If you’re part of a fandom, you know there are infinite ways to express your love for it. You can dress up as characters; you can write fanfic; you can meet up with other fans and talk about how much you love your fandom. At Universal Fan Fest Nights, you can explore one-of-a-kind immersive experiences based on the fandom you love and know through and through.
But my all-time favorite way to express my fandom? It’s gotta be by eating it.
This year at Universal Fan Fest Nights, Universal has cooked up an exclusive menu of sweet treats, fizzy beverages and savory meals. The UFFN menu is only available during event nights — that’s select nights, April 23–May 16. So if this menu makes your stomach growl, make sure you snag your event tickets STAT.
Here’s everything you can eat and drink based on your favorite fandoms at Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026.
Scooby-Doo x Universal Monsters | ONE PIECE | The Wizarding World of Harry Potter | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon | DUNGEONS & DRAGONS | SUPER NINTENDO WORLD | Universal Fan Fest Nights Dining Pass
SCOOBY-DOO X UNIVERSAL MONSTERS
The Universal Monsters are nothing short of iconic — and there’s nothing short about this hot dog inspired by them. The Universal Monster 22” Dog has these titans of classic cinema represented in each and every bite. The shareable handheld is topped with pulled pork (inspired by the Wolf Man), kale cabbage slaw (that’s The Creature from the Black Lagoon), fried garlic chips (Dracula, of course), spicy pickles (Frankenstein’s Monster) and a streak of white BBQ sauce (just like the Bride of Frankenstein’s signature ‘do).
The monsters are going toe-to-toe with Mystery, Inc. on the Universal backlot and the menu this year. If you’ve got the munchies during Universal Fan Fest Nights, you might be primed for the Super Shaggy Sandwich: that’s a towering club sandwich with a giant selection of meats, cheese, potato chips, and other toppings. And, of course, no excursion in The Mystery Machine is complete without Scooby Snacks! At Universal Fan Fest Nights, those will be a honey cinnamon graham dog-tag cookie and a chocolate paw print cookie.
The Scooby-Doo and Universal Monsters-themed menus will be available for purchase at their immersive backlot experience. Get the full scoop on Scooby-Doo Meets the Universal Monsters: Mystery on the Backlot at Universal Fan Fest Nights right here.
Voodoo Doughnut is getting in on the Universal Fan Fest Nights fun, too. The Universal CityWalk Hollywood doughnut shop will serve a limited-edition The Mystery Machine Flower Doughnut (raised doughnut, filled with sour lemon filling) and the Scooby Snack Doughnut (a dog bone-shaped treat filled with peanut butter Bavarian cream, dipped in maple or vanilla with a single peanut butter cookie and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs. Also available in a peanut-free, cinnamon-filled version.)
ONE PIECE
The beloved anime adventureseries is back for another delicious year of Universal Fan Fest Nights fun with an expanded menu — and expanded location. And this year, Hollywood and Dine will turn into Sanji’s Galley, and be completely taken over by an exclusive ONE PIECE-inspired menu.
The flavors are inspired by Captain Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew’s epic voyages. Several dishes are named for members of this beloved band of pirates. Luffy’s Meat on the Bone is a sweet-chili ginger pork (on a bone-resembling skewer) served on a bed of pork and kimchi fried rice, while Franky’s Loco Moco Burger is an all-beef burger topped with pork, onion rings, fried egg and miso cola gravy served with star-shaped tater tots. I personally can’t wait to get my paws on Brook’s Spicy Katsu, which is crispy chicken katsu with a spicy sauce served with white rice and cabbage slaw. And Jinbe’s Watermelon Salad, a blend of marinated watermelon, soba noodles, cucumber, carrots, seaweed and ponzu dressing, is a refreshing dish that’ll keep you energized all night.
The ONE PIECE-inspired sweets are can’t-miss dishes, too. Get your crew a Pirate Bounty Funnel Cake (topped with toffee sauce, white chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream, candy treasures and a ONE PIECE wanted poster). The already-iconic Luffy’s Straw Hat may look cute, but it’s also delicious: it’s a salted caramel-filled mousse dome with vanilla bean sponge and praline filling. And that’s not the only ONE PIECE headgear that’s been dessert-ified this year: The fan-favorite Chopper Cupcake, made with vanilla sponge cake, cotton candy crisps and cotton candy buttercream, is back for another year of Universal Fan Fest Nights fun.

Thirsty? Lucky for you, over in Laemmle Courtyard, across from Hollywood and Dine, is the ONE PIECE: Grand Pirate Den for Universal Fan Fest Nights. It’ll also serve up several non-alcoholic beverages inspired by the Straw Hat Crew.
Over on Universal CityWalk,NBC Sports Grill & Brew has some ONE PIECE-inspired menu items up its sleeve, too. Luffy’s Hamburg Steak is a classic Japanese Hamburg steak (remember, Luffy is obsessed with meat) — that’s two charbroiled beef patties with gravy and mashed potatoes. Or channel Zoro with the Three Sword Chimichurri Burger, a three-patty smashburger tower with green chimichurri and jalapeno for his signature green hair. And finally, Sanji’s Curly Brow Shrimp Pasta, which has two Cajun shrimp skewers on top of spicy Cajun alfredo pasta.
THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER
Guests will once again be able to experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter during Universal Fan Fest Nights this year, and the Three Broomsticks is expanding its lineup of tasty British fare. Several classic British eats exclusive to UFFN are returning from last year, plus a couple new savory additions. Try a Scotch Egg, which is a quintessential British dish: It’s a boiled egg covered in savory pork coating, served with grainy mustard. Or try the new vegetarian option, the Welsh Rarebit, which is a rustic sourdough baked with a savory cheddar cheese sauce.
Get ready to experience the wizarding world like you never have before. Read the Discover Universal behind-the-scenes article on Forbidden Forest: Search for the Hippogriff right here.
Personally, when I’m at the Three Broomsticks, I’ll be starting with dessert. There are two desserts at the top of my must-try list, starting with the Three Broomsticks Dessert Flight, which includes a mini sticky toffee pudding with Butterbeer cream, a mini Victoria sponge and a mini banoffee tart. To continue the celebration of the magical creature you’ll be rescuing during Forbidden Forest: Search for the Hippogriff, be sure to try the Hippogriff Brown Sugar & Oat Trifle. This tasty treat is a spiced sponge cake layered with maple vanilla bean chantilly and a brown sugar oats crumble topped with a Hippogriff silhouette cookie and pumpkin sprinkles.
PRETTY GUARDIAN SAILOR MOON
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon and her Sailor Guardians are taking over Cocina Mexicana with a Japanese-inspired menu. The Sailor Moon Bento is a four-piece dish: spicy tuna onigiri, potato salad, pickled cucumbers and octopus sausage. Pair that with a Moonlight Love Sparkle — that’s a lemon-lime soda with dragon fruit syrup, mango star gummies, dragon fruit popping pearls and star sprinkles. For dessert, look no further than Tuxedo Mask’s Raspberry Rose Sandwich Cookie, which is a black chocolate sandwich cookie with rose raspberry almond filling, topped with a golden item and a white mask cookie.
But that’s not all! Just across the way at the DreamWorks cart, try the Moon Scepter Churro, inspired by Sailor Moon’s iconic Moon Scepter. The pink sugar-coated churro is filled with berries. It’s so cute, you’ll need to pose with it before you bite into it — but you’ll be very happy you bit into it. You can also get a Mystery Box Cupcake, which will have one of five different cupcakes inside of it, each themed to a different Sailor Guardian: Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus. All the cupcakes are vanilla bean cake studded with strawberries, filled with strawberry jam and topped with vanilla bean buttercream.
The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen on Universal CityWalk is getting in on the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon action, too. At this eatery, you can order the Tuxedo Mask Milkshake (that’s a chocolate and vanilla shake with red sprinkles).
DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
Back for another year running, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS is about to fill your imagination with endless possibilities — and fill your stomach with endless happiness. At The First Roll Tavern, located on the second story patio on the Lower Lot, you can pick up bites and bevs inspired by the two-year Universal Fan Fest Nights experience, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Secrets of Waterdeep. There’s the simple-yet-hits-the-spot Hunter’s Mark, a roast beef sandwich with cheese and arugula, and the spicy Cockatrice Hot Wings, both of which will taste oh-so-satisfying after another long day of fighting baddies.
And this year’s D&D-inspired desserts are especially photogenic. First, there’s the Dragon Egg Cheesecake: chocolate hazelnut cheesecake (um, yes, absolutely) served in a random color of chocolate dragon egg shell. Perhaps the wildest looking item on the Universal Fan fest Nights menu for 2026 is the Gelatinous Cube, a sour blue raspberry gummy encasing candy bones and weapons. The First Roll Tavern will also serve up a slate of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages that’ll look familiar to those who imbibed at last year’s event.
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Secrets of Waterdeep is an immersive, role-playing experience like you’ve never had. Read all about what to expect from it right here.
Over on CityWalk, VIVO Italian Kitchen is whipping out its 20-sided die, too! The sit-down restaurant is getting in on the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS fun with the King Bruenor Battlehammer’s Stew, which is made of chicken drumsticks served with carrots, potatoes and onions in tomato sauce. Pair it with the two-tone Purple Worm Cocktail, made with bourbon, lemon juice, honey, orange bitters and pineapple juice with a red wine float
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD
It’s only sensible to pair the celebration of colorful Yoshis in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD with colorful Yoshi beverages, right? During Universal Fan Fest Nights, guests can enjoy three different flavors of smoothies inspired by these beloved Super Mario characters: Yoshi’s Mango Banana Smoothie, Yoshi’s Apple Melon Smoothie andYoshi’s Blueberry Ube Smoothie, all of which are available at Toadstool Cafe. They’re so delicious, they’ll have you squeaking out a very Yoshi-esque, Wahoo! You can also get an absolutely adorable, limited-edition Yoshi & Egg Drink Bottle.
Universal Fan Fest Nights Dining Pass
But wait, there’s more! If you can’t wait to eat your way through UFFN like me, the Universal Fan Fest Nights Dining Pass might be just for you. For a flat price, this pass will get you two eligible entree items, and four eligible side, snack, dessert or beverage items, plus the swanky commemorative Universal Fan Fest Nights Dining Pass credential and lanyard. All eligible entrees are identified on menus with a blue and white Dining Pass logo; the additional select items are marked with a yellow and blue Dining Pass logo.
