredible (I'm a huge mushroom fan!), the garlic knots were just okay, I would probably skip those next time, but the Mario Burger was juicy, flavorful, and definitely my favorite entrée. The Super Star Lemon Squash was refreshing, and I loved the addition of boba. For dessert, we shared the Block Tiramisu. I had heard mixed reviews beforehand, but we both really enjoyed it. It was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Overall, I would absolutely come back. Between the fun atmosphere, adorable theming, lightning-fast service, and surprisingly great food, this place completely exceeded my expectations!

    Absolute must-visit at Epic Universe! The decor alone is so cool and you can always just walk in and sit down without ordering anything. If you do order, the Super Mushroom Pizza Bowl was surprisingly very good for theme park food. And it's so so cute! The ? Block Tiramisu dessert wasn't as good but I'm glad I still got it for the photos. Super Mushroom Pizza Bowl 10/10 ? Block Tiramisu 7/10

    For what it is - quick service sit down meal at a theme park - it worked for me and my daughter. I had the piranha caprese salad, and it was surprisingly fresh and tasty. It was also adorable! My daughter had the garlic knots and enjoyed those as well. You order on the app, give your table number, and your food is delivered to you.

    The line was very long but went at a good speed. The kids were excited to go into the toadstool in Nitendo land. The hostess was great with trying to seat us a party of 8. There was a party of 6 in front of us and behind us. They communicated with the staff cleaning tables and got us a seat pretty quick. The food was good the kids enjoyed the presentation of the food. The only thing I didn't like is you have to go order your food but it was like that at a lot of restaurants. Check the place out enjoy

    Yum!

    I love the self service (great if you are tech savvy). The food came out very quickly (which I love because there was virtually no waiting time). It was very fresh and delicious. The presentation was everything! I rarely ever eat all of my food but this place left me eating every bite.

    The Mario Burger was significantly better than the kids' burger meal. The burger patty in the kids' meal was noticeably drier and lacked the toppings that made the Mario Burger so flavorful. The broccoli was unfortunately very undercooked and almost raw, but the corn was fresh, buttery, and delicious. The truffle fries were crispy and flavorful, and the garlic knots were excellent. Overall, the Mario Burger, garlic knots, and truffle fries were the standout items of the meal.

    We finally got to try Toadstool Café! We've been to Universal in CA and Japan, and we could never get a reservation at Toadstool Café, but we had no problem walking into the Orlando location. This place is super cute! The theme is on par with the décor and all the food. We tried the mushroom soup, the cheesy garlic knots, Bowser's fireball challenge and Yoshi mushroom alfredo. The mushroom soup blew my mind! I was expecting Campbell's cream of mushroom, but you could actually see the tons of chopped mushrooms. It arrived in a mushroom bowl, and topped with mushroom crackers. The knots were all mushroom shaped. They were soft and pillowy and came with a side of delicious marinara sauce to dip into. My daughter loved her fettucine alfredo, which came with ample amounts of grilled chicken breast slices, mushrooms and broccoli. It was a pretty large portion. Bowser's dish was surprisingly tasty as well! The meatball and sauce were both season well and packed a punch! The meatball was not dry at all and smothered in melted cheese. To end our meal, we ordered the Princess Peach's Cake. It was smothered in whipped cream with a few raspberries, strawberries and apples. The cake was moist, but nothing special. I would skip this next time. It was a great experience though, and I would definitely come back again!

    Toadstool Cafe is such a cute spot to cool down, chill out & grab a bite to eat. We had the Toadstool Garlic knots + Hamburger & Fries. Everything was fresh and tasted awesome! There's plenty of seating here with different options for whatever your group size is.

    We were very excited to try this place for my daughter's birthday but we got disappointed. Food was all overall great but the service was not . We ask few times if we can sing happy birthday and they all looked like they don't care at all . Serving kids all day long with those attitude is a big No. But

    Yoshi's Mushroom Alfredo
    Carlo G.

