[@RixFlix]

Check out our online theme park store: amazon.com/shop/rixflix Buy us a cup of coffee on our Ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/rixflix

[@youtubecommenter2328]

The music in the background at the start is the most nostalgic music ever

[@RixFlix]

Sure is.

[@amberlove2178]

Another great video guys! Nikki I'm like you, I didn't remember seeing most of those places, we just focused on the rides :) Keep up the great work!

[@RixFlix]

Thanks Amber, lot of fun videos happening the rest of the year.

[@WeirdCipher]

I just love all the restaurants there. The creative names, the food, and my personal favourite, the themed decor!

[@UncleIanYorkshire]

One of my favourite videos. Love the eating places of IOA and Thunderfalls is our favourite eating place ever since we started visiting Orlando. Also love a good waffle cone sunday. Bought my HHN tickets also, so looking forward to my visit. Thanks for sharing.

[@RixFlix]

Sure thing, didn't realize how much work it would be to create the dining videos. Lot's of places to talk about...towards the end I had to skip some of the little carts.

[@xVraigo]

My family and I just went Sunday and Monday. We always seem to just miss you guys. Every time we go you post a video a couple of days later. Hopefully we can find you one time, my son loves looking for the rocks.

[@RixFlix]

Ain't that always the case....my website has a general schedule of where/when we'll be...it has the stuff I know about, but sometimes I do spur of the moment stuff so that wouldn't be on the schedule, but it does have the most planned out stuff on it... www.myrixflix.com

[@melissaOcain]

Another amazing video. Me and the kids we always ride spider man as soon as we come out we get a pretzel.

[@RixFlix]

I like the way you think.

[@ginachancey3449]

Another awesome vlog , y’all are so right about the dessert in Seuss landing that’s were we went every time we wanted a dessert, the cafe is pretty good too. Now I need to go back to try the places I didn’t know about.

[@RixFlix]

OMG, soooo many places for snacks.

[@WeirdCipher]

18:11 Legends say that those raptors are still fighting over that pizza to this day... I don’t know why they fight tho cause it’s probably stale and moldy lol

[@cyphertea1576]

And you know what. I'm going to universal and IOA on the weekend. Some harry potter animatronics arent working so I'll let you know on that one.

[@rosemaryslife6036]

Great vlog guys! Definitely some new spots I've never noticed to check out!❤️👍😊

[@RixFlix]

Soooo many places for snacks...I didn't say it but it in this video, but so clever that the one by Kong has the banana icee....clever.

[@colinwithey1906]

Excellent video guys very entertaining now so much choice so little stomach space lol But excellent pricing info as well as menu very well done

[@RixFlix]

Thanks, never paid attention to how many snack carts there are....so many.

[@isasjourneythroughlife180]

Yay another Universal video! This video made me hungry so I got some icecream lol

[@RixFlix]

lol, funny.

[@broadwaybound154]

The Chinese food at comic strip cafe is one of my favorites

[@christinaprice3317]

Jessica Stern thanks for the tip. It looked good on the sign..lol

[@RixFlix]

I'm trying to sample more for when I do Rix Quick Food Reviews...I'm a creature of habit so it's hard not to keep going to my favorites.

[@AlphaTraveler1]

Thats so much fun. Thanks for sharing!

[@RixFlix]

Sure thing, soooo much theme park food.

[@ashleya3731]

Man I wish i watched more of your videos before my first visit. Gonna have to binge them all before the next one!

[@raheemnitro6868]

We've been watching a lot of your videos recently and have really enjoyed them. Keep up the great work you've been doing!

[@RixFlix]

Thanks for watching, happy you found us.

[@vickistory2724]

Thanks for the information!!! Awesome!

[@RixFlix]

Sure, want a sandwich or something after watching, don't ya?

[@unatimote5960]

just started watching your video I'm from a small country new Zealand me and my partner going universal for the first time for our honey moon next year 2019 so just watching your video so we know what to expect.

[@coltonsupergame]

You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve watched this video. I just love the food they serve at IOA.

[@patrinker2666]

Awesome vlog, as always! We got muffins a few times at the Croissant Moon Bakery to take bake to hotel for our next day’s breakfast. One thing we learned the hard way was that most food places close up before the parks do. We thought to eat dinner before we headed back to hotel, but left it too late. Fantastic 4 Cafe was great! Especially since it was pouring outside when we ate there. lol We loved the Three Broomsicks!! Now we have to add Thunder Falls and Confisco’s to our “must try” list for next time. Thanks for the tour! (But now I’m hungry!! I will have to show my mom that cotton candy. She loves that stuff!

