After a few hours in Epic Universe, four of us were hungry. Hungry! After a short search for a place to eat, we hit on The Oak & Star Tavern. Inside, there were two greeters, who were going to send us to a table, but we asked to sit outside, and they directed us. We had to scan the Q code to order, which can be interesting with four.
I had a Ceasar salad with chicken, which was fine, as were the burgers that the others ordered. My wine was in a plastic glass, but we were outside. Overall the food was satisfying and good. The missing element was the lack of any personal touch. But given the opportunity, I would stop in again.

The food was actually pretty good but the portions are small and prices high.

Warning the ribs (they are good) are half the size of regular ribs in the real world.

The bbq platter we had was barely enough for four. It’s really for two adults and to children. Remember that when ordering.

They also only have the coke freestyle machines. I personally do not like those as the drinks are never the right taste but if you aren’t interested into mixing flavors then it really wouldn’t matter.

They had two people singing, they were good and very amusing. If you aren’t interested in that, they have another side of the restaurant that has just the chatter of other guests.

Probably the best deal we found at epic. Get the platter with 2 meats and one side to split if there’s two of you. DO NOT get the feast that costs $75. You’ll actually save money if you just get 2 platters and order 2 more sides on the side. The mango bread was easily the best thing here. Beef brisket and chicken were decent, the bbq baked beans were decent, the cauliflower was not good to me but my gf liked it a lot and she likes cauliflower so only get it if you’re a cauliflower fan. There were 4 different bbq sauces to try on the table but I was really only a fan of the sweet because it tasted the most like a normal bbq sauce.

I got the eggs with french fries came delivered tonight Cool cast iron-like skillet. The eggs were cooked perfect The french fries were okay The bacon was outstanding. Someone else ordered the biscuits and gravy and it was complete garbage. Eggs were okay but the biscuit overcooked the gravy tasted like some weird concoction that we would ever eat. Stick with the lunch at the spot.

We ate at Oak & Star Tavern for both breakfast and lunch. The staff was friendly both times. However, I was not a huge fan of the food. I got the sausage and gravy for breakfast and found the overall meal was extremely salty. I like the little bits of sausage in the gravy more than I did the bacon. For Lunch I ordered the Huli Huli Pulled Pork with Three Cheese Mac & Cheese and it was okay. The flavor was a bit one note. I did love the banana pudding though!

We loved this breakfast stop in Epic Universe. We all chose the brûlée Hawaiian mango bread. It comes with Mango bread, pineapple, strawberry, whipped cream, toasted coconut with scrambled eggs and bacon for $11.99. We ordered extra mango bread, which I highly recommend as the mango bread was the favorite. The bacon is a bbq bacon and is sweet. This was a great value and great quality. The menu is scanned from the table and you order online. Food is brought to your table and the drinks are self serve.

Great spot inside Epic Universe!
Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised…
They had live music around noon, and the guys performing were really good and funny.
The staff was attentive and friendly. There’s plenty of seating both inside and outside, and the fireplace in the entryway gives the place a warm, welcoming feel.
The quick-serve bar setup makes ordering easy, and having Coca-Cola Freestyle machines is a fun bonus for drink refills. The food came out fresh and fast, and the overall vibe felt relaxed yet lively.

Best of all, at the time of writing they even carry Left Hand Milk Stout on tap, huge win! Perfect spot to take a break, grab a bite, and enjoy some great atmosphere inside.

The Oak and Star is a sit-down restaurant that gives you a chance to come out of the heat and regather yourself in a forest-themed, dimly lit setting. Choose a table or booth with seating just inside the door, near a fire place, at the bar, or around the stage. Then it’s just a matter of scanning the QR code, placing your orders, and chillaxing while you wait for your food to be delivered. Our party elected to sample some food just before 11:00 while crowds were low and we knew service would be quick. All in all a good choice if you enjoy live music, large platters of food you can share, and adult-sized kid meals.

This was the best brisket I have ever have, and I lived in Texas. I am shocked by the negative reviews, the brisket was the juiciest and most tender I have ever had, and fatty just the way I like it. The Mac and cheese had a great flavor and was super cheesy, and the mango bread was AMAZING!! Easily my favorite meal on this whole trip, including DisneyWorld, and the best barbecue I have had, which stuns me. I cannot believe theme park food tastes that good. The interior is beautiful to boot.

Okay, I’m going to be honest here.
I was having an amazing day at Epic Universe, and it was time for lunch. The original plan was to try the pizza at Pizza Moon. We were curious since the reviews are extremely positive.

Unfortunately, the line was horrible, and standing under the sun for an hour just wasn’t feasible. So, we walked right next door and discovered the Oak and Star Tavern.

It turned out to be a great decision. We walked in and were immediately greeted by an attendant who took the time to explain the menu and how to order for faster service.

We found a table, scanned the QR code, and placed our order. I got the two meat plate, and my son had the pulled pork sandwich. For sides, I chose mac and cheese, and he went with the fries.

A server brought our food and yes, they use real silverware!

The brisket was good, not dry at all. The ribs were average, and the mac and cheese was solid as well. I was satisfied, although the portion size was on the smaller side.

My son said his sandwich was really good, and the fries were amazing.

All in all, I’ll definitely try this place again on my next visit. I can’t wait until this park is added to the annual pass, because I’ll be here often.

Before I forget: the restaurant is huge, with plenty of tables, great decor, and a very cold A/C.
