How does dinning work in the parks?

Is it like Disney where I should look to make reservations? If so, what are some of the best places to eat at?

Thanks!

You do not need to make reservations like you would at Disney. Seating is not hard to find even a couple of days ahead of time. I believe most pros here recommend using opentable.

There is a sticky at the top of the forum with probably more information than you could hope for: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2681315.

If you will be visiting during a busy time I would make reservations at the places you really want to eat at. If you are flexible - you could wing it.

This is a terrific thread related to all that is FOOD at Universal.

Open Table has many places listed, so you can make reservations if you like.

My favorites are:

Mythos
Mama Della's
Finnegans
Margaritaville
The Kitchen
Hard Rock Cafe
Bubba Gumps
Thunder Falls Terrace

There are recent poll threads on dining - have a look!

Just remember...you can only make reservations at sit down restaurants in the parks and at CityWalk. Counter service restaurants do not accept reservations. Depending on when you're visiting and if it's a busy time, you might want to consider eating at off peak times to avoid some of the crowds.

Eating at off peak times when its busy like metro says is the best way to go cause we have found it to be less crowded and more relaxing
