    cheese fondue
    Rey S.

    This place was solid. nothing outstanding, nothing out of order, just a strong entry into the upscale burger and steak category with bit of a flare. Ate here with my wife and a friend and we shared a Burger, the cheese fondue and some flat bread. Nothing was special, but everything held up to a good standard. The flat bread was a bit bland, and the cheese was a bit clumpy, but the ingredients all seems fresh and the portions sizes were good. The prices are city walk prices so know going in that there's nothing cheap on the menu. The place was spacious though and the service was good which puts it above several other places in the area. If you are looking for American fare with a little elevation this is a good option

    We stopped into Bigfire on a Tuesday evening. The menu has been curated for upscale dining, and the prices reflect the high quality of the food. $26 was the lowest priced entree. A $26 (and fries, which wasn't listed in the menu. I mean, it was a good burger. Maybe I'm just getting too old, but I don't know how anyone affords meals in the Universal City Walk. Anyway, our server, Autumn, was very nice, attentive without hovering, and knowledgeable about the menu. I thought the ambiance was lovely. High ceilings, so it wasn't loud.

    Finding a decent and affordable sitdown restaurant in a touristy destination like City Walk is like winning the lottory! So glad that my friends and I randomly decided to eat here. Looking around at other people's plates, the food looked super good and filling. I just went with the burger and was pleased. I believe our server's name was Angel, and she was wonderful. And the ambiance was that of a casual steak house and was great for people watching. My buddy forgot his crossbody and because I put my number down for our reservation, the restaurant was able to text us and alert us. Super grateful for that.

    The service this time was outstanding! I believe our waiter's name was Josh, and he did an excellent job. Thank you for providing such great service. My husband tried the steak again after several years and really enjoyed it this time. We also tried the Alaskan dessert, but it was just average. I'd recommend sticking with the chocolate cake or the s'mores instead. I ordered the salmon, which Josh recommended, and I'd give it an 8/10. It was good, but compared to the lamb shanks, I'd choose the lamb shanks again without hesitation! Pro tip: Make a reservation ahead of time to make getting a table much easier for your party.

    The food was delicious just like it was three months ago. The only sad thing is, we don't live close enough to come more often. Our server, Keith was super nice and was a wonderful waiter. It was a fun experience to have seats right in front of the grill. Anthony cooked a mean steak for my husband. It's always nice to come here and leave with a full belly and leftovers!

    The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked! Might be a bit pricey here, but it is worth it. We also got the Premium Angus Ribeye Steak along with the Gorgonzola Truffle Butter (which I felt they should offer a smaller half size for half the price) and it was so good! My friend got the brussel sprouts, and a baked potato and the potato was huge! I did get the Raspberry Lemonade too and it was a refreshing drink. The ambience of this place makes me think of a restaurant you might find at a ski lodge, though this FL girl has never been. Just with the smell of wood in the air is so nice. We had a great server who checked in on us often, that was great service! I would definitely go back.

    Was here with some friends. The place is huge with plenty of seating and cool vibes. SERVICE: It was great this evening as far as friendliness goes. It did take some time to get our drinks and the server disappeared every now and then. (This the 4 instead of 5 stars) FOOD: Super tasty!! We tried a few things from their burger to the ribeye. Everything was cooked right and tasted great!! If you are at Citywalk - this is a good option for you.

    Plant Based Steak
    Sami M.

    Stopped in for dinner after a day at epic universe and it was such a good experience. I am vegetarian so we stopped in for the plant based steak. Best steak I've ever had! We also started with the Brussels sprouts... phenomenal. Ended the meal with a peach cobbler that melted in my mouth. Really good service as well, our waiter Keith was kind and attentive. We will be coming back and bringing friends!!

    Another great dinner at Bigfire. This time we were seated in the main downstairs area and it was a busy night. We frequently had people squeezing in between our table and the other ones next to us. I would recommend requesting to sit upstairs. They have some cool seating where you can look over the edge. Our food was delicious, as always, and perfectly cooked. I don't generally like carrots, but these were really good. I had to try my husband's fries, for research purposes, and those were nice and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, hot and fresh.

