[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of this advice is out of date, sadly.

As a PP noted, Mitsitam is closed for renovations, but even before that, the quality had slid downhill (while prices went up). I used to love the Indian taco there, but the last two times I went, the fry bread was tough and dried out and the chili wasn't as good.

National Gallery used to have a wonderful cafeteria, but they changed their vendor and now use Sodexo, which also is also the vendor for DCPS. Well, I don't know if you are familiar with DCPS lunches but... it's not an upgrade. The selection is also much more limited. Even the pastries at the gelato bar are usually stale.

The African American museums is still very good, I recommend that one.

Also, while the fare is more typical cafeteria food (burgers, chicken tenders, etc.), the quality at Natural History is better than at other museums at the moment. Unsure if they are also using Sodexo or not, I didn't inquire, but the food is fresher and seems to have better quality ingredients.

So AA and NH are the two I recommend to visitors who want to eat on the mall.[/quote]

This.

The quality at the AA museum is incredible, Mitsitam is worse than it was before but still has some good stuff, everything else is a very steep downgrade. Like very dry kids chicken tenders. My kids will eat it, by with a group of adults I would walk off the mall to [/quote]
