Mimi NguyenOctober 17, 2016The fried chicken, stews and sandwiches are delicious! Long lines when the museum is crowded but one of the better options for lunch at the Smithsonian museumsUpvote13Downvote
Q RobersonApril 5, 2017Although pricey, the food quality makes it worth it. Be adventurous and try a different cuisine, like shrimp & grits or duck & crawfish gumbo (both are huge portions) ... you won't be disappointed!Upvote6Downvote

Charlie-MikeFebruary 9, 2017MEGA EXPENSIVE for what you get. Almost everything was too spice for me. I can't do any kind of spice unless it's just for taste. Not heartburn. Water $3-5 😲UpvoteDownvote2
