Where to eat at Universal Orlando including menus

[macraven]

a month from now will put you at mid May.

weekdays/evenings are not bad for city walk restaurants.
but with a large group, do a ressie thru open table.

 

[mjohnson96]

We have had larger groups with 16 and depends on where you want to eat. If we want to go to Margaritaville then I will make sure a few days before to book something on open table but many times I will call morning/afternoon of to let them know we are coming. Last year was early June and we didn't have a problem getting a table during the week for that large of a group.

New to all this.....

First visit to Florida......so excited going in 5 weeks, last minute decision. Staying on site at universal and need to get planning, anyone know of great places for breakfast. Looked at restaurants for lunch and dinner but could do with ideas for breakfast beyond the hotel.

Thank you for any help

When staying at RPR, we usually grab a quick breakfast at Orchid Court Lounge - it does coffee, juice and pastries plus cereals and other grab 'n' go breakfast options.

If you want somewhere away from the hotel, though, there is a Cinnabon at CityWalk. Other than that, there are breakfast options within the parks themselves. One of my favourites is the Apple Danish at Croissant Moon in Islands of Adventure. It's just an apple Danish, nothing special but so good

Yep, other than the hotel we will use Croissant moon bakery occasionally, nice and fresh.

Cinnabon and Starbucks too.

I second Croissant Moon

I agree, Croissant Moon is great at IOA as are the Starbucks and Cinnabon. At USF we like the Boulangerie Pastry shop (just inside the park, has muffins, pastries and AWESOME cheesecake for later in the day). Also, the Lard Lad donuts are fun. But if you are looking for a sit down full breakfast, I can't think of anything in the parks.

Other than the character breakfast, there aren't any sit down full breakfasts at the parks other than Three Broomsticks which is counter service but still serves full breakfasts. The hotels all have full sit down to order breakfasts.

Croissant Moon is great. If you like Burger King you can go there at the Whopper Bar. They serve the basic BK breakfast.

We did Cinnabon at City walk twice and also the Three Broomsticks Breakfast at IOA.

Both were very good.

We did the breakfast buffet at Royal pacific and it was okay. A little pricey.

 

[broady]

Thank you. I will have a look at those and see if I can find menus.

Croissant Moon and Boulangerie Pastry shop are both great for breakfast. CM is right inside the gate at IOA and Boulangerie is right inside US.
Besides pastries, you can get very good egg sandwiches there.

THIS!!!

Also...over at the Hard Rock Hotel, there is a very good restaurant..."The Kitchen"...(Not cheap, but what is?) Their breakfast buffet is one of our favs.
To save a bit of money-and on rushed mornings, we just carry a breakfast bar or the like into the park and down it while waiting for HP...or The Minions to get to work!
Universal is a blast!

I'm glad it's not just us - we pack Zone bars and bottled water and eat/drink on the walk from RPR to the parks! Then we have an early lunch at a counter service. We don't ever spend any money on breakfast on vacation.

I have no idea just how close to the hotel it is but noticed someone mention there is a hash house a go go nearby. That place has phenomenal breakfast. We went to the one in Vegas in December and I enjoyed an amazing bacon waffle.

HHAGG is on International Drive so it is close but not close enough to walk. Would probably be OK if you had a car.