    Pros: great service, great food, great setting Cons: salmon was mid We had an amazing time here! I don't usually give out five stars, so this is a big deal for me. Right off the bat our server, Rebekah, was FANTASTIC. Could not recommend her enough. We had reservations at 7pm, and they sat us right around that time! We got two Hugo spritz's which were delicious, the fondue and butternut squash soup to start. Everything was super delicious, we never stopped and thought "where is our food", and Rebekah checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. For the main dish we had the vegan steak and the salmon. The vegan steak is to die for. It's sooo yummy, and doesn't feel like you are eating veggies at all. The salmon wasn't anything special, but it was still good enough that we ate it all! The sauce they put it in was very good. We had the s'mores for dessert which was such a fun experience. And we ordered two more spritz's. Even after our check was paid we didn't feel rushed at all, and we got to finish our drinks in peace. The place itself was super cute. We sat in an area looking outside which was nice. It didn't feel super crowded or packed together. I didn't see any booths which was fine, but we usually prefer a booth over normal seating. The food was all delicious, our server was hands down the best server I've had at universal, and overall the experience was such a good way to end our day! I would 100% come here again, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice dinner out in citywalk!

    Seasoned stone fruit Salad

    Here for a friend's birthday about early February! We got seated fairly quickly but I think my friend has the reservation for that! The menu is fairly high price and the receptionist is very friendly. However the server is a little disappointed to us. But anyway, I ordered a salad and a drink. It was ok. The restaurant is clean and well decorated but I felt like it is more for the tourist than my liking!

    The food was great bbq flat bread and the bbq nachos and cheese. My wife had the mussels and my daughter the chicken finger. Patric our server was exceptional can't wait to go back.

    Smoked trout dip
    Glenn M.

    So yummy! 4 of us had dinner here on Jan the 2nd We ordered the Brussel sprouts and smoked trout dip for appetizers. They were both very delicious!! Brussel Sprouts were cooked perfectly and hit the spot. The smoked trout is delicious! Perfect amount of smoking on a dip made of smoked trout. It's served with crackers and it's wonderful! My wife and daughter ordered the Salmon and loved it! Generous piece of grilled salmon perfectly done was so delicious! I had the short rib and it was yummy! Tender smoked short rib covered with a tangy bbq sauce. Very tender and yummy! My son had the mussel appetizer along with a side of mac n cheese. He loved it! Mussels perfectly cooked served with a cheesy Mac n cheese covered with smoked pulled pork. He loved it! Please see the pictures below and let your eyes do some feasting!

    Is it safe to walk-in on a Saturday night without reservations?

    Do not make that mistake. Always always always make reservations.

    If you were on the dining plan, were you able to order anything from the menu or was it a limited menu?

    Hi! I was able to order anything entree wise, at the time they had a thanksgiving set with turkey and fixings but that was the only exclusion. Desserts were limited to what was called chefs choice so you get whatever they are willing to provide… 

    Does Big Fire participate in the Universal Dining Plan?

    Big Fire is part of Universal's Dinning Plan. I ate there for my birthday in December and it was very delicious! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!…

"Cheesesteak" was served on some type a harder/denser hoagie roll, like Italian bread idk... but def not on the bread a cheesesteak should be on. & it was about 5-6 inches long, which is way smaller than we imagined considering the picture on the menu or compared to cheesesteaks served in other restaurants. Sandwiches overall were good flavor-wise. Sauces needed a stronger flavor profile, all very similar and hard to distinguish the differences. Restaurant was way bigger than we expected it to be inside. Decor was cute. Looked nice and clean in the dining room. The bathrooms were disgusting and unkept. Service was lacking. Cashier seemed new (which is fine) but the other coworkers seemed annoyed they had to assist her or that she didn't know everything. She was helpful and nice to us. Cutlery, napkins, and ketchup were hiding near the soda fountain and we weren't aware of this. Accidentally took some of the togo ketchup packets to use with our fries since we didn't know there was a ketchup dispenser. These items need to be in a better spot or the food runner should direct the customers to that area so they can get the things they need for their meals. Won't be back, but I guess we're glad we tried it. Halal certified restaurant

