Stars and Stripes Café

They dont weigh the salads correctly. My two kids each got a handful of salad in a very heavy bowl. It added 40 dollars to my bill and the lady said she deducted the weight of the bowl. There is no way two tiny salads should cost $40

Down in the basement of the American History museum is a mecca of American junk food but among all of the hamburgers, chicken tenders and hot dogs, one can find a nice salad bar for healthy choices and something often skipped in the typical American diet - veggies. $19.95 a pound. If you spend over $25 you get a few drink with free refills.

VERYYYY EXPENSIVE 🤑

Its just the common cafeteria you find at public places, nothing special but DO NOT get the cream of broccoli you will not be able to eat it! I was starving and I really tried but I just couldn’t, it was beyond disgusting, did not taste like broccoli, cheese was clumped up and it was NOT creamy at all

Overpriced, really. This place has great food and people, but the price of the food makes amusement park food look cheap. I have a budget of 15 dollars and can’t even get a full meal without overspending. I got a Mac and cheese and a dinner roll and it was 14 dollars!!!!! Why?????? The Mac was the most meager portion ever and the bread was hard and crusty. Would not go Ever again

Basic no flavor food and staff not friendly or personable. Cole slaw was dry. Chicken was dry. Burger had no flavor. Chicken fingers were nothing special. Mac n cheese dish was the best out of them all. A .25 cent bottle of Dasani water cost $4.30 each! Every one of the staff acted aggravated and were short with you. Total cost for a family of 4, for basic lunch, over $70. Only bright spot is it was clean and well kept. Go eat at one of the food trucks outside.

I have been to an ample amount of Theme Park and Museum Cafeterias as a means of resting myself to prepare for other ventures to differing exhibits or rides in the case of Milton Hershey's Theme Park from 1906, Hersheypark that I have last visited in the Trump Administration.

In hindsight, the most recent venture I had to the gracious Smithsonian Museum of American History's cafeteria adorned with a visit to the greatest Americna History Museum in the Mid-Atlantic Region was a mediocre experience that brought me with adequate nutrients, but a squander of funds in the process, despite the unique touch of a walk through of the anecdotal history of the Lunchbox, from humble beginnings of rusty buckets for agricultural work to feed hungry men carrying items of nutrient worth in the late 19th century in Industrial sectors to the metallic lunchbox of the 1950s and the Countercultural lunchbox design of the 1960s and 1970s decades featuring designs from the Beatles and The Lone Ranger to Get Smart and the A-,Team of the 1980s decade, an exhibit of its own that I found historically significant and an element that all individuals shall check out.

The food, while decent and equipped with ample serving sizes, is relatively expensive, not from the basis of the use of the United States Continental Currency, but through the use of the contemporary United States dollar initially established by Secretary of Treasury, Alexander Hamilton in 1792 after 102 years of the use of differing Spanish currency, the British-based Shilling or the Pound or pence among other forms of currency, but from the basis of a Museum Cafeteria standard, the food was great, and was relatively helpful with providing me with a suffice amount of sustenance to last through my amazing venture, as the Chicken Tenders and French Fries in addition to a Brownie that I found good, in addition, they did not charge me to refill my H20 Bottle, leaving me eccentric despite the absurd price, which I have detracted 2 stars from the review because of the issues involving monetary cost.

Vegetarian options: Such vegetarian options as the Salad Bar, Macaroni and Cheese, All-American Desserts, Caesar Salad, and French Fries offer vegetarian consumers modest experiences for a cost that is not the most comfortable.

The rest of the museum is very well kept and interesting. But this part is simply lack-luster. There's nothing good to eat, everything is super overpriced ($30 for a salad), and the seating area is simply disgusting! It makes me wonder where all the money is going, as the museum is kept on taxes, not cafe profit. Horrible experience. Still check out the museum upstairs tho very cool stuff.

Stopped by to get the kiddos a quick snack since we still had a lot to see. My fiance and I were pleasantly surprised by the cost, seeing as though it's a cafe inside a museum. Have to pay attention to the weight of certain foods you choose but other then that I'd say it's a cafe we wouldn't mind splurging on now and again for the kids♥️

Definitely one of those places that’s just there and easier than leaving the museum to eat. The food was alright but not great the receipt I have doesn’t show the pizzas my wife got which were actually pretty good, just took forever. Like I said if you are in the museum and hungry this is pretty much your only option unless you want to go outside and hit food trucks. An apple is $2.20 which I thought was a bit pricey for one apple.
