We had a great dinner at Margaritaville the other night. The main dining room was closed for a private party which was disappointing, but eating out on the porch was not. John Frinzi played an acoustic set or two while we ate. The food was very good and our server was friendly and helpful.

Our second visit here and the food still is still very good along with the service. Everyone in the place (including us) orders the volcano nachos. It's $16 but there is a reason: it takes about 4 people to eat it and that's if it's just your appetizer. The drinks are very good as well. On this visit, we actually... More

Came here for dinner last night after a long day of walking at Universal and the nachos hit the spot. The volcano is very cool and the staff is friendly.

The Margaritaville folks met us in the parking lot and walked us to the restaurant. As we went upstairs, we were welcomed with margaritas, beers, and silk leis. A fabulous assortment of appetizers was ready and... More

I'm a Buffett fan so I took the kids for a snack and some drinks. We have been to them before and they are all the same. Food is ok and not too expensive. If you like the atmosphere then check it out
