We ate a salad with chicken and mac and cheese with chicken.
Both meal were great for a museum cafe.

We walked in and people were everywhere. We couldn't figure out where the line was.
When we got in line the guy at the counter called us and asked what we wanted, before we could say anything he ran off to the back.
We left and were asked if everything was OK, said no your place sucks and tried to leave, a lady ran after us to say sorry. She would not leave us alone.

Dirty food for double the money would be my short description of this place. But you can’t do anything else if you have to eat something in the museum.

The WORST part about a visit to the Field Museum. You can reasonably expect that it's expensive but it's also filthy and they're frequently out of the majority of the already limited menu. The museum has a lot of space where you can eat your own lunch. You could bring a bag of Fritos and a granola bar and have a better experience.

We got in at the beginning of the lunch rush on a not so busy day at the Field. It was clean and easy to grab a seat. The pizza is horrible, skip that for sure. The fries are what you’d expect. Chicken Caesar salad was decent (pick up your salad in the cooler before you go to the counter). The CHEESEBURGER, though? I feel like I found a hidden gem for a good burger! Smashed patties with nice crisp on the edges, buttery bun, melty cheese… So good! It was the only thing we ordered that was maybe worth the high price. ?

When visiting this cafe make sure u ask when you order what you get. They advertise pizza but after purchase ull find out it is only 1/4 of it. When you buy a hot dog do you get a bun only? Wont come back again ever!

You can't charge 12$ for a pizza that had a picture of a full sized pizza but then only give us a quarter of spicy cardboardService was hard and difficult. Very hostile.Kids meals are the same price as regular meal.Mac a cheese was just mac with a hint on cheese.Every worker looked like they hated their job and the guests.All pictures were deceiving. Nothjng looked like the picture.We feel scammed. Dooped.
