Cafeterias near Fort Myer, VA

“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.“

“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!“

“This has been my go to place for lunch when in DC. I love the sampler platter with food representing the cuisine of the different native cultures in various geographic areas of the continent. They reflect how the peoples incorporated the available fish and animals and the types of grain and vegetation into their meals. Not inexpensive but a cultural as well as a gustatory experience.“

“The staff are professional“

“I can not express my love for UMD Dining enough right now! They have stepped in (and up) to cover the food and beverage experience for our patrons at the ArtHouse. Their quality, service, and food offerings are spot on!! Thanks so much!“

“A friend and I had dinner at Nordstrom Market Place at Montgomery Mall (Bethesda, MD) on Saturday, 1/18/2025. The dinner was exceptional. From the Chef's Selection menu, I chose the braised beef ragu served with cheese tortellini, and it was outstanding. I swear the tortellini tasted like it was made fresh just for me - it literally melted in my mouth. The braised beef was cooked to perfection. The ragu sauce, with chunks of tomato and spinach, was delicious. My friend had the tomato basil soup and a beautiful salad and said both were delicious. We had a 6 pm reservation but it wasn't needed as the restaurant was not crowded. On a scale of 1-5 (5 belong difficult to converse with others at your table), I give this restaurant a 0.5 - the room was peacefully quiet. We had no problem conversing with each other and there was no background music coming through the speakers. Staff were attentive and pleasant. I highly recommend this cozy restaurant and plan to return very soon.“

To exist is laboring my opinion to exist your working when we didn’t exist we where not working !“

“Very nice and convenient place to eat. I work at the Galleria, which is right around the way. The menu has variety and the staff are very friendly and professional. You could eat outside as well and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tysons II business park. 👍🏽💯🍗🍔🍟🍕🌭🥪🌮🌯🥙🍳🥘🍲🫕🥤🧋🧃🫡😎“

“Several different ‘food bars’ heavily weighted towards Asian choices (but not exclusively Asian). Atmosphere of a college casa. Clean, reasonable priced and the staff were friendly and helpful. Small hassle to get in the building (metal detector, show ID) but worth it.“

“I really appreciated the extremely low prices on the food. It made a difficult stay easier for my family. There was lots of seating and big open windows. It’s hospital food, so it is what it is, but is almost free so the value is unmatched. I didn’t experience any rude service, but if that it happening it is completely unacceptable.“

“6th floor of the Madison building. Open to public and or visitors. Food buffet style. Government AOC employees get up to 20% discount on food

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of areas for families with children to enjoy a nice lunch or breakfast“
