What to eat for lunch

[starlionblue]

I plan to go to Universal in about a month. Eating lunch in the parks is a must so can any frequent visitors chime in with one or two of their favorites? Please list the name of the dish, the restaurant/kiosk and whether it's in Universal or Is of Adventure. Thanks!

Opposite of what you asked, but avoid Circus McGurkus. It’s fun to go inside and look around but the food is not good in my opinion.

In addition to what the pp suggested, Monsters Cafe at Universal is also excellent. If you’re going with others, the platters are large enough to share for those with an average appetite. The new Today Show Cafe at the front of Universal has been getting good reviews.

We have had five of the sandwiches at the new Today Show Cafe and they were all excellent! Price is nice as well. Love the fried chicken platter at Circus McGurkus.

We really enjoyed the pizza tots at Green Eggs and Ham

I love, love, love the fish and chips at Leaky Cauldron and Three Broomsticks. Monsters Cafe, has some decent BBQ, and excellent Mac & Cheese and Auntie Anne's cheese pretzel dog is also a favorite.

Last time I ate at Circus McGurkas my chicken sandwich tasted of heat lamp & oil and was quite unpleasant. It's a cute QS but unless the food has changed in 5 odd years I would avoid.

Never had a sandwich there, just the fried chicken platter which is consistently good.

At IOA, Blondies for the roast beef or ham sandwich
At the Studios, Louies for salad/pizza or the meatball sandwich on a roll

Also Simpson’s food court for chicken sandwich
(W/tator tots) and the burgers

Each trip I gain different favorite places in the parks
What I liked in October might change for next visit

We loved the American Diner at Studios. Mythos is a must at IoA. Not tried monster Cafe, might pop in there tomorrow.

I usually do table service. From this week:

Nachos from Confisco Grille. They were your typical nachos, I enjoyed them.





Chicken Club Salad at Finnegan’s. This was HUGE! Tons of cheese, bacon and onion web. I would have preferred a bit more salad greens.

Ate at Monster's for the first time last week. It was surprisingly good!

Today Show, excellent selection, different choices and decent prices.

Friends had told us it had improved.....we did plan to eat there, but just didn't manage it.

But, will give it a go in May, glad to hear it`s got better as it`s a fabulous interior and we always enjoy wandering around there. We just never ate the food after 2 poor meals there over the years.

Glad you enjoyed it though.

Um, where is Finnegan's? Universal or Is of Adv?

Finnegans is in The Studios.

It sits opposite The Mummy.
