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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The immersion is definitely here in the restaurant from the costumes on the employees to the way the restaurant is decorated, you'll feel like you're eating as a wizard. Some of the QR codes on the table do not work so be aware of that when ordering. Make sure you have the app installed on your phone just in case. The Scotch egg wasn't very flavorful. It's one of those things that you can try once and you don't need again. The sausage roll had a surprising amount of sausage in it. It went really well with the Dijon mustard from the Scotch egg plate. I'm not a fan of spicy you mustard. I do wish there was an option that you could pick the kind of mustard that came with the sausage roll. Since we came for breakfast there wasn't much of a wait so we were able to sit ourselves. The food did take a little longer to get to us but it was still hot so I wasn't upset. I prefer the food not to be pre-made and cold when it arrives at the table. Don't forget to take advantage of your annual pass holder discount while dining here! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Fun place for any meal or snack or just a butter beer. The way they stick to branding is great - from the cast to the decor. The food is basically English pub style and pretty solid. I can recommend the beef, lamb and Guiness stew. Like the other food options, you order from the QR code on your table and a friendly cast member brings your food. It was a fun place for lunch and to get out of the crowds. read more

The mobile order is the most misleading and useless option ever. You can order on the app, but you then have to wait in line with everyone else and the food cannot be gotten from a mobile order window-- once seated, only then will they make your food. Just like anyone else that didn't order until inside. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Made a stop with the family and it was all that I wanted it to be. To avoid the crowds we had planned this to be our dinner and it really worked out. The crowds seemed to thin in the evening and around 7pm the place was practically empty compared to what it was at lunchtime. Mobile ordered and it was brought to the table. The food is quite good. The mini pies is what I chose and it was ok. Not bad but not as good as I had hoped. The potatoes weren't as good as I had hoped and they kind of made it a mid experience. My son had the Guinness stew and he was blown away. Everything is pretty good and the Butter beer is quite tasty. The inside is decorated well and for a quick service eatery it still has that magic feel you want it to. read more

I love when theme park restaurants aren't afraid to step outside the norm and give us dishes that truly match the theme. The best thing on the menu hands down is the vegetarian pie. I was so surprised it used faux meat because it was the most flavorable. My entire family ordered different dishes, and everyone agrees the veg pie was the most flavorable and tasted like a delicious home cooked meal. The butterbeer clotted cream was a close second. I could eat that all the time if I could handle sugar. The scotch egg wasn't dry, and the other dishes were all classic and well done. They also offer some fun drinks only available at their location. The lemonade came with entire lemons in it and was so refreshing and tart, not sugary at all. I am always so impressed when I eat there. The seating varies. You wait to be seated if it's busy, so you are then assigned to sit with other guests in long tables like the ones seen in the Hogwarts main hall, or you might get individual tables. The long benches are actually very comfortable and they give you plenty of room to fit yourself and your food (plus any merchandise you might have) between you and the next guests. You order using the mobile app while in line waiting or while at the table. Once you're sat, there is a barcode with the table place you are at and you will then submit your mobile order with that table number. There's cute decorations and very neat wooden accents on the ceiling with fun animals. Beautiful and delicious. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I am so on the fence here. I want to give a better rating simply because they offer a decent vegan option. Yay. Legit. The vegan curry is not bad. What's bad? The employees yelling at everyone. It's not appropriate. It doesn't seem to fit the character of the theme, like I don't think it is a gimmick. I think they are just grumpy telling people to follow unknown rules over and over. Maybe some signage explaining to customers what to do would be helpful. Or one of those moving posters speaking to us explaining the rules here. Either way, better than rude, exasperated staff. My family liked their food ok though for a theme park. We had vegan curry, cottage pie, Guinness stew, and chicken hunt. read more

OMG, I'll be so honest right now... I had no expectations for Leaky Cauldron & thought it was going to be like your typical sorta-lame amusement park food BUT NO! This was pretty solid for park food. We each got fish + chips & a different drink to try. For drinks, we did pumpkin juice, apple cider, & raspberry iced tea! My favorite of the three was the raspberry iced tea. The food came out pretty quick... I would say within minutes after ordering via app. Now, don't expect the food to be piping hot or anything because I'm almost certain everything has already been made ahead of time and just reheated. Dining here is really for the experience but so mean I didn't think the food we ordered was bad. I quite enjoyed the fish and chips and I think the only thing that I think could've made it better was if the fish was crispier. Other than that, it was a decent + filling lunch. Prices are okay. Exactly what you'd expect at a park. Fish + chips were ~$19-20 & drinks were essentially $5. Overall $70 for 3 fish and chips and 3 drinks. read more

