    One of my favorite stops at universal. The leaky cauldron is a British pub that immerses you in the Harry pottery world we had curry, fish and chips, and the Guinness beef stew in a bread bowl. All came out piping hot and delish. Service is slow and minimal they bring your food out and leave you to your devices but it was pretty solid and inexpensive for the food quality and quantity.

    This was a wonderful place to run in and escape the heat while in Harry Potter land at Universal. You are led to your table by a hostess as there is a QR code on the table that you can order from. You input the table number in checkout and they will bring it to your table. It is VERY busy in here almost all of the time so not having to wait for a table will be a bonus if you can get it. The bangers and mash were reaaaaaallllyy good. We really enjoyed the shepherd's pie as well but my favorite will always go to the scotch egg. It came with a tiny beat salad and spicy mustard. Very good.

    There's something refreshing--almost rebellious--about a place that refuses to hand you a soda and instead leans all the way into its world. The Leaky Cauldron doesn't just serve food... it commits to the bit, and it pays off. I had a problem using my app to order. The issue seemed to be I was using more than one Giftcard therefore one Star was subtracted due to the Magic being evaporated (albeit magically). I had the bangers and mash, and it hit like something straight out of a proper kitchen--hearty, comforting, and honest. Not theme park food trying to impress you... just good food that feels like it was made by someone who actually cares. And then there's the warm butterbeer--rich, smooth, a little nostalgic, and exactly the kind of detail that turns a meal into an experience. It's not just about what's on the plate, it's about where you are while eating it. No sodas. No shortcuts. Just immersion done right. For a moment, you forget where you are--and that's the whole point.

    2026 March You can't visit the Leaky Cauldron & not grab a ButterBeer! This spot was well prepared for the crowd & kept the line moving very quickly. The staff was kind, professional, & well equipped for Harry Potter jokes in theme!

    Came here for a butter beer & coffee to go. You can skip the line if you are not dining in. If you're coming here for coffee, don't bother, they don't have any. The place is adorable and if you are a Harry Potter fan, you'd love it here. We didn't eat but the food smells amazing! I'd love to stay and eat next time. The butter beer was tasty if you are into sugary drinks.

    Can't believe it took me this long to review the Leaky Cauldron, but if you're a Harry Potter fan at all this place is a dream to see and sit in- it looks EXACTLY like in the movies it's crazy! They offer a unique set of food on the menu, all English inspired and food common in the HP world & books. Cottage Pie, Shepherds Pie, Fisherman's Pie, all the savory pie entrees. Bangers & Mash, Fish & Chips, scotch eggs and some other options. They actually even serve breakfast in the morning if you're at the parks early enough. But the thing I'll come back here for that hopefully they'll keep on the menu long term: butterbeer potted cream. Ooooh my word! It is incredibly, teeth-achingly sweet but boy is it a fantastic dessert. If you've never had potted cream, it's kind of a creamier, richer pudding type dessert, And then imagine it in butterbeer flavor and it's just wonderful. Here's the scene: hanging out in the Leaky Cauldron after you've just entered Diagonal Alley through the hidden brick wall entry, chilling with a butterbeer potted cream and watching Sirius Black's wanted poster scream indefinitely while young witches and wizards running all about. Couldn't ask for a better time.

    Fish & Chips (Kid's Entree)
    Melody B.

    A very popular restaurant located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios. The main restaurant is supposed to be similar to the famous pub/inn from the Harry Potter books and movies. The atmosphere was so realistic. I really felt like I was in the wizarding world. The menu stayed on theme featuring English pub style food. Keep in mind it is theme park pricing, but even I found it expensive. I wanted the fish & chips so I ordered the kid's entree version of it. It was still a good sized portion, came with grapes, and was half the cost of the adult sized version. The wait time is not fun - especially if you're hungry. My friend and I went a little after 12:45pm and the line was out the door. Once you get inside, there is another line with an employee seating people based on party size. It was about a 30 minute wait in line for our party of two. And when you sit, you're directed to order your food on the theme park app. From there, the food took about 10 minutes to come out. Employees are nice at least.

    Pumpkin juice apple cider and raspberry ice tea
    Chris T.

    Definitely don't expect too much from park food for the money, but pleasantly surprised the leaky cauldron was filling and not bad at all. $5 drinks, $20 plates . It was a filling lunch, in Harry Potter world. Servers were nice and the food came out quick. I enjoyed my razz ice tea being thirsty from all the line queues we were in all day. The fish was a good portion, not dry, could have been crispier and hotter though. The fries just needed a bit more seasoning but you have salt etc at your table order via QR code and the food comes out fast! Would be back to try the burgers perhaps next? Overall it hit the spot and had plenty of table seating!

    Bangers and mash
    James C.

    Probably on of the better places to eat in within the park. Love the theme within Harry Potter world based on the film. Decor is fitting and pretty easy going layout. Service is very nice and quick as they need to turn over tables quick to keep up with both lunch and dinner rush. I had a few of their fancy drinks and all of them are very interesting with a twist they may surprise you and your tastebuds. But I cannot get past the bangers and mash! Great flavor and bursting with juices. Mash add a nice complement balance of flavor to the plate but the veggies are always roasted to perfection! Swing by and give this place a try. Lunch time is normally quicker but dinner can be a longer wait.

    Butterbeer potted cream dessert and butterbeer ice cream
    Melody L.

