This region of the park is also where travelers can snag one of Lard Lad Donuts’ coveted giant pink-iced donuts, a larger-than-life confection that measures eight inches in diameter and weighs 14 ounces. Talk about a sugar rush. Travelers can wash it all down with a tasty brew from Duff Brewery Beer Garden, an open-air bar that makes for the perfect place for sipping suds.   

Jurassic Café

For a taste of the Caribbean without ever leaving the USA, travelers can head to Universal Studios Hollywood’s Jurassic Café, a Costa Rican-inspired joint located in the park’s lower lot. With flavorful offerings like Slow Roasted Mojo Pork with mojo jackfruit, Citrus Glazed Chicken and Roasted Mahi Mahi, the restaurant’s main courses are as vibrant as they are delicious.

In the mood for something light? Visitors can enjoy smaller dishes too including mouth-watering Chorizo and Potato Empanadas, Tropical Fruit Salad, Pomegranate Guacamole with plantain chips and more. And while they’re at it, park-goers ages 21+ might consider swinging by Isla Nu-Bar, Jurassic Café’s tiki cocktail-slinging neighbor that always gets the party started.

Minion Cafe

Food so good it’s despicable, fans of Universal Studios Hollywood can’t get enough of the excellent eats at Minion Cafe. Perfect for parents and kiddos alike, this Minion-themed eatery is located within Super Silly Fun Land with some of its offerings — like Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese with Banana BBQ Sauce — being equally, albeit much tastier, as goofy. In fact, as the minions’ favorite snack, guests can expect to see several banana-themed dishes on the Minion Cafe menu including Nutella® Banana Pudding and banana frozen yogurt.
