Any time I visit Universal Studios Hollywood, I usually spend most of my day in the Lower Lot, re-riding Revenge of the Mummy and taking the plunge at Jurassic World — The Ride. And after taking in the gorgeous views of the San Fernando Valley on the Starway, exploring ancient Egyptian ruins and running away from giant dinosaurs, it’s no wonder I usually find myself having worked up an appetite. Luckily, there are many places to grab a bite and satisfy any craving. From Toadstool Cafe in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD to prehistoric-inspired bites in Jurassic World, here’s a list of all the snack carts, bars, and restaurants in the Lower Lot at Universal Studios Hollywood.
PRO TIP: Check out the Universal Studios Hollywood app for a more in-depth look at each menu and to mobile order your food at select locations.
Jurassic World
Jurassic Cafe
For the hungry dino lover looking to eat like a prehistoric creature, try out the Jurassic Cafe. They’ve got breakfast platters (on certain mornings each week), burgers, salads and desserts. Try the Apex Predator for a smoked turkey leg and fries, the Treacherous Water for a fried fish sandwich, or some Pterodactyl Claws — those being chicken strips, of course. Top things off with the decadent Dino Dig Chocolate Cake, pictured above.
Jurassic Cafe also serves boxed water, fountain drinks, coffee, juice and non-alcoholic refreshers. For my friends over the age of 21 (with a valid ID), you can order from a wide variety of canned and bottled beer, ciders, and cocktails.
Isla Nu-Bar
With a tropical aesthetic and a menu full of cocktails, beer and wine, you’ll find all of your rum, liqueur and tequila cravings satisfied at Isla Nu-Bar. Better yet, you can get your drinks served in a souvenir Bamboo Tiki cup to commemorate your visit to Jurassic World.
Transformers Metrobase
Mummy Eats
Mummy Eats is located right next to the entrance for Revenge of the Mummy — The Ride. Here, you can find a beef hot dog mummified in golden-brown goodness, otherwise known as a corn dog. Choose a spicy, classic, or Korean-style corn dog, a bag of chips and grab a churro for dessert. Stay hydrated after screaming for your soul in Imhotep’s tomb and purchase bottled water, a fountain drink, or a canned beer or cocktail (if you’re over 21).
Panda Express
Craving a quick, Asian-inspired meal? At Panda Express, you can grab a bowl or plate of fried rice, chow mein, broccoli beef, kung pao chicken, or orange chicken. Choose from their wide variety of sides and desserts including spring rolls, fruit cups, and chocolate chip cookies.
Studio Scoop
If you love ice cream as much as I do, then Studio Scoop is where you’ll want to be. From soft serve ice cream to sundaes and milkshakes, you can customize any cone or cup to your satisfaction. And if you need a little drink to wash down the sweetness, you can purchase bottled water, fountain drinks, or hot chocolate here.
Studio Cafe
The Studio Cafe is your go-to spot for on-the-go snacks, sweets, and sandwiches. Purchase a California roll, vegan banh mi, a turkey and swiss sandwich or a chicken ceasar salad. Grab a turkey leg or a personal pizza. Choose from their assortment of chips, charcuterie boxes, cookies, muffins, or frozen treats. Stay hydrated with some bottled water, soda, juice, or an energy drink to give you that extra boost.
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD Popcorn and Drink Cart
Located right across from Mummy Eats, the SUPER NINTENDO WORLD Popcorn and Drink Cart sells popcorn in the Nintendo-themed popcorn buckets of your dreams. Their menu also includes bottled water and fountain drinks in your choice of collectible drink bottle. Need a little energy boost? Their fruity cream sodas are a fun and refreshing way to quench your thirst. Try Mario’s Strawberry Soda, Luigi’s Green Apple Soda, or Princess Peach’s Peach Soda — each with a fun straw!
Toadstool Cafe
Chef Toad is serving up tasty Mushroom Kingdom-themed delicacies at Toadstool Cafe. Try the Mario Burger, Fire Flower Spaghetti & Meatballs, or Bowser’s Fireball Challenge. For dessert, have the ? Block Tiramisu, the Mt. Beanpole Cake, or (my favorite) the Princess Peach Cupcake.
PRO TIP: Have you heard it’s even easier now to get a table at Toadstool Cafe? Whether you’re planning a day at the park or you’re already here, you can now add fun and flavor by making dining reservations through our Universal Studios Hollywood App or website.
