The Bayliner Diner includes several food stations with a wide selection. They offer deli items, pizzas, burgers, salads, desserts, and more. There is a large open seating area to relax.

This is your go-to dining location at Cabana Bay, a food court-like setup with pay stations at the exit. Lunch/dinner selections are generally larger and more recommendable than breakfast, though breakfast isnt bad. Desserts and bakery choices are a bit weak.The large seating area is flanked by drink refill stations (the refillable cups can actually be a pretty good value) with over-roasted coffee, hot cocoa, hot water, soda/soft beverage fountains, and Coke Freestyle machines (yes, both -- so you can get soda without the weird taste that Freestyle machines impart to every drink). Microwaves and condiments are also provided.The theming is charming and retro. Large screens play a loop of old clips from television, movies, and advertisements a la Sci-Fi Dine-In at Disneys Hollywood Studios, but the audio is not played. A loop of classic songs is played instead.

Love it! Everything we’ve tried here has been delicious. We love the spaghetti with meatballs, cherry Charlotte dessert, the Brazilian beef churrasco and the Turkey provolone sandwich! So good

This is the main diner on the resort. There is a good variety of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its a little pricey but similar to what you see at other resorts. The breakfast was very good with good sized portions. Definitely get the refillable souvenir cup. It is worth the price since you can use it for soft drinks, coffee or an Icee.

Very clean and fairly fast for what it is. Breakfast time has the best foods. Stay away from the sausage it’s Bad.

Probably best bang for your buck at Universal resorts. My advice, buy souvenir cup here and have programmed for your total length of stay (different prices based on number of days). We were able to take in too all Universal parks. Most freestyle machines only gave water and ice but at least 1 by one of dockside restaurants between Harry Potter train entrance and Transformers ride would allow a few actual sodas.

Spend a good amount of time here due to the vast array of meals. Having kids its always tricky but the diner has it all. Also the fact that Starbucks in conveniently next door. Truly a delight and enjoy meals from here.

I’m a little disappointed here. We waiting over an hour in line to get a mediocre burger and fries, then by the time we made it through the second line to pay, our fries were cold.The service was also not great. We bought a bottle of wine, then realized it was corked. We had to go back up to the cashier who handed us a corkscrew, without any explanation or apology, who then turned to continue checking people out. Did they forget to give it to us? Was it ours to keep? Were we supposed to bring our own? I still don’t know. I felt bad complaining because the staff seemed so overworked and understaffed.The do offer a diverse selection of food and have great hours. However, after our first experience, we avoided this place the rest of our visit.

Great food and staff!

Excellent variety of choices. Cabana Bay Burger is always delicious

I LOVE the food here as I love the resort itself.Just came from here for a long bday weekend and I finally got to enjoy the food here, and it was not disappointing at all.Hub and I both had the Citrus 1/2 Chicken with Jasmine Rice and Curry cauliflower, it was AMAZING. Chicken was So tasty, so juicy and the cauliflower was this really simple great tasting curry flavor and color.Jasmine rice was perfectly cooked and very flavorful!Highly recommend dishes for sure!Kids had the pizza and it was also good, sauce was sweet and cheese was tasty. Could have used a bit more pepperoni though ;)They also offer burgers, sandwiches, and lots of to-go items you can just grab and head to pool or just chill in your room!They offer to-go boxes for your items as well in case you want to take them anywhere else.Can’t wait to return here again!

Bayliner diner has a very cool looking 1960s era vibe and is conveniently located in the Cabana resort next to Volcano Bay. Those 2 attributes are about where the accolades begin and end. This is a cafeteria style place with several different food options. There is usually a line to order your food and then another line to check out. The food is generally pretty lousy and the prices are extreme, as one would expect at an amusement park. Id recommend eating at any nearby restaurant, of which there are many. But for pure convenience, you may want to choke it down, but bring your wallet!

Very cozy and spacious atmosphere. great food, i recommend the buttermilk pancakes or ham and cheese croissant for breakfast and margherita pizza for lunch. never had dinner from here. the TVs are always playing vintage commercials and they are very comforting to watch. 100% recommend

Food was very expensive and not great youre better off going to a fast food restaurant like McDonalds or getting Uber Eats.

I Love going to the Bayliner .. the setting is nice... the casual feeling being able to just relax and it doesnt matter if your a couple or you have kids youll easily find a spot to chill .. and of course the food is always great.. its simple its good 👍

DELICIOUS reasonably priced food, absolute chaos when its busy, which is almost always.

Huge diner with great nostalgic ambiance. Good food at fairly reasonable prices considering the Orlando location.

Over priced by miles. Food quality is subpar for a resort and $100 for 2 adults and 3 kids is ludicrous. Only upside was that the staff was friendly and it is located in the hotel.

Dinner at Bayliner diner is underrated. Okay, particularly, the churrasco and [gram marsala?] flavored cauliflower. I watch the tourists come in and order meh pizza, not knowing that great hispanic steak is available to them. Get the churrasco!Also, Ive had breakfast here and its just okay.

Started out checking out CityWalk and came back to the resort to eat at the Bayliner at Cabana Bay Beach Resort. I have to say, I was not impressed with the spaghetti and meatballs which rather tasted like something out of a can, but that being said, the cheeseburger was tasty and juicy, the fries absolutely divine and gloriously covered in salt, and the Brazilian Beef Churrasco and absolutely amazing dish for the whopping price being under $15. The steak was fairly tender, with lots of flavor, the beans also rich with a smoky flavor, and the curry roasted cauliflower was a nice replacement for the carb rich potatoes I am trying to avoid (yes, I know I tried the fries because I couldnt help but snag a few of those little beauties).#UOTravelAdvisor #universalstudios #universal #universalstudiosorlando #cabanabaybeachresort #baylinerdiner #academytravel

Awesome place!! The management team is amazing making sure the rules are followed!! The fries omg the fries... Thats all I want in life 🤣😂

Surpasses cafeteria-style expectations with flying colors. The ahi tuna, steak, pizza, etc....my family is very picky and eaten in many high-quality restaurants, and the food here is outstanding! Everyone can find something to eat regardless of like or dietary rest.

