Where to eat at Universal Orlando including menus

[schumigirl]

My kids love Mel's Drive In (Studios). It looks like a 50's diner with a lot of cars out front (I remember one at least from American Graffiti) They have burgers, fries, chicken fingers, and yummy hand-dipped milk shakes.

That's nice to read actually as Mel's Drive In doesn't get a lot of love on this forum.

I've never had a decent meal there, but always tell folks to give it a try for themselves........it does have a nice look when you go in it.........my husband did enjoy the milk shake he had there.

How busy are the City Walk restaurants on Sunday nights? According to TP's calendar, both parks will close at 7 on our arrival day. We'll probably catch dinner much sooner than that (like between 5-6). Was thinking of doing Toothsome on that day but now I worry about how busy it might get. Would you recommend another day (and/or another City Walk restaurant) for Sunday night?

Another question: What's in the Flaming Moe drink? I hear it's non alcoholic (good for us) so what exactly does it taste like?

It's a fizzy orange drink. It's a little expensive for a non-booze drink, but you're paying for the novelty experience.

DH and I want to go the Leaky Cauldron for the fish and chips but there is nothing on the menu for my picky children. Do I have any options?

DH & I had the same issue last time we went. Our youngest could happily live off of chicken tenders and fries for the rest of his life

We took the boys to Mel's Drive In for chicken tenders, fries, and burgers for the older two. Later, we went to the Leaky Cauldron...the boys were happy sitting with us in the HP restaurant with their Butterbeers (they also have some desserts on the menu.)

Are there any places open early around City Walk or walking distance to UO for a quick early breakfast? I'm thinking a danish or maybe an egg and bacon roll quick service type of thing around 8am. We will be coming from Disney and want to get there early for when the park opens at 9am.

I know there is a Cinnabon in Citywalk. There's also a Burger King on the upper level, but I've never tried there for breakfast, so I'm not sure.

After Pastamore on CityWalk closed, we go into the parks (Croissant Moon in IoA or Boulgeneire in Studios) for breakfast sandwiches.

We've been in Starbucks prior to the parks opening before.

The food there is pretty generic. The food offered at the Simpsons themed restaurants is a little different than the rest of the park. The burger toppings, curly fires, the fried fish are unique to that area AFAIK.

Oh it's definitely generic...my kids could happily eat McDs chicken nuggets and fries every day of their lives We go for the atmosphere, because my kids could not care less what they eat, HAHA! Though their shakes are good. We usually go for one nice meal a day, and a QS generic meal every day. If you don't like their food, it is a neat themed place to sit in the AC and have a shake.

I know not everyone likes going to the generic QS places, but some do...I'm talking to THOSE people (My people...HAHA)

These are current at Beverly Hills Boulangerie. Not sure how the pics look on a computer. I had a hard time not getting glare so delete if they are bad. I'm not a dessert person but....wow! Give this place a look as you come into Studios. Everything looked very fresh and delicious.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Toothsome link is not working (maybe it's just me, but I do have FB)...here's what it said:
