Bayliner Diner

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.

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.)

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.

The food here isn't bad, but it's nothing to write home about. I have given it 4 stars based on convenience. The Bayliner Diner stays open late so that you can have dinner there after the park closes. They offer a cup similar to the Freestyle cup at Universal Studio's, the only draw back is that it only works at Cabana Bay Beach, it doesn't work at the park. They have a deli, an Italian option (pizza, spaghetti, etc.), an international option (stir fry, jerk roasted chicken, etc.) and a burger option (burgers, chicken sandwich, chicken fingers, french fries) for dinner and lunch. These same four places offer different items for breakfast (breakfast sandwiches, waffles & pancakes, yogurt fruit, cereal. Retro commercials play on large screens on each end of the diner.

I think this is one of the best places for the value anywhere at Universal. I have tried a number of things here and have not been disappointed. This is a food court type restaurant. You get your food from on of 4-5 different stations, pay for it and then bring it out to the seating. Great for a family but it is not fine dining. Starting with breakfast. Breakfast is breakfast. I did not think is anything special and the prices were just ok. Nothing bad nothing great. The coffee is pretty poor however. Want good coffee, go to Starbucks. Lunch and dinner is where this place shines to me and especially the International window. Nothing is extreme and everything is toned down for American tastes so it is very tasty without being spicy/hot. The Last trip I had the Jerk Chicken which is really good. I had the daily carving on a different day which was a pork tenderloin which was also wonderful. The best was the Brazilian Beef Churrasco which was out of this world. Cooked to whatever doneness (medium rare for me) you wanted and served with 2 large sides (I had mashed potatoes w/gravy and Rice). The meat was perfectly cooked and really good. The sides were just what I expected with no complaints. A huge feast for right around $15.00. So a really good value compared to home prices. They also have icees here as well if that is something you like and you can use your length of stay refillable mug for the icees.

Located it the lobby of the Cabana Bay Resort, this is an excellent mini food court and grab and go. Lots of food options as well as beverages to include beer and wine. Great place to grab a quick breakfast and coffee before heading out on your park adventure or spend a day at the pools. Lunch items are fantastic as well, I like the Grilled Cheese with bacon or just a bowl of soup.

All day diner at Cabana Bay Resort . We Had breakfast during our stay here and can’t fault the omelettes which were really good ! The side of potatoes was really nice too! The waffle was pre made and only served with whipping cream and strawberries on top. Could have been better if they make fresh always ! Same for pan cakes , they aren’t made to order but already made in bulk . The almond croissants from the pick up bar are made really well! Overall a nice place to grab a quick bite before heading off to the theme parks !

Located inside of Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort, Bayliner Diner is a food court style dining with a wide variety of options, including Vegetarian and Vegan plant-based options. Expect the faux meat options to be the main option here and the Vegan options to be few from what I could tell, especially in the snack and cooler section. I was delighted to see a salad bar though which isn't something typically offered across the themepark properties. Don't miss out on Shakes Malt Shoppe either which just recently opened in the corner and they have a Vegan Oat based shake.
