I've been doing a ton of research for an upcoming Universal Trip. Your videos are hands down the most helpful, and I really enjoy how you give different perspectives in all your videos! Thank you for taking the time to do this, it's been very helpful for me!
You’re welcome, really glad it’s been useful. Hope you have an awesome trip 👍😁
instablaster.
This is the best food video you have done so far. Each one has become much smoother and moves at a nice speed. Great work.
Thank you! Yes I really hate the first I-Drive one now. I’m hoping to update it for next year. Thanks for the feedback 👍😁
Great video! But I’ve gotta say, the experience my wife and I had at NBC Sports Grill & Brew was excellent, and definitely deserves a try for anyone visiting Universal Orlando Resort. We enjoyed our food we had for dinner so much that we went back for lunch on our last day before heading to the airport. The best item we ordered was the Crispy Grouper Sandwich (862 IPA beer batter, bibb lettuce, tomato, caper tartar sauce, toasted brioche bun). It was one of the best fish sandwiches I’ve ever had!
NBC was hard to leave out for sure 🙈
Thank you for watching 👍😁
That sounds amazing
I love the format of this video: the exact location on map, videos of what it looks like inside and outside, the menu with the prices, pictures of the food, and showing the ratings on restaurants.
Also, can you do one on best restaurants at disney and universal resorts?
Thank you Ciera l, pleased you’ve found it useful. Yeah I definitely want to do a ranking of the resort restaurants at some point 👍
Love the layout of this video. The parts of the left are amazing for info as well thank you
Thanks for that, it takes a lot of time to do so really pleased it’s appreciated 👍😁
This is super helpful. I'm going to Universal with my son in May and he is super picky. Limited to hotdogs and chicken strips. This video made my life 100x easier. Thanks!!
You’re welcome! Hope you have a great time! My two sons are limited to chicken nuggets and pizza 🤦♂️
Plan to go to Universal in less than a year; your videos are so well-done, especially for an older (75+) couple. Really like the straight-forward reviews and your maps.
Enjoying all videos, even if just in your minds! Thank you.
1st one the outside of the building is just outstanding as well as the inside n I loved Mexican food. Olay.
Ughhh. I loved cowfish. I can't wait when we go back next year
Bento box is amazing.
OH! and the brussel sprouts... SO FRICKEN GOOD
Fingers crossed we get this vaccine by the end of the year. Thanks for watching 😁👍
VIVO Italian Kitchen is my go to everytime I vacation at Universal. Ate there just last week. Chicken Alfredo with peas, Ceasars salad, and Margarita. Mmmm!
😋
Your channel is helping plan my second Orlando trip which will be in May 2026. I have booked the Cabana Bay Beach Resort and I cannot wait.
Amazing, hope you have the best trip!! 😁
So glad youtube recommended your channel! Very thorough reviews, love how you show the overall map to help locate each place. Cheers from NYC.
Sir Your reviews are the best ! You give a complete run down on the restaurant, the food and also show the menu. Keep up your great videos and thanks for you hard work !
Thank you Richard, really appreciate comments like this 👍😁
Great video. We have been twice and never knew about some of these places! Will use this for next time.
Glad you found it useful, thanks for watching 👍😁
I ate at Vivo once. I love italian, but for some reason the food was a bit bland during my trip. I would be more than willing to give it another chance, though.
Cowfish has been consistently the best restaurant for me on City Walk.
Wow I love the formatting, great video
Thank you for that, hopefully the production is getting better 👍😁
Great video again! Thanks for all your hard work. They really help. Love the music on this one
Thanks Mark! Apppreciate you picking up on the hard work. This one was particularly bruising 😩
I remember when Bubba Gump shrimp co was Motown restaurant! The baby back ribs to this day are still the best I’ve ever had. And it’s been 14 years since I was last there!!
Another great review . Production and content spot on . I agree with your top slot . Refreshing and clear review style well done again 👍
Really appreciate that 😁, thanks for watching!
I can't stop watching your videos. So well-done! Thank you!
😁
Very welcome, thanks for watching!

Great video. Your videos are well researched and nicely produced. Keep up good work, will be useful for my return to Orlando next year.
Thank you! Really appreciate comments like this 😁
Would love to this kind of video for the parks too! Love this!
Thank you! Yeah that’s what I plan do. I’ve finished my ranking for animal kingdom but will likely wait until things have calmed down a bit before posting.
Very well done video. So helpful. Thank you!
You’re very welcome 😁👍
My family loves vivo italian and was so happy to see it on the list! Cannot wait to try some of these when we are there next
It’s the best!! Thanks for watching 😁
Yay your back!! Missed your vlogs!
