I had been reading reviews about this place for a while, so I knew it was going to be worth the wait and it absolutely was! There was a line when we arrived, but we only waited about 30 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. The restaurant is incredibly cute, and every single detail is picture-perfect. Ordering is super easy since everything is done through a QR code or the app. Once we were seated, we placed our order and our food arrived within a minute or two. I couldn't believe how fast the service was! My husband ordered Bowser's Fireball Challenge and said he really enjoyed it. For a theme park restaurant, the food was surprisingly delicious. I ordered the Super Mushroom Soup, Garlic Knots, Mario Burger, and the Super Star Lemon Squash to drink. The mushroom soup was incredible (I'm a huge mushroom fan!), the garlic knots were just okay, I would probably skip those next time, but the Mario Burger was juicy, flavorful, and definitely my favorite entrée. The Super Star Lemon Squash was refreshing, and I loved the addition of boba. For dessert, we shared the Block Tiramisu. I had heard mixed reviews beforehand, but we both really enjoyed it. It was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Overall, I would absolutely come back. Between the fun atmosphere, adorable theming, lightning-fast service, and surprisingly great food, this place completely exceeded my expectations! read more

For what it is - quick service sit down meal at a theme park - it worked for me and my daughter. I had the piranha caprese salad, and it was surprisingly fresh and tasty. It was also adorable! My daughter had the garlic knots and enjoyed those as well. You order on the app, give your table number, and your food is delivered to you. read more

So, I already saw the reviews on here and my fave theme park influencers (yes, I'm a nerd) talking about the mid-level food here. With that in mind, I knew what I wanted and was more than happy! The caprese salad was good! I like a softer mozzarella and a fresher tomato, but I'm not in a market right now, I'm in a theme park. Considering that, the pesto flavor was great, the salad was fresh, the plating was adorable, and this was a solid, healthy snack that will give you a great boost of energy. The bean pole cake? Yummmmmy! You think you're getting more chocolate at first, but then strawberry hits, and a nice balance of earthy matcha jumps in. This was moist, yummy, creamy, and not too sweet. An excellent and enjoyable treat. The ambiance? Oh my gosh, I lived. From the cartoon window installs, the famous plumber pipe in the center, down to the team members costumes, I lived!! For me, I would eat a full meal elsewhere. But for a quick pit-stop and A/C - this spot rocks. read more

Toadstool Cafe is such a cute spot to cool down, chill out & grab a bite to eat. We had the Toadstool Garlic knots + Hamburger & Fries. Everything was fresh and tasted awesome! There's plenty of seating here with different options for whatever your group size is. read more

I came into this restaurant with low expectations, but the food here was actually pretty good for theme park food! My family and I shared the following dishes: - Bowser's Fireball Challenge: Actually had a nice kick to it. A big, thick, and moist meatball that is good for sharing. The pastry puff was a bit dry. Would've been good with some pasta. - Luigi Chicken Sandwich: Standard chicken sandwich with fries. Wasn't dry which was nice. - Yoshi Mushroom Alfredo: Tastes like something that could be made at home, but not in a bad way. The pasta was creamy, full of meat, and the pasta was cooked nicely. - Mt. Beanpole Cake: Solid cake with different layers of flavors. It was moist and smooth. Couldn't really taste the matcha though. - Block Tiramisu: Cute presentation. The tiramisu itself was good. I do wish the biscuits were better though. I loved the theming of the restaurant and food. You need to order ahead on the app. Once you sit down at a table you're assigned to, you need to scan the QR code for your order to go through. The line to get seated wasn't too bad. At the time I went, it took about 25 minutes to get seated. Would recommend if you're looking for a fun sit down meal experience at Epic Universe! read more

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! read more

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. read more

The atmosphere here is simply incredible and easily the highlight of the meal, that's not to say that the food was not good though. Firstly, it was shockingly easy to get in here for a group of 3 without a reservation, the servers have a very good system to find tables quick. The meal itself was great, the only fault I may have had was being far too excited to try everything and getting too many sweets. The mushroom soup lives up to the Mushroom Kingdom's name and was quite good. The tiramisu block was delicious, but perhaps slightly difficult to eat with the block cookies being difficult to break. The cake itself was shockingly good (and large), but perhaps suffered a bit from too much frosting sweetening it up a lot. The cake itself was so moist and good that I could have used more of a highlight on that aspect but still delicious. read more

Toadstool Cafe - Mushroom soup, Peach birthday cake, and question mark block tiramisu - Burgers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

