Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I have never had a broccoli that was cooked to perfection quite like it was in this dish."
"Had lunch here before going through the entire library and museum. It was very good food and the people were so helpful and kind. The Reagan BBQ Ranch Burger and it was excellent."
"Ronald Reagan Museum. So much to see. Beautiful views of Simi Valley. Go early & enjoy your day. Great café."
"The Reagan steak chili was terrific. My wife had the angus bacon cheeseburger which was also very good. The weather was perfect for dining on the patio and the view is magnificent."
"Super Cute Museum Cafe There's seating inside, outside on the patio, and in the gallery: The food is surprisingly yummy for it being a museum cafeteria: They even had gluten-free hamburger buns! Excellent service and loved all the old photographs. There's a phone charging station in the gallery; it locks, so you don't necessarily have to stand by it. Wonderful!"
"This is a California cafeteria style eatery. The food is very good quality, and there's a nice selection though the prices are pretty high. The dining floor is very open with tremendous views of the surrounding area. You obviously have to be a paying visitor to the museum to eat here. Parking is free."
"I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was despite being a rather common dish!"
"Absolutely fantastic restaurant. I literally walk here and eat frequently with friends and family because I live on Presidential Drive, the same street that the Reagan library is on. I strongly suggest the turkey croissant club sandwich! Delicious. All of the eateries inside the library are really good. Actually I love the lemonade at the pub. I don’t drink."
