Freshly made food with affordable pricing and options for everyone including kids. Much easier than packing and hauling around snacks and drinks.
This place may have the best sandwiches in Dayton! They have a bonafide chef! My favorite is the chef’s special sweet chili chicken sandwich, but I’ve not had anything there that wasn’t top notch. And it’s inexpensive! Surprisingly, the sell beer and wine (except Sundays).
We always make a point to eat here when we bring the kids to the Boonshoft. Plenty of options for picky eaters, and for adults with broader palates and vegetarians. Eating here completes the Boonshoft experience for sure.

Eco Eatery is the on-site restaurant for the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. This place may have the best sandwiches in Dayton and has a bonafide chef. The chef’s special sweet chili chicken sandwich is a favorite, and it’s inexpensive. Surprisingly, they sell beer and wine (except Sundays). The restaurant is bright, cheery, and welcoming with a nice variety of seating styles and sizes. It is neat that they set it up to be eco-friendly, including giving out compostable trays and cups and having divided bins for when you're done eating. The majority of the menu focuses on sandwiches, salads, and snacks. There are amazing options, Daily and Weekly specials, and some really amazing sandwiches. Plenty of options for picky eaters, and for adults with broader palates and vegetarians. Sandwiches are made to order and include a nice variety of cold selections and then there is also a daily special, which was a very good buffalo chicken sandwich with pepperjack, lettuce, tomato, and onion, and came with a side (we opted for chips). There are also cheese quesadillas (also an option of chicken) and a selection of kids meals designed for kids 8 and under. These come with Goldfish, applesauce, and a juice box and choice of half a sandwich: grilled cheese, ham and cheese, or pbj; or 2 piece chicken tenders. Their handmade desserts change daily and are displayed on a sandwich board up front. The staff were friendly and efficient and kept the line moving. This would be a great standalone resturant so the fact that it's in the Museum is an amazing addition. Eating here completes the Boonshoft experience for sure.
