Valkyrie Cafe — Restaurant in Riverside

My family loves going to the Air Force Museum but this part just reeks of a bad contract. You can't take outside food/drinks into the museum. While I am wholeheartedly in support of contributing to this free museum in any way I can, the cafe was way overpriced for terrible food options. The quote "Torpedo Dog" quote was just an oversized, plain hot dog that was $6.50. Prepackaged muffins (like at a gas station, not baked onsite which i can see paying more for) were $4.50 and $4.25.

In order to get there, I had to either duck under one of the barriers or walk back through the line where I was rung out, like a little labyrinth challenge. I didn't love paying $5.45 for a bottle of iced tea. The sandwich, without condiments, wasn't bad and the french-fries, without...

It was embarrassingly bad. One poor guy to serve dozens of people in line and check people out. Long wait for pizza, looked awful anyway. Coffee and tea was the only warm drink, the place was 55 to 60 degrees inside so need something hot. People wait for 30 minutes for not even mediocre food. Out of buns out of cups, cold macaroni.

Really does not do justice for the museum facility. I'm not sure if cafe workers are paid or volunteered but the poor guy was doing the best he could with what...
