My only experience with food at Universal Orlando is, it's hugely over priced and, it's less than mediocre, at best!!!
Your channel is helping plan my second Orlando trip which will be in May 2026. I have booked the Cabana Bay Beach Resort and I cannot wait.
We liked red oven pizza. Pretty good quality pizza and service was quick. Breadbox was a winner for sandwiches (they are huge and can be shared) but service was painfully slow on the days we used it. Bubba Gumps was our favourite. Great theming, quick friendly service and generous portions of well prepared food. We actually ate there twice.
We also stopped off at chocolate emporium as our kids were begging for milkshakes. $16 plus tax per milkshake! And they are huge, but not in a good way. No one we saw could finish them. They should consider “child size” milkshakes at a lower price point. But they won’t…
Where’s margaritaville
WHAT!!! Bubba Gump is SHITE!
What is vegan at bubba gump?
Now im hungry, why do i torture myself like this
Universal really needs to up their food game.
So glad youtube recommended your channel! Very thorough reviews, love how you show the overall map to help locate each place. Cheers from NYC.
One of my favorite spots!
After getting sick from the food at antojitos, I think I’m done with universal studios. I can honestly say this was the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had.
I love Moe’s Southwest Grill I Hate The Cowfish
whats missing is a nice spanish resturant and Mexican is not spanish so don't go there, I mean Puerto Rican/ Dominican food
Plan to go to Universal in less than a year; your videos are so well-done, especially for an older (75+) couple. Really like the straight-forward reviews and your maps.
Enjoying all videos, even if just in your minds! Thank you.
What and where is the Donut Burger in the main picture for the Video from?!
Amazing vids . Quick question what size serving is a glass of wine as it seems to be one standard size.
big fire steaks was so salty could not eat , bubba gumps just ok no oysters. hard rock way overpriced ,
Yee, 🤠 haw!! Gimme some of that.!!!
i dont like bigfire just beacause its under seasoned and we ordered a medium rare fillet, it came burnt
Toothsome is amazing.
For fast and tasty food that is the best value in Citywalk it has to be Panda Express. Burger King right next door comes a close second. Many of the other eateries here are too overpriced for what they are and what you get.
I didn't see my favorite, Margaritaville, but seeing as though I haven't gone for more than 15 years, I am pleasantly surprised to see how many NEW great restaurants are around Citywalk! I'd love to give The Cowfish a chance!
Great video! Is reservation needed to get a table for these restaurants? If so, How much in advance?
Food was our biggest disappointment at Universal, though we loved our overall trip. I can't think of a single restaurant where we left thinking, "That was a really good meal." Haven't eaten at everyone of of these but ate at several on your list. All of them we left thinking… "It was alright."
Is there an entry fee?
Anticipated going to toothsomes and booked well in advance so was really looking forward to it but found it very ordinary food was OK the fries were a lot like McDonald's burger was OK but there are a lot of good burger places around here anyway service was OK but our table was delayed 15 minutes and when we got upstairs found the place half empty was really quite disappointing I am glad I tried it but will not go back there is a lot better around especially for the cost
Margaretta Ville restaurant is also very good!!
Wait.. where was the part about the donut burger? I feel like I'm going crazy cuz I don't remember it from the video xD
Good)
Cowfish is definitely worth a try. We have been twice and I've had a burger and a few different rolls, all very. The Parmesan Bacon Truffle fries are fantastic. I never noticed the milkshake menu so I am adding it to my must-try list for next time.
i want there bumba gump with my mom and grandma at my name is heather ha
all that food looks really good i like it to watch this youtube my name is heather ha
Thank you for the gluten free information
After my trip got cancelled back in 2020,i’m pretty eager to return to orlando. Btw,your videos are so professionally done.
VIVO yum
thanks for the video! you saved me a trip
Puts Voodoo on cover photo, never mentions them
I haven’t finished the video but I think COWFISH is amazing
I love Universal and almost all its restaurants- EXCEPT- the Hard Rock. The staff is uninterested and not very friendly. The food is WAY too expensive for the mediocre and uninspired offerings. You are paying for the atmosphere and the name, not the quality of the food, which is only fair at best.
We have to reserve to eat at these places? If we do, how do you reserve?? First timer here! Going in May
For our upcoming trip we are doing toothsome, cowfish, and vivo!
Where is the burger with donuts? Anyone
Do u have to get reservations on these restaurants ?
Hi there I'm a dishwasher at red oven. Happy you included it on your list.
Hey there, just curious. according to what criteria you gave the GF ranking? you never mention it and some of them don't even state or barely have GF options on the menu. so as a celiac I'm wondering how much is it really appliable to me?
