Where to eat at Universal Orlando including menus

[CJsMom]

Hi All,
I have a reservation at The Kitchen for Thanksgiving Dinner, but I just found out that it will be a buffet only, which will cost $58 per person. I might pay that for myself and my husband, but it will be a waste of money for my 2 kids (12 and 13) who are picky eaters. Can anyone recommend another restaurant, either at Universal or off-property, that might be a good choice? It doesn't have to be a "traditional" Thanksgiving dinner - we are really just looking for a casual place with good food that doesn't cost $240+ for the four of us.

We had Christmas dinner at Margaritaville last year, and it was the regular menu. Maybe try there?

Thanks! The menu looks like there's something for everyone, so I think we'll give it a try.

Thanks! Hoping we can get in even though we didn't book our a whole package through Universal.

Has anyone figured out how to make Cowfish reservations? The book by phone link is gone.

There doesn't seem to be any info about reservations. Maybe they aren't taking any right now.

Sorry if I missed it (didn't see it on the first page), but does anyone have a menu for the character breakfast in the park

Does anyone have a pic of the room service menu at RPR? Particularly the breakfast menu? I have a couple of very grumpy risers this might suit better than being around people in the morning....

A cheaper alternative is for one of you to run down to the Orchid Court where they serve breakfast items a la carte and bring it back up to the room. They have a very good selection. That's what we did when we were there in September. They even have a pancake machine that is kinda cool.

Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't thought of that! We are a large family-any bit of savings helps! I'll look at their menu.

Anyone tried Cowfish at Citywalk? I'm reading some complaints not about bod but about service.

Hmm, I haven't eaten there yet, but will in a couple weeks. I'm worried about the reviews. I wish we could make reservations, but we were told they weren't taking them. I hope they're just working out the kinks and service gets better.

We ate there twice during our stay a couple of weeks ago. Only planned one meal but it was so good we went back. Amazing burgers, crab rangoon dip to die for, burgooshi was awesome and the spiked milkshakes are the best. Service was great and the atmosphere is cool. We did eat a little before the dinner rush. We are starting to plan our next vacation and have 3 meals planned at Cowfish. According to a server, they will begin serving lunch in January, currently only dinner. The menu is so extensive you can plan multiple meals and have a totally different experience each time. A definite "must do" for our family.

Orlando United reviews are stellar for both food and service at Cowfish.

I was trying to find how to make ressies for Cowfish, but I see that's not possible. Should I then get concierge to book it when we arrive?

 

[macraven]

cowfish is at city walk, you don't need a reservation for that place.

 

[nemofans]

I read that Cowfish may add lunch. Does anyone know when that may happen?

Who has been to The Kitchen for the character meal recently? Which characters were there? I booked it & was curious to who we might see.
