    Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville

    Cajun, Caribbean and great Florida food, which they call Floribbean cuisine in the ultimate tropical setting! Always wanted to eat Key West style? This is the place! They even made the world's largest margarita here...

    Do they do other cocktails there? and why is it called Jimmy's Buffet?

    Never been to City Walk and really want to try it - yet another thing we must do!! but never seem to get round to it.

    Do they do cocktails or do they do cocktails? Just about the best b***** mary in orlando, and margarita's to die for!

    Do try - the nachos - but share them because it needs at least 3 or 4 to eat them as a starter.

    Cheeseburger in paradise - also have to say is the best cheeseburger I have eaten in Florida. It is named after a song Jimmy Buffet wrote about an burger he had eaten in an inn on one of those islands off Captiva - Cabbage Keys I think. We went there last year and had just about the worst food I have ever eaten in Florida, so they must be resting on their laurels somewhat! I have their crabcakes but ask for them with a salad instead of with veggies and potatoes. Chris rates their jambalaya.

    I can't remember his big hit over here, but while you are there they play his music from concerts on video screens - and you will know the tunes!

    If you have an annual pass to universal you get a 10% discount - you also get a discount on production of your AAA card.

    Book or go early as there are nearly always huge queues.

    Thanks for that - it sounds fabulous - never been to City Walk (usually just want my bed after a day at Universal or IOA) but will definitely try - maybe after a leisurely day at the pool. Then again, just want my bed after that too!

    Sounds like this is another must-do for October....just for the Margaritas if nothing else (my favourite cocktail <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>)

    If you have not been to Margaritaville in a while, there is now a sea plane, The Hemisphere Dancer' parked up outside! It is Jimmy's own plane, and if you look vey carefully, just by the cockpit window, you will see the patched up bullet holes, put there by the Jamaican police!! They tried to shoot him down near Negril Beach.! The band U2 were on board at the time, all were going to play some charity gig in Jamaica, nice welcome?[:I]

    It's on the lake, overlooking Hard Rock. You cant miss it, there is a HUGE parrot on the front of the building and a very large sea plane, I think it is a Gruman Goose, but not too sure.
    About two doors round from Motown.
