Epic Universe Food and Drink General Discussion

[Jake S]

We probably should have a dedicated food of EU thread since there’s so much to try.

Good idea! General discussion for all the food (and drink) you can get your hands on at Epic Universe. Have at it!

To start off (from my review post)—

Oak & Star— beautiful space. I tried the two meat platter with brisket and pulled pork, burnt ends baked beans for side. Brian had same but with brisket and the sausage, mac and cheese for side, plus a side of the tropical slaw. All was delicious— 14 hour smoked brisket melts in your mouth. Pulled pork, beans, mac and cheese, slaw are all great. Meat comes unsauced with four types of sauce on the table. Great barbecue— as good as Four Rivers.

We tried the red velvet coffin cake at Das Stakehaus was great— like a premium Devil Dog in flavor.

Pizza Moon— fun interior with lots of great visuals. We split the Nonnarossa which was delicious and a decent size to share. All the food looked great there and people seemed to enjoy it. We also tried the moon phase cake— Meyer lemon olive oil cake with a limoncello sauce, fresh blackberries, and crunchy raspberry things. I loved it— perfect balance of sweet and tart, but Brian found the sauce too boozy (he’s not a big drinker).

Really impressed with all the food so far!

Burning Blade Tavern - tried the garlic pretzel. It almost killed me with the overload of flavor lol and that's a good thing. It was also a good size as I did not finish it all as I wanted to try other things. I also got one of the premix drinks. I won't do that again as it was like those HHN premix drinks and I felt ripped off.

Oak & Star - had the 2 meat plus side. Picked the brisket and ribs with the collard greens. Also had the sticky cake. The meats were good for theme park quality (i'm from the south so great BBQ isn't that hard to come by especially at a james beard nom join near me). The collards were safe. Could have used more flavor and the cornbread reminded me of sweet potato cornbread. The cake was pretty good I just wish it was a way to have it delayed until I was finish eating. I did get a drink from the Owl bar and it was strong! I had the old fashion and it was sooo good. I had to sip slow lol.
