Orlando's 2026 Halloween food scene splits across two very different nights out. Halloween Horror Nights 35 runs on select nights from August 28 through November 1 inside Universal Studios Florida and requires separate event admission. Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant is at Disney Springs, where no theme-park ticket is required and reservations are strongly recommended. This guide separates the locations, flags adult drinks, and uses only items we could verify for Orlando. Seasonal menus, ingredients and availability can change, so confirm before making a special trip.

indoors, because rain is likely and it is 78°. Ordered for right now.
Jack & Odd Dog
Universal's carnival-style footlong layers an all-beef hot dog with peppers, onions, cheese sauce and spicy cheese-puff crunch on a purple ube bun.
Insider note — Find it during Halloween Horror Nights 35 inside Universal Studios Florida; regular daytime park admission does not include the event.
Deathbringer Tempura Shrimp
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
A crispy shrimp-tempura roll finished with sriracha mayo and eel sauce—one of the savory, shareable bites on the HHN 35 event menu.
Insider note — Treat this as an event-night snack rather than a full dinner if you are balancing food booths with house wait times.
CarnEVIL Smash Tacos
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
Smashed cheeseburger tacos with American cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, secret sauce and sesame turn the smash-burger idea into handheld midway food.
Insider note — Two tacos make this easy to split, but the sauce and lettuce are best eaten immediately.
Death by Cheesestick
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
A giant hand-breaded mozzarella stick served with spicy marinara. It is deliberately oversized, crisp and built for the event's theatrical midway mood.
Insider note — Let it cool briefly before the first cheese pull, then eat it while the crust is still crisp.
Burnt Sando
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
This sweet sandwich combines crisp brioche, pastry cream and a crackly burnt-sugar crust for a portable crème-brûlée effect.
Insider note — It is dessert-rich; sharing leaves room for another booth.
Rigatoni Ritual Pie
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
At Louie's Italian Restaurant, garlic-butter cheese pizza is topped with baked rigatoni alla vodka, crispy sausage and pesto—a maximalist slice made for carb weather.
Insider note — Get it fresh: pasta-topped pizza loses its contrast as it sits.
Elote with spicy cheese-puff crunch
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
The HHN 35 elote offering dresses corn with a choice of classic cotija-and-Tajín flavor or a vivid spicy cheese-puff coating.
Insider note — Ask which finish is available at the booth; seasonal service can change during the run.
Meat Grinder Red Velvet
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
A horror-prop dessert of ground red-velvet cake, cream-cheese icing, raspberry sauce and puffed-rice 'maggots.' The joke is gruesome; the flavors are familiar.
Insider note — Choose this when you want a photo-ready dessert without committing to another frozen drink.
Walking Taco
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
The event's walking taco piles picadillo beef, cheese sauce, lettuce and sour cream into a corn-chip bag. A vegan version is also listed with vegan chili and dairy-free toppings.
Insider note — It is one of the easier foods to carry between zones, but stop somewhere lit before digging to the bottom.
Jack and Oddfellow Shakes
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
Two carnival-inspired frozen shakes lean into the orange-and-green visual language of HHN 35 and work as non-alcoholic dessert breaks.
Insider note — Frozen drinks melt quickly in late-summer Orlando; buy one when you can pause rather than before a long queue.
Ultimate Sin-Amon
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
A 21-and-over cocktail built with cinnamon whiskey, lemon, apple, spiced brown sugar and red beet powder for a tart, warm-spice profile.
Insider note — Alcohol service requires valid identification; hydrate between sweet event cocktails.
Jack and Oddfellow Cocktail Cans
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
The 2026 canned lineup includes fruit-forward vodka spritzes and a carnival-themed sour ale, offering a faster alternative to mixed-drink lines.
Insider note — Check the label before buying: the flavor and alcohol base differ by can.
Frostbite
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
Blanco tequila, blue curaçao, lime, simple syrup and spicy bitters make this an icy-looking cocktail with real heat, finished with gummy dentures.
Insider note — The spice is part of the recipe, not just the garnish; skip it if chile heat is not your thing.
Keyholder Bar: Frank's Fizz and Bleeding Eye
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
The HHN 35 Keyholder Bar serves exclusive cocktails including Frank's Fizz and Bleeding Eye, but access is limited to qualifying Universal Orlando hotel guests, annual passholders and Universal Rewards cardmembers.
Insider note — Eligibility does not replace Halloween Horror Nights admission—you still need the event ticket and should carry proof of qualification.
Twisted Tater Chips
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
A fan-favorite cone of thin, crisp potato chips seasoned with ranch-and-vinegar flavor: salty, tangy and practical for walking.
Insider note — Eat from the top and keep the cone upright; the best-seasoned pieces settle toward the bottom.
Fried Pickles
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
Crisp fried pickle spears arrive with sriracha aioli, landing between bright acidity, crunch and creamy heat.
Insider note — Share them while hot; fried pickles soften faster than most midway snacks.
Booo! Pumpkin Cream Ale
Raglan Road's nitro pumpkin cream ale brings light beer together with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla notes for an autumn pint.
Insider note — This is an alcoholic seasonal pour; availability can change and valid identification is required.
Raglan Ghostly Guinness Pie
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
A savory pie with braised beef, wild mushrooms and Guinness gravy, presented with a Halloween grin for a hearty fall dinner.
Insider note — Order it when you want the most traditionally pub-like main on the seasonal list.
Samhain Sangria
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
A fruit-led seasonal sangria designed to balance sweetness and acidity rather than drink like a heavy dessert cocktail.
Insider note — Samhain is pronounced roughly 'sow-in'; this one is for guests 21 and older.
Proper Little Pumpkin
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
Raglan Road's signature cheesecake gets a pumpkin-spice twist and a petite pumpkin presentation over chocolate crumbs.
Insider note — A compact dessert is useful after the richer Guinness pie or whiskey-glazed ribs.
Black Barrel Whiskey Ribs
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
A half rack of slow-cooked pork ribs is coated in Jameson Black Barrel whiskey glaze and served with Guinness glaze.
Insider note — This is a full entrée rather than a tasting bite; plan your other seasonal orders around it.
Bandaged Bangers
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP.
Mini sausages wrapped in golden pastry become edible mummies, served with a bright cherry-buffalo dipping sauce.
Insider note — The shareable format makes this a strong starter for a table ordering several Halloween specials.
Irish Pumpkin Shake
Photo details
Resized, cropped for display and converted to WebP. The adaptation is released under the same licence.
The pub's signature Baileys shake is chilled with pumpkin spice and topped with creamy cinnamon cold foam.
Insider note — Because the shake contains Baileys, it is for guests 21 and older; ask the restaurant about alternatives for younger guests.

Not necessarily. Dates, ingredients, booth locations and availability can change or sell out. Check the official event or restaurant menu on the day you visit.
