You really can't miss Mead Hall in the Isle of Berk in the How to Train Your Dragon section of EPIC Universe. It's the really tall structure you can see throughout this whole section of the Park. When we walked inside around lunchtime, we were told to wait in a short line while they found us a table. In less than 5 minutes, a host escorted us to a table and then told us to order via the Universal Studios app and scan the QR code on our table and the food would be delivered right us. This was actually very simple and easy to do. The inside of the Hall does make you think you are in a medieval castle and there are nods to How to Train Your Dragon in all the statues and tapestries. We looked over the menu on the app and then did a mobile order. I got Hiccup's Grilled Salmon and a Coke Freestyle drink and my husband got the Berserker's Meatballs and a Coke Freestyle drink. I then scanned the QR code and the app entered in our table number. Relatively quickly, a server came by with our drink cups. I went up and got our drinks at the 3 Freestyle machines along one side of the hall. I got my husband a Coke Zero while I got a Cherry Fanta. A bit later, another server brought our two platters. The meatballs were like the Swedish meatballs you get at IKEA, although a little softer. Also, I didn't think the gravy was as flavorful as IKEA's. But, the smashed root vegetables were really tasty. My salmon was amazing! Perfectly cooked, really good flavor from the sauce, delicious. The sides were great, too. The carrots were soft, but not too soft, and the roasted potatoes were yummy. I would definitely get the salmon dish again. read more

This is located within the Isle of Berk, How to Train Your Dragon world within Epic universe. You go inside and if you want to order drinks go to the right to the counters. The inside is a large circle room with fun decor on the inside. If you're coming for food, pick a table and order from the QR code/App. We came in at 11am for an earlier lunch and food came out within 5 minutes of ordering! We noticed the staff were very quick at cleaning off the tables when people left. We shared the Thawfest Platter ($49.99, $53.24 with taxes), which was large and enough for two hungry adults to share. The platter includes 3 lollipop chicken in a wild berry BBQ sauce, salmon, sausages, fries with a dill seasoning (our favorite fries in the park!), carrots, grilled onions and came with sauces of bbq sauce, ketchup, pickled cucumber slices and horseradish dill creme fraiche. Inside there is no bathroom, closest is outside and to the right. read more

Mead Hall is visually stunning and absolutely nails the fantasy. The Isle of Berk area is enchanting, immersive, and honestly one of the prettiest spaces in Epic Universe. You feel transported the second you walk in. Now... the service. Or rather, the idea of service. There are no waiters, no napkins, and the app meant to replace human interaction was completely useless. You're mostly on your own, Viking-style. Food was hit or miss. The turkey wings were chewy and tough. The carrot hash was a lot of chilly hash and too much carrot. Potatoes were good, comforting, and reliable. Meatballs were solid and enjoyable. Salmon was the size of a deck of cards, but not overcooked. Despite the operational chaos, it was still a good time. The atmosphere does most of the heavy lifting here, a nice and cool respite and it's strong enough that you forgive a lot. Mead Hall is more about vibes than dining excellence, magical setting, uneven execution, but still worth experiencing at least once just to soak it all in. Beautiful place. Questionable logistics. Still glad we went. read more

We stopped at Mead Hall during an crazy storm at Epic. We arrived just in time before the crowd, our food was fresh and the Nordic fries were delicious. My family loved the burger and I loved the mead wine. Our family are huge fans How To Train Your Dragon and the interior exterior decor was great. This was a nice option other than usual fried food within a theme park. read more

The salad is amazing. It's got a lot going on. Oats. Kale. Walnuts. Blueberries. Radishes. Red cabbage. So many tastes and textures. I'd order this again and again. It's quick service, and the staff is super helpful. The decor is very on theme. I think this was one of my favorite bites in Epic Universe read more

We stopped in for lunch. Order from the QR code with quick service for food to the table. We had the Berserkers meatballs which were very tasty with roasted root vegetable mash. My friend had the Sullen sea sandwich which was just ok. The ancient grains were really hard and not edible. They have freestyle machines for your soda choice. read more

Mead Hall in the Isle of Berk leans fully into its How to Train Your Dragon fantasy, a rowdy Viking mess hall where characters wander through like they own the place and will interact with guests. The tables are locked down with QR codes so you order everything through the Universal app. It's a strange mix of theme‑park chaos and modern efficiency, but it works. We went for the sausage links and the meatballs. Straightforward, hearty plates that won't change your life but absolutely hit the spot. Nothing flashy, nothing trying too hard, just good, tasty food served in a space that feels alive and loud and a little ridiculous in the best way. read more

Mead Hall - Thaw fest platter - Desserts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I'll open with the negative, the mead was... Technically mead. The rest of the food was amazing, the interior of the hall was great, and frankly it was air-conditioned which meant so much more to me. I hope you like ordering over apps because this place is not for those who aren't prepared to master that BS yet. I've heard people complain about the service but as I think about it, I don't even recall there being any service. Were there even people involved? The whole process was so automated as to cut out the human presence, I can't recall there being any people. I mean, hooray for automation or whatever, but the human element has been removed from a setting ( viking ages ) that simply doesn't mesh with high-technology. I came for the air conditioning and stayed for the food. read more

Mead hall is the great dining hall at the back of Isle of Berk inside Epic Universe. It's themed to a grand dining hall, where vikings would gather and celebrate. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Universal always does their theming so well. It really feels like I've stepped into the past when walking in. This establishment, like many of the other restaurants within Epic Universe, has an option for mobile ordering. You just order your food on the Universal app and scan the QR code on your table. I wanted to eat like a Viking so I went with something meaty. I found the turkey wings a unique dish, especially for theme park food. Our server brought it to us within about 10 mins. These wings are gigantic! I was expecting it to be bigger than chicken wings but wow! They were almost the size of my forearm. The wings, along with the barbeque sauce were excellent. The skin was a little crispy and the wings were not dry. The dish came with a baked potato, onions, and carrots. These were just as good as the wings. I'll warn you, you might get your hands dirty eating these, but that's okay. We're vikings here! I will definitely be back for the yaknog! read more