    I came into this restaurant with low expectations, but the food here was actually pretty good for theme park food! My family and I shared the following dishes: - Bowser's Fireball Challenge: Actually had a nice kick to it. A big, thick, and moist meatball that is good for sharing. The pastry puff was a bit dry. Would've been good with some pasta. - Luigi Chicken Sandwich: Standard chicken sandwich with fries. Wasn't dry which was nice. - Yoshi Mushroom Alfredo: Tastes like something that could be made at home, but not in a bad way. The pasta was creamy, full of meat, and the pasta was cooked nicely. - Mt. Beanpole Cake: Solid cake with different layers of flavors. It was moist and smooth. Couldn't really taste the matcha though. - Block Tiramisu: Cute presentation. The tiramisu itself was good. I do wish the biscuits were better though. I loved the theming of the restaurant and food. You need to order ahead on the app. Once you sit down at a table you're assigned to, you need to scan the QR code for your order to go through. The line to get seated wasn't too bad. At the time I went, it took about 25 minutes to get seated. Would recommend if you're looking for a fun sit down meal experience at Epic Universe!

I ordered a gluten-free cheeseburger as a lettuce wrap and specifically asked the employee to change his gloves before preparing my food. I watched the entire process and he never did. To make matters worse, they had run out of cheese slices and substituted cheese sauce without asking or informing me. I should have been informed and given the choice, not handed a burger with a substitution I never agreed to. Cheese sauce typically contains thickeners that may not be gluten-free, and I had no way of knowing whether it was safe for me to eat. When I raised my concerns with the manager, it was clear he had no understanding of cross-contamination. For anyone with dietary restrictions or food sensitivities, this location is not safe. I've been a Shake Shack customer for over 20 years and have never had an experience this bad. This location stood out for all the wrong reasons: poor food handling, no regard for customer safety, and a level of dirtiness I've never seen at any other location. Avoid!

We went with the Build Your Own Big Trio, choosing the 4 mini sliders, 2 Dave's Hot Mozz, and 6-piece Dave's Bites. I really like that you can choose a different heat level for each item, which makes this a great option if you're trying Dave's for the first time or sharing with someone who has a different spice tolerance. We tried mild and medium, and medium was honestly more flavorful than painfully spicy for us. I could definitely see us going hotter next time. The chicken itself was crispy, well-seasoned, juicy, and the Dave's Sauce is a MUST. The Hot Mozz was also a fun addition and made the sampler feel a little different from a standard chicken meal. The restaurant was very busy and packed, but it had a fun, energetic fast-casual atmosphere. The interior is bright and modern with Dave's signature graffiti-style artwork, an open counter/kitchen setup, and a pretty constant flow of people coming in from the outlets. Despite how busy it was, the staff was overall friendly. My biggest disappointment was that we were told the Big Trio came with fries, so I chose my three items based on that understanding. Unfortunately, there were no fries included. I also don't really understand the two plain slices of white bread that come with the meal--they weren't toasted or anything, just two slices of bread. Also, be aware that extras can add up. Additional sauces, pickles, etc. are charged separately, so it can start to feel a little nickel-and-dime-ish.

    I had never heard of this establishment before, so when I drove past it for the first time a few…read moreweeks ago, I was intrigued. I went inside to order and eat. The resturant inside was very clean, and the employees working behind the counter were very nonchalant. I ended up ordering their grilled chicken sandwich combo with their famous skinny fries. My mom got the Freddy's Original double combo with a Turtle milkshake and onion rings. The sandwich portion was big. The chicken was very juicy and tasted alright. The fries, however, were not seasoned. I had to get a salt and pepper packet to season them. At that point, they were very good, tasty, and crispy! Overall, the meal was okay. It was nothing spectacular but also nothing terrible either. As for my mom, she wasn't very impressed with her hamburger. She said the portion size was good, but she would describe the hamburger itself as "lacy." She said it was okay, but since it took us 27 minutes to get here, she said Culver's was better in quality and closer. She was underwhelmed by the onion rings. She said it was more of the fried breading and barely any onion inside. However, she did enjoy her milkshake, but struggled to suck it up through the straw. It was enjoyable to try a new establishment, but it was just a mid experience for me.

