4. Finnegan’s Bar and Grill
Step off Universal Studios’ New York streets into this traditional Irish-American pub. Finnegan’s is both a lively bar and a full-service restaurant. It features authentic Irish dishes like Bangers and Mash, Shepherd’s Pie, and Guinness Beef Stew. The Soda bread is worth a visit. Good food and fun atmosphere place Finnegan’s at number four!
5. Vivo Italian Kitchen
Vivo Italian Kitchen is a delicious Italian restaurant located in Citywalk. It’s a perfect spot to load up on large portions of food after walking around theme parks all day. It’s traditional Italian in a modern and sleek setting. The pasta is all made right there in house. It’s definitely a restaurant to visit if you’re craving Italian.
6. Mythos
Located in the Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure is Mythos. This is an award-winning full-service restaurant which features modern cuisine in a mythical setting. You can order a mix of Mediterranean, Asian and American fare. I’ve heard so many amazing things about Mythos. Make sure to order the Fork, Knife and Spoon Grilled Cheese.
7. Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food
Another amazing Citywalk restaurant is Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food. This colorful restaurant is like a lively cantina! Made-from-scratch Mexican street fare, including tacos, empanadas, fajitas and more can be found on the menu.
8. Bigfire
If you’re wanting some amazing steak and flame kissed cuisine, Bigfire is for you. Another Citywalk location makes the list. Elevated American fare like steaks and freshwater cuisine are given the fire-kissed treatment and enhanced using different woods, flavoring your meal with smoky goodness. And for dessert, you can roast s’mores right at your table with a delicious assortment of graham crackers, chocolates and marshmallows.

You can relax to some live music on the patio and enjoy the end to a perfect day.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. serves up this versatile seafood along with a host of Southern favorites, from award-winning baby back ribs to fried chicken, fresh fish dishes, and homemade desserts.
