Disney4me Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 You could spend SO much time at Universal’s brand-new theme park, Epic Universe. With five themed lands, there is no shortage of attractions, shops, and restaurants to discover — and we’ve started exploring it all! Isle of Berk We’ve had the chance to experience Epic Universe ahead of its official opening on May 22nd, 2025 a few times now and we still haven’t even seen all that this new park has to offer. Over in the Isle of Berk, the How To Train Your Dragon-themed land at Epic Universe, they’re serving up mac and cheese cones — and we’re bringing you along to try one! Hooligan’s Grog & Gruel is a small snack stand located in the Isle of Berk at Epic Universe — but don’t let it fool you! Hiding here are some snacks that pack a punch. Hooligan’s Grog & Gruel At Hooligan’s, you can stop by for a thirst-quenching soda, water, or beer — including a cider straight from Sweden! Drinks But, this is where you will also find mac and cheese cones! If you’ve ever tried the mac and cheese cones at the Cozy Cone Motel in Disneyland, these are kind of like that (or like a Handwich for all you elder Disney fans out there!). There are a few on the menu — the Goldfish Mac & Cheese Cone, and PB&J Cone made with Pork, Bacon, and Jam, and a Dragon Fire Chicken Spire cone that’s full of spicy elements. Snacks We picked up the Goldfish Mac & Cheese Cone for $11.99. It’s made with creamy mac and cheese with Goldfish crackers served in a crunchy cone. Sounds like a DREAM — but how did it taste? This cone is the perfect portion for one (but we wouldn’t judge you for grabbing two). The mac and cheese is creamy and flavorful—tastes like a white cheddar blend—with each bite evenly coated, not drowning in sauce. Just enough to satisfy without being overly heavy. Now here’s the fun part: there are Goldfish crackers sprinkled on top and hidden at the bottom! It adds a playful crunch that balances so well with the smooth pasta. Mac and Cheese Cone Texture game: on point. But the cone itself? Absolute star. Think of the best parts of an Olive Garden breadstick—soft, buttery, slightly garlicky—and then add the perfect crunch on the outside. We could eat the bread cone on its own and be happy. They had other mac and cheese cone flavors, and you can bet we’ll be back to try the rest. This one definitely earned a spot on our “must-eat” list at Epic Universe! Look at those Goldfish! We can’t WAIT to bring you more inside looks at Epic Universe and will be doing so after the park opens! In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for the latest Epic Universe and Disney World news.
