    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Bangers and mash

    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.

    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.

    Mini pie sampler with side salad

    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!

    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.

    Left to right: pumpkin juice, apple cider, & raspberry iced tea
    Lizzie Y.

    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.

    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!

    Lemonade
    Melissa M.

    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.

    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.

    What an absolute gem!…read more We do Fun Food Friday as a family every week and tonight we decided to check out some Irish Cuisine. Harp & Celt may lack in the parking lot aspect, but it MORE than makes up for it in flavor, service, and atmosphere! There are two sides to H&C, one a bit more of a lively bar scene, and the other a more laid back pub vibe. Both have great seating and a fully stocked bar with access to some of the most delicious food around. We started with the pretzel sticks and fries with gravy and they both came out super fast and the gravy is beyond words good! One warning, it is piping hot so be careful! Haha The shepherd's pie has a fantastic mince with creamy and crispy topped mashed potatoes that feels like a warm hug in your stomach. The fish and chips are light, excellently crispy, and ridiculously fresh tasting. Add a little malt vinegar for a little zing and you've got a brilliant meal! Tack on a cold Manger's cider from the bar and you could be in any pub in Ireland. When there is a soccer game happening they've got the televisions dialed right in so you don't miss a minute of action, and you can even challenge your friends to a game of darts if you've got the skill!

It's fun to check them out any time of day because they take soccer games VERY SERIOUSLY!! There'll be a rowdy screaming bunch on the other side of the bar. The Harp is more subdued but still has lots of fans watching the soccer games. (Tip: Don't share what team you're rooting for, even in jest, because you might trigger a rabid fan.) The beer is good, a selection is on tap, & I found a $4 cold Yuengling glass bottle recently during happy hour. They have traditional Irish beers also & food. I have enjoyed their Irish fry, although sometimes they might run out of an item & will offer a substitution. The food is good so get there early. They have a lot of fans. There are also events like poker, & featured Irish dishes specials on occasion. Nice staff that are REALLY into soccer/football.

We ordered quite a bit, including chicken meatballs, garlic fried rice, avocado, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, Korean fried chicken and the Wagyu dumplings. The standouts were the mushrooms and the brussel sprouts both of which were very savory and the brussel sprouts also had a little bit of sweetness. Overall, the food is good, but for a Michelin restaurant, I was pretty disappointed. I don't think it lives up to the hype. The food is just okay and personally, I think there's better tapas in Orlando, such as Bulla.