[@RixFlix]

OMG, Nikki has been hounding me to show that cotton candy....hehehe. I never eat breakfast at the parks, to eager to bet the lines for the rides.

[@patrinker2666]

I understand the wanting to get right on the rides thing. We would get muffins or bagels to eat on the walk from the hotel and then hit the rides right off. Then do a quick stop for a better breakfast a bit later. I didn’t know about the grab and go breakfast bar at the hotel until the day we left, because we were in such a hurry to hit the parks in the morning, that we didn’t explore the hotel much.

[@christinaprice3317]

Had green eggs and ham when I was there about 6 years ago. Thanks for the awesome food review. I think the food pass is worth the money after hearing some of the food prices..Nikki now I have to have that cotton candy 😱😱

[@christinaprice3317]

Rix Flix October should be good then..

[@jedimaster4088]

You guys have to try out Cowfish. Great burgers! It’s a must go to every time we come to universal for our Disney/Universal trips

[@ashleya3731]

I just made a list or places to eat at when I come visit the parks thanks to this mini series y'all made. seriously awesome job on these videos

[@randallrittenberry]

We had Wimpys on our very first trip in 2002. Haven't had it since then, but back then the burgers were really good.

[@RixFlix]

I'll check back during Christmas, otherwise, I'll try to remember for next July 4th.

[@astoekoth]

I love your videos! Keep them coming!

[@goldieeagle3190]

Thanks for these blogs. Hopefully I find a rock...lol But really they have been helpful

[@goldieeagle3190]

I’m going for the first time in years Wednesday-Friday

[@NotCatsSot]

Glad you are enjoying the pasties. I was waiting to see if you would mention them. As allways another fantastic video

[@RixFlix]

Thanks, Nikki loves the pasties, but I think it's about time for me to stop teasing her about them. :) lol

[@NotCatsSot]

I think you can squeeze one more out of it. Nikki you say it however you like

[@angie2belle]

Thunder Falls was our favourite restaurant. The food was good and we enjoyed watching our kids play in the splash zone while we had a leisurely lunch. A nice escape from the crowds. I had a Dr. Suess cupcake and although it was cute it was a little dry. Good photo though 🙂

[@RixFlix]

Plus it always seems a little cool back there, probably because of the mist of water that must be in the air.

[@camileassis]

I love your videos! Honestly, you guys are the best! I have a question, do you guys will have a video for the "not so scary halloween Disney party"? I wish you guys have! Don't miss the Magic, don't miss the fun! 😙

[@RixFlix]

No, sorry, because of the cost of the holiday, we can only do either that one or HHN and the family loves HHN. We'll do it in the future though, probably not this year, but maybe the year after the channel will be doing well enough to add that one.

[@brittboynton9555]

YAY IT'S RIX FLIX DAY!!! AND NIKKI!!! I love these food tours! Will you be doing a city walk one (or two parts I know there's a lot!!!) because that would be awesome! I've been to universal like 6 times and I never saw some of these! We've added a couple of these to our list for our September trip! And we will be locals soon so we will get to go try even more which is too exciting! Also that dinosaur game app looks really super cute, will definitely be trying that! Thanks for a great video, ya'll!!!

[@brittboynton9555]

Also I'm waiting until the other houses are done being announced, but I totally am going to get that awesome Sam shirt that has the all over design and another shirt too! You have awesome selections!

[@RixFlix]

We are going to do more of these, City Walk, Disney, etc....eventually, going to take a little break from them, as we ramp up for HHN, but it's a goal to have one for every park.

[@brittboynton9555]

Rix Flix awesome! Cant wait! These are super helpful for budgeting too. HHN is SO CLOSE!!!! I'm glad we got an announcement today, I can barely wait anymore!

[@RixFlix]

Thanks, I'm about to post some regarding a new house in on our instagram. BTW, thanks for the coffee!

[@brittboynton9555]

Rix Flix oh yay!!! HHN is the real most wonderful time of the year! And you're welcome, thanks for the great videos!! :)

[@randallrittenberry]

Comic Strip Cafe was open this past Monday, Aug 6th, our last day of our trip. It was the only day we saw it open.

[@RixFlix]

I do recall eating there once, just never in that area during the lunch hour.

