Twenty dollars got me a pre... View all feedback. What Eddie Junior likes about Blue Oak Cafe:
It's a new year, and while I was at Blue Oak Cafe, I noticed a picture on the wall. The janitor was there and kindly returned something I needed to charge.

Great food, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, wifi, and free coffee refills. Great spot to have lunch or get some work done. Not just for museum-goers.

The food here is really good, but a little pricey in my opinion. It's hard to choose which is good, but I do like the sliders.
