I stopped here last week with a friend while we were visiting the museums on the same property. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting too much because I thought it might be more of a cafeteria affiliated with the museums. But nope, it’s no cafeteria. You get a real meal prepared to order!

The owner Bruce welcomed us. He helped me navigate a gluten allergy which I so greatly appreciated. Often I just get the stink eye when I ask questions. He was happy to give me options that were safe.

I can’t say there were huge selections for drinks or desserts or what not, but I appreciated this because the menu had real food vs packaged stuff. Great place when it’s expected you’ll be serving kids and seniors, in terms of being health conscious.

Bruce provided friendly and attentive service. The day we went, there was also plenty of seating. And the food we got was he was great! We both found it fresh, tasty, and appropriate sized portions. We’re glad we stopped on. Can’t beat the convenience too, if you’re already parked for...

The menu seems somewhat limited but the options they have on there make it so hard to choose out of all the delicious options. The food was beyond flavorful, very tender, and filling. The employees/owners are very kind, friendly, inviting, and have a lighthearted sense of humor. The location is beside the museum so parking can SOMETIMES be an issue but never a severe issue. I would highly recommend this place and the food that resides. I would add a photo but I ate it too...

came here with my mom and nephew for a last minute lunch before seeing the museums for the first time…when i say i am SO glad we came here, i mean it! from the food, to the service to the atmosphere. everything is AMAZING, seriously the best bbq i’ve had in the northeast and even down south, and that’s coming from someone who has lived in the south! also, the pressed green juice is 100/10! deff will be back and will stop by whenever...
