Food@Science — Restaurant in Miami

Food@Science is located inside the Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science on the ground level. Because we wanted to make the most of our time at the museum, we decided to eat lunch here instead of finding someplace near our hotel. Aside from the high airport-like prices, it was pretty good!

ATMOSPHERE: Place your order at the counter as you enter and the food is delivered to your table. The inside was clean and bright with lots of seats. Outdoor seating is available too, most with covered protection.

MENU: Salads, grain bowls, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, pizza, chicken, coffee beverages, sundae.

FOOD: Tuna Salad Melt I couldn't believe how tasty this was. Was it from the tomato's sweetness? Was it from the cheese and tuna combo? All three? I loved every bit of it, along with the sub sandwich-like bread that was crunchy and moist. A generous helping of chips dusted in I believe ranch powder came with the sandwich. Pricey but totally worth it, plus it was a big portion. Highly recommended!

Tater Tots Had I known my sandwich came with chips, I wouldn't have gotten this. But, when are tater tots ever a bad decision? These tasty buggers were deep-fried and naturally a tad oily. Perhaps baking them would've been a better option.

SERVICE: The order takers were welcoming and friendly. Food service took about 10 minutes at opening time.

TIP: No fountain soda was available, only bottled.

OVERALL: Steep pricing but at least everything was...

We spent the afternoon at the science center and decided to get food here. Probably won’t do that again. Food wasn’t horrible, but keys break it down. Power bowl = Dry stale kale that tasted like lawn trimmings. Miami bowl = slightly better except chicken was turned into jerky. Bacon club. I gotta admit, this was very good. Not worth $15… but it’s a tourist trap so what can you expect? The Mac and cheese was actually rotini pasta and cheese. I expected cheap kraft knock off, but was pleasantly surprised. Don’t go here expecting it to be inexpensive. You’re at an attraction. If you want “great food”, bring it or go elsewhere. If you’re hungry and want “ok” food, this’ll do just fine. The employees were actually nicer and more attentive than the museum employees. So A+++ to the employees...

The only positive thing I can say about the place was that at least the food was decent. It was well cooked and flavorful. However, the wait time was excessive. It took 50 minutes to get our food and even then we only got it because we went to the counter and asked about our food and waited until they had figured out where our order had gone. The cost was exorbitant. It was over $70 for 3 people to get a burger, 2 tacos, and some fish n' chips. And to top it all off, they forgot to include our French fries (that we paid extra for) and we had to go back and ask...
