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.
Decent typical cafeteria style food. Not a bad place to grab a snack or a light meal while visiting the MFA.
If you have kids this is a good place to dine at the musuem. Nice selection of hot food, Pizza, sandwiches, soups, and salad bar, wine, beer too. You can eat outside in spring/summer/early fall and let your kids run around.
Nice room in the basement of MFA. Lots of window to the courtyard. In summer you can sit there as well. The food is good but not spectacular. It is a cafeteria so you pick up your food, pay for it, find a table, bus the table. A better value than the other restaurants at the museum but still not cheap.
There's a good variety of food at reasonable prices. If you're on a budget, or trying to feed a small herd if children, you can't go wrong. It does get hectic early on with families coming in, but it's never too hard to find a seat. Matbe worse on Open House days, but still manageable. Things you'll find: pizza, cheese/burgers, hot hogs, chicken fingers, fries, onion rings, chips, 2 choices of soup, a salad bar, a by-the-pound hot food choice (varies), frozen novelty deserts, soda, juice, coffee, beer, and even wine.
Crowded, overpriced, limited selection. Only in business because they have a captive audience. The staff is nice, but the management is clearly not willing to put enough people on the floor for peak times. They can’t keep food out, and the checkout line is chaos.
The Garden Cafe is the most reasonably priced food option at the MFA and, all things considered,
the best one. There is a wide variety of hot and cold foods. But the best bet is the fresh and varied salad bar. The indoor space is bright and pleasant with a wall of windows looking out onto a large garden that offers beautiful outdoor seating under the trees three seasons a year.
