    When everything in the park is expensive, I think I really got our value from this place. We checked out a restaurant near by and it costs almost $20 for a burger. But for this place we got chicken, ribs, rice, beans, corn, and drinks for $22. I consider this was a steal, the food tasted excellent. The food didn't come as fast as we hoped for but the service was excellent. It was nice to seat down to relax for our meal. I will come back for sure.

    Yummy Spanish vibes in Islands of Adventure! When I saw Sancocho on the menu I went Ooooooo!!!! I was not in the mood for soup that day but glad to see diversity!!! ++ roasted pork And cheese nachos ++ side salad with citrus vinaigrette ++ bottled water Loved the chandelier and all the Dino decorations. Ordered food from the QR code and it came promptly during the lunch rush. You have great views of the Jurassic park drop and can see water flying every 5ish minutes. We came in time for Christmas decorations!

    Chicken & Pernil Platter ($23.49) - I liked the flavor of the chicken and the pernil reminded me of Kalua Pork. Both could've been juicier though.

    During our stay at the Universal Orlando resort in December 2024, we visited Thunder Falls Terrace for lunch. I'm a fan of Jurassic Park and so is my dad, so this seemed like a fun location to stop by as the ambiance reminds me of the movie franchise. Though we usually don't enjoy the cafeteria style dining as prefer table service, this was still a great location. Rice Bowl Meatless Chorizo - $17.99 Pork Belly Nachos - $16.99 Ribs & Chicken Platter - $19.99 Soda - $4.99 I loved that there was a meatless chorizo rice bowl and was surprised at how large the portion was for under $20. All of us were happy with our meals, and found ourselves properly stuffed the rest of the day. Great fuel for lots of walking and sight seeing.

    Was so happy to find some Hispanic flavors in Island of Adventure! The food was truly flavorful, and they also had delicious vegan options for my friend! If you're looking for a more quiet place away from the larger crowds to enjoy a delicious meal, Thunder Falls Terrace is the place to go. It's a sit down restaurant where you order within the app and they bring it to your table! I got the Pernil Platter which felt like a home cooked meal as a posed to the phrase "theme park food". I knew Universal had some great bites and I'm happy to add this place to the list!

    Impossible chorizo bowl

    This was the best place I ate at Island of Adventure! I loved the theming, super cool, feels like you are in a rocky terrace over a waterfall. Tons of natural light, and I liked our view of the end of the Jurassic Park ride, classic! We needed some lunch and I am gluten free and vegetarian, so it can be a challenge to find good theme park food that will increase my energy. I ended up getting an impossible chorizo bowl and was delighted! The beans were flavorful, fresh avocado, the impossible chorizo was in a sauce with lovely flavor. I was expecting something similar to a Chipotle bowl but it was MUCH more elevated. I felt full and energized for the rest of my park day, super impressive! What is better than a healthy meal with a view of people getting soaked on a ride?

    At first I was confused because there were employees standing right by the doors, thought they were hosts, but they were just talking to each other. While blocking the door. That wasn't great. It's more a cafeteria ordering style. Though I really wish the menu font was bigger. It was behind the counter so you could only get so close and it was hard to see it. Our cashier and the chef were wonderful though. I let them know I was allergic to raw onions (but cooked is fine. Heat breaks down the allergen) and they made sure I'd be safe. The chef personally came out to talk to me. I really appreciated the care and attention to detail. Food was good! I wish there was more dinosaur theming with it though. Love the restaurant interior. You really feel like you're visiting Jurassic Park. Definitely worth a visit if you're a fan of the movie.

    Visited on a Friday and was seated immediately. The male hostess was so nice and sweet. We ordered the nachos and an alcoholic banana drink both were delicious!

    Half rotisserie chicken, corn on the Cobb and seasoned potatoes
    Lisa B.

    Really enjoyed this place. Had a great view of the park and you could see people on the Jurassic ride. It was really cool to see up close the water splash. Food was fantastic! You can't find this much food for the price. Half a chicken, corn and potatoes. Portions are huge and can be split with 2 people. Great flavor! You go in, find a table and order at your table. They will deliver it to you making it easy!

    Ribs
    Michael S.

    I mean. It's park food. Dont expect to be blown away But when the food is surprisingly decent AND not super super overpriced it's a win Service wasn't bad. They had a bunch of people clearing tables fast and bringing us napkins. It's packed inside obviously but there's a bunch of seating. You go up and order, grab a buzzer and wait. Typical amusement park style I got the ribs and potatoes. Ribs flavored well, not cooked to perfection to where they completely fell off. They needed a tiny tug. The potatoes drowned in butter and seasoned well. Melt in your mouth but also give you like 2 red potatoes cut in half which is a bummer. Corn is corn. Can't complain there It's getting a 2/5 because in all reality it's not that good of food in the grand scheme and portions suck. But for park food it's good

    David S.

    Solid all around. Nothing jumps out at you saying "this is amazing!!" But nothing was bad either. They put a ton of meat on the plate but very little amount of potatoes. The corn was probably sitting for awhile because it had a weird chewy texture but it tasted fine. The rice bowl could've used more than 2 plantains. Service was helpful with getting additional sauce. I would go back but it wasn't super great

    Personally I feel like the giant turkey leg is a very safe option for theme park food. It's fairly priced (relatively speaking) and should be more than filling for your standard adult. This is a big clean restaurant where you can sit down enjoy the AC and order your food through the mobile app. Thunder Falls and The Three Broomsticks would be go to spots at Universal for a quick meal.

    roasted chicken salad $13 Pernil plate $17 Rice bowl $16 Chicken and pernil $17 The rice bowl had rice, black beans, salsa, plantains and cheese. The platter had rice, black beans and plantains. I got the platter because it came with a larger meat portion for the meal. The meat was very fatty for the platter but I did like the larger portion of meat on this in comparison to the rice bowl.

