Do you need reservations for universal studios restaurants

Booking a sit-down dining reservation for Universal Orlando Resort Hotels, CityWalk, or inside the parks can be tricky. Volcano Bay is all quick-service, so no reservations needed there. There is no direct dining reservation phone line because dining at Universal is not all owned/operated by Universal.

Having call or book online all of your own dining at Universal can be a little daunting, that’s why we suggest booking a travel agent. Booking dining reservations is part of their job and their services are 100% complimentary to you. For those of you booking on your own, we have a full breakdown of how and where to call or go online to book your dining reservations.
