Universal Studios theme park food review for Three Broomsticks in the Island of Adventure Park

Universal Studios is one of those parks that allows you to embrace a wonderful story and experience those environments that you saw in the movies. One theme they are famous for is what they have been doing for the Harry Potter franchise. So needless to say I was excited to enter Hogsmeade and found the Three Broomsticks. This is my first impression and review of the food at Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade which is located in Universal Studios Island of Adventure park.

The Three Broomsticks Atmosphere…

The place is fabulously themed. It fits right into the Harry Potter theme and for those Harry Potter nerds, this is the place where Harry had his first taste of the famous sweet drink Butterbeer. The theming is amazing you will feel like you are right in the movie.

The place features amazing details such as weather wood beams, balconies that contain a lot of curious objects, and then the thing that makes the whole place pop is the cast-iron chandeliers. It’s a fantastic setting that is certainly a must experience while you eat your fantastic meal.

The Three Broomsticks Menu

I was a little surprised to see that they do offer a breakfast menu that is served until 10:30 am daily. We did not arrive in time for this as we entered the restaurant toward 5 pm that evening. But they seem to have an amazing menu for breakfast featuring items like Pancake Breakfast, Porridge Breakfast, English Breakfast, and American Breakfast.

They have an adult and child version of the breakfast with prices between $17.99 and $12.99.

Our review of the food at the Three Broomsticks.

They had many options. At first, I didn’t think I would have a very good meal. After all let’s be real sometimes theme park food is a hit or miss sometimes, but I was secretly praying that this would be the one meal that won me over in the park.

They had several options including fish, chicken, ribs, pie platters, shepherds pie, and more. I chose the ribs platter. I was so happy I did. And of course, I could not order a meal without the sweet delicious drink they call Butterbeer.

I got two ribs, potatoes, and corn on the cob. I was blown away. The potatoes were fabulous. They were well cooked, soft, and had a nice seasoning to them that did not require any ketchup to eat. It was fantastic.

I buttered the corn and that too was fabulous. It was delicious. The ribs were also fantastic. The seasoning provided a nice delicious taste although I could have used more barbeque. I was fine with it, I gobbled them all up just like any wizard would do.

Our official theme park food score

Our Score: 9.2

The food was fantastic for me. It not only was delicious, but it hit the spot and was exactly what I was crazing on my crazy vacation. It is always a blessing when you are satisfied and were able to enjoy a delicious meal at a theme park. This was it, I would highly recommend going here if you are ever in the park and are looking for an idea for dinner.

What I liked about the meal.

The seasoning on the food was fantastic. It provided the flavor I was craving and wasn’t too spicy. The ribs I had a little bit of a kick, but it wasn’t something that anyone would complain about it was perfect. The amount of food was pleasing as well. You will certainly be stuffed when you finish up this great dish. I don’t know about the other items on the menu, but the ribs platter was a win for me.

What I did not like about the meal.

There wasn’t much that I did not like about the meal. This was one of the rare times I was completely HAPPY with everything I got. It was fantastic. The only thing I would suggest is to ask for more bbq sauce while ordering so that you can dip the ribs into it. I did not do so but could have used a little more.

My Overall Experience At Three Broomsticks.

Overall I loved everything about it from the experience to the food. I did not have to make any reservations, I just walked in and got in line. The line wasn’t very long, we were ordered within 10 minutes of walking into the restaurant. We ordered and then went to the service line where they prepare and give you a tray with your food.

We had no issue finding a table to sit down on and eat. The only warning I would give is the chairs are super low to the ground so if you are tall, be prepared, that’s a long way to sit down, I nearly fell over trying to sit. That incident had people laughing so it was fine with me lol.
