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.
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.
Yummy and inexpensive alternative to the more expensive places to eat at the MFA. The salad bar has some awesome options, like dried fruit, and even at the end of the day everything still looked fresh. This is also great if you have kids or a big group!
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.
Very good choices at reasonable prices in this MFA cafeteria. Beautiful view of courtyard. Nice, bright atmosphere with plenty of seating. Perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch.
Good food, cafeteria service as opposed to table service. Less "fancy" food than the main floor cafe, but less expensive and I think every bit as good. Where the staff eat. Very good value for money.
Garden cafeteria was ok. They had premade burgers and chicken fingers, pizza that was kept warm by lights, limited Salad bar. All of which seemed overpriced, even with members discount.
An easy place to eat with a good variety while visiting the museum. A bit expensive but understandable. Be a member and receive a 15% discount off your bill.
A great way to feed the family a good meal at a very good price. You know it's good if the employees eat there. Save cash & eat well.

The place to go at the MFA for a more affordable bite to eat. Good view of the courtyard.
Great little cafeteria if you don't want to spend a fortune. Clean.

Fast service, great, mellow coffee, and tasty lemon ginger scone - moist, light flavors.
Best place to eat on a budget inside the Museum of Fine Arts.