    I had lunch here on Thursday. This is a quick service restaurant. You seat yourself, do the Universal mobile app order, tell them you have arrived, put your table number in and they bring it to your table for you. The service was fast within 10-15 minutes of putting in the order. We got the butterbeer, pumpkin juice, butterbeer potted cream and butterbeer ice cream. There were two vegetarian entree options: vegan curry and Shepherd's pasty pie. All three of us got the Shepherd's pasty pie entree that had meatless beef crumbles in it. It was filling, had vegetarian protein and delicious. It was needed for a vigorous day of walking around the theme park. The portion size was large too my sister almost couldn't finish hers. The butterbeer items were all very good. The atmosphere here is immersive. I loved it and will be back.

    Christina D.

    The ambiance is that of a cold, musty old tavern. The line is long, but it does go quickly. They tell you to order on the app while you're in line and then insert the table number after you're seated. I had a difficult time going back to the order once we were seated, so I had to ask an employee to find it for me. Once the table number was entered, it only took about 10 minutes for the food to arrive. The food was very good, we both had the fish and chips and we split the sticky toffee pudding, which was excellent. My friend really enjoyed the dairy-free Butterbeer. I tasted it and it was indeed yummy. I would definitely return if I'm back in the park.

    Mini pie sampler with side salad
    Ashley M.

    This system needs a lot of work! So they don't tell you to pick a table first as this is needed when you place your order. We put our stuff at the table, returned to the line and ordered and our stuff was gone from the table when we got back ‍ staff also seemed very annoyed that we were even there ordering; not to mention there was only one register open and they were quite slow. When we finally did get our food and drinks, they tried bringing us double drinks - not realizing they gave them to us at the counter and seemed annoyed at us because of their system. We did try the mini pie sampler which came with a cottage pie and fisherman's pie with a side salad. Everything was cooked and presented well. My partner liked the cottage pie better which was filled with meat, cheese and potatoes. While I liked the fisherman's with whole shrimps and tender fish (added malt vinegar to make it better). As we were leaving we did hear other people talking about ordering in the app. Dave yourself hassle and do that instead!

    Fish & Chips ($19.99) - I appreciated how thick the fish AND chips were, making this a filling meal. The batter could've been crispier and the fish and tartar sauce could've had more flavor though.

    Which park Leaky Cauldron in? Islands of Adventure or Classic Universal (no idea what the name of the other one is...?)?

    Leaky Cauldron is in Diagon Alley, which is on the Universal Studios side. Also, if you're interested, Hogsmeade, on the Islands of Adventure side, has The Three Broomsticks.

    Can someone tell me what time the Leaky Cauldron stops selling breakfast?

    Pretty sure 10:30.

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink.

I just happened to stop in, and after coming back again much later, I'm happy to say the food and service are still just as impressive as I remembered. The whole ordering system is really efficient. You can order directly through the bartender or server, and they'll give you a table number afterward. Finding a table can be a little tricky when it's busy, but don't be shy about asking if you notice someone getting ready to leave. The space is dimly lit, relaxing, and has plenty of seating, so it's a great place to hang out and enjoy a few drinks. The drinks are definitely a highlight for me. I always tell the bartenders what kind of flavor profile I'm in the mood for and let them recommend something, and they've hit the mark every single time. They're great at understanding what you're looking for, even when you don't know exactly what you want. Food-wise, the skewers are a must. They have a really nice char on the outside, and the dipping sauce adds even more flavor. The crab fried rice is another favorite--the portion is generous for the price, and it's flavorful enough to stand on its own or share with the table. What I really appreciate is that the quality has stayed consistent between visits. Great food, creative drinks, efficient service, and a relaxed atmosphere make this a place I'll definitely continue coming back to.

I arrived around 430 and waited till they opened at 5. There were several others as well, waiting for the doors to open. Our party of five found one of this tables at the end which is shaped like a large D letter, weird sitting but the only other better seats were outside and I am not breathing in exhaust fumes of Mills as we eat. There is a small sheet of paper with the food items, no prices listed and you need to open a tab at the bar to place your orders. You also need to get your drinks from the bar but they do serve you the tapas style food. It's all small items, three or four smallish items per plate and in varying prices, not listed anywhere but online on their site. I ordered the crab and corn croquetas ($9.5), crab rice ($11), mushrooms in soy sauce ($7), beef with chimichurri ($7.5) and a soda ($3.5). The crab and corn croquetas are a good sized portion, coming in three balls with a tender inside full of tasty corn pieces and crab. The sauce they come with also delivers on making them stand out. The crab rice was a good sized scoop and you could taste the freshness of it all, use the small slice of lemon to give it a tiny extra kick. The mushrooms in soy sauce were absolutely rocking on the taste buds with the umami really strong but so tasty. I ate half of the plate and brought the rest for snacking on tomorrow. Yay The beef with chimichurri was about 3 ounces worth of beef and sliced into four really small bites. A bit pricey for what you're given. My friend ordered the pork belly which was the same size and had a lovely taste to it. She also ordered the gyoza which came with five small pieces and those were tasty. The servers were super quick in bringing out the plates and due to the smallish sized table, it got overwhelming a bit quickly and we had to shuffle stuff around but since the meals are smallish, you do eat pretty quickly too. You have to be there early or else the seating is a roll of the dice, as soon as we began to leave, someone scooped in to grab the table. One poor guy was with his lady at the bar, she was seated but he didn't have one for him so he was standing beside her. The parking is shared with the other restaurant beside it and there are signs about paying parking... but I think that's only for certain hours?

I was sat quickly since it was just me and i immediately ordered my pizza and cocktail. My server was super sweet and engaging and ensure I was well attended too. I ordered another meal to go and it was a hit for a late night snack ! 10/10
