Dining at the food court type venues was an issue over Memorial Day weekend. We had better luck with City Walk restaurants (had reservations) and dining at places in the park at Mythos (also with reservations). If you want to be spontaneous, you will stand in line unless you eat at off-peak times. We are going back to Universal in January because the kids like it better than Disney now.
Tip: If you want butterbeer, just use mobile ordering at The Three Broomsticks. When you go inside, just let them know you have a mobile order. It was much faster than standing in the butterbeer lines, and I had a butterbeer every day!
I think the food situation has gotten better. We were there in August, and while it was a long line to order at the Simpsons, it was better than when we went in April. I think those who went in the early summer encountered the perfect storm of capacity being significantly expanded much faster than TMs could be hired and trained. We found the lines were better, but there was no way to skip them because the mobile ordering that was the mainstay of the spring had gone away (it was very limited and only for a few City Walk restaurants). No idea what the future of mobile ordering will be.
