Minion Café Universal City Reviews
Dave's brisket melt was a 10/10! The bbq sauce that came with it was sweet and tasty. However, I really enjoyed the minion potato tots. They were super cheesy and hot. Freshly made and ready to serve. I also ordered the felonious float. It's a cute drink topped with banana candy, banana yogurt and whip cream. It tasted just like bananas. I wouldn't mind eating here again.
Hilarious nuggets that are shaped as minions!!! I really enjoyed the concept even though the chicken tenders are super dry. The cashier was very friendly too
Wow!!! Blown away by the amazing taste of the food! Especially for a theme park!!! The Dave’s Brisket Sandwich had such tender and juicy meat, it’s the best brisket sandwich we have ever had!!! Not to mention it was cutely decorated with a minion face and the fries were minion shaped and delicious! They served minion themed food that was both good looking and look tasting! The felonious float was also fabulous. The banana yogurt soft serve was so tasty that I wish you could buy it in cone form. It went very well with the blue raspberry slush and whipped cream while the crunchy banana candy on top was great for texture! It’s a perfect drink and dessert with perfect theming! So good!!! 💎 GEM restaurant! The only downside is that there is no indoor seating so you must sit outside and depending on the weather this could be good or bad.
We went the first week it opened as there was no wait time which was great. We got to sit near the center of the restaurant and we were able to sit close to the giant minion statue in the middle. Ordering was very easy and food came out in 10 minutes, so fast! Our food was absolutely delicious and comparing to other eateries in the park in definitely ranks in top 5. We had the Ramen noodle dish and the folded meatball pizza. Everything was cooked perfectly and the waitress even dumps the "brains" or noodles of a minion on to your plate for a funny moment. My favorite was the meatballs and dough of the pizza was so good. Price compared to other eateries was cheaper in my opinion. I definitely can't wait to come back and try their BBQ dish as I heard it was great also. Try this place out when at Universal Studios!!

Food was good, my partner and i shared the chicken nachos which is probably some of the best for the money at universal. People serving were nice and if you can get a seat outside you're lucky.
Food, service, atmosphere were all fantastic. I ordered from the mobile app, but the screen disappeared when I locked/unlocked the phone (its the first time ordering from the app and the email didnt help at all). The cash register asked the cook who knew how to find it and started making the food right away. The food was so good!! I'm surprised because usually foods in theme parks are bland. The crew outside were also very nice. I'd definetely return here again.

We stopped by for an afternoon snack around 2:30pm and got a table outside although the cafe was quite busy. - El Macho's Nachos: the nachos were good and crispy. The guacamole was generous portion and was tasty. - Chicken tenders: the coating was crispy and the meat was tender and well seasoned. Our favorite was the delicious ketchup! It tasted like homemade and we licked it all up!
Only flaw to this cafe is the fact that there is hardly any tables to sit. Considering how popular it is they should definitely add some tables they can fit in atleast 3 more. Food: El Machos nachos were quite tasty definitely a 8.5/10 Freedonia festival of Mac & cheese was 5/10 if you’re looking for a yummy creamy Mac and cheese this is definitely not worth it! If you like it dry and prefer to taste the noodle itself then go ahead. The chicken and bacon topping is good but the star of the show (the Mac and cheese) was not at all the best. Chicken tenders: yummy you can’t go wrong with tenders they were just a little cold but it’s okay. The taters were AMAZINGGG so potatoeyyy
Probably the only decent theme park food I’ve ever had. Grilled cheese is freshly made, took a while to make and quite a wait. Lovely and friendly staff!
Decent park food. The pulled pork sandwich was quite delicious but the fries are quite plain. The sauce that goes with them though is great and helps balance the taste. The service was slow and it wasn’t busy.
Great ramen and the felonious float was great! The dessert at this place looked great! I would say this place has something for everyone. One star less because I thought the ramen was salty, service was not that fast and seating was limited.

For park food it was decent. We got the pork grilled cheese, chicken bacon ranch Mac and cheese, unicorn cupcake, and the nachos. Everything was warm. The bread was hard, but edible. It had good flavor. Mac and cheese was actually pretty good and not dry would probably get this again. Nachos were well seasoned, just not a lot of topping. Unicorn cupcake was very good. Kind of confused at first how the lines worked and no one there was helpful and I was literally the only person in there and no one said a word. When I asked what to do the girl just pointed. 1 star for service 3 for food.
We ordered a grilled cheese with tomato soup and a banana pudding. Everything was so mid the fries were dry and the tomato soup was bad and small portioned. The banana pudding was almost inedible because of the artificial banana flavoring… grilled cheese was lowkey buss tho
I wasn't impressed by this stop. For the price, the food is portioned small. Staff seemed nice, but it was very slow. There isn't really a good reason for me to wait nearly 5 minutes for fountain drinks when staff 20 feet away are standing around.
The food at Universal is $4-6 more than Disney for less quality. The pork sandwich was pretty stellar over all. However t he bacon/jalapeño Mac and cheese was was very dry. I’d probably pack a a lunch for this park.
The food was good but pricey. The Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac n Cheese good but it could use a little more chicken. If you don't like ranch don't worry, you can barely taste it.

Not the best food. Over priced for the amount of food and quality you get. Only reason they get 2 stats is b/c with till was little to none. Not so loaded nachos. If they think guacamole makes it loaded they need to rethink there menu.

Food was extremely flavorless and dry. We couldn’t bring ourselves to finish the entrees (brisket sandwich and mac & cheese). The desserts were fine but nothing to write home about. Overall, none of this was worth the price. Seating is outside and very limited. You have to keep an eye out for families leaving in order to snag a table.

Worst food and bad service ever. I ordered El Macho Nachos, chicken tenders, and Stuart’s chicken roast. The worker, a young Mexican boy, gave me my food first even though another man was ahead of me. I noticed that my portions were significantly smaller than his. That’s likely why he wanted me to get the nachos first, so I wouldn’t notice right away. My nachos were completely flat, while the other customer’s were nicely layered and full. I believe this was racial discrimination. You can even look online to see how the food is supposed to look. After I told the man ahead of me that it was his since he had ordered first, he purposely said, “No, that’s yours.” I paid over $50 for food and service that was completely disappointing. It was my first time trying the Minion Cafe, and it will be my last because of this one employee.

Rushed the absolute hell out of my pulled pork sandwich to the point that it did not taste cooked all the way through. Couldn't finish it and then ended up with food poisoning for a few days. No thanks.
We didn't even get our food. The order was completely wrong. Our family was rushed by an extremely rude server. When we told them our order was, they got mad at me for questioning where the correct food was and told us we had it. We in fact, did not. We had good intentions of ordering and leaving, but their service made it hard. If we had a chance to try the food, maybe the stars would go up.

Went on 4/3/25 and got the classic grilled cheese like I usually do and could not believe they were only serving them with cheddar. It’s supposed to come with white cheese as well I’ve had it many times before and to still charge 16.99 for 1 cheese is ridiculous. The cheddar cheese used tasted like Kraft cheese slices too. I could have made a better grilled cheese at home honestly. Won’t be eating at minion cafe anymore.
