Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[tyro]

That’s my point.

Spit Fyre is more than the most expensive quick service I go to at WDW, so it had better be worth it.

13.49 vs 16.99 for a chicken bowl. And people complain Disney World dining is too expensive.

How else can Universal afford all the ancient grains?

And the Satuli chicken bowl doesn’t come with ancient grains.

I noticed the bowl I want at Spit Fyre Grill is more expensive than the highest priced bowl at Satuli Canteen, and it gave me pause. I consider Satuli a high quality quick service, with good serving sizes, but even their food doesn’t reach $20 a bowl.

So, it better be good

Still better than Cedar Flags pricing...

I'll admit that I'm not getting sticker shock from these prices since they're fairly consistent with what you'd pay for your average quick service meal in a SoCal park... but I'm also not surprised a bulk of these dishes are priced higher than burgers, personal pizzas, or chicken tenders. They're more complex dishes with a larger number of ingredients. If the quality is poor, I'm all for harping on the prices, but I've seen nothing to indicate the culinary teams won't deliver here.

Yes I’m okay paying for them, because they seem like good food. Just surprised by some prices is all.

Hard to tell, but looks like the Spit Fyre bowls are pictured in a boat-shaped bowl in the photos??

SoCal food prices are insane compared to other parts of the country, most places I ate when there a couple of summers ago were close to double what you’d find for the same thing in Kansas. I can see why you wouldn’t get sticker shock from the prices being from there, For a lot of people though they are much higher than what they are used to seeing, and in comparison are higher overall than what I saw in wdw and even universals other two parks last year.

I do think pointing out the high level of theming of the food can count for the price difference, and I’ll have to keep reminding myself of that when there to counteract the initial, yikes this is really steep reaction.

Me reading all of this talk about QSR pricing when I have no idea how much a theme park hamburger costs these days because I always order a kids meal for my grown self
