1. Three Broomsticks
Witch or wizard, muggle or Potterhead, you’re always welcome to have a hearty meal at Three Broomsticks. This rustic tavern inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will take you straight to Hog’s Head Inn as you enjoy scrumptious English cuisine. The menu includes The Great Banquet, a massive platter of salad, herb-roasted chicken, and ribs to feed the entire fam of four.
As for dessert, we solemnly swear that Three Broomsticks’ Sticky Toffee Pudding and gooey Butterbeer Potted Cream are up to no good! You can taste these wizardly treats down at Hogsmeade. While at it, don’t forget to grab a mug of frozen or hot Butterbeer and snap a cute shot too!
Klook Tip: On a different side of the USA? No problem! You can always visit the Three Broomsticks branch at Universal Orlando.
2. Minion Cafe
Time to go bananas over the despicably delicious Felonious Float at Minion cafe! Our next food stop on the map is the vibrant dessert place at Super Silly Fun Land. Where the kids, teens, and the young at heart blast off to mischievous adventures. Minion Cafe (formerly known as Gru’s Lab Cafe) comes packed with sugary treats such as the Nutella Banana Pudding and Unicorn Cupcake to sweeten your day. Add in some cool shakes, and the cafe’s absolutely terrific for beating the heat!
Bonus: you’ll also get to meet your favourite minion on the way.
3. Jurassic Cafe
For those with T-rex-sized appetites, let the Jurassic Cafe feed you with all the meat you’ll need to brave all the thrilling rides at the park. This island-themed dining place whips up the meanest Costa Rican dishes in Universal Studios Hollywood. These include healthy menu items such as the Citrus Glazed Chicken and Tropical Roasted Chicken Salad but if it’s your cheat day try an Isla Burger and Turkey Platter instead! For drinks, the Raptor Refresher’s your best mate on a hot summer day.
4. Springfield U.S.A
Fried chicken, waffles, burgers, and shakes? You name it! Springfield’s packed with all the American classics but with a little twist: it’s all based on the comedic world of The Simpsons! Here at Krustyland, you can enjoy the greasy, spicy, but sinfully delicious Chicken & Waffle Sandwich Burger from Cletus’ Chicken Shack.
Or eat your way to Krusty Burger for some serious, meaty bites (warning: don’t chomp when you’re not ready) like the legendary Krusty Burger, Clogger Burger, and the Ribwich. You can also check out Moe’s Tavern to enjoy a real Duff Beer to help you gulp down your Krusty burger! Meanwhile, the kiddos can sip the fizzling cup of Flaming Moe, a non-alcoholic soda, served in a souvenir cup for you to take home.
But, let’s not forget, a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood wouldn’t be complete without trying out the world-famous D’ohnut from Lard Lad! Discover why Homer Simpson can’t get enough of these giant pink-glazed treats.
Sounds divine? 100%. Thanks to the food, we’re even more excited to explore Universal Studios Hollywood! If it’s your first time visiting, here’s a guide to help you plan!
5. Mummy Eats
If your tummy starts rumbling mid-ride, here’s your sign to drop by Mummy Eats down the Lower Lot for some hand-dipped Korean Corn Dogs. Trust us, these quick bites on the go will make your belly full with its deep-fried goodness and sugar coating. It’s a must-try for all our fellow foodies, especially after fighting off vengeful mummies and dinosaurs the entire day!
For added adventures, try the nine best rides at the park!
6. Studio Scoop
We scream for ice cream! Not just any ice cream, but Studio Scoop’s indulgent Chocolate Caramel Delight—a sumptuous serving of vanilla ice cream topped with malty chocolate balls and caramel popcorn and dripping in syrup! Sounds delish? We totally agree, but we also can’t get enough of its Strawberry Indulgence Milkshake, the perfect refresher after riding the thrilling attraction, Transformer: The Ride 3D, at the Lower Lot.
