I honestly do not know how there are bad reviews for Bayliner Diner with all the options they have and the pricing isn’t bad at all for theme park/hotel food and very reasonable. The ultimate grilled cheese with tomato and bacon is honestly one of the best grilled cheeses I’ve ever had! It was absolutely delicious. I also had breakfast this morning with the bacon, egg, and cheese croissants. Even though the croissant was overcooked it was still delicious and the flavor was good. Free water refill station at the Coca Cola refill. The food is made fresh and there are so many options.

This is a quick service, multiple type food area.
None of the food was good, from the pizza to the burgers.
This is a great example when a company can care less what they serve to the guests. They should be ashamed selling this as food, and then the prices. Wow.
We wouldn’t have minded the price if the food was good. We threw most of it away.
If you stay at cabana bay, don’t eat there.

Had 3 meals here. (2× Breakfast and a dinner). Prices are higher than expected (more expensive than comparable disney world quick service dining). Food quailty was a expected or slightly higher.
Service was awful. The ordering area is small and not well organized. The staff is uninterested in their job (at best) and in many cases had an awful attitude. This was a significant difference from the hotel front desk which had excellent and friendly service.
Wait times for food ranged from acceptable to outrageous. I have dietary restrictions and had to place a special order for each meal. I waited 12 minutes for a waffle one day and then 25 minutes the next day. I had to wait 56 minutes for my dinner order and had to return to the order counter 3 times because the order was not being processed by the kitchen.
The dining room was not cleaned/bussed consistently. One of the ice tea dispensers had a growth hanging down out of the spout. A few freestyle machines were missing most of the flavors for an entire day.

The Bayliner Diner inside Universal’s Cabana Bay Resort is great. If you are staying at the resort or just stopping by for dinner, you have a lot of food options and the prices are all under $20 a person. You can choose from burgers, chicken tenders, sandwhiches, pasta dishes, mojo chicken, and even roasted beef strip loin. Every member of the family can eat whatever they are craving. The large TVs that play old 60s commercials in the dinning area are a really neat feature.

My family and I stayed here for a week during Spring Break for a sporting event that was happening nearby. We ate at Bayliner almost every night of our stay and we were never disappointed with our food.
Most of it is pretty basic, but done well. My kids and I were HUGE fans of the grilled cheese and the house made chips. I also got a salad from the expansive salad bar many nights.
It was extremely busy, but that is to be expected during spring break time at a theme park resort! We just tried to avoid main eating times and it was okay.
There is plenty of seating and drink machines for use, and so many different stations with a variety of foods. The perfect value resort food court in my opinion!

I had bad experience at Bayliner Diner. The staff name Berney, provided terrible service, was racist, and had a bad attitude. She didn’t want to serve us because we were Asian. She tried to skip us and serve other customers instead.

We were extremely disappointed by the service at the Italian food area at Bayliner. There was an young attendend with long slick black hair and long eye lashes that was extremely rude to my young daughter. My daughter was being super nice and asking questions about where to find condiments and this young lady was rolling her eyes and acting very condescending. I asked for a manager but none could be found. I hope this is addressed so other customers can be treated with more respect and kindness.

We stayed at Cabana Bay during this trip to Universal. The Hotel is great. This review is specifically for breakfast. For a family of 4 it was $74. The bacon was inedible. My son, who loves pancakes, couldn’t even finish one. They were…bad. I don’t know how you even do that. We paid to take an uber to get breakfast somewhere else another day.
If you’re desperate, they have food. It isn’t good.

Okay, has the fish not been fishy and the soda machines worked this would’ve gotten more stars. We really liked that there were choices other than burgers and pizza. The Ahi Tuna was fishy but a nice sized portion. The General Tso’s wasn’t spicy at all. However, the vegan chicken General Tso’s was surprisingly like tender chicken. The tables and chairs had food remnants all over them and it didn’t appear as though there was anyone on any sort of cleaning rounds. Overall, it was an okay option after a day in the parks but we wouldn’t go out of our way for this place again.

It was okay.
The only thing we are here for was their breakfast. We ordered two kids meals but they forgot the strawberries and cream in the waffles the regular kids meal with the eggs, sausage, and biscuit was ok but bland. We also ordered a side of biscuit with sausage gravy which was also very bland. Their biscuits are very dense, gravy needs seasoning, and their eggs need salt.
The area does look well organized and has always looked clean as far as I can tell.
I would recommend that if you’re buying a breakfast sandwich to get it from the malt shop. Their breakfast sandwiches are cheaper and bigger.
