Dinners at City Walk? Which would you choose?

[CJ]

DH and I will be staying at a hotel very near City Walk for 3 nights, arriving late afternoon the first evening and then spending two full days at Universal and IOA. The parks close at 7:00 and 8:00pm on the days we'll be there. So we have 3 dinners to look forward to, preferably after the parks close.

I'm sure we want to go to Margaritaville for one of them, but which do you recommend for the other two? We won't have a car, so I'm thinking City Walk places are best.... but I've heard great things about the Cracker Barrel (that is close to our hotel) so that's a possibility as well.

I've already made a lunch reservation for Mythos and we'll probably eat at Finnegan's on the second day's lunch. But dinners?......

Pat O'Briens, Bubba Gump, Latin Quarter....... so many interesting choices.... (we've done Hard Rock and NBA City, so not those 2). What do you all recommend?

My husband loves Pat O'Briens but I have never been. We both love Bubba Gumps. I hope you get some more info.

Since you have already decided on Margaritaville...I would suggest NASCAR Sports Grille and Hard Rock Cafe for the other dinners.

We make a habit never to eat at Crapper Barrel. I second the Hard Rock, and maybe heading over to RPR and trying Tcoup Tchop or Islands. If you want something cheaper, there is a BJ's Brewhouse close by offsite as well as Jersey Mike's, Bahama Breeze, etc.

I vote for the Latin Quarter.

We have done Nascar Cafe and I was suprisingly pleased with our choice. It's not your typical commercial chain service ( like TGIF or Applebees ). The food is very fresh with lots of options. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and drink.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. As I said, we've been to Hard Rock... and NBA, so looking for other choices

I vote for Bubba Gumps, I love that place! The shrimp is excellent and I like the theming. If your into seafood then bubba gumps is a wonderful option!

I vote for NASCAR Sports Grille and Pat O's..

We just came back from Universal and at City walk we enjoyed the Italian Pastamores (very reasonable prices) we went back to Margaritaville 2x because it was such a hit with our teenagers. We found Bubba Gump ok but greasy. Emerils was very good but expensive $250.00. I heard the lunch menu is great and a lot cheaper. Good luck!!! And have a great time.

Does Emeril's have a dress code at lunch?

We got dressed up for dinner but there were many people who came right from the park. At lunch we stopped by to check out the menu and there was no one dressed up. Hope that helps. Have a great time.
