    toadstool cheesy garlic knots
    Mike L.

    The decor of Toadstool Cafe is great! There's also some scenes where Bowser's minions on a flying ship are in the area and all the Toads are running away. As with other Universal restaurants, you seat yourself, order through the Universal app, scan the table for your number, and wait for staff to deliver your food. Super Mushroom Soup: come with a Nintendo mushroom top and staff asks if you want a picture before they remove the top unveiling the soup. The soup is a nice creamy mushroom soup. Toadstool Cheesy Garlic Knots: I loved the flavor of the garlic knots as they were cheesy and garlicky. The knots themselves were very dense though and was more bready and drier than I expected. I would've liked it more if the bread was more airy. Truffle French fries (kids menu): crispy fries lightly seasoned with a truffle salt. These fries were a nice side to share. ? Block Tiramisu: can't go wrong with a tiramisu!

    An experience you may want but may not go back the next time. Epic Universe is great. Especially after walking 20k steps I'm sure all need some food to replenish. My son wanted to experience Toadstool Cafe and I must say - cool experience but taste wise- thumbs down. Venue: starts with standing in line, walls decorated with digital menu which I thought was nice. The menu is shaped in Mario characters which is awesome. Makes you want to order all (but I recommend not to). When it's your turn you be will seated- quite large venue than its entrance! So cool. Then you order your food online and the food will be delivered to your table. It is a sit down restaurant but not much service. Food: visually pleasing and really cool. But don't expect much out of taste. Cold food. Soup was at hottest warm. All good and dessert tasted..old. Either too salty, too sour, too stale. Service: they bring your food. That's it. It's an experience that you can say you did it. But definitely won't be going back.

    I came here for dinner with my sister on a Friday evening while visiting epic universe at universal theme park. It was a very cute and well themed spot. The meatball was 1lb and I ordered it at my table via phone with the QR code. It came out pretty quickly and was hot. There was a large piece of gristle in my meat which I did not enjoy but it was ok overall. I was starved and ate the whole thing. It's little pricy (around $25) and it just comes with that bowser puff pastry. The pastry was pretty dry and underwhelming. The meatball was not too spicy. But the food does come with a side of hot sauce if you want it spicier. I'd probably try a different meal next time.

    We ate at Toadstool Cafe in Epic Universe and it was such a cute, fun experience--especially if you have kids. The theming is really well done and makes it feel like you're inside the Mario world. We went during a busy time and it was pretty crowded, but the experience itself was still enjoyable. The atmosphere and details are definitely the highlight here. The food was hit or miss. I ordered the mushroom pizza and it was honestly not good--it had a ton of mushrooms, the top was cold bread, and I didn't end up eating it. Overall, the food felt decent at best--better than typical theme park food in some ways, but still expensive for what you get. Overall, we're glad we did it and it was a fun stop, especially for kids, but not somewhere we'd go out of our way to eat again.

    Such a fun quick service restaurant! If you love Mario you'll definitely have to eat here . Everything was super fun and on theme . You're surrounded by toads from super Mario it is so cute . I got the kids spaghetti and it came with a garlic bread and a coin cookie . I loved the gimmicks that they incorporated into the food. The food was decent, and reasonably priced.

    Great atmosphere, not so good staff (on our visit). The mobile ordering app was messing up that day, but the workers at the registers did not want to take orders. They were there in case someone was paying with cash, but the workers roped off the ordering area and were standing around on their phones. We ended up having to order at the counter - the workers told us to go find a table and one of us would need to walk back and order with the table number that we had. Seems a little inefficient when the system is down but I get it because they need to know where to deliver the food. Fine. Lots of staff standing around chatting loudly with each other. There was one staffer cleaning the tables by herself; I feel like one of the guys joking around could have helped clean tables too but oh well. That woman was working hard for sure - I hope she gets a promotion. Food arrived, it was fine. The Mt Beanpole cake was delicious, I get the hype. The rest of it was meh. I had gone to get a vegan calzone from the Yoshi snack booth - not many vegetarian options in the actual cafe. Worth a visit to check it out, but there are soooo many more places to eat at Epic. Probably won't be back unless they switch up the menu a bit.