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. read more

I was super excited to eat here, and it does look cool. But the food is pretty hit or miss. I got the Bowser's Fireball Challenge. While the meatball itself is delicious and spicy, the puff pastry is dry. For $27, I expected better. The kid's spaghetti is meatless, and the cookie that comes with it is mid. To make matters worse, there's no bathroom in the restaurant. Why you'd omit one from a child-oriented restaurant is beyond me. Shuttling the kids out the exit and back, just to wash their hands or go potty, is a hassle -- and one that could've been easily prevented. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

Toadstool Cafe - Bowser's Fireball Challenge - Burgers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

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. read more

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! read more

For any super Mario fan, this cafe is a must visit. The workers are adorable, the music playing is nostalgic, and the presentation of everything is whimsical and very Mario like. The food isn't the most stellar here so my suggestion is come here for the desserts because they are really whimsical and fun. I got the tiramisu block which was pretty standard. I got the mushroom soup also for the bowl and it was a bit bland, but the presentation was super cool. One note is I wish you could order the truffle fries as its own dish. I tried my friends and the truffle oil really permeated through which I enjoyed. read more

Okay, this was my FAVORITE spot in all of Epic!!!! Not only for the theme and how on brand and the details all over, but also because the food was actually super delicious. I was so giddy! They had so many details that truly made the dining experience so immersive. They had "windows" inside of the restaurant that acted as though we were in Toad's world, and at times, the world would be under attack by a ship and bullets. The food could be ordered ahead and assigned to your table. Hubby and I ordered the mushroom alfredo and the tiered matcha cake to share. I don't know if it was delicious because we were famished, but both delicious were 10/10. I cannot recommend this spot to Nintendo fans more!! read more

5 stars for the Toadstool Cafe in Universal's Epic Universe Park - this quick service restaurant is located in the Super Nintendo area of the park (lower level). The design inside is nicely decorated with the Nintendo theme, and there is plenty of seating and Coke freestyle machines inside. We tried the Mario Burger and the Fire Flower Spaghetti & Meatballs with a side of Garlic Knotts. The garlic Knotts and the Mario Burger were good, nothing too special and both about what you'd expect. The Fire Flower Spaghetti & Meatballs however was really good! The sauce had a nice spice to it, and the meal itself was super filling. It's nice that the workers bring the food right to you as well. Overall, I think it's a nice quick service place to get a meal in the park. read more

The design of this place is amazing. It is a very and theme restaurant, I found it funny that they kinda serving Italian food in a Mario theme restaurant. It did take a little longer than to get our food but it was worth it and it doesn't felt too long because of so much to see inside. Staff also works very hard to make sure the table is ready, saw a lot of people that try to get a table just walking in from the exit, but the staff handles it well and ask them to get inline. The Mario Burger is excellent, the sauce reminds me of Big Mac, it was not overcooked and amazing. Then Fire Flower Spaghetti and Meatballs tasted excellent and little spicy. I really like the Mt. Beanpole Cake, great presentation and great taste. For theme park food, it is excellent and fun. I will come back. read more

This is a solid spot for a more sturdy meal without going to a sitdown restaurant in the park. They have a nice variety of options, with great theming to boot. Granted, it's not the most delicious meal I've ever had, but it's satisfying enough. The seating area is pretty large so we've never had a problem getting a table and the food comes out relatively quickly, although expect a little bit of a wait. It has a fun ambience and was a perfect addition to this area of the park. read more

I'm a sucker for themed dining experiences, and during my visit to Epic Universe in September, Toadstool Café completely immersed me in the world of Super Mario. From the décor to the vibe, it felt like I had stepped straight into the game. The menu had so many creative options, but for lunch I decided to keep it simple and went with the kids' cheeseburger meal. Nothing fancy there, just a standard burger, fries, broccoli, and a little chocolate coin for dessert, but the atmosphere elevated it and made it really fun to enjoy. Later that evening, though, is where Toadstool Café won me over. I ordered the Princess Peach Cake and... clawd ham mercy! That cake didn't stand a chance. Moist cake, light frosting, perfectly balanced sweetness--I devoured the whole thing by myself. My only gripe is the $22 price tag for the small cake, but honestly, it was so good I can't even be mad about it. Between the good food, the incredible immersion, and friendly service, Toadstool Café easily earns 4.5 stars in my book. But since I can't give half stars (or don't know how to), I'm giving it the full 5. This is a must-visit spot and will definitely be on my list next time I head back to Epic Universe. read more

