The Hidden Food Gems of Universal Studios Orlando

[@hydronius4913]

So I'm actually a cook at Lombards and you have said most of the issues we parrot to our managers to fix since we get around 20 something reservations total every day. Thank you for mentioning us and just know we have some new dishes cooking up to hopefully change up that menu.

[@scarlettlucindy]

Very fishy

[@scarlettlucindy]

Yummy

[@Thoralmir]

What secret do you use to cook bacon? Every other restaurant that tries tends to produce it tough, leathery, or chewey. But not Lombards. You guys do it right, and I wanna know how.

[@hydronius4913]

​​@Thoralmir We cook it in the morning in the oven, let it cool and then reheat it on the grill before serving

[@WhaleyWorks]

Lombard's has always been our favorite eatery in Orlando. Favorite menu items have come and gone, but I prefer to be forced out of my ruts and to try new things. It is always a fine dining experience in shorts and a t-shirt. The best kind.

[@armandg4]

Honestly only tried Wimpy’s because of the video you made 3 years ago. You weren’t exaggerating either. Definitely the best burger in the park.

[@Bitchinthekitchin]

It’s my husband’s go to when we visit! The fries and dole whip are also a plus!

[@TruMonty]

Now imagine if you would have had the best crepe they had to offer prior to being discontinued (brisket). Broke my heart. Praying for its return

[@aspennicholexo]

Nooooo, I saw this on another video and was dying to try this in particular! I’m going in February with my son on a field trip, fingers crossed they will bring that backkkk ☹️

[@DavidSeymourOfficial]

imagine how good that tripleta crepe was and multiply that by 10 and you'll almost get to how good their brisket crepe was 😭😭

[@travismartin1126]

Dude! I went two days ago and she said it was gone and a real tear came down my face!

[@Afineaddition]

Wimpy's is still amazing! An absolute gem!

[@nickschlau77]

And no one else uses Beef Wellington burgers like Wimpy’s baby! Let’s Go!

[@cameronlightsey6633]

Jurassic Park Terrace is punching air rn 😂

[@AttractionIdeas]

I like Thunder Falls a lot, but I think it's pretty popular and fairly rated so didn't feel the need to mention it here.

[@dasoupsoup]

It's not in the parks themselves, but Bread Box is a great value option in CityWalk. If you don't mind walking, it's an awesome spot to stop for lunch.

[@OakForestBoys]

Love that place

[@3Gads]

Their vegan sandwich has no right being as good as it is.

[@loganeverett6886]

Bread box is amazing

[@karil6461]

Really is it good cause $11 sandwhiches?

[@NickMatzkeMusic]

I love the Chief Wiggum pronunciation of “Gyro” 😂

[@NickMatzkeMusic]

For reference if anybody is wondering: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6u1iKlmrZWhn5osi=OjTNdveV6CYa9QwR

[@VerbilKint]

Tip for How the Grinch Stole Christmas fans like me. Once I seen they had Who Hash cans, I had to have one. You can order Who Hash and ask for it on a plate and get a clean can for a souvenir. Bonus: They put more food on a plate than what can fit in a can.

[@Shunks]

People probably say this a lot but this video was perfectly timed. Heading to universal for the first time myself next week!

[@NatDaHomie]

ENJOY !!!

[@samplautz5586]

The loaded potatoes at the taxi cab stand just outside of diagonal alley are great! Had one every day of my trip

[@geoschilling]

Confiscos is my favorite sit down restaurant at the parks. It is really good with a big menu and pretty affordable

[@MrBaseball4]

I ate at the crepe place on my last visit and literally fell in love. Best theme park food I’d ever had (excluding chick fil a)

[@ryanl.8858]

lol, tell your family/friends to not pick off the tasty toppings while you are filming the dishes. It distracts from the presentation of the items!

[@Kotsu-ChanRoss]

My absolute favorite at the parks is actually from Volcano Bay. The Coconut Chicken Curry from the Kohola Reef Restaurant is a must have every time I go, it's so good.

[@adamp2384]

Wimpys is hands down the best burger in universal, I hope it stays hidden so the lines don’t get too long

[@douglasfreer]

I’ll add this, there have been days where we ran out of burgers because too many people ordered them or the attendance wasn’t projected as being high so not enough patties were sent to us from the warehouse.

[@reneeott1556]

I love all these restaurants.

[@soldierboy425]

I go to universal fairly regularly. I’ve always walked right past Central Park crepes. How foolish of me!? That looks amazing!

