Since then, it’s estimated that over 20 million people have eaten chicken dinners here but current offerings include farm fresh breakfasts and family-style meals as well as salad and gluten-free options.

Named for the famous “Be Our Guest” scene in Beauty and the Beast, this dining experience at Magic Kingdom Park features three different themed rooms including a magnificent ballroom, the Beast’s West Wing study and the Castle Gallery designed as a replica of Belle’s private library.

Sushi and burgers might seem like an odd combo but it works at The Cowfish (hence its name). The focus is on delivering the best of both worlds though they collide on the signature Burgushi menu, which features sushi rolls with hamburger-style ingredients among other combined delights. Despite the varied menu, ingredients are fresh and never frozen. The drink menus also heave with milkshake and sake options. Photo courtesy of Universal Orlando ResortUniversal Orlando Resort