I came back to Universal after a couple years of not going and I knew I had to get lunch at Leaky Cauldron! Their fish and chips is the best! You can order with a barcode and they bring the food to your table. The fish and chips is hot and fresh. It comes with a zesty tartar sauce. They even offered me more without me asking. Service was amazing. The Harry Potter atmosphere is incredible. This is my favorite food in the park! read more

stopped by at the leaky cauldron for lunch during our visit to Universal. They seated us quickly. You place the order on the app by scanning your table QR code and then your things get brought out to you. The wait wasnt too long. I tried the lemonade, which was really delicious as well as the butter beer for drinks. For food I had the meat and vegetable stew in the bread bowl. It came with a side salad, which was nice because the bread bowl with the meat was not a lot of food. I found myself still a but hungry, so you might need to order another side to fill you. The inside is very cute and harry potter themed, obviously! It was charming and I think kids would really like the vibe there if theyre big hp fans. read more

My parents dined here for both sweet treats and for breakfast one morning. The breakfast was average for theme park dining, and likely try dining elsewhere though in Universal Orlando there aren't really any good breakfast spots for what we saw in our six days there. The service was friendly and the layout is themed well. Overall, I would skip for a meal but great for a snack or sweet treat. read more

I am so sorry to the Harry Potter fans but I was not really a big fan of the leaky cauldron. It was alright but kind of basic. I don't really prefer London food and, while fish and chips is a staple, it's just really not my favorite staple. The remainder of the food is kinda off limits for me since I don't eat pork and try not to have that much red meat. Food is just alright but most people come here for the vibes (of course, it's in a theme park!) but the decor was lovely. Also - hot butterbeer is always a plus! read more

Other than the positioned location of this restaurant, there was nothing good about the food experience here. Very disappointed The ambiance is ok ok, and the tables are too close and seems super crowded at the peak times. Ppl can barely manage to sit/leave without bumping into the other tables. The place charges $17 for a grilled chicken sandwich, which had the topper of the tomato making everything slip out. The cook just puts the ingredients together and sends the tray out to serve. The servers have no clue about anything other than bringing the trays out to the tables, and most of the time are super confused which table!!! They said that fish and chips are popular dish, turns out the fish fillets were over battered making it a fried doughy blop of protein. No flavor whatsoever! Would recommend skipping it for dining, rather the other vendors parked outside had so much good food being served promptly. read more

For theme park food, this is solid. You're gonna pay theme park prices, but the food itself was really tasty. I got the Guiness stew and my husband got the Shepherds pie. We also got a banger and scotch eggs to try. We also both got the specialty non-alcoholic drinks. The way this works is you wait in line to be sat at a table, and then once you are at the table, you order from a QR code. This wasn't my favorite process because it's really hard to customize or ask questions about the order before you do this. If there was a way to order with an actual server, it wasn't very clear. When we were sat, I initially wasn't crazy about the table that they put us in (the seats did not have backs). But they were able to change our table location that did have seats with backs, so that was nice. Overall this is a solid place for food, especially if you want to stay in the Harry Potter confines. There's a nice variety as long as you don't mind British fare. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. It's located in the most magical place on earth for me. I am obsessed with their fish and chips. If you haven't had them- you must!

I know they serve breakfast here which I haven't tried yet but definitely need to soon! read more

I got the fish and chips, and honestly, they were pretty great--especially considering the price for the amount of food you get, which is a nice surprise for Disney! There were three pieces of fish, a decent portion, though they were a bit on the oily side. Nothing too special, but filling and satisfying. Service was pretty fast, which is always a plus. But the real highlight? The atmosphere! The inside is decorated so well--it literally feels like you've stepped into Hogwarts. If you're a Harry Potter fan, it's definitely worth visiting for the immersive experience alone. read more