    I sadly just realized that I have never reviewed Freddy's. I have been here so often that I…read moreassumed that I already had! Time to fix that oversight. Now this review has nothing to do with that my father's name was Freddy and that my mother's favorite treat was frozen custard. But those little tidbits of information don't hurt. The warm feeling that I get when I eat frozen custard reminiscent of enjoying it on the boardwalk with my mom is renewed at Freddy's not because of the ambience of the restaurant, but because of that same delicious taste that my mind still seems to remember from long ago that I have not found anywhere else before this. But I digress. Freddy's may look like your typical fast food restaurant, but it is anything but. I already loved it for the burgers, the french fries with their wonderful sauce, and of course, the custard but now they have a salad as well. Really fresh greens with my favorite burger on top as a garnish. Low-carb great taste and totally filling. But not so filling as to not leave room for that wonderful custard. On this particular visit, I did run into an issue which I will not lower my rating because of, but want people aware of so it does not happen to them. If you have a coupon for a discounted custard, and they ring in any other item after that, it will restore the custard to the full price on their register. I did not notice that and paid the full price. The manager did give me a card for a free custard next visit so they certainly took responsibility but just wanted people aware to keep an eye on that. In defense of the staff, I don't think they noticed either that it had occurred, so I did not allow that to detract from my impression of five star service from their pleasant, friendly and attentive staff Of course the custard is a star. It comes in all sorts of different ways to serve it. I tend to usually be a purist indeed, as a soft serve, but sometimes their specials are so exciting that I cannot resist. I have never tasted any of them that I did not find awesome. Their steakburgers should not be left as an afterthought. These are not like other fast food burgers; the meat is actually very tasty and because there's not any "proprietary" seasonings on it I even order an extra one so that I can sit outside with my puppy and she can enjoy it. It is small enough to not be unhealthy for her and big enough to be a satisfying snack. Its fat content does not make her ill like the typical fast food burger would. I personally like the fries and find the sauces to be quite good. Prices are more than reasonable and they have hours that make them convenient whenever you're hungry or craving that custard fix. I am a Freddy's fan and wish they would open one closer to where I live in Miami.

This is the blandest chicken I have ever tasted in my life. If I found out it was marinated in water, I wouldn't be surprised. This recipe must've come from someone who was cooking desert chicken without a spice cabinet in a thousand mile radius. The only reason for anyone to be Raising Cane would be to get their money back. I wouldn't even come back on a Sunday. I'll wait for the Lord's chicken to be served on Monday.

    I don't usually go out of my way for fast food. But today? I did. I made the trip. I committed…read more Because when it comes to Raising Cane's, I'm usually all in. That's what made this one sting a little. Let me set the stage. I pull up to the Kissimmee location already knowing what I'm getting. This place has one job. Chicken. Not a massive menu. Not a bunch of distractions. Just chicken, fries, toast, slaw. Simple. Focused. The kind of setup where you expect consistency every single time. And then the tray hit the table. The chicken? Bland. Like no one introduced it to seasoning. And somehow also soggy. You know that moment when you bite in expecting that crispy crunch and instead you get... soft confusion? Yeah. That. It honestly felt like the oil wasn't hot enough. Which is kind of a big deal when frying is your entire identity. Now here's where it gets even more frustrating. Cane's sauce is usually the safety net. It can cover a lot of sins. Underseasoned chicken? Fine. Dip it, save it, move on. But it cannot fix texture. It cannot create crunch out of thin air. And when the crisp isn't there, the whole thing falls flat. The fries didn't do much to help the situation. Underdone. Under salted. Just kind of there. Taking up space. Not offensive, just disappointing. Like they almost made it to the finish line and then decided to clock out early. And here's the part that really gets me. When you only do one thing, you have to nail it. Every time. No excuses. No off days. No close enough. This isn't a diner with a 10-page menu. This is chicken. How do you forget to make it crispy? Now, credit where it's due. The Texas toast? Still elite. Buttery, golden, doing exactly what it's supposed to do. The coleslaw? Fresh, crisp, actually refreshing. And the staff here? Friendly, efficient, and the food came out quick. No complaints on the service side at all. So now I'm sitting there having this internal debate. Because I know what Raising Cane's can be. And this wasn't it. somewhere in the middle of that meal it hit me that I went out of my way for this and got a version that felt like it cut corners That's a tough pill to swallow in an area like Kissimmee where you've got options everywhere you turn. Great food is not hard to find around here. Which makes subpar chicken stand out even more. Three stars. And that feels generous based on the sides and the service carrying the weight. But let's be clear. I'm usually a five star guy when it comes to Raising Cane's. This just wasn't that day. And when your whole brand is built on doing one thing right, you don't get a pass when that one thing misses.

