When we went last summer for 6 days we didn't eat that much at the park. A must is the three broomsticks in islands of adventure. Another must is margaritaville they have great food but a little pricey. Another must is the hard rock cafe. We also ate at the nascar grille nothning to rave over. Ate a couple burgers in the park again just burgers. The food at the hotel was great at all 3 onsite hotels.

finnegans is solid, and louies grabbing a pizza and using your coke refills is a really good deal by theme park standards

Mythos if your going high end is as good as it gets

comic strip cafe has a nice collection of option for counter service

but circus mcgurkus and captain america should be avoided

Lombard's Seafood Grille at the studios is my favorite place to eat in the whole resort. You won't be disappointed.

I will be one of the first to admit most of the USF in-park food is bad with the exception of Mythos and Three Broomsticks.

We haven't tried the Lombard Grille yet, but I am willing to give it a shot based on Daniel's review.

The CityWalk has so many good restaurants, it makes sense to leave and go back to the park(s). Pat O'Briens, Margaritaville, Pastamore, Hard Rock Cafe...etc.

You can always water taxi to any of the three hotels, but the prices can be pretty steep, depending on which one you choose. The only restaurant that requires room key access is the Beachclub at Hard Rock because it part of the pool aree.

Mythos, Lombards & Confisco Grill are all excellent places to eat. And as NB stated, most of the Citi Walk restaurants are also great choices, and they're only a short walk away from the parks. Mythos gets crowded, even on slow days, so its a good idea to call for reservations in advance. We haven't tried Three Broomsticks yet. We usually only visit Harry Potter during the early hour for on site hotel guests. It gets pretty crowded in that area of the park until dark.

Take the boat to Lowes Royal Pacific Resort. Emeril's Tchoup Chop is a great place to eat. The desserts alone is worth going. I had a piece of banana Creme' pie that was as big as my head. They also make Creme' brûlée and homemade ice cream with the flavors change daily. My girlfriend had PB&J ice cream that I could eat every day of my life.

I enjoyed NBA City quite a bit, and with the new season almost underway, what better time to stop in and grab a bite?

Emerils, Lombard's, Finnegans, and Mythos are my favorite full service restaurants. Thunder falls terrace is a great counter service restaurant in Jurassic park. But my all time favorite restaurant in the whole resort is tchop chop at the Royal Pacific.