We had lunch at the Leaky Cauldron. The food, drink, and service were good. This is the main restaurant at Diagon Alley, part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, located at Universal Studios Florida. My wife liked Three Broomsticks, the main restaurant at Hogsmeade at Universal Islands of Adventure, better because of the better service. However, she enjoyed both restaurants. I thought the Leaky Cauldron was fine. I had a good time. According to the Harry Potter Wiki, the "Leaky Cauldron was a popular wizarding pub and inn located in London. It was the entrance to Diagon Alley and, indirectly, Knockturn Alley." It's cool how Universal made this real-life Leaky Cauldron true to the books, building it in Diagon Alley next to Knockturn Alley. https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Leaky_Cauldron We lucked out and visited the Leaky Cauldron before a rush of people came. This was on an ordinary Monday around 2:30pm. Right after us, a sizable line quickly built up. The dining room reminded me of my college dining hall, Brittain Dining Hall at Georgia Tech, because of its classic European architecture and communal dining atmosphere. It really does feel like an old British pub. This is a large, spacious restaurant. It's popular and almost every seat was taken during our visit. Our party of five was able to get a private table. The cuisine is British (e.g., fish and chips, bangers and mash, ploughman's lunch). Here's what my wife and I tried: Beverages * Butterbeer ($8.99) - a non-alcoholic sweet drink reminiscent of shortbread and butterscotch; served in a souvenir cup * Hot Butterbeer ($8.99) Entrees * Mini Pie Combination ($18.99) - mini cottage pie and mini fisherman's pie served with garden salad * Scotch Eggs ($13.99) - hard-boiled eggs wrapped in pork sausage, dusted with bread crumbs and fried; served warm with apple beet salad and mustard sauce Dessert * Sticky Toffee Pudding ($8.49) I loved the Butterbeers, both cold (default) and hot. I prefer the cold Butterbeers. They taste more like traditional soda with ice; however, they come with a thick, creamy top. To me, Butterbeer is like an extra-rich cream soda. The hot version is interesting and worth trying. It's not carbonated, but has the same sweet, yummy flavor and rich, creamy texture and mouthfeel. I ended up having two cold Butterbeers and one hot Butterbeer in the same afternoon. I was sick of Butterbeer after the third one. The Mini Pie Combination is good to get because you get to try two of the Leaky Cauldron's pies. The cottage pie consists of beef and vegetables baked in a potato crust. The fisherman's pie consists of salmon, shrimp, and cod baked in a potato crust. Of the pie combo, I only tried the cottage pie and it was tasty and savory. I would happily eat a whole one ($17.99). The Scotch Eggs hit the spot. The entree came with two eggs, each split in half. The various accompanying salads were fresh. The Sticky Toffee was delicious. It was like Harry Potter's version of a Cinnabon cinnamon roll. Yum. Service was good. All around, I thought the staff was nice and did a good job considering the circumstances. They were constantly busy and stressed to varying degrees. One of our party members has Celiac disease and another has a peanut allergy. One of the Leaky Cauldron chefs came to our table to clarify our orders, sensitive to the disease and allergy. We appreciated that. For example, he made sure to prepare our friend's Specialty Chicken Sandwich ($15.99) with a gluten-free bun. Admittedly, if this was a standalone restaurant and pub that wasn't associated with Harry Potter, I'd probably rate it only three stars (OK). However, the theming is fun and novel and the Butterbeers are unique and terrific, so four stars. read more

Fantastic food and quick service. This time around I was worried because the line to get in was crazy but wow did the hustle. The fish and chips are my FAV! Even my kids love their fish and chips. We tried the Otter's Fizzy Orange Juice and the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Both were amazing! The orange juice was refreshing and the cinnamon added an amazing touch to it. The sticky toffee pudding was a little lighter but still really good. We love this place. read more

I'm SO glad I found this place. All I wanted was a butterbeer during HHN. First of all, Diagon Alley is very easy to miss. There's a facade of a Harry Potter area that looks like just a facade-it's not. Go through and you'll find the whole area. When you first get in, there's a butterbeer stand that had probably 30 people in line. I checked the universal app and found the Leaky Cauldron. I walked maybe two more minutes and there was nobody in line. I was able to get my frozen butterbeer without wasting time in line. If you haven't had frozen butterbeer, it's heaven. Do yourself a favor and try it next time. It's a must every time I go to universal. The entire Diagon Alley area is mind-blowingly well-done. It feels like you were dropped right in the middle of the movies. read more

I still can't get over the fact that one of the best fish & chips I've ever had came from Universal Studios. Maybe it was just theme park euphoria but the food was great and the service was fast.

It can get packed in there and you will be side by side with other groups but, you're not there to linger - fuel up and enjoy the rest of your trip! read more

I ventured into this enchanted eatery and indulged in the Scotch Eggs, Fisherman's Pie, and Shepherd's Pasty Pie--washed down with a goblet of Otter's Fizzy Orange Juice. The fare was, by all accounts, quite delightful, though as is the nature of theme park cuisine, one cannot help but wonder if a skilled Hogwarts house-elf might have done it better. The atmosphere was positively magical--it truly felt as if we had stepped into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Out of all the restaurants in Universal, I daresay this one stands above the rest. A most charming dining experience indeed. However, I must confess... whether due to some mischievous hex or merely my own treacherous digestive system, the aftermath was far from magical. The Scotch Eggs, in particular, left me in such a gaseous state that, whilst perusing the gift shop, an unsuspecting patron believed some poor soul had suffered a most tragic accident in the loo. All in all, a charming experience--though I dare say, best approached with a strong stomach and perhaps a well-placed Bubble-Head Charm. read more

The draw of this restaurant, obviously, is for fans of Harry Potter. The interior decor and menu felt authentic to the book series. I ordered the scotch eggs, which were hard-boiled eggs wrapped in pork sausage, dusted with bread crumbs and fried. They were served with apple beet salad and mustard sauce. The eggs had a great texture and I was pleasantly surprised at the sweet and tart apple beet salad. I also ordered a butter beer because it felt only right. The portion size was adequate for the price, which was a little high but this is Universal, where they would charge you for air if they could get away with it. The food was prepared quickly and the servers were friendly. It was a good experience to eat at The Leaky Cauldron but nothing I feel I would need to do again. read more