Thank you! 😁
Great video ! Thanks for that professional research you did ! Well explained. Continue with your great work 👍
Thank you! Really appreciate comments like this 👍
Wow that Reuben at the end looks great.
🤤
I have to go into Toothsome every time we are there. Their gift shop is amazing, and the chocolates they sell are delicious. The restaurant was okay, but not great... plus, it gave my husband food poisoning. So I don't think I'll actually eat there again.
Oh dear, sorry to hear that!!!
Great video , enjoying this format. Great footage and the ratings on the left provide a handy reference without detracting from the video
Really appreciate that! Hopefully improving since my early vids. Thank you for watching!
@@TheFrugalBrit Yeah these are great. I really like videos where the voice is nice to listen to and the video is more about the content than the viewer if that makes sense. Great straight to the point information! Keep up the great work
Great review , my fave is cowfish.Love the Cowfish Has Left The Building burger...yummy...bubba gumps is great fun too 👍
It was tough picking between the top three to be honest. Very good choices.
I believe that’s where I had a milkshake few years back.That’s all I had and it was really good
Thanks for uploading this video!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching! 👍😁
On our last visit Cowfish and Bubba Shrimp were our favourites. Great stream and refer on our next visit when we eventually get out of Lockdown. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Thank you Tim, really appreciate that! 👍😁
Both of those are awesome, cowfish is a must for us.👍
Food looks delicious! Great video! Now I am hungry lol.
Thank you 👍😁
Love your videos!!!
Thank you Matt! 👍😁
Thanks, we enjoyed the video footage with labels below and prices. Great narration, no annoying loud music.👍🏻
Thank you Josephine! Really appreciate comments like this 😁
Cowfish is definitely worth a try. We have been twice and I've had a burger and a few different rolls, all very. The Parmesan Bacon Truffle fries are fantastic. I never noticed the milkshake menu so I am adding it to my must-try list for next time.
Wow! I WILL SAVE THIS VIDEO. INCREDIBLY WELL DONE. VERY HIGH QUALITY!!!
Thank you kind sir 👍😁
Excellent review my friend. New Subscriber here. Really enjoyed all of the great information to help me prepare for a future visit to Universal Studios Orlando.
Thank you! Really appreciate that, glad it was useful. Hoping that the new video will be ready by Monday (beginners guide to Universal Orlando).
One of my favorite spots!
For quick service we like bread box the best. For table service we love Margaritaville!
Yeah I need to give Margaritaville another go next time.
These are all great restaurants! Personally my family always goes to Margaritaville because it’s nostalgic and it’s fun to see the volcano go off if you sit inside 😎
Yeah it was REALLY difficult to leave it out, gonna give it another try on my next trip.
Thank you for watching 👍😁
Always good service there
Great video! Thank you for the gluten free and vegan info. Much appreicated!
You’re very welcome, thank you for watching 😁👍
Man, this is a quality video-very impressed! I don’t know why you don’t have at least 500,000 subscribers. Thanks for the recommendations.
Thank you kind sir...I’m trying to get there 😉
Thank you so much for the videos
My pleasure!! Thank you for watching 😁
Great comprehensive review. My personal favorite is Bigfire because of the atmosphere and mac and cheese. Though I like Citywalk, I wish it was on Disney Springs’ level, in terms of restaurants.
Thank you! Yeah I’d have to agree, it’s not quite on the level of Disney Springs.
Thank you for your interesting and helpful tour of the restaurants at the Universal City Walk. Your number 3 would probably be my number 1 as I love the food and atmosphere there. The Cowfish also has a shake called Chocolate "to Dive for" which is something I always get when I go there. (It is an adult shake). Thank you again for your research.
Thank you Blake 😁
Toothsomes was, quality wise, one of our favorites! Enormous portions and almost everything is $12-16 an entree (not sure where you got your price points..we went there twice, and, while we mostly had sandwiches, BUT THEY ARE ENORMOUS!)...one of the most affordable meals we had the ENTIRE TWO WEEKS in Orlando, the cost of a meal at Chili’s...but much higher quality...AT A THEME PARK?! Are they Nuts?!
To us, Toothsome's food was quite bland and not very good
@@Lil_Angry_Bitch Agreed!
Another great video! You really can’t go wrong with Bubba Gump! It does however get very busy with it being the first restaurant by the City Walk entrance so I’d suggest getting there early.
