Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville

Escape to Margaritaville, right in the center of Universal Orlando CityWalk. From a volcano flowing with margaritas to suspended airplanes, Margaritaville is more than a restaurant; it's a state of mind...

Decor was great, kids table toy was unusual (WikkiStix), deserts for sharing on the table were huge and tasty, bluemoon beer on tap , great cocktail choice.

Jen martinez

They have a booze in the ble der ehich is cool because you can keep the cup and a margarita flight its a sample of there bests my fav is last mango in paris

Jonathan Daly

Wait times are a lot less on the deck and atmosphere is just as good. Also good for a bit of IOA people watching !

Laur Lo Ski

Never had a bad experience here, although I've only been twice. Food + Drinks are awesome, love seeing the volcano blow every hour, ballooners, customer service is great & thumbs up to the gift shop !

Hyatt Mamoun

Margaritas are stellar, atmosphere is perfect. The best thing to get is definitely the coconut shrimp - salty with a hint of sweet! However, sadly, the burgers are sad and aren’t worth the price.

Sean Miller

Food and service were great! Ordered the cheddar BBQ cheeseburger and it was delish! Meat was cooked just perfect and came topped with a really good aioli sauce .

Super Dad

Grilled/Blackened Grouper is so tasty!!! If you’re looking for a healthier option then ask for a lettuce wrap instead of a bun . Enjoy!!!

Gabe Diaz

There are two entrances here and both will take your name for sitting. If you want to be outside with the live music go to the host stand by the outside seating area etc. for quicker seating.

Dave Richard

I came here for my 21st birthday years ago. Coconut shrimp was great, margaritas were awesome, and the staff was really friendly . A fun place to go on city walk.

Derek SebastianWoods

I ❤ Straight drunk guys buying me drinks, asking me to take them home #HomoHeaven Budlight , Conch Fritters and tons of straight boy eye candy . Follow me on Twitter @SebastianWoods Facebook.com/DWOrl2

How can you go wrong if you are a parrothead! Great food and awesome drinks. Sit inside for dancers and the volcano ! Make reservations !

Frank Locke

Volcano nachos are enough for the whole family. The girls on stilts making ball on animals for the kids are a nice touch. All the frozen drinks are mixes, so don't get too excited.

Steve Dickerson

Not only does Jimmy make 1 of the best cheeseburgers (I suggest the immortal Cheeseburger in Paradise)but he's also not afraid to serve it rare - the way a good beef burger was meant to be had!

Renee Dunn Ruiz

2:00 p.m starts Happy Hour outside. Of course we missed it as we were hungry for lunch . Makes us want to go to a Jimmy Buffet concert . We are officially old farts!!!!

Jenny Wood

Get mahi grilled or blackned and get even with Pepsi . For them selling out of Pepsi perfect. Order a coke a cola enjoy. Where were going we don't need road . :)

Tom J

The volcano burger sounds scary but it is amazingly good. Not as over the top as it sounds.

Zack Sheppard

The drinks are great! And they’ll make pretty much any frozen cocktail virgin! The food... is less amazing...

Donna Neck

If you want to sit on the patio and there is a wait, try the seating along the rail. Great view of the park and the service was great!

Cindy Eidson Chamberlain

Margaritas were amazing!! Nachos are a lot!! They were just OK. Jalapeños were great. BBQ burger just ok. Sweet potato fries were soggy. Better to sit outside and have a drink and appetizer instead

Pigeon & co. chap

everything is so good...the atmosphere is wonderful...Nick and Nadia and very nice and helpful...I love this place

Brad Lovell

Be careful if the volcano nachos , good tasting and very filling as a meal by itself (4 adults in my group had trouble finishing it). Definitely a full meal for a family of 4-7.

Betty Jean Privigyi

Margarita Flight is a terrific starter and a great gage on their mixology skills

Zulkeira R. Stefchak

Strawberry Margarita on the rocks was good and strong! Can't go wrong with their burgers . Definitely overpriced (tourist prices) but that's what you get for eating at Citywalk.

Ben Adams

Get the Booz in a Blender!! There are multiple choices of drinks you can put in it and they are all delicious!

Amy R.

Good place for a break even with kids. Music is great and does not overpower the place. You can actually have a conversation with your table without yelling. Would recommend to everyone.

Ernest Sharp

All of the food is good. The nachos are great, but it is a lot of food. The jerked salmon is spectacular. The specialty drinks are great.

Soraiya Vasanji

Amazing margaritas ! Of course... Get Living It Up if you want a strong one on the rocks! Or the frozen mango margarita !! Yum yum yum!

Ellen DeGeneres

Let me keep you from making the same mistake I made -- this is not an actual town . It’s a restaurant . I wish someone had told me that before I started forwarding my mail.

Davis Benson

Screw what everyone else says. Tony (Anthony) at the walk up bar is the best bartender ever. Hands down. We would walk out of the restaurant to bring the drinks back from the walk up bar . Seriously.

Jason Coley

Caleb from columbus, Ohio works here as a waiter and is absolutely the best waiter we have had in the area in the last two days!!!!!!

Mike D

How a guy can turn one song into an empire with 1,000s of loyal followers is beyond me - having said that - good for him! 😏

Gabe Diaz

Volcano Nachos are huge! If you like nacho cheese , it's on the bottom on the nacho pile.

Renee Yoder-Downton

Order the Cheeseburger in Paradise with an order of jerk sauce on the side. Put it in your burger and dip your fries in it. You won't regret it. Spicy and awesome!

Alex Schrameyer

Try the margarita flight if you can't decide what you want. The live music every night sets the mood

Lucy Perry

The food isn’t great but we love this place because it is so fun and the margaritas are perfect!

Gene M

A must stop for Parrotheads. For all others a good tropical party vibe. Service and food were good. Fried pickles were a standout. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Donyiel Davis

The food was awesome and chips/salsa was very good!

La B.

Sit outside on the patio when there is music playing. It is very nice.

Eva 🐾 Banova

A little bit disappointed. Was told we were gonna get a birthday pin by the hostess and it never happened. Don't promise if you can't deliver ! Food was great.

Robert Wlodarczyk

If you come on Sunday before noon, don't expect to get a drink until noon. County law prohibits them from serving alcohol on Sundays before noon. Booo!

Ashley Ann McDowell

Walk up Margarita bar is awesome and strong and you can walk it on city walk.

Mark Wilkinson

You way think the grilled chicken breast is a good, healthy option . It would be, maybe, but it’s TERRIBLE.

Katina Garrard

Perfect margarita and iced tea margarita are amazing! Seafood Mac n cheese is incredible.

Chowder soup SO tasty... You won't regret getting it!

Lori Lopez

The quesadilla is really good!!!! You can have it as an entree if you have the dining plan

Lindsey June

If you don't get a fins to the left or a who's to blame in a blender with your volcano nachos , you're missin out.

💀Kara S.👊

5 o'clock somewhere margarita is a must. Although, it's more like a hurricane.

Shannon Tillis

Go to the airplane bar across the restaurant . The lady bartenders name is heidi! She's amazing! She was extra generous with the tequila !

Robert Beckerman

Have a drink at the outside bar and ask for roger. Great bartender !
