Hi all! Whats your favorite place to eat in park?

I used to love to get the hot dogs, pretzel and beer before getting on the tram....

Something about eating on the tram that just makes everything taste better. :D

I really wish they would put some kind of cup holder on the tram for the drinks, it is really hard to hold your drink and food on the tram....but i guess that is half the fun trying not to drop it lol.

Anyone know if USH is getting a table service restaurant...?

Side note i'm really happy with springfield I have yet to try the food, but the beer was really good to me.

It wasn't technically in the park but I always used to go eat at Tommy's Burgers at Citywalk. When it comes to small snacks and stuff Despicable Delights usually hits the spot. Haven't tried Springfield's offerings though. 

A new dining venue is replacing the old House of Horrors location.

It's always a hit or a miss in all the different locations, so my favorite spot always changes within the park.

I really enjoy Jurassic Cafe's citrus marinated chicken. One of the best deals in the park! Also love getting a sandwich at the Palace Theatre or soup and sandwich at French Street Cafe. Also enjoyed Krusty Burger. It honestly depends!

Flintstones was a favorite of mine, loved the fresh BBQ! I sincerely wish they'd bring back the TRex bbq....

Hello and welcome!

My favorite place in park is Mel's. Gru's Lab Cafe was good but the quality is gone...

Yeah, Gru's was great until it went down hill. I hope Springfield won't go down hill.

I can't wait till Hollywood and Dine or whatever it'll be called!

I like the food and atmosphere of Mel's Diner. whenever they would play "Johnny b Goode" I would remember back to the future and all its scenes in the Diner.

Both, sadly...it was very good for the first month or so, though.

Gru's used to be great until the quality plummeted. My favorite place to eat at now is Krusty Burger.

It's a shame that Gru's Cafe suffered despite being so new. Universal is so focused on Potter that they are neglecting other parts of the park. Hopefully they can find that balance soon.

Overall the park is looking the best it's arguably ever has! Only Jurassic Park and Gru's have been neglected, everything else is improving.

Cletus' Chicken Shack is my favorite at the moment. I didn't really like any dining venue arguably more compared to others before Springfield opened.

When I go to the park I usually don't eat there. I did try a turkey leg when Flintstones was still around. Pretty damn good.

I am meeting up with some friends from the East Coast in Nevada. We plan on taking the Las Vegas 2 Universal Studios Tour http://vegas2hollywood.com

What is the best place to sit down for a relaxing meal with 8 people? We all seek something with a variety of different foods.

Welcome to the forums!

If you'd like to eat inside the park, I would recommend eating somewhere in Springfield by the Simpsons Ride. You'll be able to find burgers, fried chicken, pizza, tacos, ice cream, and more in that area. If you want a little more variety, you can always check out the dining venues scattered throughout CityWalk.

Somewhere in Springfield, but before I would eat at Panda Express or Jurassic Cafe. I can't wait for the Three Broomsticks though.
