REVIEW: If We Could Only Pick ONE Meal From This Epic Universe Restaurant, Here’s What We’d Choose

While creeping around Dark Universe with our favorite monster friends, we were dying of hunger, so we darkened the doorway of Das Stakehaus.

The Portal to Dark Universe

Okay, so we might not be as cool as The Invisible Man or Dracula at Epic Universe, but that doesn’t mean we can’t eat like them! We tried a new snack at this vampire-owned restaurant, and we’re bringing you all the details so you can decide if you need to put a stake in this snack.

Das Stakehaus was built over ancient catacombs and is meant for those who like a dark atmosphere and a creepy aesthetic. You’ll find most items served on a stake (you would think the vampires would want to avoid stakes) and sometimes themed to the max, like the dessert we had that was supposed to look like maggots.

Das Stakehaus

We ordered the Fish on a Stake for $22.99, and spoiler alert — we’d do it again.

Fish on a Stake

This dish features a blackened salmon steak accompanied by charred green onion mashed potatoes, roasted baby carrots, acorn squash, and crispy maitake mushrooms.

Our salmon

The salmon was cooked just how we like it, and we loved that we could see the grill marks on it. It had a blackening seasoning, but it wasn’t overly coated, so we could taste the actual fish. Now, this might not have been the most creative salmon we’ve ever had, but for a quick-service option, we loved it.

Yum!

What were the stars of the dish? The potatoes and veggies! The potatoes were creamy but not overly decadent, bringing a lighter feeling to the dish. The root vegetables were cooked well and seasoned beautifully. We loved how this dish was filling, but we didn’t feel stuffed at the end. Overall, it was a lighter dish with classic elements done well. We’re definitely having the salmon again because finding filling and lighter dishes in a theme park is not an easy feat.

Veggies and potatoes

We might not be vampires, but they run a great restaurant, and in the blazing heat of Dark Universe, it’s a great spot to relax and cool down. Make sure you’re following DFB for all the details you need for your Epic Universe trip.