[@laurenantia2522]

You guys have great videos! Discovering them all now as we are going to Universal in August! My daughter and her friend (who we are going on the trip with), just performed in Seussical Kids in their school's production! My daughter was one of the Cats in the Hat and her friend was a Who! Can't wait to take them here to see all the themed goodies at Seuss Landing!

[@binx2638]

Thanks for this video! I haven't been to IoA in 10+ years and I needed to see what is worth getting at this park. I gotta say HP section is looking like the best option. Dr.Seuss landing for that massive cotton candy. And various shops for themed sweets

[@RixFlix]

Time for a visit my friend...or come along with me in the video each week. Lots of changes in 10 years.

[@h247ap1]

Awesome video guys

[@RixFlix]

Thank you, lots of food places in the parks.

[@wernwerks819]

Whimpy's veggie burger with curly fries and a dole whip is one of my favorite in-park meals.... when they are open

[@twill5361]

Very helpful video for our upcoming trip, thanks!

[@RixFlix]

Sure thing, hope you have a great time.

[@kimjoydc]

We have a four day pass and plan to visit the park between January 2-January 7. Is it usually busy at the parks during that time? Will I be able to see all the major things? Is the express pass necessary?

[@joshuagagnon7539]

Going to Universal Orlando FL and I.O.A on December 5th and 6th of 2020 for the meet up and I hope I can see you around. I came here to see your tips on food place's.

[@zoepowers9456]

Another great video!

[@RixFlix]

Thank you, those restaurant/dining ones are challenging...so much content.

[@randallrittenberry]

My man! Mustard and onions only....yessir!

[@RixFlix]

The sign shows you the best condiment for a hot dog.

[@erniehendry3907]

Please do an universal studio one as well!!

[@RixFlix]

Already did it, here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2m5cqlrlrh4kJY

[@cesar12507]

Hey im gonig to the parks in june 3rd and your videos help alot thanks

[@neuroticbubbles5038]

This video made me go on the hunt for a pasty, I'm currently living in Indiana but lived in Wisconsin for most my life and there I could find pasties in just about any grocery store there, (perk of being connected to the UP of Michigan) manged to find some in meijers.

[@houndar1]

I've taken the boys to Burger Digs, they loved it (milkshake with combo order). I thought it was ok, just average kind of burgers. To add to the NIx Trix, if you ask they will mix the Icee Flavors for you. So I like get them to mix Cherry and Lemonade to get a Cherry Lemonate Icee. The good ones do it in a bunch of layers so you dont have to mix it up as much.

[@RixFlix]

Yep, I don't think it's a fresh patty for those burger. Nice tip on the icee.

[@THEDASHLIFE]

We feel the same about Mythos.I will be calling out their sign in my next IOA vlog. Says best theme park restaurant 6 years in a row. That sign has been there for at least 3 years but the number never goes up. Lol

[@RixFlix]

HAHA, I know right...I say once the streak is over, take down the sign, or put up a new sign that shows the years.

[@isasjourneythroughlife180]

I live for ur vid lol love Universal

[@RixFlix]

Thanks, I'm happy you found us.

[@kittykathy9532]

Could you show some of the refillable popcorn buckets? Thanks for your videos!,,

[@hekktic7333]

Awesome video guys😁😁😁😁😁

[@RixFlix]

Thanks, Duncs.

[@JustOutnAbout]

We finally FINALLY had Green Eggs and Ham back in June when we attended the Orlando Informer meet up. Not the best food but hey we had to eat there to say we finally had it lol. Confisco and 3 broomsticks is definitely 2 of our faves. ~Dawn

[@RixFlix]

Never had it or Whimpy's...though I'm putting it on my calendar to visit during July 4th in hopes of catching Wimpy's being open.

[@mrwilliamcmartin]

I’m watching this again because we’re going to both parks in the middle of May. Are Whimpy’s and Green Eggs and Ham open more now? I really want a Wellington Burger.

[@that1cbjfan]

CONGRATS OF GETTING 6.k SUBSCRIBERS

[@RixFlix]

Thank you.

[@dominikm.1697]

What are your thoughts about a Viewer meeting during HHN?

[@RixFlix]

Nothing formal or planned, but I know I'll be meeting a lot of viewers on those nights. If you see us, please, come say hello.