Yeah I think it’s a lot of fun, love the atmosphere. Thanks again for watching 😁
The Frugal Brit - Orlando The atmosphere is great when it gets busier and they turn up the music!
love red oven pizza, good choices!
Thank you for watching 👍😁
I didn't see my favorite, Margaritaville, but seeing as though I haven't gone for more than 15 years, I am pleasantly surprised to see how many NEW great restaurants are around Citywalk! I'd love to give The Cowfish a chance!
We ate at cow fish and liked it! Highly recommend the Hokkaido nights cocktail and sesame chicken bites!
🤤
I’ve stumbled upon your channel and love the content & material I’ve seen thus far. I appreciate your constructive criticism and fair judgment with the information given that helps a lot!
No problem, appreciate the kind feedback! I try to be as balanced as possible.
I love the respect for Bread box. People really do overlook how good it is for the price.
Absolutely, it’s a great choice!
great video 👍
Thank you Jay, appreciate that!
I believe the hotdog stand is worth going to just for the cool stadium environment, but the CowFish restaurant is a must go for their food. I love sushi so I went to cowfish and they easily had the best sushi I've ever tried. If you're not a sushi person but want to try it, I recommend the Cheeseburger Sushi!! Breadbox had the nicest service we've ever received. (Btw, if anyone's a pickey eater like my brother, they have a burger king there)
Thanks for watching and for sharing your insight 👍😁
I went to Orlando in October 2019. It is the best holiday I've been on. My favourite is between Hard Rock, Bubba Gumps and Cowfish. I didn't get a chance to go to Voodoo Doughnuts, but when we go to California we will eat there.
Due to good planning, we were able to skip the big lines.
There’s no holiday like Orlando no doubt. Thanks for watching 👍😁
Voodoo doughnuts is not the best in my opinion. I’d go get the milkshakes at the steam punk place (I forget the name sorry😅) Those are very good!
Edit: Toothsomes sorry haha
Cowfish is my all time favorite! I go every year for my bday
@@mini_mew775 If only I could live in Florida. Here in England there aren't many restaurants like the ones in America.
@@DarthCheese want to trade lol
Good video. Going on my honeymoon to universal in 2 weeks and this gives some good information.
Glad you found it useful, hope you have an awesome trip!
im looking to go in 2022 may to universal for my first time,
these videos are GREAT info thanks a lot!
You’re very welcome, thanks for watching 👍😁
Great vid
Thank you! 👍
thanks for the video! you saved me a trip
👍
I’m new to your videos and I appreciate the thoroughness of your content. I will be visiting for the first time and now I will just need tips on how to get there from the Embassy suites near the airport which makes my life much easier!
Thank you, glad you’ve found it useful. Did you manage to figure out the transport?
@@TheFrugalBrit yes. Renting a car will be my choice because I don’t want to spend money on Ubers all 6 days. When we visit again I’ll probably stay at a hotel closer to the resorts or a resort specific hotel.
Hi there I'm a dishwasher at red oven. Happy you included it on your list.
Great pizza!
I used to be a dishwasher. Still get flashbacks of how gross it was emptying the grease at the end of the night 😂
NBC Sports Grill is one of our favorites and we love the shuffleboard tables!
Yeah difficult to leave that one off the ranking
@@TheFrugalBrit Yea that should of been #2 not a sandwich shop.
@@Anii6969 we were there when it first opened, decent food, great beer. Terrible reviews since, there must be a reason.
Glad another video is available. Visited Hard Rock Cafe but probably wouldn’t return. Too many choices to try out instead. Would love to try cow fish. 😁
Some nice choices for sure! Must admit though, Hard Rock is a guilty pleasure of mine 🙈 thank you for watching!
I recommend a bento box if you go to cowfish. You get a little bit of everything. OH and the brussel sprouts... To die for
What about the Bob Marley restaurant? It was nice with a live band when I went there twice. Good food.👌
I enjoyed it, but I just thought music and theming aside, the other options edged it for me. Thanks for watching!
To be fair Bob Marley is the some of the best food I have ever had.
The Cowfish is my favorite 😍 ❤️
👌
Thank you!
You're welcome! 😁
I’ve eaten at Vivo twice and it is so delicious
Indeed, fantastic restaurant, thanks for watching’ 👍😁
Great vlog. I always go to Margaritaville every visit but that's because I'm a Parrothead. Food always good though and I can skip fries here which is not possible in a lot of places. Never able to get in Toothsome, it's always packed with huge queues!
Yeah Margaritaville was difficult to leave out definitely. Was a close call 🙈 thanks for watching 👍😁
After my trip got cancelled back in 2020,i’m pretty eager to return to orlando. Btw,your videos are so professionally done.