[@mcadr4925]

“Three years”😭 man it can’t be that longgg already

[@gabet3514]

I had no idea Wimpy’s existed and I have been to IoA 6 times

[@Melizard129]

Green eggs and ham may have short lines but the food takes FOREVER to come out no matter how slow they are, every single time. ... Which is weird, keep the tots ready to go! Also, I've never been to Fire Eaters and not stood in a significant line, people love that little gem!

[@durpnick]

Maybe the tots are made to order? Either way pretty yummy.

[@Melizard129]

@@durpnick yes I'm willing to wait because I love them 🤤

[@omenoflaherty1294]

What a great, enthusiastic, energetic narration style. Bravo sir!

[@PopRox]

My favorite theme park channel right behind ElToroRyan, fr

[@supremefan]

I think Universal has the best food all around when compared to any theme park.

[@DurzoBlunts]

7:15 my biggest complaint about mythos was in their building design they didnt take audio echoes in the dining area into consideration. It literally felt like a LOUD cave. Lombards was a much nicer feel and vibe if i want a sit down meal at a them park.

[@RIP2UALL]

Confisco has a damn fine OST, ngl.

[@AmusementLabs]

When my family first went to USF we had lunch at Lombards, i distinctly remember the butter with the Universal logo pressed in. The food was extremely forgettable and yet it still rang up to like $150 which was wiiiild cause I dont even think we got anything particularly fancy. I honestly dont even remember what i ate.

[@Bella9.34]

Carnitas tots are my favorite 🤤

[@LChatmanFL]

Gotta commend you on finding unique and useful content for your videos. Confiscos definitely deserves more love. They often will have the passholder exclusives as well.

[@debraevans6993]

Thanks! Making my list of places to eat when I come in September.

[@maddyportwood6047]

Confisco Is my favorite. Everything is so good

[@jojobunny02]

My husband and I spent a year trying every spinach and artichoke dip on Universal property and Confisco has the best one. Get it with bread instead of chips 👍🏼

[@TheNeuroticjetfan]

Eating a filet mignon and then going on a roller coaster just doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.

[@DrSayre]

Im going to Universal next month.. Wimpy's was on my list of possible restaurants, now it might be on my must do list!

[@Bitchinthekitchin]

It is definitely a must especially for the price! My husband loves their burger and I always snack on their fries and dole whip!

[@Kewpie-7321]

“Freshly brewed lemonade” 😂

[@TheNinjaDC]

I had a Gyro at Knoebels. It was good, and right next to the creek.

[@thezemag]

Minions Cafe is so good!

[@Soppy-0]

I miss the food Chez Alcatraz had pre-pandemic. The Red & Blue chips, the toasted Wharf sandwich, all were good.

[@chowpal415]

Burger dogs is great too!!!

[@millabasset1710]

"I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!"

[@technofire_cake1115]

This vid was great! Imma go to one these instead the usual one I go which is Krusty

[@Malcontentmatt]

Good info, thanks dude.

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

Hammer sea world with their crazy food prices

[@Afineaddition]

They are insane, man. They've driven me away from the park, and I have free admission there lol

[@BBirdy5]

Yes! Seaworld/Busch food is insane. Prices are ridiculous, and quality is generally poor.

[@OakForestBoys]

Six flags as well

[@asudevil316]

So expensive and such trash compared to both Universal and Disney

[@AmusementLabs]

On my family's only trip to IoA we also ate at Confisco's. Food was decent, i just remember it being pretty hot inside and for some reason my mom and the waiter got into a bit of an argument about something...

[@embop1266]

last year we did ioa in the morning before heading to universal for hhn, and we stopped at confisco’s for lunch, we’ve had passes for 6 years and had never been lol and we were SHOCKED at how good it was. definitely returning

[@Tbm_961]

Letss gooo new video 🎉

[@TheNinjaDC]

You do know you can get poweraid, lemonade, punch, and tea from the Coke Freestyle machines right? My favorite poweraid (zero sugar) combo is 7/8 lime, 1/8 cherry. The one inside the Marvel cafe is usually very balanced too.

[@AttractionIdeas]

Yeah Powerade is easily runner up for the most refreshing drink at Universal. But man, that lemonade... Life changing stuff.

[@ontothenextpaige]

LOL I love Cheesecake Factory too! One of my most faves when we visit the US :)

[@liamcollinson5695]

I am yet to try the food but just from the looks of the restaurant i get why people like mythos it's really unique looking

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

15:45 asks for a wimpys burger, brags about how good it is, and then proceeds to destroy the burger

[@dirtbones3694]

i have always been a central park crepes believer!!!

