Thunder Falls Terrace is a hidden gem nestled within Universal Orlando, offering an inviting escape from the park's hustle and bustle. Located at 6000 Universal Blvd, this barbecue restaurant is heralded by diners for its juicy, tender rotisserie chicken and succulent chargrilled ribs, often smothered in their signature mango BBQ sauce. With dishes like the Chicken & Ribs platter and the flavorful Pork Rice Bowl—both highly recommended for their generous portions—guests find great value for park prices. Patrons like Chole Tang applaud the less crowded atmosphere, making it a tranquil spot to enjoy meals while watching the Jurassic Park ride nearby. Many reviews praise the vibrant flavors present in every dish, with one customer noting the exceptional tenderness of the meat. The famous tortilla and roasted tomato soup serves as a delightful starter, complementing the robust offerings perfectly. Thunder Falls Terrace stands out not just for its mouthwatering barbecue but also for its clean, relaxed environment, making it a top choice for a satisfying meal in Orlando. Whether you’re looking to refuel during a long park day or seeking a quality dining experience, this hidden treasure should be on your list. Highly recommended!

Really underrated restaurant tucked at the back of Jurassic. The chicken was so juicy and tender while the corn was so sweet and buttery. Really recommend for others to try as its less crowded compared to other restaurants and the food is superb

An excellent place in the Orlando park to have a real meal. Prices are expected for a meal at an Orlando park. The dishes are very well served, the meats are succulent and the side dishes are tasty too. I highly recommend the visit.

As others have said best food we've had at any themed park. We both selected the pork rice bowl. We arrived shortly after 11am wasn't crowded at all.

It's nice and quiet here! Probably the best food we've had in the park this far (and we have season passes). The food was great! Flavorful. Nachos were great, ribs tender, chicken cooked well. Highly recommend trying!

Came here for lunch, it was raining and watching the rain from the glass walls was beautiful. The food was good, and watching people ride the Jurassic Park Ride next door was interesting. Tables are always available and they have people walking around constantly cleaning.

This was by far our favorite eatery in the entire park. The food here was absolutely amazing and full of flavor. The dishes were all hot when served. The atmosphere was so much fun feeling like you were actually at Jurassic Park. The only gripe was the key lime pie was actually chocolate cheese cake(it wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting). Overall this will be on our list of places to eat at again in the park.

I visited Thunder Falls Terrace for lunch while at Islands of Adventure, and I was really impressed! The food was great, especially the turkey leg. I highly recommend using the Universal app to do mobile ordering - it made things much easier. The roasted potatoes were also very flavorful, but the corn was a bit disappointing. It was only seasoned on one side, so the other side was quite bland. Overall, though, I had a great experience at Thunder Falls Terrace and would definitely recommend it to others.

We ordered online ahead of time on the Universal StudiosApp, arrived to quickly get seated, and we scanned our table to have our food served. Had the Rotisserie Chicken & Char-Grilled Ribs Platter with a side of Cilantro Lime Rice and Black Beans. It was all very tasty with plentiful portions. The staff was great keeping the restaurant clean, all while being attentive to customers
