Disney4me Posted yesterday at 07:31 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:31 PM When it comes to dining in Epic Universe, it can feel pretty overwhelming! We get it, but that’s why we’re here to help. Celestial Park We’re dining at each and every new food spot, snack stand, and restaurant in this new park to help you decide where you should go during your upcoming vacation. There are a LOT of restaurants in Celestial Park alone, so which ones are worth your time? Are any of them good breakfast spots? We’re trying out Oak & Star Tavern‘s breakfast today to let you know our full thoughts! Atmosphere The Oak & Star Tavern is located to the left of the entrance to Dark Universe. It’s a quick service restaurant that specializes in barbecue, and as it’s located in the Cosmic Garden of Celestial Park, it’s got heavy ties to nature and the cosmos. The Oak & Star Tavern In fact, you’ll even find a the hearth of an ancient, starlight-filled oak tree inside the restaurant! Oak & Star Tavern There’s lots of natural light and seating located throughout the restaurant, and you can also visit its attached bar, The Plastered Owl, from inside OR outside the restaurant. Menu For breakfast, you’ve got 7 different menu options that you’ll find each day; however, keep in mind that sometimes the restaurant could run out of certain items! ©Universal Additionally, there are 6 different sides to choose from as well. ©Universal Without further ado, it’s time to EAT! Eats We started off with the Oak and Star Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich for $11.99, which is smoked sausage, eggs, cheddar cheese, mayo, ketchup, and pan sobao bun with French fries. Oak and Star Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich The sausage here is not breakfast sausage, it’s much closer to a hot dog or smoked sausage, and this whole meal is MASSIVE. It’s certainly a great amount of food for the price. We feel the sausage could have used a little more work, because the casing around it was really hard to bite into and made eating this very messy, but the eggs were nice and soft, and the cheese and sauces all came together very well. Don’t sleep on this! The fries are fantastic — way better than what we were expecting! The barbecue seasoning on them was perfection, and we think it could be made even BETTER by dunking them in the different barbecue sauces you have on the table. It’s HUGE Then we grabbed a sweeter option, the Brûlée Hawaiian Mango Bread for $11.99, which is mango bread, pineapple, strawberry, whipped cream, and toasted coconut with scrambled eggs and bacon. Brûlée Hawaiian Mango Bread We can’t get enough of this delicious mango bread and the way it brings a unique twist on a classic American breakfast! It’s moist, perfectly toasted, and the fruit on top was so fresh, it all worked so beautifully together. Now, ours didn’t come with toasted coconut as advertised, which is something to keep in mind. Delicious! While the eggs were fluffy, they didn’t have any flavor to them, so they were pretty bland. The bacon, however, was fantastic! It was perfectly juicy, crispy without being overdone, and we think this is a great platter for the price. We’d get this time and time again! Finally, it was time for the Chorizo & Eggs for $11.99, which is spicy tomato and pepper stew, chorizo, baked eggs, feta, and brioche toast. Chorizo & Eggs This portion had our eyes bugging out of our heads! The eggs were perfectly runny, and the chorizo was incredible with a great amount of kick without being too spicy. The peppers and onions add so much flavor, the sauce is very robust with a great tomato flavor, the feta lightens the dish a bit, and the brioche is buttered fantastically. Obsessed! We think this is absolutely worth raving about, again, especially for the price! Nosh or Not This Epic Universe restaurant is a must-visit if… You’re looking for a solid, quick service option You have picky eaters, or are one yourself You want something that will help you save money by getting a big portion of food for a great price You should skip this Epic Universe spot if… You’re not planning on spending a lot of time in Celestial Park You’re not a breakfast person (but we do recommend trying lunch too!) You’re looking for a table service meal Overall We absolutely think this is a great breakfast option in the parks, and these meals are of great quality, a fantastic price, and wonderful portion sizes that will keep you full for hours while you run around the park.