We went in to order since I had a few questions, and the staff couldn't have been nicer, even with how busy it was. There's no indoor seating, but there are a few tables outside if you want to hang out while you wait or eat there. (We ordered then walked over to Runabout Brewing for a beer while we waited) We went all in with the family deal: 50 wings, 2 fries, and 4 drinks. The wings were big, crispy, and cooked just right. We tried a mix of flavors: KB's Secret Rub (dry rub), That Honey Garlic, That Lemon Pepper, KB's Sweet Heat, and That Fiery Garlic Parm. The standout favorite for our group was That Honey Garlic, while the Lemon Pepper didn't quite hit the same for our group. The other three flavors were also very delicious! The fries were just as tasty.. crinkle cut and crispy. We got both the plain and the "secret rub" fries, and honestly, no complaints on either (the secret rub has a slightly sweet, BBQ-style flavor). The homemade dipping sauces were a nice bonus too. The ranch leans heavy on dill (in a good way) and the blue cheese has the perfect tang. Overall, I'm a big fan. I'll definitely be back and recommending it to anyone craving solid wings! (another thing to note: it's a cashless restaurant)

There were no customers when we arrived, so I was skeptical. But the staff assured me we were at the right place for wings. They sold me on their sauces being authentic and house made. So I tried. We ordered Honey Garlic, Lemon Pepper, and Garlic Parmesan. Also ordered a couple cheeseburgers. Everything came out fresh and hot to order. Place could've been a five star review but the sauce on the Honey Garlic (preponderance of the order) was not what I was accustomed to. Not enough honey and it seemed to buttery - almost like it would be better on crabs. Great blue cheese dip But loved the staff and service. Would return and get a dry wing.

From the moment we walked in, he made sure to ask us questions and give recommendations because it was our first time. He let us know that these were the best burgers in Orlando, and he wasn't lying. The food, although a little pricey, was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Bangin' Shrimp as an appetizer, which blew me away. The shrimp had a tempura fry to it, giving it a perfectly crispy crunch. The sauces that were drizzled on top helped to amplify the flavor of the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Shroom N Swiss burger. I love how thick and juicy the burger patties are. It's hard to find a good burger place that has thick patties, and The Whiskey delivers that meat. Another thing that blew me away was the mushroom that came on top. Usually, mushroom burgers have little slices of mushrooms, but this burger had a big fat slice of mushroom on top. And it tasted so good. This is a perfect atmosphere to come in, grab a couple drinks, eat good food, and maybe even catch a sports game or live music. Only thing I will say is that it may be a little loud for some, making it hard to hear conversations. But if you love a loud atmosphere, then this place is perfect!

I already knew what I wanted... hubby? Not so much . Since he's actually been to Korea, he took his time looking things over and ordered the beef bulgogi to go.

I got the Chi Bop and listennnn ... chef's kiss. I demolished that bowl with absolutely no shame whatsoever . The flavor was THERE. Fresh, hot, comforting, and seasoned like somebody in that kitchen cares about their craft. Sometimes folks overdo stuff. This spot let the food speak for itself. I also appreciated how welcoming the atmosphere felt. Nothing pretentious... just good food, good portions, and good energy. Needless to say... I'll absolutely be telling my good sis to pull up quick, fast and in a hurry because this spot is definitely worth trying. 92 Chicken ... I ate GOOD ‍

I also got green onions put on top because I love green onions, but if I would've paid attention and know that they were three dollars, I would not have gotten it. lol All in all I would return again to try those soy garlic wings, and tell them to fry them very hard.

He also says it starts at 3:30 and not 3...so he had to go back to check and ask. He also had to "check" if he could "find" happy hour menu; no. So he looked in the register. Nothing; lunch hour prices still populated the system. That said, he asked us three times what we wanted. Drinks? Food? Anything to drink yet? I also asked our dear fella if it's Wing Thursday... uh: "oh, yeah." So the Queen Bee was in the mood for wings. Dry Rub #2, all flats. She said they were "okay." I didn't want any, so I can only hope she did like 'em. They came with the driest and most bland focaccia bread I've had occasion to try in a long time. Simon didn't bother to ask how they were either. I meantime chose to have a 16" half pepperoni (thick-cut) half Paulie's. The latter is meatball, sausage, ricotta and peppers (hot or sweet). They advertise their pies as being well done. Guess what? It wasn't...no char or barely a spot of black on it whatsoever. It was still passable, but for $28 TOTALLY not worth it. It also came out AFTER my dear Queen Bee finished her five little wings. I'll guess the pizza guy was in just as much a hurry as Simon was. We were gonna sit and have a glass of wine (her) and a draft (me). All they had on draught was Bud Light, Sam Adams, Voodoo Ranger and Stella...no thanks! "Uh: you wanna box for the pizza?" So Simon whipped just out the box for the rest of our pizza (4 slices left) and handed me the tablet and just stood there waiting to get it back. Did he ask whether we liked it? Let's just say his level of service was reflected by my level of gratuity. I said to him "I guess you're in a hurry, ain't you, Simon?" It went over his head, as did pretty much everything else in our limited conversations. He asked if we wanted "rewards" for it. No; why would I? Simon totally ruined our time there. Reward enough would be someone teaching that kid how to serve with manners and grace. So THIS experience tells me where NOT to go next time we pass through the neighborhood. Keep your rewards, Anthony. Save 'em for someone ELSE. I'll just take half the underdone pie home and heat it like it should be...or give it to a homeless man on the way home. I've eaten better pizza out of a gas fired oven.
