Riverview Cafe

This restaurant is very close Charles river, you can enjoy your food and see the rivers view, it’s great time to your evening, even the food is soso

I got the BBQ pulled pork meal. Everything was delicious. Potato salad, Mac and cheese and Kentucky bourbon BBQ pulled pork sandwich. Very friendly service and huge portions.

On a recent visit at 2 PM all the food in the Puck’s area looked like it had been sitting out there all day. If I want an old soggy pizza I can find it in my fridge on any given day.
Nice salad bar, but pricey. This place is certainly better than most «captive» restaurants in museums. Generally if it’s a kid-​oriented place it’s junk food, or if it’s arty it’s tiny portions of twee food (brie abounds). River View has a nice mix of real food and fast food. They just need to up their game if the Puck’s trademark is going to keep its value.

Is it weird that is place is one of my favorite parts about visiting the museum? Great pasta at Puck’s, and the grill has a lot of solid options. The view is obviously great, too.

The Riverview café was a lifesaver for us on our recent trip to Boston. Friendsay and I were so hungry after our travels from the airport, to 40 Berkeley, then subway and walking travels to Science Park to get on the Duck Tour. When we arrived, we had a couple of hours before the Duck Tour but there were no restaurants to grab anything to eat anywhere near by in walking distance. We were not interested in the Science Museum but I thought it may be worth a try going in and seeing if they had a restaurant. BINGO! Just in the area where you walk in, free of charge, there is an entrance of the museum that has BAM! a café that overlooks the Charles River… hence: Riverview Café!
There were several six bars of various types of food where you choose, go through a line, then carry your tray to the cashier and go pick a seat. The choices are Starbuck’s, a Taqueria, Salad Bar, Grab & Go, The Grill, and Puck’s– featuring Wolfgang Puck’s specialty foods. We grabbed a couple of burritos from the Taqueria and went for the window seating to look over the river while we dined.
Understand, there are A LOT of kids here! Hindsight, I would take the food and go outside and eat on the river away from the field trip groups but oh well… the place was clean and there were lots of choices of food and that is what mattered most.
