Everything was really great! Our server was a little overwhelmed but still did her best to accommodate us and everything was perfect. The onion rings and shrimp mac n cheese were soooo good! My husband loved his burger too.

Will and Devin are the best servers ever, They are so kind and make the experience so much better! The Volcano Nachos are huge and so delicious and dripping with toppings. If they close this place I will never pour another dime into Universal.
Dinner$10–20Atmosphere: 5No special eventUp to 10 minSomewhat recommendVegetarian menu or sectionThere are shellfish and fish items. Seafood, Chicken, Dairy, And Beef items are also offered. They have a wide variety of options to choose from. All delicious.Plenty of parkingPaid parking lot, Free street parking, Valet, Paid parking garageJurrasic Parking is super cool, ET lot is a lot closer to the area of CityWalk where Margaritaville is located.It’s Kid Friendly with all of the amazing props and atmosphere reminding you of the BahamasThere are tables and booths, I do recommend a table for wheelchair users.
