Food was good. Veggie burger was yummy, and I enjoyed hot, fresh sweet potato fries. My friend got meal that menu said was gluten free, but it had some wheat grain in it. Oh no! Patio is very nice, so we ate there.
Ordered the BLTA (Bacon, Lettuce, and tomato sandwich w avocado). They brought it to the table with the bread burned to a crisp-- black on both sides. The burned bread was dry, no mayo. No avocado on the sandwich either. A sad waste of $ and time. People sitting next to us were served same scorched/dry sandwich. I'd recommend grabbing a bite elsewhere before coming to the MIM.

They have a good variety for a cafe and the prices were very reasonable.

Great food and service for an institutional setting. A great selection of dishes, good coffee and house made desserts!

The Best Arizona Burger I had ! Appreciate the healthy side options. Recommend to eat by 12 if museum is busy that day. Nice outdoor seating options, for those of us who hate being inside all day. At back of restaurant area free water and ice available , drinks are priced high, but I thought all other foods reasonable, especially considering the high quality.

Great burger, and very good veggie gluten free burger. Served cafeteria style. Everything cooked fresh and brought to your table. Reasonable prices. Worth eating here while visiting MIM

This Cafe is located inside the Musical Instrument Museum and you do not need to pay entrance to the museum to eat here. There is a small cafe at the front for coffee, tea, drinks and a few small bites open during museum hours while the restaurant at the back serves only at lunchtime (currently 11:30 to 2:30pm). What I love most is that the restaurant sources their food locally so you can try different local treats like goat milk fudge, Hayden Mills flour cookies, ice cream from Gilbert, etc. I picked up a local farm box here at the cafe on a weekly basis and know they are very welcoming whether you or a museum patron or not. It also has a beautiful outdoor patio where you can eat or just relax. It's a little secret place I share with friends visiting. Of course the museum is amazing, but if museums aren't your thing or you just want to try something much healthier and more unique than the chain restaurants at Desert Ridge be sure to check out the cafe.

This is a must see!! Musical Instruments from all over the world. The Artist gallery has artifacts from Taylor Swift, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Denver, and many more!!! The mechanical music room was intriguing and the Experience room was truly cathartic!! Ages 6,13,46,76,84 in our party and everyone loved it!!!

Went to a David Cook concert there. The facility was great. The seat was comfortable. However, the idiots 2 rows in front of up stood up the entire concert. The weren't young rock and rollers but a 50+ year old guy with wife and 2 kids. He never even tried to dance, just stood there. They never sat down, ever. There was an older woman and young girl sitting right behind them & they saw nothing of the performers. I could see the performers from the head up. WOW!! I think there should be some level of courtesy applied by patrons that attend and if they aren't then the attendants should step in and do something. Never going back there to see anyone that would bring these kind of patrons.
