Universal Orlando Restaurants

With dozens of restaurants, including the world's largest Hard Rock Cafe, Universal Orlando is a mecca for those seeking a meal, plain or fancy. Islands of Adventure has from one to six eateries—not all of them strictly burger-and-fries affairs—in each of its lands. Universal Studios Florida has yet more places for lunch and dinner. And at CityWalk, a dining, retail, and entertainment complex that you have to pass as you leave the two theme parks, you'll find even more tempting eateries. CityWalk recently added several new eateries, including the highly themed Mexican concept Antojitos, the sushi-burger duo Cowfish, and a so-called artisan pizza place.

  • 1. Finnegan's Bar & Grill

    $$ | Universal Studios

    This Irish pub would look just right in lower Manhattan during the Ellis Island era. The menu offers classic Irish comfort food like shepherd's pie, corned beef and cabbage, bangers and mash, and fish-and-chips, plus a healthy assortment of wines, cocktails, and beers, including Guinness on tap and a five-beer sampler. If shepherd's pie isn't your thing, opt instead for a steak, burger, entrée salad, or sandwich. Irish folk music, sometimes live, completes the theme in this beautiful, atmospheric place.

  • 2. Leaky Cauldron

    $$ | Universal Studios

    British pub staples are fitting fare for Diagon Alley's signature restaurant. The drinks menu complements hearty meals like stews and cottage pies with kooky-sounding beverages from the Harry Potter books like Tongue-Tying Lemon Squash, Otter's Fizzy Orange Juice, and Fishy Green Ale. Order at the counter, then be seated; a microchip in your "candlestick" will tell servers where to bring the grub. The Ploughman's Platter, with its cheeses, Scotch eggs, and apple-beet salad is food enough for two average eaters. English sausages can be had in toad-in-the-hole, bangers and mash, or a sandwich with three-mustard mayo. The fish-and-chips has an excellent flaky crust; the cod is flown in daily. End with the indulgent sticky toffee pudding.  There are iconic treasures throughout the Cauldron, from the replica movie art on the walls to the actual leaking sign.

  • 3. Lombard's Seafood Grille

    $$ | Universal Studios

    Designed to resemble a Fisherman's Wharf warehouse from 19th-century San Francisco, Universal Studios' flagship full-service restaurant serves fresh fried fish, fried shrimp, and assorted other takes on seafood. You can also get a Boursin steak sandwich with fried onion strips, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, and big salads. The New England clam chowder is a standout, especially for the price.

    • Fisherman's Wharf decor
    • Fresh-catch fish basket

  • 4. Mel's Drive-In

    $$ | Universal Studios

    At the corner of Hollywood and Vine is a flashy 1950s-style eatery with a retro spaceship design and several vintage cars parked out in front. Thanks to its location and look, this is one of the most popular choices in the park, so you might have to brave crowds for an extra-thick shake (recommended) or an order of the decadent chili-cheese fries. Basically, it's the burgers that draw crowds in. In case you and others in your group decide to go your separate ways, Mel's is also a great place to meet up.
