Mel's Drive-in

Decent sandwiches and French fries. A little pricey, but not bad given that you’re at Universal. I got the Vegetarian chicken avocado and it was pretty good. Unfortunately, it is very crowded and confusing to order with the app. Eventually our food did come though after about 30 minutes. Overall the crowd and the time delay made it less enjoyable than it could have been otherwise. But everywhere else in the park would have the same problem.

Can't say enough about this place. This is top 5 food places @Universal in Fl. They offer burgera, chicken and yum yum salads!! to name a few, they also have a wonder staff headed by Danny who absolutely stepped up to help me and my family out with a lost order. I strongly recommend that Universal Management understand what an excellent employee you have here. Honestly if you are visiting stop in Mel's Dinner grab a shake and ask for Danny - nicest guy.

I would have given this review a 4/5 but my insanely picky husband was so adamant about how great his grilled chicken sandwich was, I'll give it full stars! Haha! We got the Chicken Tender combo and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich platter. The food is definitely pretty good, but it's very expensive. Our meal cost about 40 bucks for the 2 of us. My husband claims his chicken sandwich is the best chicken he's had in Florida (including at Disney) our entire stay. I enjoyed the chicken fingers as well and the onion rings were nice and big! I just wished there were more. We also got a shake. Be warned that the swirl option is not what it seems. The workers only have chocolate and vanilla options so they have to manually "swirl" it by going back and forth. Another tip. If you mobile order, don't wait around like we did. It's not the same as Disney - you have to check in with a worker so they can take your ticket to the kitchen. We didn't quite realize that and sat around for quite awhile. Haha! But we're pretty happy with everything! Definitely worth a stop. :)

Super good food. We had the shakes, bacon cheeseburger, and chicken tenders. They were all warm and delicious. I took away 1 star just because the pick up system is weird. You stand in a group in your “line”. Your drinks come first and then a while later your food. So you are standing awkwardly in their crowd holding your drinks waiting for your food. More and more people come to the front for their drinks so you get pushed back. Then your food comes up and you have to push back to the front.
