Food |
Standard amusement-park fare is available all over the park, punctuated with a couple of fast-food chains: Subway, Panda Express, Pinks, Chickie and Pete's and Johnny Rockets. Midway Market offers all-you-can-eat buffets. Pinks has gourmet hot dogs and Melt provides higher end grilled cheese. Many people like to leave the park and walk to Famous Dave's BBQ in the Marina or head to the Breakers for Perkins or TGIFriday's. For the more sophisticated palate, finer dining with no dress code is available in the Marina at Bay Harbor. |
