Let me offer just one suggestion: Improve your hash brown potatoes. The day I had them, they were barely edible. I think my impression of the food would have been quite different had the potatoes been at least average.

The food is pre-cooked, bland and pretty greezy. Ate here once and then didn't go back. Starbucks is a much safer option, especially if you have a sensitive stomach. The whole area feels dated (and not in a cool vintage way). Definitely in need of an update/

This restaurant is located inside the hotel, not far from the lobby. It was a vintage experience for me, but very entertaining indeed. You can choose between several stations and what type of food you want. Once you have gotten your food, you go to the cashiers and pay. The dining room is huge, with old animations on the screens that make your experience entertaining. The decoration is like the rest of the Hotel, based on the 50s. The best breakfast I have had in a long time was in this place. Regarding the staff, some members (not all) were not friendly.

My family has eaten meals here several times, as we are here at the resort for a week. We ordered the pizza for pickup (excellent crust and very fresh), as well as chicken tenders and burgers. I particularly enjoyed the food at the international cafe: the combinations tasted much more like home-cooked meals and were truly delicious and appetizing. Ate the beef churrasco with herb sauce, jerk chicken, beef sirloin, pork osso bucco and the seared tuna (spectacular presentation!). The quantities are quite large so after a day or two, our family shared entrees - one for two people. The atmosphere for dining is really relaxing and fun for families, and a great place to come back to after a day out at Universal theme parks. Compliments to the chefs and staff!
This food has less taste then a rubber band with salt added to it.

We absolutely think this is a great option if you are staying on resort. The refillable cups are a must for the duration of your stay. One thing to add is they could offer some more heather options. If you are staying on resort for a week you will definitely want to look into other food options. Over all though this is a great quick service restaurant.

We got in late & wasn't expecting much in quality but the food was fantastic really made things better!
This place is such a great amenity for Cabana Bay. There is something for everyone. My wife has a gluten allergy and the chef prepared her a meal to accommodate her dietary needs. WE ate two meals here during our stay. I had churrasco beef and then the super salad. My wife had gluten free pizza and gluten free chicken nuggets. The salad was probably the best salad I have had in a very long time and felt like a great value at under $10. The gluten free chicken nuggets were top notch. Glad to report that my wife had no adverse reactions after eating here. Don't make a special trip here if you are not staying on property, but if you are there take advantage of the options.

This is such a great option for a sit-down family meal! There are several bays to choose from with plenty of choices for kids and adults alike. Vegan meals available. You can also grab some prepackaged snacks and sandwiches. Fair warning: The side of fries that comes with the burgers is over the top! I suggest if kids are ordering similar meals that one gets fries, the other fruit -- there will be plenty to share! (See pictures.)

We ate here breakfast and dinner. Both times the food was below average and cold. Mcdonalds is better and I hate McDonald's. Service horable don't ask questions they don't speak English and then very rude when you found someone.

It is basically the only restaurant in the resort so you are forced to eat there. I say forced because I don’t know why anyone would willing eat there. Everything is incredibly bland, nuked, and sometimes your plate of food is both hot and cold. We were disappointed every single time. We will never return to Cabana Bay, mostly because of the lack of food options. Do not recommend.

Meals were great, every night each of the food stations offered daily specials over and above the regular menu options. Plenty of seating in a great atmosphere. Came back for a second year, Meals were great, looked for to the daily specials at each station which changed every evening. The new addition of the Shakes Malr Shoppe is fantastic.