    Passing thru Orlando and the family wanted to try this location…read more This wasn't like the McDonald's I'm used to, and the place was super busy. There is apparently an upstairs area with an arcade and such. I did not make my way up there but my family did take a peek. We had the option of ordering at one of the several kiosks or at a small register in the corner. The place seemed to be divided into 3 food areas. One for regular McDonald's items, another for pizza & pasta, and another for desserts. This felt like chaos due to so many people waiting and ordering meals. The pizza station was a bit slower and my food did come out quite some time after my family's orders. The pasta was okay, not too bad. There could have been more flavor to the Alfredo as the flavors fell flat and started to taste the same after a bit. My family did enjoy the pizza. They appear to have a legit brick oven set up. Despite the heavy traffic, most of the staff were very accommodating and helpful. Even in the main dining area...As soon as guests would leave, the staff would clean each table and area quickly. It appears to be a pretty popular place. If you are in the area, I'd say it's worth a stop to explore, just have a bit of patience since it could be very busy!

    My review of Epic McD in Orlando, FL., the world's largest McDonald's at a whopping (sorry about…read morethat), STAGGERING 19,000 square feet. To begin, the ordering process is a very chaotic and disappointingly frustrating ordering process. I had to order at a kiosk which I simply loathe due to the amount of DNA and fecal matter that is undoubtedly all over those screens. Guys, don't say it ain't true; I've seen you come out of the stalls and make a beeline to the door only to be seen touching the kiosks. You're nasty. I tried going to the one open terminal, but nobody was present at the time. Back to the kiosks where humanity is challenged by the ever static McDonald's menu. At the end of the kiosk order, you are asked for a tent card number if you choose to eat in. Wouldn't you know it, all but two of the many kiosks did not have those present. So when you work through the kiosk order and get to the end, you are then under the gun to get a table tent card. I ordered a staple for me which is a Big Mac w/ fries and a Dr Pepper. But there is a brick oven pizza that is touted for this place so I searched for and found it on the menu! I put in an order for a pepperoni pizza with the Big Mac and fries. There, that in; order is placed and now.... no receipt because the printer attached to the fecal matter covered kiosk is out of paper. The hand sanitizer dispensers were empty too. All of the ones at the kiosk and in the dining area. All empty and no manager or employee to help. No hand cleaner, no receipt at the kiosks. I'm just going to trust the process and see what happens. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands only to find one of the soap dispensers not working. I use the one to the left of the sink and it dispensed a small amount of soap. Being diligent and not wanting someone's butt all over my hands, I eventually got enough soap to wash and push the door open with a sweep of my foot. I am back at my table where the tent card sat undisturbed. I was stunned given the amount of people there, so thank you everyone for being honest and nice! The Big Mac and fries arrived, a pleasant young lady said the pizza would be out shortly. I am stunned that not only did the Big Mac actually look well prepared, it tasted just like I remember as a kid. Great job Epic McD! The fries to me are always meh, no difference there and the Dr. Pepper was on point. I'm halfway through the Big Mac and the pizza has arrived. 15 minutes after ordering! Not bad considering how busy it is here and most pizzerias can't do that on a mildly busy day. Granted, this is a small to medium size'ish brick oven pizza, but this came out A LOT faster than I was expecting given my initial frustrations of trying to order. The pizza is actually really good, kind of a Neoploitan'esk to New York style. Way to go McDonald's, this is very good and your saving grace. It should be offered at more of your restaurants rather than some slices. But I will stop there. This pizza is definitely not something you'd expect from McD's. The rest of the place is, well it's simply huge inside. There is an area for desserts, obviously the pizza oven and large bar to sit at around it on the first floor, along with a huge dining room that wraps around the place. The 2nd level is a haven for kids with an arcade, a massive play area and more seating. Back to the first floor, workers were.walking product to tables, removing table tents, but the kiosks never seemed to be "full" with them. Employees seemed busy, but not too attentive. More care could be placed at the kiosks as that appeared to be the bottleneck in the restaurant. Once you get passed getting to a kiosk and ordering, the rest is nice that your food is delivered to the table. I just had a Big Mac,but it did not disappoint, the pizza was better though. I wouldn't say you've gotta go here, but if you loved McDonald's at some point it's worth a go. Note to management, pay more attention to the front of house and ordering area. One employee was mopping a soda spill near the soda fountain stations while customers were trying to fill their drinks. I wish people were smarter and did not frustrate her while she was trying to clean the area, but people are that stupid. Hats off to her for the care given to the soda station. I wish I could see her name tag, but great job and thank you for your care. Management, please make sure soap and sanitation stations are full and operational. Also, if you're not going to clean the screens, I recommend having wipes or hand sanitizer nearby. People are dirty and nasty. For a McDonald's that is the world's largest, you'd think there would be more care. If it was not for the food being good, especially the pizza, I would give it two stars.

