REVIEW: “One of the Best I’ve Had in a Long Time.” We’ll Never Stop Thinking About This Epic Universe Baked Potato

Epic Universe is full of dozens of new food stops, and it’s our mission to try them all so you know what’s worth it on your vacation!

The Portal to Dark Universe

Dark Universe is one of the lands you may not expect to find some pretty fantastic food offerings, and while we haven’t been impressed by everything we’ve had here, we just tried something from The Burning Blade Tavern that we’ll be thinking about for WEEKS to come!

The Burning Blade Tavern is located in the back part of the land — just look for the big windmill that is occasionally on fire!

The Burning Blade Tavern

This is a bar location that has a few select dining options, and we recently tried the Charred Loaded Potato for $11.49. This is hickory char-crusted and has Monterey Jack, sour cream, jalapeño bacon, and chives as toppings.

Charred Loaded Potato

We’ll be DREAMING about this potato for months to come! Everything here was portioned perfectly, and honestly, it was so incredible we couldn’t believe it was from a theme park — it tasted much more on par with something we’d find at a fancier restaurant in the city.

WOW!

It’s charred so perfectly that even the skin is infused with delicious flavor, and the jalapeño bacon added a fantastic heat and the smokiness from the char really helped to elevate it even more. We couldn’t finish this even though it had been hours since we’d last eaten, so it’s most certainly shareable between 2-3 people.
