As much as I wanted The Three Broomsticks to be as wonderful as the rest of the WWoHP, I can't deny that the food was pretty bad. The theming is awesome and the queues for ordering and picking up your food are well done. The attendants are very helpful. But the food is mediocre at best. We ate breakfast and dinner there. Breakfast was cold and nothing to write home about. The shepherd's pie was weird tasting and had been sitting so long the mashed potatoes on top were crunchy. The rotisserie chicken was very dry. I'm sorry to say that I won't go back. - Chris Hall This diner knows what it's doing! The assistants here are GREAT! SIDENOTE: This is the best line set up I have ever seen. The line stops when you see the registers. The registers are numbered 1-7or8 and so are were the pick up lanes (Which were separate from where you order). The attendant points you to a register with no one at it so you can order your food and hear what they're saying then they point you over to the same numbered pick up line which at most has one person in front of you. From here you are directed to a small hallway which leads into the dining hall. One of the attendants then helps you to an empty table which is been wiped off and is ready to sit down at. This eliminates the hassle of finding the table, tripping over kids trying to get to your table, not being able to sit at a sanitary place, not having enough chairs, etc! Will eat here at every opportunity! Oh, and of course the food was AMAZING. One of, if not the, best theme park meal I have ever eaten. GET HERE EARLY! It's a must. They open 10 and we got there at 11:30 no problem. - Terri Pierce Loved the pumpkin juice fizz. We ate here twice during our visit & both times we were impressed with the food & how fast we were served. Very impressive considering the line-ups for everything else in WWOHP. - Shari Lockyer The theme is fun for fans: the restaurant serves food named in the books in a setting described in the books and seen in the movies. Our family had Butterbeer (we liked frozen better than regular but both were good), Fish and Chips, Cornish pasties, and Shepherd's Pie. Of the three entries, we all liked the Cornish pasties the most. The food quality is typical for a Universal theme park. Be sure to watch the hog's head move its head in the adjacent Hog's Head Pub! - Devra Small Fish and chips were excellent. Also the rot. chicken. The cornish pasties were small and dried out-worst buy in the place. Butterbeer is good, but sweet. The frozen even more so-I couldn't finish mine. Theming is awesome though. - Brandy Schroeder I don't like spending tons of money on food at theme parks, or doing long sit-down dinners. That said, this was an excellent meal for a theme park. So good in fact that my wife and I went back for an evening dinner without the kids. I had the fish and chips both times. She ate the Chicken Salad. And I had Butterbeer. Which is addictive. and causes withdrawal symptoms. and I need a fix now. - Charles Reichley We had a complementary breakfast as part of our vacation package and it was fantastic. We also had dinner there on another night. The wait was a bit long but the food is excellent. Once the opening week fervor dies down, and the waiting time is reduced it will be even better. Ambiance is fantastic. pay attention, there are little details that are easy to miss. - Melissa Cheran More attraction and restaurant ratings:
