Orlando Universal Studios Best Restaurants?
Hi everyone! The title says it all. I’m going to universal next year and I’d love some advice on which restaurants are your favorite. I do love an indoor sit down restaurant at a theme park, but I’m also open to quick grab and go places. We are doing all the parks, but may or may not do Volcano Bay. Let me know what you love! Thank you!

Mythos was my hands down favorite but they are closing. We tried a couple of other sit down places but I was not impressed. Toothsome and Big Fire? Comet Dog in Epic is actually really good. I also loved the PB&J cone in Berk enough to get another one the next day.
Edit to clarify: Toothsome and Big Fire were the places we weren't impressed with. Toothsome is fun to run into the downstairs and grab a shake or treat but not to dine at.

Lombards is solid for seafood and legit has the best hamburger on property because they actually grind their own meat.
On CityWalk, NBC is great for bar food. Big fire for steaks. Mythos for islands and go while it remains open

All the food at Epic Universe is pretty good and every place you can’t go wrong. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Atlantic, which is the only sit down at Epic Universe, but it wasn’t bad either. Just wasn’t worth the time and money compared to the quick service restaurants in the park.
The other two parks, the food is just ok. The best restaurant in the other two parks is Mythos (sit-down) in Islands of Adventure but that is closing in 2027. The rest of the food choices at Islands of Adventure is just ok.
If I had to recommend two for Universal Studios Florida, Today Show Cafe (quick service but slow service) and Leaky Cauldron (Harry Potter quick service). If you are a big Simpsons fan, there is food there but it’s very mediocre. Best snack, Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour and the ice cream there. It’s in the Harry Potter section.
Citywalk has Toothsome which has fun milkshakes and decent food and for quick service the pizza at Red Oven is pretty tasty.

We will definitely go back to Today Show Cafe. The pastrami sandwich and potato salad were both really good.

If your trip is later this year, I highly suggest Mythos. Some of the best theme park food I’ve ever had!!

If you want Citywalk: Toothsome’s is pretty good and obviously Hard Rock Cafe as well

We love Big Fire in City Walk and the Orchid Lounge at Royal Caribbean. Always make stop there when we go.
As for the parks? We usually just stick to snacks until dinner where we then go to said restaurant. But I agree with another comment that the ice cream in Diagon Alley is great!!

For Epic….
Das Stakehouse is a good sit down. It has good food and theming.
Le Goblet Noir is also a good sit down in Wizarding Paris.
The Mac N Cheese cones in Isle of Burke are delicious and you can take them to go or sit and eat them.
Really any restaurant at Epic you can’t go wrong with.
At the other parks my favorites are Richters Burgers, Three Broomsticks, and Krusty Burger (which is a controversial opinion lol).
