    Das burger
    Janecia H.

    If there's lines everywhere good and you need a quick bite it will suffice. The ambiance is the major selling point here. Food is edible but nothing to write home about.

    The theme here is absolutely on point. It's exactly what you'd want from a vampire-themed tavern-dark, moody, and packed with cool details like staked vampires and classic monster portraits on the walls. The food, however, was a bit of a "mixed bag." The Carved Staked Steak and the Monocane drink (which is a total must-order!) were delicious and lived up to the hype. But the rest felt a little "off." The "Blood" Orange Chicken Sandwich and the chicken strips just didn't hit the mark for me. Also, the Black Bun looks incredible for photos, but the taste and texture didn't quite hold up. One thing to note: they have a strict no-takeout policy here-you have to finish your meal in the catacombs! If the chicken was as good as the steak, this would be 5 stars. For now, I'd say go for the ambiance and the steak, but maybe skip the poultry!

    Absolutely horrible. First off I hate that you have to order on the app and you cannot alter the food unless on there at all. The prices here are lower than most other options at the park but still horrible food. Also nowhere on the menu does it inform you of the food coloring in the bread and buns to dye them black. This was just gross. I ordered their burger and ate less than half as it was dry, overcooked, and flavorless. The sauce and jalapeños did not help and the one measly piece of sautéed onion was bland. The fries were edible but needed to be cooked longer. The orange chicken sandwich was gross as the sauce was yet again colored to be bright red and tasted like a poor sweet and sour sauce imitation. The chicken was overcooked and mostly breading. $50 lunch that was inedible and you cannot even complain as there is no staff once you have your food.

    Okay steak--was made well done so it was chewy. Good mashed potato and soft carrots. Nice location to sit down and eat. Super cool interior--it's like walking in Mordor! nice staff

    Of course with this place being in Dark Universe, it gave that eerie feeling. It seems like every 10 or 15 mins, the lights flicker red. Ordered from the universal app, including beer. When the person brings the beer to the table, that's when they check the ID. My blood orange chicken sandwich came out in a good timely manner and was hot. What fully put things together is the blood orange sauce, its so good! They put the sauce on the sandwhich and included an extra ramekin of it. I was nervous about the black bun, but it didn't show on my teeth or anything. Yet, just a truthful warning, the #2 toilet "aftermath" might show a teal color.

    Love the theme of the restaurant. Quick service for ordering and receiving the food. Steak was delicious, along with its accompaniments! I did not care for the cool drink. I normally like sweet drinks, but it was a tad sugary and sweet for me. I'm sure kids love it though. It was cool to keep the beaker though!

    Chicken wings
    Erica F.

    The place has a great vibe for the horror lovers The ordering is easy, though the app and just wait for the food and drinks, great concept. The service is real nice and friendly. The food is pretty spicy, so I had to ask for a few condiments to dial down the spice. But overall the burger was pretty good and the wings weee delicious. The corn bread also had jalapeños but it was pretty tasty overall. The prices are as expected for a theme park restaurant and so is the serving size

    This place has an awesome aesthetic that might scare some children lol. I only had the brain desert and it was DELICIOUS. It's a creamy panna cotta with a raspberry sauce. I think it has some pop rocks in there cause I had a few pops in my mouth. Truly recommend you give this a try. Since this place wasn't as busy as Mario world, it was a nice place to get away from the crowds and rest while having a nice bite in some cold AC.

