Awesome experience. The wait line is too long. The food is great but greasy to be honest. Nevertheless enjoyed every bit since the ambient was good. They had a good number of options and swapped items if you had food restrictions. So kind! Totally a Hogsmeade vibe. I thought they were short in stuff compared to the flood of people coming in. Not so clean I must say.
An average theme park dining experience. Obviously great for being a Harry Potter location but just average as far as dining establishment.Lines are long, as to be expected in the Harry Potter world, and can get warm. You are filtered into an area where you will be assigned by an attendant to one of a half dozen or so lines where you will place your order. Once the order is placed you will line up in the pickup line corresponding to the number of the cashier you ordered at.Menu options are not expansive, but should suit most people. The food comes out in a reasonable amount of time once the order is placed. This is expected as the food is mass produced for the limited menu. Unfortunately this means you may receive some dried out chicken or turkey as we did. The ribs remain tender, assisted by the slathering of barbecue sauce.The corn on the cob was mediocre at best and quite dried out when we received it. Decorative to be sure with the husk remaining on, but pulled up.The lemonade and pear cider were good. Seating looks quite crowded but is managed by seating attendants, so there is no need to fight for a table or send anyone from your group to “reserve” one. They clean and turn over the table quickly and efficiently.Very average dining experience in a fun environment.
I give this restaurant 5 stars for the experience. Be prepared to wait in four separate lines. One to get in the building. The second to get to a cashier. The third to pick up your food, and finally the final line to wait to be seated. We went once for lunch and another time for breakfast. Both times the food was excellent. The chef personally came out for an allergy. I was very impressed. I highly recommend eating here if you can handle the lines.
My mum and I ate here before riding Hagrid's motorbike adventure. Most of the food was meaty, but I'm not the biggest carnivore, but the shepherd's pie sounded good since I like mashed potatoes, beef, and other stuff in it, despite never having it. Well, I LOVE IT! Best part was it was big enough to share between the 2 of us (it came with salad) and only like $12! Literally the best deal for quality theme park food. Will be back when I go back to islands.
We went the the Three Broomsticks for a breakfast reservation on 3/15/22. I paid $144 at the hotel for this reservation but when we got to the restaurant we had to wait in a long line to get in. The issue with that is why have reservations if you have to wait in line. It went pretty quickly so not a major issue, but found out half the people didn’t have a reservation. What made me the most irritated is when we ordered our food the bill came out to $91. Why am I spending an extra $53 for?! There was absolutely no incentive to get the reservation except it cost a lot more.
So unexpectedly delicious! Theme park restaurants are usually hit and miss, but not here. The quality is top notch. Juicy, flavorful chicken, crunchy and well seasoned fish n chips, incredible roasted potatoes, juicy corn on the cob, and crispy wedge fries. Plus the pumpkin juice has great spices and it's so yummy. The line moves faster than you'd think, so don't be turned off if the line is out the door, it's so worth the wait!
Atmosphere was A+. I got the chicken and ribs combo, which came with corn on the cob and roasted potatoes. The chicken was just ok, but the ribs were very good. The corn tasted like it was fresh off the stalk in the middle of summer ! It was delicious. The butterbeer was delightful.
We did not actually eat at this restaurant, so I can't comment on the quality of the food. We tried to eat dinner here at 5:30PM, but our kids are picky eaters and don't eat meat, and they were out of mac & cheese, even though it's on the menu. We were so disappointed. This actually ruined our evening because most other restaurant in the park close at 6PM and so we spent another hour running from one restaurant to another, trying to find something open that might have mac & cheese or pizza.
I was pleasantly surprised to have a vegan option available on the menu here. Apparently, I just happened to be the first to order the brand new menu item on the day we visited. The vegan jackfruit and mushroom pie platter. I thought it was very tasty. Flavor and seasonings were really good and the crust on top was nice and crispy. The side salad itself was pretty basic but that’s fine. The menu description said it had radishes but mine had none. That would be my only very minor issue.The chef even came over to get my opinion and see how I liked it. That was a nice personal touch which showed that they cared about making it a quality dish.While the lines here were long it moved pretty quickly and efficiently. The decor and atmosphere were spot on with so many fun touches. It made for a great meal experience all around.
If you choose to dine while in the theme parks, you already know the prices will be slightly higher than outside of them, but you don't get the great atmosphere and incredible themed food! I always like to order the half rotisserie chicken platter from the Three Broomsticks inside Hogsmeade Village and Islands of Adventure. It is a delicious and hearty meal if you need some sustenance from the heat and walking around all day. Grab a frozen Butterbeer or a Pear Cider to cool you off. I thoroughly enjoy the theming of this restaurant and try to make time to eat here every time I visit. If you go around 2:30pm, you'll wait a lot less time and be able to find a table much more easily than if you go at the lunch rush. Or wait until dinner time while the Hogwarts Castle Lightshow is going on and grab a bite to eat at sundown. Awesome experience.
