Despite the bad reviews and the BS rule that you have to order a plate each if you're drinking, I really wanted to check this place out coz I'm a huge Potter geek.
There was no line when we got there at around 6-6:30pm. We were a group of 6 and so had to sit outside which sucked coz there's nothing Potter-like about sitting outside.
The food... is disgusting. The flatbread "pizza" was a disgrace. The poutine was so sweet - like how do you f that up?!! The only thing that was apparently edible was the fried chicken, though it was dry. At least have normal pub food like fries, chicken tenders, fish n chips, nachos - we would have all been more happy with that!!
I would give this place 2* but the waitress redeemed the night for us and the pitchers of booze were pretty yummy. I especially liked the Marauder's pitcher to share that they light on fire. The potion one was good too. Avoid the "better beer" aka Butterbeer - so gross and nothing like the one they serve at Universal Studios!