[@XavierTaylor-oj7il]

Nice video

[@sketchycat6223]

In the New York area of universal Orlando, there’s a pizza shop that also sells the best garlic knots I’ve ever had in my life. Like incredible tasting, and dare I say very affordable. And yet every time I’ve gone to the park since the first time I tried them it’s been during holidays or off season so the menu has been altered. I have only eaten them once but I dream of them every day. One day I shall return and seek my garlic knots…

[@LIVForeverGaming]

I always use auntie Anne’s for a snack when we’re there, just as a wee walkable. People don’t even see it in UO, at least at IOA you can see it

[@CoralCoasters]

Fun Spot Orlando's Auntie Annes has flavored lemonades and i get them every time for that same reason, but it's also blue raspberry

[@Troopertroll]

I didn't think the Harry Potter restaurants had particularly good food, but most of the stuff in the Jurassic Park area is worth getting. As for CityWalk, most are just okay, but I think Fire stands out the most as far as food quality. Mythos is a must-go, but everyone will tell you that.

[@OakForestBoys]

Watching this before my next trip. Also Whimpys was closed the last two times I went 😢

[@witherstormbro5677]

Ya Um going to try Wimpys when I go to universal in my next trip in 10 days thank you for the video

[@theodolan7315]

Can you do a video on mythos!!

[@AlexaSmith]

i want that pad thaiii omg

[@juanpabloguerrero3110]

I love the Krostyburguer

[@davidjordan5077]

The tropical chicken salad at Volcano Bay is the best food at Universal.

[@CarloRufinoSabusap]

Universal's crepes are some of the best things I've ever eaten in a theme park. I tried the crepes they serve at Epcot near Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and they were some of the worst things I've ever put in my mouth.

[@DinosaurDude53747]

I was not expecting you to make a video related to food from Universal Orlando resort.

[@n111ck]

how are u gonna tell us about that chopped tripleta just to tell us it’s GONE 😭😭😭

[@AttractionIdeas]

I'm devastated man. I think it got taken off the menu only like two weeks ago :(

[@n111ck]

@@AttractionIdeasi’m hitting this spot next trip for sureee

[@animationdude5]

Great video! Although, I'd argue that Toothsome's menu is Universal's version of Cheesecake Factory, not Confisco's.

[@JohnS-ki2zf]

Super underrated restaurant is mama Dellas at portafino

[@frankdux5785]

been going to Universal every year for close to 20 years and have somehow never even noticed Confisco

[@BrittonBaker12]

The Vegan Berry crepe was the best because it wasn't extremely sweet. It was fairly light and refreshing. Sadly they removed it from the menu.

[@sfotnews8633]

Which food places do you recommend at volcano Bay?

[@oneandonlytyler1]

is doesnt matter ,the chicken tenders and burgers are all the same stuff across universal property

[@kenyak2959]

Anyone know what the new crepe options are??

[@BBirdy5]

They added a blueberry/lemon one and a croque messur, which is like ham and cheese.

[@VerbilKint]

It changes quite regularly. By the time you search for and find a menu, it may change by the time you get to the park.

[@Thoralmir]

Lombard's Landing is the only place I've found that knows how to cook bacon correctly.

[@Yeehaw6424]

Is the crepe place open during Halloween horror nights?

[@Bitchinthekitchin]

I’ve gone a bunch and it’s always been open when I have been there!

What are you talking about? The Crepe stand is an hour long every time we are there!!

[@largeformatmaster2994]

Question. I remember going to The Lost Continent and had kebabs/skewers. Since you mentioned Fire Eaters Grill, did they ever serve kebabs? Or am I thinking of another restaurant?

[@AttractionIdeas]

That would be Doc Sugrue's. It's pretty much right across from Fire Eater's. It's only open seasonally though so it's not open very often.

Confiscos is far and away my favorite restaurant. Unlike Mythos I’ve never had a bad meal at Confiscos and I really enjoy the theming in Confiscos. The theming at mythos is better but honestly it’s not better enough in my opinion to put it higher in the ranking in my opinion. Also just to add Finnegans is cool but the food I had wasn’t anything special. I haven’t been to Lombards so can’t speak for that.

[@countrysk8er14]

Universal food is just disgusting and wayyyyy overpriced. If you can find "average" food there, you've won. One of the biggest things that separates UO from Disney is food quality. Frankly, it might be the one thing that Disney one million percent beat UO at at this point.

[@Bitchinthekitchin]

I disagree, the only recent things I’ve found to be good from Disney are some of the hotel sit downs and the Epcot booths for festivals. I have been super disappointed lately but universal has been upping their offerings. I hope you have a better experience at your next visit because I’ve had great experiences at universal lately

I’m still devastated about the Brisket crepe. I went to Universal specifically for that crepe once, only to find out they replaced it. Tears were shed that day. 🥲
