Lunch With Tony

Museum food. Enough said.
It is terrible, overpriced, and the food of last resort. I ate here only because I was seeing the new Star Wars and had only ten to twenty minutes to grab food before the show and I didn’t feel like popcorn for breakfast.
I ordered a grilled cheese. What I got were two half cooked bleached white bread slices with a small slice of half melted processed cheese inside. They didn’t bother to use butter or salt, and it was terrible. The WORST grilled cheese I have ever eaten — and I have eaten at some TERRIBLE truck stops and hospitals before!
It also came with a very sad salad of wilted mixed greens, and I paired it with a glass of tap water.
The only redeeming quality — they sold rice krispies (packaged goods) that weren’t half bad. Seating wa also eay, and they took credit.

A lot of people don’t even know this place is open to the public but you don’t have to do anything at the museum but eat here! Since they are in the tech museum they do have great kid options like chicken tenders and slider burgers. Not gonna lie even at 29 years old I still love both of those items and order them often! The French fries are also top notch and some of my favorite fries around! They do have more adult options too, I also often order the Italian meat panini if you’re looking for a more adult option. The selection of grab-​n-​go items is pretty good too if you’re really in a hurry. Going to the museum or not this is a sweet spot to grab some good grub!

Slow service. No gluten free/​dairy free options & they were not able to make my food as ordered. The next day I brought my lunch & decided not to stand in the long slow line again just to buy a water.

Located inside The Tech Museum of Innovation but accessible to guests who aren’t visiting the museum as well.
Plenty of seating with a few table outside incase you’d prefer to soak up the sun while enjoying lunch. They have everything from pre made sandwiches for those in a hurry to made to order sandwiches, salads, pastas and more.
I ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese combo and went to find a place to sit. I felt like I’d just settled in when a smiling face delivered my lunch. I was happily surprised to see my lunch also came with a small mixed green salad as well.
The creese sandwich was crisp and buttery but I wished the cheese would have been a sharper cheddar. Other than that it was pretty darn good. The salad was perfect because it cut the richness of the sandwich and the soup. Oooooh the soup. So tomato soup is really hit and miss. Some are flavorless and some just taste like spaghetti –O’s … Yuck! But the tomato soup and Lunch with Tony is REALLY good. It’s rich, creamy and simply delicious. I think this is my new go to comfort food lunch place based on the tomato soup alone!

Gourmet food. Gourmet taste with fastfood price. The best of both worlds.
I would appreciate if they had more complex carbs options. All the white bread sandwiches are simple carbs.

Tony’s food is always wonderful.
