BOG Lunch and Dinner are the same menu??

[ErinsMommy]

Is that right? When did that change as we LOVED and prefer the sandwiches

 

[Sargeant Tibbs]

Yeah, it's a huge bummer. It's also prix fixe, making it very expensive for what doesn't seem like very great offerings. Last time I was there for lunch was December 2019 and it was still a la carte. I think it changed very soon after that.

They are not doing the QS lunch at this time.

Do you mean it's only prix fixe because of the pandemic?

 

[kevgraub]

Since they reopened (maybe before?), lunch and dinner have been the prix fixe for both lunch and dinner, with the same menu and same cost. And ADRs for both are extremely difficult to get. I would be very surprised to see them go back to the QS option for lunch unless they start having trouble filling the place at the current prices.

Sort of. They had more demand then they had space and many were just coming in for lunch and just ordering a cupcake. Nothing wrong with that, as it was allowed. But it took up table space that another party may have ordered an entire meal. Being closed for Co-Vid gave them an easy way to make the change.
Unless lunch demand goes down, I don't expect to see it go back to ala carte.

I recall all the cupcake arguments. I've had lunch or dinner there every trip since it opened, and it was the best QS in all of wdw until Satuli. When dinner was changed to prix fixe, we stopped having dinner and stuck with lunch. Now that lunch is the same as dinner we won't be back for a very long time. Not that it matters to Disney. People are still desperate to get in.

On the upside, I don't have to stress over the ADR.

I've moved on to Toothsome over at Citywalk. Never been, going in a month, and looking forward to eating there the most out of any restaurants in my two upcoming trips to Universal and wdw. I hope it can be my new BOG.

Yeah, that's how it's been, but I will say the food is still very good if you are okay with the.I ahd dinner there last week and it was fantastic! I did like the QS lunch though. I'd like to see some items like that being offered at Gaston's Tavern maybe.

I still like the pre-fixe menu if you get the steak, but I can totally see it not being worth it if you don't. The older menu had more options. BOG is still one of my favorite places at WDW, but I will say that Universal has a very high on my list restaurant in Mythos, though I haven't been in a while. I consider that my Universal BOG.

Hope you enjoy it.
We ate there about a year after it opened and were underwhelmed. Maybe its gotten better.

I've heard it both ways, so I'm hoping for the best. I doubt it will give me the same feeling as walking into BOG. This will be my first time ever at Universal, so overall I'm more excited about rides and restaurants there - it's a shiny new toy - and I'm more emotional and nostalgic for my trip to Disney, like returning home after being gone far too long.

I've veered far off topic though.

I suspect I'll eventually return to BOG when my daughter is old enough to appreciate it. She's two and her world is all Mickey and the gang. Yep, Chef Mickey's here we come, if I can manage to get an ADR.

I will recommend then, if you want to be "wowed" by a place, then Mythos is a good call. The interior is pretty amazing! I agree that there's nothing like walking into BOG! People claim the food there (BOG) isn't that good too, but I've never had it happen to me.

 

[FCDub]

They'll probably never go back. If they're filling it at pre-fixe, no motivation to do a la carte.

 

[gharter]

This will be my first time ever at Universal,

Enjoy, it really is done very well. If you are staying at the right resorts, love the free Express Pass.
Agree with PP about Mythos.
also really enjoyed Cowfish.

Yes, already made reservations for Mythos and Cowfish, thank you both for the recommendations!

My husband and I booked a 40% off package deal on a whim, which is at Cabana Bay, so unfortunately no EP. I have a feeling we'll upgrade our tickets to annual passes so I've got my sights set on Royal Pacific for a future stay. The EP really makes staying at one of those resorts very worthwhile.

Nice! Enjoy it. I really need to get back to Uni, but I just haven't worked it in lately. I do prefer Disney, but still like Universal too, though I really like universal Hollywood.

I doubt they go back to QS. Not when they can keep reservations filled as a prix fixe. It’s sad because the QS was excellent and something different for MK. I also can’t imagine paying $37 for Mac n cheese for my kid.

We ate lunch there under the prior QS menu and just wasn't impressed. Seems like an odd mix of QS & TS and the food was very average. I get the impression people wanted to eat there to game the system about when the park opened since it was near some of the more popular rides further back in the park. Not sure if they ever served breakfast.

those are the 2 dining reservations we made for our upcoming universal trip. We haven’t been there in many years and never ate at these previously. Looking forward to it

We loved the breakfast at BOG - we are hoping that when Covid is a thing of the past, it will return. . . but I agree with everyone here, it is unlikely that the lunch will go back to being a CS when they are not having any trouble getting ADR bookings and raking it in. . .