Looking around after the game, a smash burger sounded like just the thing we needed. Ambiance was nice. Good, chill vibes, a random door to a random next-door bar. Plenty of viable seating for my party of six. Service was pretty ok. The front counter worker was nice enough, but the food took forever to come out. Much longer than I would expect for the products we ordered. The food itself was dynamite. I got the Papi Big Mak (Two Florida-raised beef patties, smashed onions, lettuce, American cheese, sweet-heat pickles, tostone "Middle Bun" , Papi Mak sauce, Sesame Martin Potato Roll). This was a fun thing. The patties had a good crisp to them. The totstone did not, though, so it got a little lost in the bite and chew. Needed more sauce. And that sesame seed bun really helped out a lot, too. A little extra texture in every bite. I was a fan. I also got the chance to try the Umami Papi (Two Florida-raised beef patties, crispy bacon, white cheese, sweet-heat pickles, crispy onion, raspberry jam, Uuuumami truffle sauce, sesame buns). This one was a better topping combination. The pickles had a nice pop of acid, the raspberry jam really stood out, adding a nice sweetness, and the truffle sauce, never thought I needed it on a burger. I did. Standout burger. I also got the Papis Loco Fries. I forget exactly what these fries were topped with, but the cheese, just look at it. Congealed just perfectly. A good side item, for sure. Overall, this greasy meal is out there doing the good work for the people. Maybe this was a four star meal overall, but I'm not sitting, that Umami Papi was a standout for me, and the reason I now give five stars.

Nice, crispy edges on the patties, and I loved how many sesame seeds were on the buns. Great flavor. Cons: The only thing was that they waited for our whole party's order to be ready before calling names, instead of just serving them as they came. This lead to cold burgers. Tips: Make sure you arrive early! If you wait too long, they switch to a smaller, less interesting menu.

To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

    I sadly just realized that I have never reviewed Freddy's. I have been here so often that I…read moreassumed that I already had! Time to fix that oversight. Now this review has nothing to do with that my father's name was Freddy and that my mother's favorite treat was frozen custard. But those little tidbits of information don't hurt. The warm feeling that I get when I eat frozen custard reminiscent of enjoying it on the boardwalk with my mom is renewed at Freddy's not because of the ambience of the restaurant, but because of that same delicious taste that my mind still seems to remember from long ago that I have not found anywhere else before this. But I digress. Freddy's may look like your typical fast food restaurant, but it is anything but. I already loved it for the burgers, the french fries with their wonderful sauce, and of course, the custard but now they have a salad as well. Really fresh greens with my favorite burger on top as a garnish. Low-carb great taste and totally filling. But not so filling as to not leave room for that wonderful custard. On this particular visit, I did run into an issue which I will not lower my rating because of, but want people aware of so it does not happen to them. If you have a coupon for a discounted custard, and they ring in any other item after that, it will restore the custard to the full price on their register. I did not notice that and paid the full price. The manager did give me a card for a free custard next visit so they certainly took responsibility but just wanted people aware to keep an eye on that. In defense of the staff, I don't think they noticed either that it had occurred, so I did not allow that to detract from my impression of five star service from their pleasant, friendly and attentive staff Of course the custard is a star. It comes in all sorts of different ways to serve it. I tend to usually be a purist indeed, as a soft serve, but sometimes their specials are so exciting that I cannot resist. I have never tasted any of them that I did not find awesome. Their steakburgers should not be left as an afterthought. These are not like other fast food burgers; the meat is actually very tasty and because there's not any "proprietary" seasonings on it I even order an extra one so that I can sit outside with my puppy and she can enjoy it. It is small enough to not be unhealthy for her and big enough to be a satisfying snack. Its fat content does not make her ill like the typical fast food burger would. I personally like the fries and find the sauces to be quite good. Prices are more than reasonable and they have hours that make them convenient whenever you're hungry or craving that custard fix. I am a Freddy's fan and wish they would open one closer to where I live in Miami.

The resturant inside was very clean, and the employees working behind the counter were very nonchalant. I ended up ordering their grilled chicken sandwich combo with their famous skinny fries. My mom got the Freddy's Original double combo with a Turtle milkshake and onion rings. The sandwich portion was big. The chicken was very juicy and tasted alright. The fries, however, were not seasoned. I had to get a salt and pepper packet to season them. At that point, they were very good, tasty, and crispy! Overall, the meal was okay. It was nothing spectacular but also nothing terrible either. As for my mom, she wasn't very impressed with her hamburger. She said the portion size was good, but she would describe the hamburger itself as "lacy." She said it was okay, but since it took us 27 minutes to get here, she said Culver's was better in quality and closer. She was underwhelmed by the onion rings. She said it was more of the fried breading and barely any onion inside. However, she did enjoy her milkshake, but struggled to suck it up through the straw. It was enjoyable to try a new establishment, but it was just a mid experience for me.
