Finding semi-decent places to eat in the Universal parks can be a real struggle. But I think Monsters Cafe does a solid ‘okay’!
They serve a fairly simple menu, with rotisserie chicken, salad and a few other things. We got a half chicken and I was nervous it’d either be uncooked or dry as the Sahara desert (when you just mack your lips because it’s so dry- nasty). But it was neither, thank goodness! It might’ve been a tiny bit on the dry side, but if you’ve ever had fresh rotisserie chicken this is about on par, so it’s decent!
You can get a couple sides with the chicken so we did fries and broccoli. Overall it was a pretty refreshing meal in that it wasn’t anything crazy or overdone, but was good in its simplicity and plainness.
What makes eating here even more enjoyable, though, is the attention to decor. If you have even a slight interest in old horror movies, you have to check this one out. I honestly really have no interest in that genre but still found the setup to be super cool. Each room is themed differently and it’s a very quiet, dark restaurant which can be nice if you’ve walked around most of the day in the bright sun.
GOOD:
— Fresh food that tasted great! We appreciated the jackfruit option. The texture was perfect and the flavor was great.
— Really groovy interiors with different sections themed after different, classic Universal movie sets. Really set the mood for this horror movie junkie!
BAD:
Similar to other Universal restaurants, while the mobile ordering via the resort’s companion app flawless, the actual picking up is awkward. The signage clearly designates where to pick up, but said sign hangs over a cashier focused on in person ordering. This leads to a crowd of guests holding up their “order is ready” notifications and not knowing what to do. I appreciate the effort and I hope to see separate queues in the future that equal the caliber of the awesome app.
SUMMARY:
— Mobile pickup troubles aside, this place ended up being one of our favorite restaurants on a recent and first visit to the parks. So nice we visited twice!
Best place to eat in the park. Really good food and healthy options. You even get to choose your sides and deserts. The Classic monster theme is fantastic.
Great place to get out of the sun and the heat and has a not busy restroom
Love the theming of this eatery! The Universal Classic Monsters including Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Gillman and Bride of Frankenstein do a great job of framing the atmosphere here. The menu changes regularly and they have easily accessible Coca-Cola Freestyle dispensers right out front. #classicmonsters #cafe #cocacola #frankenstien #wolfman #gillman #brideoffrankenstien #universalstudios #orlando #florida
Great value if you purchase the quick service food plan for 1 person. I was able to share the Perilous Pair combo with my husband, the food plan also gives you a drink with entree. This meal would normally cost roughly $25 for the food and drink, with the meal plan it comes out to $25.99 and also includes an extra redeemable drink and snack.
Fries were a little stale, peach cobbler was super sweet, the brisket was awesome and we opted for a double portion of it, Mac and cheese was decent.
One of the best places I usually eat at in universal studios its quick to the point and always freshly cooked from barbecue too vegan plates you name it universal is always improving

was there for lunch on a cold sunday. I am vegetarian and was thrilled to see a vegan Jackfruit sandwich. It was the first time I had tasted it. It was an amazing tasty preparation. The only reason I took off one star is the delay in service having placed the order on the App I expected it to come out quicker than if I had stood online, but it took almost 25 min.Well worth the wait.
Always my favorite quick bite restaurant to eat at! The prices are a bit steep but the atmosphere really makes up for it! Sometimes you can even see Beetlejuice hanging around the electric chair just outside!
We had plans to eat in the HP area but last minute decided to avoid the crowds and eat here. It was SO worth it. Food was phenomenal. We expected old dry brisket and it was some the most tender, fatty, juiciest we've ever had. The chicken was OK, but I didn't realize I got white meat and should have asked for dark. The cornbread and mac and cheese were good too. Nearly empty, worth the price. For $20 you get 2 meats, 2 sides and a dessert. Cool theme inside too.
Very nice place !!. I liked . Allyson waiter was amazing and pls let them take tip. Thank you.
