Mythos in IOA was fantastic! Didn't feel like you were in the middle of a theme park. Great theming, service and food.

 

[lborne]

Mythos, Finnegans, Three Broomsticks and Leaky Cauldron. In that order.

Despite some negative comments I've read, one of my family's best meals at Universal was the Hard Rock Cafe. Good service and good food. We did get lucky and were seated in a quiet room near the back.

The absolute best meal (at Universal) of our trip earlier this month was at Finnegan's, followed closely by Confisco.

We also really enjoyed Three Broomsticks, Leaky Cauldron and Simpsons Fast Food Boulevard for quick service.

We had the most delectable baked goods at Croissant Moon, and both the Big Pink Donut and Brain Freezin' D-oh!-nut Sundae at Lard Lard were delish.

I have a trip report in progress, if you want to check it out. There's lots of photos of every place we ate, and very detailed reviews of each. Feel free to join me here:

At Citywalk we loved Pat O'Brien's and Hard Rock. Both had grear service and the atmosphere was great.

At IOA we like Mythos and Thunder Falls Terrace. I also enjoyed breakfast at Three Broomsticks.

Universal we like Finnegans. Very cute place and food was excellent.

Counter service places were not very good anywhere. There was a place by Jurassic Park that had the worse Caesar salad I ever had. It was inedible. Mels at the studios was okay.

Bubbalou's Bodacious Barbecue on Conroy Road. VERY close to Universal, delectable food, and so cheap!

Where did you eat you felt the quality has diminished?

Second that place!!!

Cheapest meal ever and so good!

 

[DenyingReality]

Really enjoyed the Hard Rock Cafe, Moe's and Panda Express. I'm sure if you're from America these places are old hat (and probably cheaper elsewhere, away from theme parks!) but we liked them better than the fares inside the parks. The Leaky Cauldron food was a little greasy but alright (and the theming of the place is, of course, awesome) and we liked the Comic Strip Cafe.

 

[elaine amj]

I really liked our meal and Three Broomsticks (ribs and chicken) and Mythos was fabulous (especially for the price).

I found Panda Express a little pricey (unless I have been out of touch with their current prices) and we did not like like our meal at the Simpson's.

Ditto. My husband & kids are still talking about their meals at Finnegan's. And if I had some of the pad thai from Confisco Grille in front of me right now, I'd put my whole face in it.

This thread is making it even more difficult for me to decide where to eat during my 2-day visit! My problem with Universal is deciding WHERE to eat instead of having to made ADRs 180 days out!