[@dominikm.1697]

I am there for the first two weeks of HHN^^

[@ilovelegos2000]

Are you gonna do a video on Busch Gardens tampa

[@RixFlix]

Just got back form there a few minutes ago.

[@republicblocks6160]

I love it when nikki is in the videos. so fun!!

[@dariusq8894]

Thunder Falls Terrace is legit the best place to eat in Universal Orlando period. They even advertise it as having won Best Theme Park Restaurant multiple years in a row. That chicken & rib combo is delicious and compared to the other stuff in the park a good value meal.

[@thomasfrench8892]

Nix Flix. That is so funny

[@RixFlix]

hehehe

[@brownsense1]

Is chomp hotdogs open? I'll be there second week of August with my family

[@namedate3437]

Can you do the same video concept but for the stores?

[@RixFlix]

I've added that to my spreadsheet.

[@xxcampheroxx]

Just booked my trip to universal May 23rd!!

[@sgtofmarinesconnelly9652]

Incredible

[@RixFlix]

Thank you, lots of theme park food.

[@sgtofmarinesconnelly9652]

My Pleasure Rick! I can't wait till next month to get here.

[@spfeif]

I use to work at both thunder falls and pizza predatoria.. many many years ago.

[@carolinespross5611]

Have you done a video, or could you do a video, about Vegan food options at the two parks? My SIL is vegan and I do all the planning for our family vacations, so it would be very helpful to know all of the places she can eat during the day in the parks. Thank you 😊

[@Oldgames1000]

Mythos is a world class theme park restaurant. The sandwiches and burgers arent really the thing to order here. The high end dishes are top of the line.

[@RixFlix]

Yes, I'd like to try the high end dishes, it's just that I'm typically in the parks from open to noon and I'm a simple guy for lunch. Now if I was ever there late enough for dinner there are some fancier dishes I'd love to try.

[@donnacalhoun9224]

So much fun! Never knew about the place you did at the end. Going to check that out! I like Circus a lot. But I love Comic Strip because no one is ever in there. Cashiers and cooks are above on service and smiles. Once, while I was in there I felt something on my back. I reached to find out what was and it was a bird! i put him on the ground and we dined together. Fun memory. Thanks again!

[@RixFlix]

haha, cool bird story, that's was awesome!

[@dominikm.1697]

Do you get an AP Discount on the Dining Plan? And could you make a whole video about HHN with Infos about your Tickets, personal Hypelist and about the Leaked Lineup?

[@RixFlix]

Not sure about the AP Dining Plan, probably, I would guess so. Yes, more HHN videos are planned, we'll do a "preview show" before it starts.

[@kellymiller551]

Was very surprised you forgot to mention that the snack stand outside of Kong is the only place you can get a banana icee (my FAVE!).

[@RixFlix]

Yes, forgot to mention that when the camera was rolling. So clever.

[@ryansims4000]

Agreed mustard only 😁

[@pskilla5023]

Theme park prices... Ugh... I have to say, Lost Continent is really an eyesore. It's right in the path of travel, being along the path to the HP area, and it's theming is so cool, but there isn't really anything there. No rides or anything, just some random shows, it's such a letdown. R.I.P. Dragon Challenge

[@RixFlix]

Hopefully, it will get an overhaul one day.

[@jojodeoliveira2447]

Dragon challenge was so so fun :((

[@bluespringbreeze7045]

I got the same think Nikki got the last time i went to Confiscos. When I looked at their menu for my upcoming trip to Universal parks, i see they don't have the french dip on the menu anymore :(

[@BasketballTipsy]

How much was that giant cotton candy? My daughter would love it and does it come in pink???

[@RixFlix]

They don’t make them anymore

[@BasketballTipsy]

@@RixFlix nooooo *heartbreak* ok well at least I dont get my hope up for nothing haha

[@zakk-kaye]

You have to go in the Hogs Head for butter beer - the first time at least!

[@johnwilson007]

The sandwich shop at the beginning is my favorite and it was under 5 dollars.

[@rpop414]

You are correct Rix it rimes with cafeteria.

[@RixFlix]

thanks :)

[@ashleyconover7829]

Seriously could you two get any cuter?! I love your videos!

[@jayeroxburgh922]

I'm so hungry now!

[@RixFlix]

I know and you didn't have the smells to encourage you.

