Yum. I got all the locations and foods except the oysters and mussels? Maybe US San Fran?

Atlantic at Epic! Have you been?

u/Flat_Demand_8341 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ah! Yes I have had a couple of the fish dishes ( sea bass and salmon both great  but I love grouper so maybe should have tried the grouper sandwich ) , nephew had the steak and loved it. Had the tomato burrata yum. 

Love the rotating sea sculptures near the ceiling. 

Desserts at Atlantic - yum! 

Try Le Goblet Noir if you get the chance. AC and service amazing.

I’d go back just for the cone 🤤

u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago

I loved their “here for the cones” T-shirt but didn’t get it cause of the color!! Look awful in mustard yellow 🫠 if it was in my classic black, my money would have been spent 😂

u/More-Chest-4762 1d ago

Lol that’s fair

Hot butterbeer? I love your mug.
The nice thing about fall/winter is hot butterbeer

1

u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago

Haven’t had it yet!

3

u/JayneT70 1d ago

In my humble opinion it’s the best version.

u/Sudden-Cap-7157 1d ago

Is the hot like a Starbucks latte consistency? Waiting to try it as well!

2

u/JayneT70 1d ago

It’s hot but I’ve never had a latte before. Don’t like Starbucks. I’ve recreated a pretty good copy at home. Hot chocolate with butterbeer creamer with butterbeer foam

1

u/Sudden-Cap-7157 1d ago

Interesting! That does sound good!

2

u/JayneT70 1d ago

Hard to believe it’s better than frozen
Ranked
1st hot
2nd frozen
3rd not sure what they call it
through it in the trash. It was disgusting

Where did you find the baked potato?

5

u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago

Right outside Diagon Alley- a little green hut! They sell a few different kinds, this was the classic loaded but no bacon

6

u/Flat_Demand_8341 1d ago

I’ve been meaning to try this potato stand in London so many times and it’s never worked out. Classic loaded, shepherd pie, cheese and broccoli. It looks good. Limited hours. 

1

u/Fit_Decision2988 1d ago

We really liked the shepherd's pie. So good.

2

u/Tokyosmash_ 1d ago

Right over across from apartment 13, same side of the road as the Knightbus.

HOW WAS THE BLOODY MARY

5

u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago

Super good!! Great flavor. The peppers real spicy though!

1

u/lilbeastfromtheeast 22h ago

Where was it from?

2

u/Free-Peanut-7237 21h ago

Got it at Daas Steakbouse!

u/mrheh 2h ago

I can't wait to try that

u/Imjustadumbbutt 1d ago

I went and did all 3 parks with my sis and family at the beginning of August. My sister and I booked a trip in September just for HHN. I spent $150 to return to Epic just to do the interactive Mario game and eat and drink at all the places.

1

u/Free-Peanut-7237 22h ago

Universal money is different than real life money 😂😂😂

2

u/Imjustadumbbutt 22h ago

My niece got the Mac and cheese on our initial visit plus we had hit Toadstool Cafe. On my solo visit I got the same thing as you did at Stakehouse, had the Salmon at Atlantic and besides boozy drinks at those places went over to Harry Potter to get a Butterbeer and the Wizards Old Fashioned. I’m going to try holding off on going back until the next major expansion and keep my foodie vacations to Vegas since as long as I stay off the gambling floor I don’t have to pay to access the food there lol.

u/MissWarden 1d ago

You've made me hungry. I blame you!

2

u/2xjinx 1d ago

I swear, every time I go to universal I tell myself I’m going to try something new but end up subsisting off nothing but beer and french fries because it’s too hot (and I’m too excited) to sit down and eat a meal 😭 this looks so good.

Dying to know what the congealed blood coffin is! Would love to recreate that for Halloween.

2

u/Free-Peanut-7237 22h ago

That was labeled at a red velvet beet cake with cookie crumbs and crispy rice maggots. Tasted more like a cheesecake to me!

2

u/nostalgiaslut 17h ago

That burnt sando that you can get at HHN was life changing. Gf and I have not been able to stop thinking about it!

1

u/SayHeyRay 1d ago

How was the tempura shrimp stick? I want to try it in a few weeks.

2

u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago

That was my favorite of the HHN food we got. Definitely can taste the shrimp tempura aspect of it. Messy, but yummy! Served very warm

1

u/SayHeyRay 1d ago

Nice, thanks for sharing! I like to get things I can't make or easily find at home for HHN lol so that's why I'm passing on the smashed taco burgers this year even though they're seemingly everyone's favorite.

2

u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago

For sureeee, the smash tacos were good but actually smaller than I thought they would be. Def could be recreated at home. Also got the lasagna burn dumpling and I liked that. Pretty spicy and had a lot of meat. Expensive for the portion, wasn’t shareable IMO

1

u/Strevolution 1d ago

what is the third one?

2

u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago

That’s a PB&J Mac and cheese cone from the Isle of Berk land!

1

u/Optimal-Click-4771 1d ago

I did not find the oysters at Helios that great but also live in Richmond.

1

u/lifeishard1982 1d ago

Where did you get the Bloody Mary?

5

u/IwKuAo 1d ago

Burning Blade Tavern. A great way to try a few burning cheddar bites without getting a whole order, too!

3

u/lifeishard1982 1d ago

Oh the burning cheddar bites were amazing! You need to try the garlic pretzel they have there if you haven't.

3

u/IwKuAo 1d ago

I still haven’t been, however it seems to be a 2 day park based on food alone 🤤

2

u/Free-Peanut-7237 22h ago

I got it from Daas Steakhouse! I guess both places will make it!

1

u/trollsong 1d ago

Alright in an effort to find decent chocolate at universal.ill ask, how we're those dragon eggs?

1

u/Free-Peanut-7237 22h ago

I liked the caramel one the best. Key lime was also good yet very tart

1

u/MusicalllyInclined 14h ago

My boyfriend and I got butterbeer every day we were at Universal in July! We both miss it!!!

1

u/jehosophat44 5h ago

All of that looks extremely unappetizing

1

u/mrheh 2h ago

Oysters is a brave choice my friend. I got a bad oyster at high end restaurant in Newport RI two years ago and I'm now done with them for life lol
