Sweet Home Cafe offers a variety of delicious meals, including the BBQ Pulled Pork, fried chicken with mac & cheese, and build-your-own bowl options. The portions are generous, and the flavors are memorable. The overall dining experience is enjoyable, though some dishes like collard greens and cornbread might not be for everyone. Prices can be a bit steep, but discounts are available for Smithsonian members. The cafe is located in the lower level of the African-American History Museum, and it can seat a little over 400 people. The cafe is clean and well-maintained, and the architecture and design are simply beautiful. Customers have praised the excellent soul food, well-prepared fried chicken, baked beans, mac and potato salad, and delicious desserts. However, some have noted a lack of seasoning, which may be due to the cafe's partnership with a healthcare provider. The staff is described as polite and kind, but some customers have found the shouting of food station information to be rude. Overall, Sweet Home Cafe offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience for visitors to the museum.
