We visited on a Thursday in mid-June 2025 for lunch. It was hard to find in the basement. It was pretty packed around 1ish when we arrived. It was 90+F outside. It's a bit over priced but it's museum food, so it's expected but it was more affordable than trying to feed an army of children upstairs at the fancy restaurant. The chairs also did not slide well on the floors. We ordered: - Chicken bowls (pretty good, we went back and ordered 2nd) - Cheese burger (meh, standard but reasonable price) - Chicken tenders (hot but good and kids ate it all, also reasonable price) - Fruit cup $5 not bad. Wanted fruit after all fried foods Overall we'd probably pick this again if we were spending the entire day at the museum. There is a snacky store by the main gift shop at the back of the museum but it's really just snacks.

Decent, although limited, cafeteria with good sales and burgers, spacious seating and a view of a courtyard, with outdoor seating much of the year.

A solid option in lieu of the more crowded and pricier New American Cafe upstairs. At the cafeteria we got in almost right away whereas the wait upstairs was 45 minutes or longer. The food quality was good. The dessert selection is very good. And seating was ample. Also, kudos to a staff that are extremely fast, efficient and polite.