Thank you! Hope you get to go back soon
Great choice putting Breadbox at No2 without doubt the top sandwich shop in Orlando
Thank you for that, it was controversial to have it at number two so I’m glad someone appreciate it 👍😁
@@TheFrugalBrit obviously more of a casual dine than the majority of the others but definitely deserves to be No2 👍🏻
We loved Panda Express when we last visited. We usually tend to go to Hard Rock as we love the atmosphere and all the memorabilia
To be fair, I love a Panda Express!
I mean there’s a Panda Express in literally every state (I think) it’s really a local restaurant
Amazing vids . Quick question what size serving is a glass of wine as it seems to be one standard size.
Me gustaron todos los restaurantes, aunque no en ese orden!☺
What is the song playing in the CowFish part of the video? I loved it. Also, I just discovered you via this video. I subscribed and will probably be bingeing your content. I'm shocked you don't have more subscribers because I'm so impressed with this video alone.
‘Sushi Master’ by Sight of Wonders 😉
@@TheFrugalBrit wow you're quick! Thank you so much!
No problem
Burger donut idk about that lol
I had the doughnut chicken sandwich from KFC.....SMACKIN!
They do Krispy Kreme burgers at the NC state fair here in the US. Two, maybe three bites is enough to experience it and not want to die. It’s honestly pretty good, if you split it three ways lol. We only got cheese and bacon. And plain doughnuts. Not like that’s much better 😂
Great video! Is reservation needed to get a table for these restaurants? If so, How much in advance?
Loved this video! What is the closest and best beach to visit when staying at an Orlando hotel/resort?
Cocoa beach is the closest but Clearwater is the best 👍😁
@@TheFrugalBrit thank you!
Very nicely done:-):[
Thank you 👍😁
@@TheFrugalBrit You're most welcome!
Thanks
Very welcome! 😁
Toothsome is amazing.
My kids love it 😁
This is my first day ever and I’m not a card holder so I was wondering if I could pay cash at all at city walk
Yes u can
Did you actually really like the antihitos place? It tasted okay except the corn but I mainly liked the design? Love the video ❤️
Thank you! Yeah I enjoyed it, especially the cocktails 🤪
Need more content!
Thanks.
You’re very welcome! 👍😁
Which restaurant has the pink doughnut burger?
Another great video, my brother is looking for a really good smokehouse to try out when we go 🤞🤞 do you have any recommendations, he’s a chef and really into his food. Thanks
Oooh, let me have a think, I’ll get back to you later on that. Ps, that comment surprised me for a second as my son’s name is ‘Milo Jack’ 😂.
The Frugal Brit - Orlando haha love the name Milo. Thank you 👍
VIVO yum
😋
Vivo is for sure the best!!
I concur! 👍😁
Good)
Tbh, I’ve tend to stumble into the Hard Rock Cafe over the other restaurants because they cook a pretty decent ribeye steak that pairs nice with a tall cold stout. Although I admit budget is on my mind if I’m going to choose a place like city walk to dine.
It gets a lot of hate, but I always have a good meal at a Hard Rock.
I haven’t finished the video but I think COWFISH is amazing
😁👍
Vivo was probably the best place we ate ,on universal city walk!
Agreed!
@@TheFrugalBrit Bella mama is very good too at Lowes portofino!
🤤🤤🤤Breadbox 🤤🤤🤤🤤
The restaurant I personally liked the most the Cajun restraunt Pat O'Brian's.
I need to give that another go! Thanks for watching 😁👍
my dad and I ate at bubba gump shrimp at universal studios Hollywood (we usually go to Orlando city walk) I never realized it was Forrest Gump themed till after I watched the film and actually ate at the restaurant, good food definitely would eat there again.
Can I pay cash In there restaurants at all
😂
Universal really needs to up their food game.
Me and the fam used to visit the Universal parks quite a bit, growing up in Florida, but City Walk? That was just the place we walked through to get to the parks, lol. We did all our dining parkside, so there was never really much *need* to go there, but eh.. The FOMO nagged at me every time we breezed our way through the place.. ^^"
I'm planning a future trip back there. Oh yes! Gonna chow down at a bunch of these places and see what I was missing xD
Yeah I was the same with my parents growing up when we went to universal. Maybe not the best value, but some good dining choices here. Thanks for watching 👍😁
For our upcoming trip we are doing toothsome, cowfish, and vivo!
👌👌
Margaretta Ville restaurant is also very good!!
I love the atmosphere, just wasn’t blown away by the food/menu.
