Loving these polls damo.......

Hands down it is Louie's and Simpsons food court ! !!!

Richter's for their veggie burgers.

If DS were old enough to have a dis account he would vote for the kid zone pizza place. And I agree, they do have a nice cheese pizza. But the veggie burgers (which DS is never a fan of no matter where they are from) are better IMO.

I ain't fancy. Mel's is always fun for a burger.

I like Mel's and Leaky Cauldron...had a bad meal at Simpson's and haven't been back. Too many places we like to worry about giving others a second chance...maybe one day.

These polls are so helpful for someone going to Universal for the first time. You can look at the menus but nothing is more helpful than someone telling you they had a great meal or loved something somewhere!
Thanks everyone!

Bumblebee Taco Truck was disappointing. My Carne Asada was okay, but not enough for the money. My Wife's Korean Beef was inedible. Too sweet and salty. Krusty Burgers are good as is the Chicken and Waffle sandwich from Cletus.

Leaky Cauldron is my family's favorite. At Islands of Adventure Thunder Falls Terrace is the favorite

For some reason, our boys LOVE Richter's. It's ok, but dh and I don't get how much they like it. We liked the variety at Simpson's; we all got something completely different and enjoyed what we got. But the best meal we had was the Great Feast at Three Broomsticks. Really, it was awesome, and perfect for 2 adults and 2 teen boys. The only things left over were some veggies and one ear of corn (one of the boys had braces on), and it was a BIG meal.

For us, its all about the theming. Leaky Cauldron and Simpsons Fast Food Blvd are tops in our books.

(Three Broomsticks has the same menu as Leaky Cauldron).

We found the lunch and dinner menus at these two restaurants to be VERY different .

I was going to say the same thing Gina. I believe the breakfast menus are very close (just a couple different items like the oatmeal and the mushroom one I think). The lunch/dinner menu is completely different.

Oops... maybe I got them confused. It's been over a year since I've eaten at Leaky Cauldron. Sorry for the confusion

No need to be sorry, just wanted to make sure it got cleared up for the people that haven't been there before.

Love Louies and Simpsons and one of the few that loves Mel's.

Anyone else wish to contribute?

I chose Monster's Cafe as that is the only place we tried during our last trip. It was pretty good!

Leaky cauldron is shown on the Universal Studios map as full service, is it actually counter service? We were going to avoid it for that reason but if it's counter then perhaps we won't.
