The pina colada was sweet and didn't taste like alcohol. The JURASSIC WATER REBIRTH was decent and gets you to a pretty good level. It took about 8 minutes for the drinks to come out.

You would get a special discounted rate with a validation. It is a difference between $10-$15 as opposed to $40 flat rate. With that said, I have been doing it all wrong! I rarely come to CityWalk and when I do, I normally grab something fast, which I find to be overpriced and mediocre. This was not the case with NBC Sports Grill and Brew. I was AMAZED! I was schooled! This sports bar had the normal big screens playing with multiple games. It is sleek and modern and casual and I can see how that this place can be good for family hangouts, casual dates and catching up with friends. Staff was amazing and attentive. They are very friendly and often checked up on us. For the food- With this being a tourist spot, I was not expecting much. I was nicely surprised when then food came out! The grilled chicken Ceasar salad was okay. It was refreshing and light but I would like a little bit more parmesan cheese or anchovies. The BBQ nachos were delicious! It came with shredded pork, beer-cheddar queso, monterey cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, chives, BBQ sauce, bacon and I shared it with my sister. This and the salad were our main meals and we were satisfied. The chips were not my favorite kind but I was not bothered by it. The chips held up with the toppings. Now the star of the show was the Fried Chicken Cutlet. The breading was crispy and seasoned well and it was on top of a garlic mashed potato and grilled asparagus. Simple dish bit it was amazing! All the conditions lined up : good food, friendly service, great company on a Saturday afternoon. The vibe would be different if you come here at night.

I ordered the southwest salad and while it was decent, it had too many tortilla strips on it. It also came with a sweet dressing that did not complement the taste, so I'm glad I asked for that on the side and ranch instead. For being a sports bar/restaurant, I was also hoping I could have clear access to screens that displayed sports games but I did not have good access to any from my table. Portions were huge and mostly everyone in my party was satisfied with their food. I just wish service was a bit more attentive. Not sure if the automatic 18% gratuity made a difference in our service? Either way, I would give this place a 3/5 based off food being average, service being mediocre, and ambiance being subpar.

I liked the bacon and the chicken. The salmon was cooked perfectly for dinner and had a nice amount of gnocchi too. I had this twice and both times it was really good! Staff are very nice and the place is quiet and clean (sometimes). It got a little loud with children around but that makes sense since it's near Universal Studios. Otherwise, it was a good dining experience. Try the truffle fries!

Awesome outside dining…read more Friendly polite and welcoming staff. Located poolside in the Sheraton Hotel. I ordered the walnut crusted salmon that came with asparagus tips and gnocchi in a sauce that stole the show. I think it was a peppercorn sauce but if not , it was similar and tasted awesome on everything. The salmon was a big portion and cooked nicely. The crust was very tasty and well flavored. The garlic mashed potatoes had some chunks of potatoes that were great and made it definitely rustic style If you like gnocchi, you would probably like the ones prepared here. I have not found my love for gnocchi yet, but it looked great. The starter salad was fresh greens, tomatoes and croutons. The blue cheese dressing was pretty standard. I had a glass of Pinot noir and enjoyed the outdoor ambiance. Heat lamps were on, making it a lovely dining experience. One thing to note, is automatic 20% gratuity added to your bill. I was alone and didn't require a lot of attention as much as the groups 5- 8 people around me, and I would gladly have tipped it anyway, but I still like it to be my choice. Overall, a great restaurant.

After a full day at Universal Studios, we decided to stop by Margaritaville at Universal City Walk…read moreto avoid rush hour traffic congestion. It turned out to be an excellent idea. We happened to be there during Happy Hour. Happy Hour is M-F from 2-6pm. We ordered Margarita and Landshark Lager beer. They were both good. They were cold and refreshing. We also had shrimp tacos, cheeseburger and nachos from their happy hour menu. They were all delicious. The food came out quickly. My only complaint is that we do have to sit at the bar area to take advantage of the happy hour menu and pricing. I think it would have been more comfortable to sit at the main dining room area instead of cramming everyone at the bar counter while the rest of the restaurant was empty.

We came here on a Friday for lunch and we were seated immediately. Not that many other customers so service was pretty attentive and was there whenever we needed a water refill. I do have to say the theming of the restaurant is on point and I felt more at a tropical getaway at a beach than I did in an urban cement hellscape which is super nice. There is A LOT to look at from the decor on the walls and even on the ceiling, the tropical "birds", beach set pieces, pictures of Jimmy himself and much more. However, I do think it being a weekday lunch contributed to a bit of how bland everything was since it looks like it can be popping on a weekend night or when there's a live band playing on their stage. As for the food, I think this was a tad disappointing. If you stripped away the theming, I would not be able to tell this restaurant apart from any of the much more common, cheaper sit down restaurant franchises out there. I guess, never keep expectations too high, or at the very least with the "themed" restaurants in the US, it's just the decor and aesthetics and not necessarily the menu. I don't drink, but the others who did said their margaritas were decent. Nothing to write home about and similar to what they could possibly get elsewhere. I do have to say that they have a limited drink menu based on the Fan Fest Nights. My boyfriend got the Jurassic Park themed one and said it was a tad too sweet, but overall just a standard fruity alcoholic drink. I got a non-alcoholic pina colada and it tastes like a yummy pineapple coconut creamy slush. Not bad, but not substantial either. I got poke nachos and my friend got a poke bowl and it's literally the same poke but just with different carbs. Overall, it was mediocre at best. Can't really compare to places that do their own poke bowls, but the amount of tuna was not that much and I'll be honest, I wish there was at least a little more variety to this (choosing the protein for the poke, but alas). Other than that, the menu has the standard affair of pasta, Mexican dishes, chicken, salad, burgers, etc. Almost $200 for 4 people, so it was already a pricey start to the day and the fact that it was for just okay food that can easily be found elsewhere, I think I'd skip dining here unless it was super lively or there was more seasonal menu items.

At least you can upgrade to a souvenir plastic pilsner cup for only $2 (pretty annoying to stuff in a locker later on with your other stuff, so be mindful). We were allowed to walk around the park with the drinks, as well as queue up, provided we store the souvenir cup away with the finished drink when it was our turn. The Duff just tasted like any beer to an unrefined palate, and the sour tasted mildly better due as it was fruitier. The bartender was very nice and great with his recommendation when we explained our taste preference. You can walk to the Krusty Burger from inside, so it can make for a good combo in Springfield. While the theming is fun, I'm worried for its relevancy to today's generation, as well as the impending doom due to IP ownership. With licensing rights expiring in the near future, I'd try to enjoy the area while it's still possible.

It's in the middle of 2 other Springfield eateries (Krusty Burger and Cletus'), so if you can find seating there, you can try the other restaurants since they're all connected. Super cool that it looks exactly like Moe's Tavern on the outside as well. Pretty surreal to open the doors and enter what is a real life version of the series' location. My boyfriend got the Duff beer here in a collectible hard plastic glass. Service is efficient and the drinks come out fast. Aside from I think chips, there's not really food here. Mostly alcohol. He said it tastes like generic beer, but you're there for the theming, nostalgia, and such and not the quality I feel. Definitely worth going to and looking at all of the details as a fan!
