It's been years since I last visited but I only remembered God things and that made my mouth water even more. I immediately knew what I wanted. Fried wings, mac & cheese, and rice and gravy. My dad and sister ordered greens, and I already knew I would be getting a taste of those too. Now... here is where things shifted a bit. All of the meat was dry. Like it had been sitting for hours, dry. And not just my plate--errybody's. LOLOL I had wings, my father had whiting, and my sister had baked chicken, and somehow all of it came out dry and I ain't even joking. Even the cornbread was dry and I love some cornbread. But the sides? Completely different story. Y'all that mac & cheese, rice and gravy, and greens was AMAZING!! So you already know I am going back, I just know what to get.

This café has just about anything you would want from salads to sushi to pizza to hamburgers. The pizza caught my eye and we were in a hurry so I thought I would give it a try. There were about four different types of pizza to choose from and I chose the veggie pizza maintaining my healthy eating outlook. Unfortunately, the pizza was not that good. There were plenty of vegetables, but the variety was quite limited. There were only three different types of vegetables on it, one of them being onions, which I don't like. There was a lot of cheese and the pizza was on the soggy side. The crust was average.

Once inside the maze that is House, you really don't want to have to go out of the building unless you have to. They do have a lot to offer from breakfast (hot breakfast bar, hot cereal, omelet station, yogurt bar) to bakery and there are other spots to go. Deli station, salads, pizza and soup. Not to mention convenient items such as drinks and snacks. I only needed a drink whereas others in my groups wanted a little something else. I opted for the self checkout, it took a minute to figure out their system, but I was able to get it going and was paid in full. The one thing this place has, as an extension, is a Starbucks. It sits outside of the cafeteria section and you can order ahead and pick up.

I was honestly impressed with the quality of food they served. I had the buttermilk fried chicken, Mac & cheese, and Gold Coast white rice ( absolutely delicious) and a side of sweet potato pie. Sweet Home Cafe is located in the atrium of The National Museum Of African American History and Culture. So, for sure it is a major tourist dining area ( which keeps the atmosphere jubilant ) I definitely give them two thumbs up !!!

This cafe actually does not have a connecting entrance to the actual Holocaust Museum, but still has the same security protocols for entrance. When we arrived, the place was pretty quiet inside. Pricing is pretty high as expected for a museum cafe, and the portion sizes certainly smaller than we envisioned. We ordered a Tunamelt Sandwich, and the food quality was decent, but nothing to rave about. Coffee and other drinks are offered with unlimited refills, so that was a nice perk as we finished our meal and gave our weary feet a rest. Service here was very lackluster, and seemed to be staffed by people who couldn't be bothered to do more than the bare minimum. Thankfully, the interior seating area was decently clean though.

As the name on Yelp here insinuates, this is a cafeteria style eatery area. Each week the menu appears to change in a majority of the stations. With several themed days. I utilized the Grab & Go section which is more like a convenience store section. Prepackaged snacks and drinks to get you through the day. I used this route because it was a long day on the Hill for me and my group leaving us little time to enjoy a full meal. Plenty of seating if you do decided to dine inhouse.

Oh the hype is real…read more No one ever says a negative word about the cafeteria. That's because you get a variety of choices, superb quality for cafeteria eats, and uber affordable prices. From their salad bar, to their soups (mainly their chili), sandwich shops, pizza/flatbreads, burgers/hot dogs, gyro station, dessert station, and main course/global cuisine stations. Global cuisines rotate every day and each day has something delicious. The week I was in attendance, there was Salmon w/ veggies, Lasagna, and Fried Chicken as the delicious options.

Unique Native American‑Inspired Dishes With Pleasant Views and Friendly Service…read more We arrived at the end of lunchtime, so we knew that some of the items may not be as "fresh" as they would have been around noon. The Café offers an interesting take on Native American cuisine. Everything we tried was prepared well, and the portions were substantial enough that splitting the Fry Bread Taco and a dessert would have been more than sufficient. The seating area provides a relaxing view of the outdoor water feature, adding to the overall experience. While the café can become loud when full, the atmosphere remains comfortable and enjoyable. Pros: * Menu - Creative menu featuring Native American‑inspired dishes with consistent quality * Food - Portions are generous, offering strong value for the price * Staff - Friendly and efficient service throughout the visit * Dining Area - Seating area overlooks an attractive outdoor water feature * What we had - Fry Bread Taco and dessert options are both filling and well‑prepared Cons: * Noise levels increase noticeably during peak times, though still manageable A distinctive and enjoyable dining option within the museum, offering flavorful dishes, generous portions, and a pleasant setting. A solid 4‑star experience.

Fitting, since it's right next to the Air and Space museum, I decided to hit the National Museum of the American Indian and partake. Skip all of the food trucks lined up along the road, and go inside and sit down and enjoy. It's one of the few times I dined anywhere and knew exactly what I was going to get. It was set up like a mini food court with different stations which had different dishes. I ponied up to the one with the taco and the woman put together an amazing looking "taco". It's like no other taco I've ever had. This thing weighed a lot, and that made the $18+ price tag worth it. It was delicious and definitely knife and fork material. It was a hodge-podge of meat, beans, pickled veggies, and sauces and it was delicious. There was plenty of seating when I was there and some cool views of a water feature outside. And since you're here, go visit the museum too. It's pretty cool!
