Dockside's Pier 8 Market

Good selection of food, with lots of options and Fast Service. Convenient location in the hotel. Way over priced!! Typical of Vacation resorts. My problem is spending $60 bucks for dinner for 3, that is almost warm. Great option for grabbing snacks, but forget a hot dinner.

They need to hire some ex-military chefs to whip that place into shape.

Food is average at best. Service isn’t great either. Burgers are awful. Worst burger I have ever had. The desserts are great options. Great place for a quick snack but nothing else.

Way overpriced for what they had on offer. Staff were nice enough but the food at any McDonald's would've been much better

Food was cold, and NOT fresh. Small portions for a HUGE price. Pizza was under cooked. Cheeseburgers were small and flat. Fries were old, cold and hard. Food was mediocre at best. Order out if you stay at Dockside!

Penny-pinching, expensive for what you get, and mediocre food. Go to the iHop across the road.

The food is the worst I have had, even from when inside a theme park. I ordered a hamburger, fries and coke. $20.24. It was old and horrible. The fries they changed for fruit (the guy providing couldn’t be nicer). But the food is disgusting. It makes McDonalds worth of a Michelin star.

Considering ordering fish from a non-resturant venue, the quality can be somewhat questionable. Surprisingly, the red snapper wasn't too bad for the price. The crispy skin added a good texture, yet it came at the cost portions of the fish becoming overcooked and too dry, noticeably along the edges. Luckily, the middle portion of the fish was cooked just about right. As for the creamy polenta, it was a bit too thick for my liking. It may have been possibly due to a higher ratio of cheese/heavy cream to cornmeal since the cheese taste was fairly pronounced. Another possibility is that the polenta dried out from sitting out too long. Despite this, the fish overall tasted fresh. Considering the price point and the overall quick service, it was rather well worth it.

Decent food for a touristy hotel, Universal’s Endless Summer Dockside Inn & Suites.

Clean & fairly new cafeteria. Option of Pizza, burgers, built your own salad, fruit bowl, pasta meals, grab & go.

The queues to paid gets long during dinner time when most guests return from Universal theme parks.

Nothing screams resort dining like bussing your own table after spending more than $20 per person for fast grab fast food that has been under a heat lamp. You would be better off getting in your car and driving off property. Universal loves making you feel like a pleb.

i ordered 2 pizzas and they both tastes horrible. they were rubbery, sitting under a hot lamp, and had to pay 30$. over priced for a pizza that can bought at a grocery store cheaper and better. feel like they should have better quality for a very popular theme park resort

I absolutely wouldn’t recommend any Asian come here, their employees are totally racist.
We stay here for three days, two nights there when we ordered pasta, the women really gave us bad experience, please consider other places.