Bayline is a cute diner hall that goes back to the 50s/60s. It has various options and plenty of space for you to dine safely.

Has some Gluten free options.

Came in on a Thurs. Service is consistently above par. Feeling here is like a restaurant in Fort Worth I liked.

Huge! ...with a decent menu

Great omelette. Grits were too hunny for my taste. Omelette, apple slices, grits and water cost $15. Not bad for theme park food. Get there early, before 8 a.m., otherwise youll face a line to enter.

We took 90 minutes, in last 15 minute our lane was broken and they said wait, but in half an hour anything changed, we just left this place.It means we paid $80 for 75 min. + $6 for parking each car. If you think it’s okay pay about 70$ per hour, you can play here.

Love dining here everytime were at the Resort

I read on a review that someone compared this food to more expensive cafeteria food and theyre right.The pepperoni pizza ($12.35), bread sticks ($2.99), a total price of $16.34. For $12.35, I had a decently good pizza, although for that price I would rather eat at Blaze Pizza. For $2.99, I got 2 cold breadsticks that didnt even taste good, it almost had no texture to them.Can I also inform you that if you want a soda from the refrigerator it costs $4.99... Who charges this much for a soda... Really?Youre better offer ordering something through Grubhub or Uber Eats. Youll spend less per person than eating here. Youll probably even have enough money to go bowling inside of the hotel after you eat.

Serves breakfast, lunch, dinner. Reasonably priced and has offers a wide variety to choose from.

It’s bad. Bland, overpriced, chewy offerings that are not high quality. Basically very expensive cafeteria food. As some of the other reviews have stated, you’d be much better off with Uber Eats/Grubhub. I won’t be back.

Our meal costs $39.85 for two people. My husband had a basic salad and cold spaghetti and meatballs. I took a bite out of my fish and promptly threw the remainder away. The Bayliner Diner is one of the on-site locations to eat at Cabana Bay. Terrible value. If you must eat on-site at Cabana Bay, select any location other than the Bayliner Diner.

My family and I always stay at the Cabana Bay Beach Resort when we come to Universal. The Bayliner Diner has a great variety of food from breakfast to lunch, to dinner....they have something for everyone!! We love eating here.

It works like a cafeteria: you get your food and than you go to the cash register to pay. I think the food was really good, although a bit expensive. Employees were nice too. There are a lot of options, but mostly a lot of fast food. Still, if you dont like the food served at the counters, there are other options in the refrigerators, like sushis, more salads, sandwiches, etc. There are also desserts, cereals, a lot of snacks, drinks and sandwiches that you can bring with you in the parks. They sell a refillable water bottle for the drink fountain, but it is a bit expensive in my opinion. Plus, there was a fruit/yogourt bar in the morning and a salad bar for the rest of the day, for healthier options. The frozen yogourt bar was also pretty cool. Overall I really enjoyed the food. The only other negative thing that I would point out is that the food was sometimes not warm enough : maybe it was when they put in into your plate, but before you pay and get to a table, it had sometimes cooled down quite a bit.

Deli is great. Burgers are great. Chicken strips are great. Pizza is way way better from Pizza Hut nearby.

Nice place

Great selection of food. Okay prices. Love the ambiance.

Food needs improvement. I come all the time and it is disappointing each time. The first year it was great and gotten worse. I still eat there but this time I ended up eating by the pool it was better

It was great. Cafeteria type restaurant with a variety of good basic foods.

Good breakfast

Great choice of different dishes! We enjoy eating there for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Great quality and amazing taste! Also offer very healthy choices:)

Resort dining facility. Overall, high price and low quality. For only a couple more dollars you could go to Toothsomes Chocolate Emporium for a meal with great taste and presentation amys the atmosphere is amazing. Bayliner needs to step up their game or lower the prices

This is the main dining area within the Cabana Bay Resort. It’s not great value for money, and there’s no alternative so they can charge what they like. The food itself is more than acceptable. It essentially 4 mini themed fast food outlets with a combined central checkout area. Very long queues at peak times. Recommend eating during quieter times to avoid long waits for the food and the checkout. Also has fridges and shelves with a good selection of snacks.

The food wasnt very good for the price. Also the service is horrible, espacially at the pizza station. There is no system and because of that I had to wait for really long time for no reason.

Extremely rude staff and mediocre salty food. Apparently you can’t ask the servers any questions because they direct you back to the menu with an attitude. Really horrible experience. Rather leave the hotel than eat there and have to deal with those salty people.

Meh. For the price, I would have expected it to be better. Lo Mein was undercooked and it took forever. Mash potatoes tasted like they were fake. They shut down half the dinning area and cramed everyone into the same area. The theme of the dinning area is the same of the hotel and that is cool in itself.

Great variety, on the expensive side, but on part for Resort costs

Good

Charged my credit card twice and said the card was declined which is impossible due to my available credit limit. I ended up paying cash so moral of story I paid 3 times for the same food. Lo mein was undercooked and tasted like glue. Cabana Bay needs to revamp their “food court”.

Wide variety of food, when we stay at Cabana Bay its a must to eat at Bayliner Diner.

Cafeteria. Great for kids, disappointing for adults

Good food

Nothing very normal the next world

The menu is varied and you can eat very rich
