where to eat?

[Taratink]

This will be our families 3 rd trip to Florida but first time to US/IOA. Where is a good place for us to eat? We have 2 kids ages 4 and 6. So we are looking for fun and casual. I would like to book a couple ressies before we leave.
thanks,
Tara

in the parks or in citywalk? you can't book PS's in citywalk in advance unless you're staying onsite.

I would suggest Margaritaville in Citywalk. You can make priority seating reservations even if you are not staying on-site. I did it on our trip last year and will be doing it again this year. They take reservations 30 days in advance. My two kids and two nieces (8,7,5,4) all loved Margaritaville and can't wait to go back again. (Look for the erupting volcano!). My son is always asking when he can see the volcano again. They have a kids menu (although it is not posted on their website). On the Universal website click on dining and Margaritaville has it's own website w/a phone number to call. There are also some reasonable counter service places in Toon Lagoon that the kids would enjoy (pizza, chicken).

I'd second Margaritaville and also suggest HR Cafe (loud, lot's of stuff to look at) as well as The Kitchen at the HRH (cool little room for the kids to hang out, comfort food menu).

and the NASCAR Cafe!!! atmosphere is wonderful along with the food. my kids dont even like NASCAR but this is still their favorite place to eat.

407-224-FOOD is the main number, but some of the other restaurants have different numbers.
