Mel's Diner 100 Universal City PlazaUpper Lot•Universal City, CA At this popular in-park eatery with an air of old jukebox diner, the inevitable lines move quickly, as folks grab their items from under the heat lamp, pay, and park themselves in an indoor booth or outdoor patio table. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, malts, and more are for grabs. My chicken sandwich was decent, though my preschooler ignored her chicken fingers and dove into her fries (another kids'-meal main option is the cheeseburger). Mel's Diner, along with the Jurassic Cafe, is among the participating eateries in the park's All You Can Eat Pass program. |
The Jurassic Cafe 100 Universal City PlazaLower Lot•Universal City, CA Burgers and pizza are the mainstay of this fast food-style eatery in the Lower Lot. The interior, with its dinosaur motif, offers lots of seating; outdoor patio seating is limited. It opens at 11 a.m., so if you are hungry before then, eat in the Upper Lot or on CityWalk. |
