Hollywood & Dine

Affordable prices, great cheeseburgers, sandwiches, and salads Will return only when in universal studios.

This was the worst food I have ever had! Who cooks food like this! Horrible horrible horrible!

Horrible! DO NOT EAT HERE! We end up thowing away the food…$ 11 hamburger which is all fat, pizza disgusting! Crowded, unorganized! Really Universal Studios!!! You need to hire Chef Ramsey ASAP

Horrible! The food is overpriced and just decent. Super crowded all the time and we had two different groups of people try to steal our table while I was sitting there.

I went here b/​c most of other food places were closed. I ordered Philly steak sub, chicken tender and lunch special which served asian food. Lunch special was okay. Not that great. Chicken tender and philly steak sub though were terrible! side salad that came with it had weird tasting cucumber and tomato. if you want a side, get fries. I would not come here again next time Im in universal.

Located near the Water World attraction. They are known for their funnel cakes? but my BF ended up ordering the lunch special ($ 9.50) which came with rice, steamed chinese broccoli, and chicken teriyaki. I have no idea why he was craving it. Rice was dry, steamed chinese broccoli was a little too crunchy, but the chicken teriyaki had good enough flavor. Service was fast though, but there weren’t that many people there anyway…

Depending on what day and time you go this establishment can get extremely crowded.
My family and I went on a Sunday and it was a complete disaster. The employee (PATRICK) taking our order was rude and extremely slow inputting the order. When I asked him to repeat the order he seemed bothered. Picking up our food was so much worse. Everyone is waiting in the same area and you literally need to push yourself through the crowd since saying excuse me doesn’t help. Completely unfucking organized, a better system needs to be set up for this place. Food was ok which sucks because I paid about 60 bucks for 3 meals!!! Talk about ridiculous! #robbingme

Decent food selection if you’re in at Universal Studios. Typical amusement park food selection and they can usually adjust some items to become vegetarian if needed. Main complaint is with the service speed. There were 60 – 70 people in line and they just had one cashier taking orders, meanwhile there were others there who looked like they were just doing administrative work. It took me nearly 45 minutes just to get food for one person. I like the soda machine that can make cool customized sodas (including things like peach Sprite or orange Coke).

A theme park visit is never complete without getting your hands on some funnel cake, thus It has become our tradition to end our visit at Universal Studios with this indulgence. Located in between the Water World show and House of Horrors, it’s almost impossible to miss this especially on your way out of the park.
I’m sure every one knows what a funnel cake is but for the .99% who don’t, it’s batter that goes through a funnel and deep fried to a golden brown with a wonderful crisp. At Hollywood Grill, they top it with fresh strawberries and whipped cream or for those who want to bring it to the next level, you can always get it a la mode with vanilla ice cream. They’re selling them for $ 5 an order (extra $$ for ice cream) which can be shared between 2 – 3 people. Made fresh to order, the smell of this sweet guilty pleasure is so hard to resist. I always tell myself to just have a bite or two but it only takes one taste of it to forget yourself. It’s addicting! Best eaten warm so dig in right away!
This is a self-​service little joint which sells pizza, hot dogs, and much more. Order from a counter and wait for your food to be ready from the pick up line. It can get crowded during peak hours so expect a bit of a lag. Tables are outside with heat lamps available for chilly nights. Make sure someone from your group secures a table while you order.
Enjoy!

It’s definitely a perfect way to end the fun and tiring day at Universal Studios. Before leaving the park, I always make sure to have a funnel cake at the Hollywood Grill. These deep battered decadent and scrumptious treats will make your tummy happy, satisfied and make you envious to onlookers walking by. It’s located next to Water World Live Action Show and across from House of Horrors attraction. Although service can be a slow at times due to a large crowds especially during peak lunch time hours or 30 – 45 min before park closes, it’s definitely worth the wait so be patient.
Priced at $ 5, they’re freshly made to order, hot, smothered with/​without strawberries, dusted with powdered sugar and whipped cream. Texture is lightly crisp, fluffy and soft chewy inside. For a more decadent treat and $ 1.50 more, you can get it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (ala mode). Huge size portions that’s big enough to share or have it all for yourself. Besides the funnel cakes, their chicken tenders and Chinese style sauteed chicken with vegetables and rice are tasty as well. Plus the cool digital soda dispenser is amazing and fun way to get your soda fix.

Its not a complete amusement park visit without a funnel cake to end the day!
At 4.99 for the funnel cake and with/​without strawberries and whipped cream it sure was delicious! I recommend sharing it with someone when getting it because one surely cannot finish this delicious treat all by yourself. It came out warm, crispy and sweet on the top. If being a little sweet is a problem, no problem! They will make it without it.
A must try!

Order the funnel cake, it is very good. Located within Universal Studios, u can’t forget to grab yourself a nice funnel cake if u are at some sort of theme park. Warm and crunchy outside with a soft semi-​goo inside!!! To add to that they add a healthy heap load of whip cream and a nice scoop of ice cream

Terrible service and an edible breakfast. Yeah, I’d probably eat something else too.
Came here for a breakfast burrito and a bacon croissant sandwich. Service was terrible. There were 3 kids taking orders and one serving up the food. When the 3 kids at the front had no more customers, they proceeded to joke and talk amongst themselves while the 1 gal was drowning in getting the orders out. She had to ask the guys 3 times before they reluctantly came over to help. They were pretty much useless, but so was the manager who came over and did nothing as well.
When we finally got our food, it was decent. It was a really big burrito, but was served lukewarm as it had been sitting under the lights a bit while the kids got their act together. Not great, but basic. Egg, bacon, and maybe some cheese. The croissant sandwich was ok. It too was lukewarm and the cheese wasn’t even melted.
If you had to have breakfast in the park, this may be the only option. Or you can wait for lunch… I just wouldn’t eat it at this place.

This place serves the worst amusement park food I’ve ever had. Not only their food’s not good, the line’s long and they got our order wrong… I can literally just buy ingredients in Safeway/​Giant and open a sandwich/​burger shop next door and they would taste much better.
Filet Mignon Sandwich ($ 9sh) — It’s not filet mignon at all lol… It’s beef strips on a bun. They’re really dry and tough, you’re better off with their cheeseburger. The fries aren’t seasoned properly; they didn’t mix the fries with the seasoning well. You can only taste the seasoning on some fries; some others’re plain…
Grilled Chicken Sandwich ($ 8sh) — The grilled chicken doesn’t have much taste to it; I had to add ketchup to it. The whole sandwich’s really sloppy looking; it’s like what a 6^th grader makes for him/​herself. Even I can prepare a better grilled chicken sandwich and I’m horrible at cooking food…
Conclusion: Don’t come here!!! It’s overpriced, taste horrible, bad service and not enough seating. I saw a couple of people fighting over our chairs lol… Big white dude vs nerdy Asian guy, I’d pick the white guy lol. I had to come here because I was starving and it’s the 1^st food joint that I saw right after I entered Universal Studios. Don’t make the same mistake that I did.