    The burger was dry due to the bun and the meat inside--the cheese was not fully melted, but the flag is a cute touch. The cake was sweet and well layered with the jam and yellow vanilla cake. Super cute interior to take pictures but not really to eat.

    Super Mushroom Soup

    This restaurant is exclusively taking orders via mobile app at this time. You browse and pick your items, pay via the app and then line up for a table. Once seated, you scan the QR code to let staff know you've arrived and to prepare your meal. Even around 3PM, there was a wait to get in and the dining room was packed. We didn't have to wait very long for our meal to arrive. The mushroom soup and garlic knots were GREAT. The soup reminded me of a home made style soup, comforting, warm and very delicious, the garlic knots went really well with it! I ordered the salad as I was craving some vegetables, happy that this was an option. The pasta and meatballs were nice. The tiramisu tasted more like a mocha cake than tiramisu. It was delicious, just not the flavour that we expected. The atmosphere was buzzing, everyone was super energetic. There's a freestyle machine available so, if you've brought your own water bottle, you can fill it up there. Just a note- they dont have any takeout containers, so order what you can eat to avoid any waste

    The cream of mushroom soup without the cute Toad top
    Danielle C.

    I really like themed cafes and wanted to try this place since we were in Super Nintendo World around lunch time. We went around 11AM and beat the lunch rush that came in around 12PM. We were able to easily grab a table! I did the mobile pickup order through the phone and it was seamless! I tried the chicken fettuccine and thought it was okay. The chicken was very salty but the pasta itself was not which led to a strange eating experience. The tiramisu cake was very cute and tasted good. My spouse got the Mario burger. It was a standard burger! I got the cream of mushroom soup and liked the Toad top that came with it. They do allow you to take a picture but they will take it away after (I bet you people were taking the tops). The soup itself was tasty. I think the food here is mostly just okay but the ambiance is really cute. I like the Toads on the screens and sometimes it gets dark when the Bowser airships start attacking the Toads! Or if Bullet Bill is harassing the Toads in the kitchen!

    Bowser's Fireball Challenge
    Corrina Q.

    This cafe is themed perfectly! There is a plethora of seating inside, so don't worry too much if the line seems long to get in. Additionally, the staff seat your party so you don't have to worry about searching for a seat. We ordered on the app while we waited in line and then scanned the QR code on our table to have our order delivered to us. I love this process! The Bowser's Fireball Challenge was $25 and included a 1-pound meatball with spicy sauce and a Bowser shaped biscuit. The meatball was just okay. The mushroom soup came in such a cute bowl and was surprisingly really really good. This restaurant is a bit pricey (I think the Piranha Plant Caprese was like $13-14 which was hard for me to justify spending on a few tomatoes and mozzarella slices), but you do have to remember this is located inside Epic Universe so you will be paying theme park prices. I would come back for the soup on a cold theme park day if I wanted a quick, healthy, hearty snack under $10 (for the soup specifically). The desserts looked good, but we didn't get to try any. I think this is more of an ambiance and decor kind of place. The service was very efficient and streamlined though given with how many guests were dining in.

    Amazing restaurant!! Probably my favorite place I ate at in the new Epic Universe. The whole reason you are going is for the ambiance, the decor, and theme of the whole restaurant. From looking into the restaurant from the outside, to actually entering and sitting down at a table, the whole journey is crafted so nicely with the design of the whole place and the Toad characters on the big LED screens to really just immerse you in the Mario World universe. The dining room was very large inside, and you are able to place your order with no human interaction needed. We ordered the Mario burger, Luigi sandwich, mushroom soup, salad, and the tiramisu mushroom block cake. The food came out decently quick, but it went by faster since we were able to watch the Toads roam around in their neighborhoods and cook in the kitchen on the screens. The whole environment inside is hustling and bustling with sounds and things to see. Sometimes, the toads on the screens encounter a thunderstorm and start freaking out and running around everywhere, and even the lights dim a bit in the main dining room: it's so cute!! The Mario burger was good, just your average burger though. Luigi chicken sandwich was also good, I really liked the sauce on the sandwich. They also came with fries which were decent. The mushroom soup was a sleeper though, really good! The salad was just regular salad but nice dressing. Lastly, the dessert was so cute and unique. Tasty as well! You could eat the sides of the block which were really good. Overall, I had a great time here, but maybe this is because I LOVE TOAD!