Toadstool Cafe is hands down one of the most fun and creative dining spots in the entire park. Located inside Super Nintendo World, it's themed like you've stepped into Princess Peach's kingdom, and the level of detail is insane. There are moving screens show Toads cooking in the kitchen, and the whole place feels like you're eating inside a Mario game. The food is surprisingly good (not just theme park cute). Some highlights are the Mario Burger, which was juicy, perfectly cooked, and topped with a cute little Mario hat toothpick. It comes with truffle fries. There was also a Luigi Pesto Chicken Sandwich. It was flavorful and lighter than the burger, with fresh greens and a soft bun. The presentation was amazing and service was quick and good. Lines can get long during peak hours, so try to go early or right after the lunch rush. But honestly, it's worth the wait just for the experience. Whether you're a die-hard Nintendo fan or just love a good themed meal, Toadstool Cafe is a must-visit. It's fun, filling, and full of little details that make the meal feel magical. read more

Perfectly good place to eat at an amusement park. Toadstool cafe is located on the bottom tier of Super Mario world. Look for the giant mushroom and you'll find it. No wait service here or reservations, as it's all mobile ordering; luckily Universal has this down to a science, so it's actually better than if you had table service. They bring everything you order to you anyway using QR codes. Servers are friendly for wha that's worth, and the inside is spacious and cute. Food is decent as the rating would suggest. Garlic knots were solid. Caprese salad totally skippable. My Bowser meatball challenge was flavorful and formidable, however wouldn't get it again; hot sauce is on the side, and it badly needs pasta. Alfredo looked good, as did the grilled chicken special. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food, especially the spaghetti and meatballs. Princess peach cake for dessert is huge but cute; tiramisu was a more moderate bet. Was it the best food at Epic Universe? Hell no. Maybe the worst of the situation down options. That said it was good comfort food, kids loved it, and price point wasn't bad. I'll take the win, especially for an amusement park! read more

Quick bites, cartoon joy, and edible nostalgia Toadstool Cafe is exactly what it promises: fast, fun, colorful, and unapologetically inside a video game. First things first--the theming goes hard. This isn't Mario wallpaper slapped on a cafeteria. The windows "look" into the Mushroom Kingdom kitchen where Chef Toad animatronics hustle around like you're watching a playable cutscene. Kids lose their minds. Adults pretend they're not smiling. Everyone's smiling. Ordering is streamlined, efficient, and mercifully quick for a theme-park restaurant. This is fuel-with-personality, not a white-tablecloth experience, and it knows it. Food comes out fast, hot, and plated like it belongs on a Nintendo loading screen. The menu leans playful but competent--Bowser's Fireball Challenge, Mario and Luigi burgers, themed desserts that are absurdly photogenic, and portions that won't wreck your day but will absolutely keep you going. No one's reinventing gastronomy here, but nothing feels lazy or insulting either. What makes Toadstool Cafe work is that it never breaks immersion. Even when you're eating, you still feel like you're inside the game. The colors, sounds, details, and pacing all reinforce the illusion that you didn't just sit down to eat--you hit "pause" in another world. Is it fine dining? No. Is it memorable, fun, and joyful? Absolutely. read more

I was so excited to finally try out the Toadstool cafe in Orlando! I love Nintendo and Toad is one of my favorite characters. You can see him in the windows cooking it's so cute! I love how they set everything up. The servers here were really nice. You choose somewhere to sit and scan the QR code to order. You place the order in the app and they bring it to your table. We started with the Garlic Knots and to be honest these were not good. For the entree I got the Mario Burger. The presentation was cute with the little Mario hat and the mustache on the burger. It was also a pretty good burger! The best thing we had was the dessert, the Mt. Beanpole Cake. Wow they definitely surprised me. It was so delicious! All the layers went perfectly together. I would recommend you try this place out for the experience if you are a big Nintendo fan. Definitely try the Mt. Beanpole cake! read more

The food is terrible, but it was worth it to see the excitement on my 6 year old daughter's face. My advice: Don't order the burgers and keep your expectations low. I got the hockey puck (Mario Burger). I do not recommend. My husband got the Bowser's Fireball Challenge which we don't think had any spice at all. We expected more with a name like that. My daughter got the Power-Up Spaghetti Marinara. Again, nothing special. The ? Block Tiramisu and Mt. Beanpole Cake were decent. If I had to choose just one, I'd go with the Mt. Beanpole Cake. Epic Universe has more to offer, so we'll skip Toadstool Cafe the next time we're there. read more