It's…read morea tiny little stand where you can order food and there's a limited number of tables nearby. The staff seemed generally irritated and appeared to be arguing amongst themselves about something or other. The burgers themselves were decent, similar to a burger you might get at a cookout but nothing special. The curly fries were crispy and curly enough to our liking. If you're looking for a quick spot to grab a decent, more affordable burger than many of the other places in the park I suggest giving them a try.

    Wimpy's is located in Island of Adventure at Universal Orlando. You will need a park ticket in…read moreorder to eat here. This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. In all honesty, you would probably miss it, if you didn't know it existed. We visited here recently on a day my husband and I wanted to try some hidden items at Island of Adventure. This was a stop we had on our list. This stop is an outdoor quick service location. It is located in Toon Lagoon towards the back, it is sort of across from the entrance to Pluto's Barge water ride. It is only open for lunch and dinner and has an extremely limited menu. It is also all outside, there are no tables inside, but most of them have covering. The first thing I love about this restaurant is they serve curly fries!! I love curly fries, and I am pretty sure it is the only place I have seen curly fries at both Universal and Disney! As I said their menu is extremely limited. They only serve 1 burger, a veggie burger and chicken fingers. They also have drinks, 2 desserts and two types of beer. We went to try the Wellington Cheeseburger Platter: cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickle, onions, mayo ketchup. We asked for the onions and mayo ketchup on the side. This burger was fantastic and surprisingly so yummy! This was not your typical theme park burger, it was thick, it was juicy, it was good. The pickles were the longer thin pickles and thick cut slices of tomatoes. It was really good. It did have cheese, but I think next time, I will add extra cheese. The curly fries were crispy and seasoned a tad, normally how curly fries are. Overall, this is a great spot. I saw the chicken fingers and they were the crispy, very bready chicken tender, but they looked like they had a pretty good amount of chicken inside. My only reason for a 4 instead of 5 is there are 3 items on the menu and all the seating is outside and very limited. People were hovering around tables which was highly annoying. I would for sure come back here. To have a decent burger in a theme park is very rare and you will find it here. I would come back here and recommend it to others as well. I say check it out!