    Yoshi Fettuccine Alfredo $16.99 & Super Mushroom Pizza Bowl $17.99
    Amy O.

    The menu includes Mushroom Soup, Cheesy Garlic Knots, Chicken Salad, Caprese Salad, Burgers, Pastas, Pizza Bowls, Meatballs, Marinated Chicken, and a few dessert options. Unfortunately, this place is more about ambience than food quality. The food itself was extremely bland, and to make matters worse, they do not provide salt or pepper if you asked. It's disappointing to say this because the restaurant's decoration is absolutely adorable. If you love Super Mario or Nintendo, it's a fun spot to walk through and take photos. You can also refill Coca-Cola Freestyle souvenir cups here, which is a plus. We waited approximately 50 minutes for our food. During that time, multiple tables that were seated after us received their meals. We eventually had to flag down a manager for help. Thankfully, once we spoke up, the food arrived within about five minutes. The manager on duty was very efficient and apologetic, which helped ease the situation. While the food looked incredibly cute and well-themed, the taste did not match the presentation at all! This is honestly one of the first negative reviews I have had to leave. The biggest disappointment was the Super Mushroom Pizza Bowl. Despite clearly stating that it comes with mozzarella cheese, both pizza bowls we ordered arrived with absolutely no cheese! We asked a staff member if cheese could be added, and they told us they could not give us any. If they had run out, that should have been communicated instead of simply refusing. A pizza bowl with no cheese feels like false advertising, especially since it stated in the descriptions it had mozzarella. What we ordered: Yoshi Mushroom Alfredo: $16.99 Fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken, mushrooms, broccoli, and a Yoshi egg parmesan crisp. This dish was extremely bland with no seasoning at all. It had zero salt and no depth of flavor. We ordered two plates and did not finish either one. Unfortunately, both of us ended up getting sick and throwing up a few hours later. The dish honestly reminded me of a frozen microwave meal. Super Mushroom Pizza Bowl: $17.99 Pizza bowl with mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom marinara sauce topped with a Super Mushroom pizza crust. Our table ordered two. The bowl itself was adorable, but neither dish had any cheese, and we were told we could not get any added. Toadstool Cheesy Garlic Knots: $8.99 Mini mushroom-shaped knots brushed with garlic butter, parmesan cheese, parsley, and served with marinara sauce. These were decent, but nothing memorable. Block Tiramisu: $8.99 Tiramisu layered with coffee-soaked ladyfingers and topped with a chocolate power-up. This was the only item everyone at our table truly enjoyed. It actually had flavor and was genuinely good. Overall, waiting nearly an hour for food that was extremely bland, lacking basic seasoning, and missing advertised ingredients made this experience very disappointing. Spending about $88 here did not feel worth it, and we would not return. The concept and visuals are super cute and great for photos, but that's about it. If you are visiting Epic Universe, your best bet is heading to Yoshi's Snack Island for a shell calzone and a smoothie instead. Sadly, this was the worst place we ate at Epic Universe. Dined in on 12/13/25.

    Mario and Luigi Burger time!
    Jon H.

    It's the experience....but the food was decent. If you give this place a try, just know you gotta order the food on the park app while you're waiting in line for a table to free up! When a table is free, you scan the code on the table and they bring the food out to you.

    I remember seeing this establishment and it's owner featured on CNBC's YouTube channel. Since then,…read moreit's been on my list of places to try out to support local businesses. To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

In the area there are at least 6 other fast food places and places where they will bring your order to you or you have a drive thru. Do better. And if you're staff has an issue with it, maybe hire better And if it's a time issue, then have the app send a push notification to the person that's ordering it lets them know that the order is ready so there's no delay at the window. Panda Express etc has that option.
