That's a difficult one....

We have only eaten fast food in US and IOA and they were all OK (as fast food goes).

Universal Citywalk has loads of good restaurants - Hard Rock, NBA, Jimmy Margaritaville to name a few :D I'm sure you can leave the park to eat and go back in after if you like.

I have eaten at Sci-Fi Dine in Theatre and 50's Prime Time Cafe @ MGM and they were both good. Take a look at allears.net for the menus.

Not had a bad meal at MGM.

Hope this helps

:cool:

At Universal & IOA you can go to City Walk and I would throughly recommend hard rock cafe

Universal / IOA - Hard Rock Cafe or Nascar Cafe - they're just outside both these parks, at Universal Citywalk, but they're perfect for either a lunch if you want to take a break from the parks, or for dinner after you've finished. Both serve great food & they're really nice, plus you can make a reservation in the morning (as you walk through citywalk, there's a booth) & it gets you some money off, so that's a bonus too.

I've heard Mythos was voted the best themepark restaurant in the world, or something like that, at IOA. We didn't try it but could be worth a shot!

Can't help with MGM as we ate at Hollywood & Vine for our fantasmic package - it was nice & the food was good quality, but for what we ate (alot of the food we didn't like), it would have been cheaper to eat elsewhere!

50's prime time is quite good food and fun if you get the right waiter or waitress. We got Mr Grumpy last year and our section had much less fun than the rest of the restaurant!

The Brown Derby in MGM is very good, but quite expensive.

Lombards Seafood Grille in Universal Studios was very good indeed. Despite the name does very good NY Strip and pasta and seafood (Scallops were huge).

Deserts are superb and Cocktails certainly make the Mummy seem to come alive!!!

Mythos at IOA is fantastic, also at MGM Brown Derby is our favourite. When we got to US we always eat in the Hard Rock Cafe which is very good.

At Universal it has to be Hard Rock Cafe, although we have also had nice food at Finnegans in US.

At MGM our favourite is Sci-Fi, but we also enjoyed Hollywood & Vine.

We've not had a really bad meal at any of them.

It has to be Finnigans at US. The best ever fish and chips tasted. Can't wait to have it again.
