Where to eat at Universal Orlando including menus

[schumigirl]

There's a Kobe right across from Universal...went there once...never again. Food was OK but I thought it was a little pricey for my tastes.

We usually go to the Kobe in Lake Buena Vista. It`s much bigger that the one nearer Universal and I think better service and food.

Food has always been fantastic at that one. We were around $130 for 3 of us last time, but that was for cocktails for 2 as well as we took a car from the hotel to save one of us driving.

May give the I drive one a try this year.

OK, I don't really have time to read through all 46 pages, so I'm going to try the shortcut method. Please don't flame me!

We'll be 2 or 3 adults, staying at RPH, either the last weekend in September or the first weekend in October, for 2 nights. We're "foodie" types (doing Victoria & Albert, for example). We know that we want to have at least one breakfast at the Three Broomsticks. One of us doesn't eat seafood. Other than that:

1) Where in the parks do we want for lunch?
2) Where outside of the parks do we want to try for dinner?

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

if you plan on either of those weekends, book soon.
the hotels fill up quickly for hhn, which will be held on both the weekends you listed.
once the tickets go on sale in the summer, many will book then for the onsite hotels.


Tchoup Chop https://www.universalorlando.com/Ho...c-Resort/Restaurants/Emerils-Tchoup-Chop.aspx is really good.
check the menu to see if it pleases you.

emerils is in city walk but i prefer emerils tchoup chop at rph better.

you can take the boat taxi to rph from city walk.

if you want to stay in the parks, many suggest Mythos.
i've been there many times and the menu changes periodically.
during sometime periods, they close around 4:00.

in city walk, i hit Latin Quarters.
go to www.citywalk.com to check out the menus of that place and the others.

for casual food, i hit finnegans.
good basic variety but nothing exquisite.

Have to second Finnegans!!! Both times I have eaten there it has been great, prices are pretty reasonable too !!
As for Kobe 's we were 5 and our bill was about $120 we did not have dessert or alcohol though . The place was large and it was not the one near Universal !! We all LOVED it was the favorite eatery for all of us the trip !!

Just had lunch at Finnegan's. They had me at "pretzel roll." . It was good.

 

[macraven]

i'm at the darkside for 11 full days.

i hit finnegans at least 4 times during the stay.



that's because i have 5 favorite things i love to order there.......

 

[cgattis]

Do any of them include bacon?? DH had a bacon cheeseburger, and mother of all that is good......I don't know WHAT they did to that bacon but it's probably illegal in 49 states. THE best bacon I've ever put in my mouth. Wow.

If you're looking for bacon cheeseburgers, I think your best bet would be at Citywalk: Hard Rock Cafe, Margaritaville, or Nascar Cafe.

Bula Bar at RPR has an awesome bacon cheeseburger.

 

[macraven]

all the food at Bula Bar is awesome.........!!


if you only want to know about the burgers, my experience is the best are at HRC and Bula Bar.

 

[cgattis]

Agreed, Bula Bar cheeseburgers are great, as is everything else. But that one at Finnegans was might tasty too. Looking forward to staying at RPR again when Gringott's opens!!

Leaving at the end of this month and spending 3 days at Universal/IOA to begin our vacation. We have never been to Universal before and I am now trying to get the details in order. I was wondering what you all recommend for restaurants to eat at, both sit in an counter service.

I am going to do Mythos on our last day for my daughter's birthday. She is a huge Percy Jackson fan and I think she will love the theme there.

Any other places you recommend for dinners? Any special lunches or breakfasts that you consider a "must do"? or anything you have had a particular bad experience with?
Should we go to Citywalk to eat? Or stay in the resort/park area?
And last, should I make reservations for anything? I think I will for Mythos. We are going to do a late lunch I think.
If it helps, we are a family of 4 with 2 girls ages 12 and 14.
thanks in advance. Can't believe less than a a month away!

 

[macraven]

we all have our favorites.


i never miss louies for pizza or boulangeries.
both in the studios.

Mythos was our favorite meal last time we visited IoA. Three Broomsticks was also quite good.

Merging with the food sticky.

Who has the best steak at Universal parks or resorts? We were thinking of eating at the Steak place in the Latin Quarter but I read some bad reviews and now I am not sure it would be worth the price. Has anyone been here and how is it? My opinion it's hard to beat a good steak cooked on the grill at home.

Moving to the food sticky.