    Oh man, Universal has created an entire experience with this quick service Dark Universe restaurant. I absolutely loved Das Stakehaus. It was a great refuge away from the hot sun. Tucked away in Darkmoor, I was thoroughly impressed by the amount of work and detail that went into this place. The staff was SO friendly (ESPECIALLY Team Member Gabo, who went above and beyond to make my birthday feel special by giving me a ton of fun facts about the restaurant). You order via Mobile App; but those, like me, with a leftover Universal Mardi Gras gift card can opt for in-person ordering at the bar/station you pass by as you're making your way into the main dining room. You just need a table number of where you're sitting to order in-person. The atmosphere is spooky and eerie, in the best kind of way. This was any Halloween Horror Nights fan's dream come true. There are sinister paintings covering nearly every wall, and lots of ghouls hanging around along with skull chandeliers. The chairs are heavy to move around but VERY comfortable. It was nice and chilly in there, which was so nice after a day of walking around Epic with very little shade anywhere. THE GOODS: 1) Das Burger ($17.99 at the time)- It is a "Seared Angus burger with tomato pepper chutney, white cheddar cheese, grilled onions, cherry peppers, and bacon on a black bun with fries." Dang, that was tasty with a KICK! I really enjoyed this burger. The black bun is SO fun (and yes, the rumors are true about how the dye on the bun has an interesting effect on your... digestive results)... The burger had a surprisingly delicious sear on it! I usually don't go for burgers in theme parks because I've had less than stellar experiences with theme park burgers (as they're typically flavorless with zero sear), but I'd go back to Das Stakehaus for this! The toppings are a pretty delightful combination- different, in a good way. The potato wedges were ooookay. My mom really liked them. I thought they were a bit on the soft side for my liking. I prefer them to be a bit crispier. Overall, it was a decent-sized burger, and nice size to share (if you're like me and are interested in hitting multiple foodie spots to try out as many places as possible at Epic). I'd DEFINITELY recommend Das Stakehaus to check out and grab a burger! There were also some items that my buddy Gabo recommended, like the Bird on a Stake (chicken skewer with chimmichurri). I'll have to try it next time I'm at Epic!

    Food was excellent! I had the wings and they were perfectly crispy and the cornbread skull was delicious. We had some confusion with the mobile app. You have to order then go the next step to say you have arrived. Pretty silly when you are already sitting at the table and had to scan QR code to order. We waited an unnecessary 30 minutes for food because we didn't realize we had to take another step for them to prepare the food. More instructions in the restaurant somewhere would be nice. Especially since mobile order was the only option.

    Wings!

    We came here a week or so ago and was pleasantly surprised by the decor! Everything from the moment you walk in (deathly cold atmosphere) to the structures to the color of the food and silverware was nicely done! Really! Universal spent their time on thier eateries and it shows! I ordered the wings and the wings were large, crispy and tasteful. The coleslaw and skeleton head cornbread was also on point! I did get pretty cold while in there which is why I minus one star. I felt that after I ate I wanted to get out of there because of the cold. My sons had the burgers which came with a black bun which they both stated was not that great but was "just a burger." I would give this place a solid 4 though. Great job!

    The theming inside the stakehaus is pretty cool, even the details in the plating, naming, and overall menu. However, the food is mostly okay overall, and after eating at other spots in Epic Universe, I can easily say this one isn't the best. The fried chicken was pretty dull and the bread was rock solid - not really a great first impression. The skewered chicken was better, but mostly dry, saved only by the sauce that was on the plate. The sides were fine, though, nothing super special, but made the meal more tolerable with the high price. I tried other spots around the park and this one doesn't live up to the others, so unless you're dying for some chicken, find something more fun!

    Pork dinner
    Michael S.

    Went to dinner here last night after a long day of theme parking. Theme park food is not usually associated with "quality" or "flavor" but we were blown away by Das Stakehaus. We arrived only a few minutes before they closed the door and stopped letting people in, and instead of annoyance or irritation, we were met with smiles and a door held open welcoming us. The whole restaurant is extremely immersive in the theme of the area. The tables were dark wood with high backed chairs topped with bats. There were vampires stakes to the wall and skulls on the chandeliers. The napkins were red cloth and the cutlery was black (and it was real cutlery, not plastic). The food was extremely reasonably priced for the quality. The portions were small by some standards, but I was very satisfied and did not leave hungry. My pork was cooked flawlessly and melted in my mouth and the potatoes were flavorful enough that gravy was not needed. There are a lot of options for dining at Epic, but for a good sit down dinner this is a great choice!

    Inside; great theming!

We started off by sharing a Caesar salad and Parmesan truffle fries. We also were served bread service with a side of garlic oil. The caesar salad was served with a Parmesan pita crisp, and the fries were very crunchy and delicious. We split two entrees: the salmon and the vegan stuffed shells. The stuffed shells were fairly small, with only 4 in the entree, but was nonetheless flavorful and delicious. I almost forgot it was vegan! The salmon was a large cut and served over a creamy risotto and was my favorite of the evening. It was delicious. We ordered the lava cake for dessert and Bojan went the extra mile by placing a birthday candle inside of it and ended up providing the dessert on the house! This was so special and we appreciated it so much.

I must say I was not a fan at all and I cannot be upset with anyone but myself I had no business ordering that definitely wasn't good at all... I should have just either stuck to a ribeye or strip or a piece of salmon and caled it a night or had a liquid dinner... But my husband said my meal looked good but I wasn't impressed at all so that was totally my fault. However my husband enjoyed his meal he was super duper happy with it. The service was cool it wasn't busy at all during this time during early September nevertheless a great atmosphere although it was quiet when we went but I'm sure it can liven up. The dress code was pretty much relaxed. Plenty of parking even though we did catch a Uber ride from our stay at the Sheraton Vistana so if you're in the mood for something tasty check out the reviews check out the pictures and see if it's somewhere you might like to try.

It's almost like my body immediately goes into shutdown mode afterwards. I feel heavy, exhausted and like I've instantly ballooned even if the portions themselves aren't massive. For the longest time I honestly thought it was simply the richness of the food itself but now I realize it's because my digestion just can't process heavier comfort foods the same way anymore. Suddenly... it all makes sense. The food itself here is VERY good. Properly seasoned, well prepared, beautifully presented... absolutely no complaints there whatsoever. I simply have to become more mindful and strategic now with my menu selections no matter WHERE I dine. I chose the Creekstone Farm's NY Strip with the fabulous bone marrow which I KNOW is supposed to be incredibly nutrient rich and good for you... but honestly... it just about put me under afterwards. This dinner happened thanks to Ronnald M. and his sister Teris and it was our pre-opera dinner outing before seeing the fabulous Merry Widow at the Dr. Phillips Center. The Monroe is honestly a very good pre-concert restaurant choice because of both the atmosphere and location... I'm just personally learning that this new GLP1 reality means I can't approach menus the way I used to anymore.

    We moved from Chicago to Orlando two years ago and chose the location of our home partly based on…read morethe proximity to Eddie V's because we enjoyed our visits there so much. We continue to visit Eddie V's on a weekly basis and can't say enough about this place and the staff. We love to sit at the bar, and we feel like family with the entire team. The management team also makes us feel like family. The name of the restaurant says it is a seafood restaurant, which it is, and they do seafood wonderfully. But do not forget to try the steak. They have filet, bone in strip, and bone in ribeye that are better than other high end steakhouses in the country. We do not have a single hesitation in recommending this place. If you go to the Orlando location, have a drink at the bar and you won't regret it. Special shoutout to bartender Chanti who provides such a welcoming environment that keeps us coming back, we love you! The management team is great too. Rachel, Justin and Gary all have taken the time to get to know us personally and that really keeps us wanting to come back frequently.

    My husband LOVES Brazilian steak so we went to Adega Gaucha on South Orange Blossom to celebrate…read morehis birthday. We were ushered in almost immediately by the host who was very gracious and friendly. The place is very clean and well maintained with classy decor. We appreciated that they have eye friendly, warm yellow lighting for the dining area at evening and not the bright white lights that feel somewhat disorienting. We tried the Tuna tartare for appetizer, the full churrascaria experience for the husband, the fish of the day with lemon butter sauce for me, a classic old fashioned and a Brazilian old fashioned. Everything that was served to us was absolutely delicious! The husband particularly LOVED the flank steak. He said he's never had flank steak so tender and juicy. The sides offered with the churrascaria experience were also to his liking. Especially the brussel sprouts topped with maple syrup. The fish of the day was very well prepared as well. The seasoning was on point. The fish was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. The tuna tartare was very different from what we're used to but was really good with the avocado and arugula it was served with. The old fashioned were very nicely prepared too. The Brazilian old fashioned deserves a special mention here. It takes Cachaça instead of the usual bourbon and the flavors were so good, so delectable that we'd probably go back for more of just that. LOL! All in all, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely return here as well as recommend the place.

    We visited Adega Gaúcha on a Saturday night with a large group of nine, and the restaurant is…read moredefinitely well suited for big parties. The space is very broad and we felt quite comfortable at our table. ​Regarding the food, everything was good. Half of our group went with the Full Rodizio Experience, while others ordered from the A La Carte menu, and everyone was satisfied with the quality of the meats and dishes. ​However, the overall experience felt a bit disorganized. While our server was friendly, the service was not as proactive as you would expect from a high end steakhouse. We had to constantly ask for water refills and specifically request to have the table cleared and cleaned, as it wasn't being done automatically. ​It's a beautiful spot with great potential and delicious food, but the attention to detail and service flow definitely need some refinement to match the quality of the kitchen. A solid choice for groups, but be prepared to be more vocal with the staff regarding your needs.
