“I admire this place! They serve sensational dishes, their menu is varied, The chef in that spot is an expert, I like very much tasting all their dishes. The food is consistently tasty, the attitude towards the customers is helpful. I often go to this place and I not even once was unhappy. I recommend it to all.“

“Spent the day in DC yesterday and decided to enjoy lunch at the renowned Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe at the National Museum of the American Indian. I had heard such great things about, and I definitely wasn't steered wrong! Enjoyed the Bison Burger and the special platter with 3 sides, for which I selected Roast Rainbow Beets, Corn Pudding with cranberry gremolata, and Manoomin cakes (made of wild rice). Everything was so fresh and flavorful, and expressed inspiration from native American cuisine. The cafe has a very large selection of dishes as well, and foods are either plated immediately or cooked to order. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and there's large seating overseeing the gorgeous outdoor fountain. I can't recommend it enough, as it is a must try when visiting DC.“

“I take my aunt here annually to pick up her thanksgiving catered order. Today we decided to have lunch as well.

This place has a warm feeling and the staff is stern but in a friendly organized way. The food is good and I am thankful for free street parking.

Great job SPC!“

“I am staff at UMD and eat here at least once a week. It is a college cafeteria...but has great options for all tastes and health tendencies. I like it better than the bigger newer one on campus for its coziness and efficiency in finding what you want.“

“It was my husband's 75th birthday. This was mentioned when we made our reservation and when we were seated. No recognition was given to him. As we were leaving, we met someone who turned 70 and they told us that they gave him a complimentary dessert. As often as we go to Clydes, I feel that the service toniight was not up to par.“

“The food isn't as good as Yahentamitsi nor is there as much selection.BUT it's much less crowded and it has real ice cream and milkshakesBeing less crowded makes the experience of eating there much more pleasant than Yahentamitsi.“

“I can eat the Kurger Bing on base, or the mess. Either one I choose will destroy my stomach. Question is, do I pay overpriced for it, or for free?

“My days of growing up from a juvenile to an adult everything I did and didn’t was work related or job of taking care of myself whether I understood or didn’t understand what was going on in my surroundings whether my comprehension skills was average or poor ! To exist is laboring my opinion to exist your working when we didn’t exist we where not working !“

“Building underwent a huge renovation and is now really nice.

DFAC is basically all-you-can-eat, and they give you a to-go plate. Some items are better than others (the fries can be a little soggy), but there’s so much variety that you never struggle to find something good to eat. Espresso machines and soda fountains.

Pretty great value for just $7, especially since you can get a to-go plate after you’re done eating.“

“Had a great lunch at the cafe. Tasty food, nicely portioned, good service.

The atmosphere of this cafe is more like a diner. Nothing fancy but comfortable.

We had the steak barley soup, lobster bisque, calamari, heriloom tomatoes burrata salad, ravioli, turkey avocado sandwich, and penne bolognese pasta with chicken meatball. And we all enjoyed everything we ordered.

Our server was attentive and courteous & price came out pretty reasonable.
