6 spots to taste iconic food and drinks at Universal Orlando Resort
Now that Universal Orlando has reopened its theme parks to guests, you’ve no doubt got a craving for some iconic Universal food—here’s where you can get it:
Springfield U.S.A. – Universal Studios Florida
The dining area in Springfield U.S.A. brings all your favorite Simpsons eateries to life, including Lard Lad Donuts and Moe’s Tavern.
The Big Pink donut is a must-have, and is big enough to share with friends. As for drinks, you can’t go wrong with a Flaming Moe—smoky, bubbly, and non-alcoholic!
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Universal Studios Florida & Universal’s Islands of Adventure
You already know what we’re going to say: Butterbeer. One of the most iconic beverages from the Harry Potter universe, this sweet treat will make you truly feel like a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You can enjoy Butterbeer in several different varieties (though we’re big fans of the frozen version).
There are many other sweets from the Wizarding World to try, including Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans, Peppermint Toads, Fizzing Whizzbees, and Chocolate Frogs (which comes with a famous Witch or Wizard Card).
Blondie’s – Universal’s Islands of Adventure
If you’ve got an appetite like Dagwood, you’ll love the iconic sandwich named after him! You can find the Dagwood at Blondie’s in Toon Lagoon—made with fresh-baked onion and poppy seed bread, piled high with baked ham, turkey, roast beef, American and Swiss cheese, and topped with lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and mustard.
Green Eggs and Ham Cafe – Universal’s Islands of Adventure
You can find out just what Green Eggs and Ham tastes like at the Green Eggs and Ham Cafe in Seuss Landing…but with a twist!
At this eatery, you can try Green Eggs and Ham Tots, along with a variety of other tots-based dishes. You can even have yourself a can of Who Hash! Just keep an eye out for the building that looks like a big green ham with a giant fork on top.
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. – Universal CityWalk
Any fan of the classic film “Forrest Gump” will want to run straight for Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. when they enter Universal CityWalk. There’s plenty of shrimp dishes to try, like Cajun shrimp, coconut shrimp, fried shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp salad, shrimp scampi, shrimp gumbo… the list goes on and on. Fans of the film can even test their “Forrest Gump” knowledge right at the table!
Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville – Universal CityWalk
Margaritaville has plenty of island vibes to spare at Universal CityWalk. Instead of singing along to “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” why not actually eat one? Or you could quench your thirst with a Who’s To Blame Margarita.
These are just some of the eats and treats that can’t be missed when visiting Universal Orlando Resort. What are your favorite Universal snacks to grab when you visit? Let us know in the comments!
