Even though the ride was down for maintenance, we still needed a bite to eat and decided to stop into Jurassic Cafe. There weren’t a ton of menu options, and the setup honestly reminded me of a ski lodge or school cafeteria very grab-your-tray, move down the line style. My partner and I split the chicken strips and fries. Just a heads up ranch costs extra at the register, but barbecue sauce was available at the end of the counter before paying. After you check out, there’s a station with straws, ketchup, mustard, etc. It was actually pretty chilly inside from the air conditioning, so we chose to sit outside instead and enjoyed the sunshine and nice weather, which made the experience better. The portion size was perfect and the chicken strips were good. The fries weren’t my favorite but o

The lines were a little long so I mobile ordered. I enjoyed the burger although the lettuce looked a little old. The fries were perfect! Nice, hot and fresh. It took them awhile to hand me my order but the food was still delicious.

The worst BBQ sandwich I've ever had. The pulled chicken was dry with zero flavor. The bun was stale. Fried were cold. At $16, this was nothing short of highway robbery.

This used to be one of my favorite places to check out when we would go to Universal Studios however, as of late, it has not been great. I actually used to love getting their Poké bowl here or the Caesar salad. This time my husband got the burger and I got the clam chowder since I wasn’t super hungry and the salad did not look appetizing. They had chili listed on their online menu, which is what i was going to order, however it was unavailable when we approached the counter. Clam chowder came in a bread bowl, which was stale, and honestly if it came out of a can, I’m kind of surprised because all of the potatoes inside were different sizes and cooked to varying degrees. The clams are chewy and it had a very smoky taste overall which I did not enjoy. The burger was also underwhelming along

We had a great meal at Jurassic Café inside Universal Studios Hollywood. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the salad was enormous and well-prepared. The ambiance, themed around the Jurassic Park franchise, added to the dining experience, making it a fun and satisfying stop during our visit to the park. Highly recommend for a quick and tasty bite!
