Everyone was doing their best, but it just took way too long to place orders. It is much easier to deal with hungry and tired toddlers at tables than waiting in lines, so they need to do a better job of getting people through quickly. One register for a busy Sunday is not enough. Food was fine and prepared fast once we finally got through the line. Online ordering was closed, so the line was the only option.

The food is actually really good and not crazy overpriced. Everything always tastes fresh. An average lunch is $10-$15 and the outdoor seating is really nice. It’s right in the middle of the outdoor exhibits, so itan easy place to stop when you are at the museum for the day.

Vegetarians have a good black bean burger and the kids meal is sufficient. Cookie is too sweet and has some unhealthy ingredients but other than that rest of the food is good

Food was actually affordable and tasted great! Definitely saves us trying to plan or pack for lunch when you can just eat here.

The restaurant is in the Museum of Life and Science. Typical quick and easy food. Good food for a long and busy day at the museum. Order early and skip the line.

Only had the locally made popsicle. Strawberry-lemonade. Definitely made with real ingredients. A bit pricey for $6 but not unexpected

I don’t expect much from a cafe inside of a museum but what I witnessed today was to many unsanitary practices. The major one being that one of the employees on the line threw away something in the trash, pushed the trash down, and used those same gloves to put together someone’s sandwich. After we saw this we asked the cashier if she could change her gloves to a different pair. This employee refused to do so and continued to make food. Another employee removed her mask, wiped her nose, and then continued to put sandwiches together WITHOUT washing her hands. I would recommend packing lots of snacks, I wouldn’t eat here at all. They should be ashamed.

Literally only got a side and a drink. But we got the fired okra, and it was absolutely delicious. Super friendly staff.

Food was mediocre. Did a mobile order instead of ordering at the counter because it’s hard for my mom to stand up for long periods but it took a long time and I never even got a notification that the food was ready. They also forgot our drinks.
