Lard lad Donuts (Maple Bacon):
HUGE donut for only $10! Not as sweet as I thought it would be but still pretty sweet. Tasted super fresh. 8/10

Toadstool Cafe food review:

- Toadstool Cheesy Garlic Knots (VG) - $5.99
Mini mushroom shaped knots brushed with garlic butter, parmesan cheese, parsley and a side of marinara sauce

Rating: 6/10 - A bit dry and lacking in garlic flavor.

- Super Mushroom Soup (VG)- $19.99
Creamy mushroom soup with Super Mushroom crackers
(Mushroom Bowl included with purchase)

Rating: 9/10 - Mushroom lovers, this one is a must have! Very creamy!

- Yoshi's Favorite Fruit and Veggie Salad(VG)- $13.99
Mixed greens, strawberries, star fruit, blueberries, pineapple, Yoshi egg croutons and raspberry vinaigrette

Rating: 8/10 - Decent sized salad with lots of fruit. Star fruit and Yoshi egg croutons are a perfect match for this salad but the croutons were a bit too dry/hard.

- Chef Toad Short Rib Special - $24.99
Braised short rib, creamy goat cheese polenta, and red wine reduction

Rating: 7/10 - Short rib was tender and the red win reduction was good but portion size is on the smaller side for a main entree.

- Mario Mini Burger Adventure Set - $14.99
Cheeseburger, truffle French fries, corn on cob, broccoli and a coin cookie.

Rating: 5/10 - Keeping in mind this is a kids meal, I found the burger was dry, cheese wasn't melted, and bun was not toasted and very plain overall. The fries were the only thing that saved this meal. Asthetic was very pleasing.

- Overall, took about 30 minutes to receive our food after ordering. Food and Cafe was very astheticly pleasing! Reservations are a must as the Toadstool Cafe gets fully booked very quickly!

Frozen Butterbeer and Butterbeer Ice cream:
The frozen butterbeer was really refreshing and perfect for a hot day. The drink itself was very sweet and tasted like butterscotch cream soda. Wish it wasn't as sweet! The ice cream was vanilla base with swirls of butterbeer syrup spread throughout. Most bites barely tasted of butterbeer so was a bit disappointed. Overall 6/10.

Power Up Café:
Snacks were super cute and lines moved quickly. Super Mushroom Calzone was delicious and would definitely get it again! Lemon Lime soda itself was OK but the 1-up dissolving power up was really cool to see and I loved the end result. 8/10 overall.

Minion Café: Food tasted great and portion sizes were decent. Loaded nachos and pulled pork grilled cheese really hit the spot for late dinner. Ceasar salad with chicken was good as well (I asked for light dressing) and I would recommend it! I wanted to try the Nutella banana pudding but they were sold out. Overall 8/10.