Mead Hall - Gobber the Belch's Turkey Wings - Desserts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

As I mentioned in previous reviews we were very impressed with the food at Epic Universe, but of all the lands the food at How to Train your Dragon really stands out. Mead Hall is the main dining hall in the land and it really takes you back to the Viking era, with the lighting in the hall feeling like it's candle light. For the main meal we ordered their Hooligan's sausage links. The smoked sausage were very tasty and texture had the right snap. The sides included herb garlic miniature potatoes and roasted veggie. For dessert my daughter was dying to try the Stormfly's Catch of the day which is a chocolate mousse fish on top of cereal crumble. The mousse is encased in an orange sweet shell and the mousse was delicious while the crumble had fruity pebbles flavor. The whole family enjoyed the food and ambience of the Mead Hall! read more

Like many of the sit down eateries you will see in EPIC this one is done so so well. It was part of Berk Universe and was so so well done. So much detail went into every part of this restaurant that I felt immersed in the land. We opted to sit in the back where there were two high back chairs and a bench and it was so cool. For the food I ordered the turkey wings and OMG so good! They had a bbq glaze that was just enough and so tasty. I tore my wings up! My sons had the salmon and the ohter had a kids burger and kids mac and cheese bites and nothing was left on their plates. It wasn't freezing in here either as some of the restaurants are themed that way in Dark Universe. The staff was prompt and friendly. Really nothing bad to say about this place! read more

This place is for those who want to be a Viking for the day! An amazing experience and ambiance! We came in with a large group of 13 and were seated pretty quickly after being asked if we could split the group, which we didn't mind at all. We mobile ordered on the app and our food came out quickly. We tried many dishes on the menu, and everything was super delicious and for a reasonable price. I had to try the mead, which was so yummy and fun that they went with a boysenberry and black currant mead instead of the traditional type. After being outside in the cold, some sausage links and mead really hit the spot. If you really love the How to Train Your Dragon universe, this is THE spot to eat! It's more than just theme park food, it's an experience that truly immerses you in the world of Berk. So happy that we chose to eat here! read more

The theming of this dining hall is spot on. It makes you feel like Vikings living in Berk gathering for a meal. We ordered the Thawfest Plater & Yaknog drink. It's too much food for the 2 of us. It would've been perfect for 3 people. Taste wise, it's standard, nothing bad. Wish the sausage has mozzarella inside. The drumstick tastes better when dip in the bbq sauce. The pesto on the salmon def makes it taste better. You can either mobile order and say you're here, or get a table then order from the QR code. They'll bring the food to your table. As a fan of How To Train Your Dragon, I'm glad I went eat here. read more

If you're a How to Train Your Dragon fan, you're going to love the Mead Hall at Epic Universe. The décor is incredibly detailed--every corner truly feels like you've stepped into the Viking world of Berk. We started with the Nordic Harvest Salad, which was a pleasant surprise. The portion was big, the flavors were fresh and tasty, and the price felt very reasonable for a theme park. For our main dish, we shared the Thawfest Platter, and it was absolutely delicious. It comes with wild berry BBQ-glazed chicken drumsticks, grilled salmon, sausage links, roasted carrots, Cipollini onions, Nordic fries, and a variety of dipping sauces. Everything was well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and the mix of flavors made it really fun to share. Another perk: no reservation needed. We walked in, picked a table we liked, scanned the QR code to order, paid, and the food was brought right to us. Super convenient and stress-free. Overall, the Mead Hall is a must-visit--great theming, hearty food, and a smooth, modern dining experience. If you love How to Train Your Dragon, this place will make you feel right at home in Berk. read more

Value for money: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Food Quality: 4 Customer Service: 5 (friendly staff) Look and Feel (Ambiance): 5 Thank you, Come Again?: 5 Mead Hall at Epic Universe is a feast for the senses--and not just because of the food. Themed after "How to Train Your Dragon" movie, the restaurant fully immerses you in the Viking world of Berk, with dramatic decor and a lively atmosphere that makes you feel like you've stepped into the movie. We ordered the Turkey Wing Platter, which came with a full-sized potato, roasted carrots, and onion. The turkey wing was a bit overcooked, but still had decent flavor and paired well with the hearty sides. We also tried the Sausage Platter, which came with the same accompaniments. Both dishes were surprisingly tasty--better than I expected for a theme park meal. The portions were generous, and the rustic presentation added to the immersive experience. It's clear that the designers put a lot of thought into making the space feel authentic and fun. Overall, Mead Hall is a great stop if you're exploring Epic Universe and want a meal that matches the magic of the surroundings. I'd come back to try more dishes and soak in the atmosphere again. read more

I was apprehensive about food options when going to Epic because I was traveling with kids, some of which are picky eaters. I did not think we'd end up here after looking at the menu but the kids wanted to try it. Got seated very quickly and placed our order through the app. The kids decided to share the Thawfest platter and I was so proud of them for trying different things!! It has chicken drumsticks, salmon, sausage links, carrots, Nordic fries and onions plus sauces. Neither kids wanted the onions but that was ok. Nobody was a fan of the Nordic fries because the seasoning tasted like maybe dill pickles?? If that's your thing you will love them. But they enjoyed all the meats and ate until they were full. Several adults could have easily shared this. I got the Berserkers meatballs wanting them to be like Ikeas in the best way and they were!! We also tried the Toothless plasma blast drink and the Stormflys Catch of the day dessert, both were pretty good. Worth checking out this place!! Loved the decor read more
