Decent for a museum cafe! Great value, large servings, and more options than "burgers and hot dogs" though they have those too. We liked the pulled pork salad special and the chicken tenders were great! For Thursday lunch, there were a large number of large groups visiting the museum, so it took longer to get food, so you'll need to plan accordingly. It's helpful that they give you pagers so you can wander instead of staying in the cafe area when it is crowded.

1st time went there it was fine as the burger and coffee tasted okay. The 2nd, the Cheese Steak sandwich and coffee tasted pretty bad. Both times it was pretty hot inside.

A bit disappointing. A soggy Thai panini - no griddle marks or crunchiness of the bread. $40 for so-so entries and drinks. Used to be way better. Plan ahead with other choices beforehand. Used to be decent but now just not worth it at all.

Nasty blueberry mint tea
Fea comida
My son ordered chicken nuggets with fries off the kids menu. Within two hours he said his tummy had discomfort. I assumed he had to visit the restroom kind of discomfort. An hour later on the freeway heading home in the rain he vomits all over the back seat. Shredded chicken everywhere!!!
Long wait. Most importantly, the food is straight out bad. We ordered a few different things and all of them taste terrible.
