Sea World has the limitation that you are stuck there, with only park food available. My wife and oldest daughter (8) were there a few weeks ago and did not rave about the food while there. However, Universal is a different story. We personally like Doc Brown's fried chicken (which was just outside of the Back to the Future ride (which is now the Simpsons ride)). We don't know if they changed the name of the place, but it served very good fried chicken (and also there is an Italian place right across the way from it). The benefit of USH is that there is Citywalk right outside of its exits. There are a number of places to eat there. If you want to experience a Los Angeles tradition, and you like chili burgers, go to Tommy's which is located in the middle of Citywalk on the second floor (which is their food court). If you do go to Tommy's, DO NOT order a burger without chili! It is sacriligeous. If you are looking for another place for a quick meal, I would try the Dodger Dog place right next to Tommy's. Dodger Dogs are GREAT (and you don't have to go to a Dodger game to get them)! If you are in the mood for some sit down food, there is a Camacho Mexican restaurant, Bubba Gumps (fish), Hard Rock Cafe, and a Buca de Beppo (Italian), along with other places.