[@osvaldoandresverdugoegan6651]

I travel each year to Orlando and my favorite theme park is Islands of adventure ! All the food inside is really good and delicious , I use to eat at the cafe 4 and that restaurant that’s kind of a tavern . In general I like the food . Have you ride the Incredible Hulk coaster ? That’s my favorite one . I like the launch moment , it’s my favorite part and unique moment

[@RixFlix]

Hulk is my favorite ride...I always ride back row so the launch feels longer.

[@osvaldoandresverdugoegan6651]

Rix Flix that’s right , I use to ride in front row only , the reason is to know what will happen next and you can see all the loops coming

[@osvaldoandresverdugoegan6651]

Rix Flix im a rollercoaster enthusiast , I’ve ride all of them in Orlando and Busch gardens in Tampa , and you ?

[@damnusexybitch]

I love you guys u make me feel like I'm there at the park with u it's amazing thank you I love the rocks Niki jus beautiful hope to find some myself I would love a Coke shout-out for Kristina thank you

[@RixFlix]

thanks, I added you to my coke list, just hand on as it my take a while to get through the list. Love the screen name!

[@mathis916]

Hey y'all. I'm planning a trip for a family of 5. Kids 18, 11, and 9. Planning $300 a day for food. Too much or too little? It's our first time so rides/attractions are more of a priority.

[@emilyelombardo1611]

The BEST churros are by Rip Ride Rocket!

[@brennandupart1999]

That’s at Universal Studios not IOA

[@emilyelombardo1611]

Brennan 987 clearly, but I’m just making a general statement about where you can get the best churros out of BOTH parks.

[@GregsVlog]

I've heard that the dino bone props are the actual ones from the movie. Although I may be thinking of the California Universal...

[@RixFlix]

Maybe, but definitely more likely out in Cali

[@troyj4960]

Yep... Mustard and onion. I'm subscribing

[@RixFlix]

the only other thing I like on a dog would be chili

[@zoomladvader9578]

My first day at universal I got Green Eggs and Ham and at the time I didn’t realise how lucky I was (the food was very nice)

[@taylorb2053]

I know this video is old but I'm glad you caught yourself when you almost said to your wife are you sure you will fit through the door.

[@ScrewtopReviews]

I'd like to see a list of the best meals. That's of course subjective but I think it would be helpful.

[@damedechatfou3832]

Wow, that's a lot of cotton candy!!!

[@troyj4960]

I'm torn between eating at Mythos vs just doing a photo opp out front and heading to city walk for food!?

[@RixFlix]

The dinners are supposed to be really good. Unfortunately we've only had lunch there, but would like to do a dinner if we are ever in the park that late.

[@Bryansberrytales]

The pizza taste different if the dough is made fresh just like at Knotts Berry farm. We also have two different pizza locations at the farm. the pizza taste different because the way the yeast is stored in each location and the proofers are usually a little different for the dough rising. Something as subtle as a few degrees could completely change the taste of the dough. That our theory Thank for all the info you have given us

[@Mykef21]

Can’t get an Italian hoagie outside Pittsburgh gotta have chipped ham

[@christinedaae7323]

I really wish that Universal Orlando Resort had a Universal Classic Monsters Meet’N Greet! That would be incredible! Just think, Dr. Jack Griffin, Phantom of The Opera, Dracula and Family, Frankenstein and his Bride, and every Universal Classic Monster! Am I the only person who thinks that would be incredible? Please tell me that I am not!

[@emmachurcher-holt9372]

So, that's where we get dippin' dots 😉

[@RixFlix]

Some before entering the San Fran area and some by ET

[@ladislavdubravsky1435]

Nice :)👍

[@isasjourneythroughlife180]

I love anu themepark

[@markcutmore7811]

I thought Blondies was lovely when we went in 2017 the huge sandwiches were delicious and good value for the money

[@apriljoy1156]

I'm a hufflepuff too! 🙌

[@kimberleymyers9690]

Green Eggs & Ham is open for breakfast

[@TheRealKirbo]

Hubba hubba Nikki and Rick in love

[@christinedaae7323]

I am really scared to death of the Islands of Adventure Lighthouse. I will not go anywhere near it when I go to Universal Orlando Resort. I am scared out of my wits of that thing.

[@isasjourneythroughlife180]

Np

[@svhwdwnut]

Must be a great burger to be $12!!

[@RixFlix]

Theme park pricing but most place now (nicer restaurants) charge at least $10 for a burger now.

[@italiang8470]

$8.50 for a pretzel???

[@RixFlix]

Theme park pricing
