Universal Hollywood Dining Options

For the most part, Universal uses a third party like OpenTable to manage their online reservations. Because of this, the easiest way to get to them is by visiting Universal's dining page. No deposit is necessary to book a Universal restaurant reservation, so there's no penalty if your dinner plans were to change. For restaurants that do take advance reservations, they can be booked online through the Universal Studios Hollywood website, once logged into an account. I will book any and all reservations on your behalf. Know that there are no table-service restaurants within the park and you won't be able to make reservations in advance. If you are looking for a sit-down restaurant, there are plenty of options at CityWalk. Universal Studios Hollywood is divided roughly in half between upper and lower lots. The only way to reach the lower lot is via the “futuristic” (Universal's term, not ours) StarWay series of escalators. 

​

The Lower Lot, albeit smaller and with limited dining choices, is home to the popular Toadstool Cafe™.

Universal Studios Hollywood-Upper Lot
The Upper Lot is a conglomeration of different themed areas to enjoy and has the bulk of the rides and restaurants in the park. The restaurants at the Upper Lot are abundant and varied. From Mexican cuisine at Cocina Mexicana to American favorites at the Minion Cafe and Mel's Diner to French pastries and treats at French Street Bistro, there are plenty of options to choose from. Of course, there are also the many restaurants in Springfield USA and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that are easily accessible as you meander through the Upper Lot.
