Usda Headquarters Cafeteria - Washington DC - Photo album
Very good food at locally-reasonable prices. Wonderful selection and very amusing food guideline posters from over the years. Enjoyed seeing an older government building that has served us all for decades.
The armed security police at the cafeteria public entrance were very put-out to see us arrive,
Let's be fair... It is a rebuilding phase. The Korean food was decent, as was the Japanese. The salad bar was nice for the little that was available.
I'll go back in a couple of years and see how they have improved.
It used to be great, pre-pandemic. But without Fed employees coming in, the place cut down big time. Only a limited selection left but the remaining food stalls are good. It's a great place for people to eat while visiting the museums or workers in the area.
This is a nice, quiet place to get a tasty lunch and relax in some air conditioning. The food here is buffet style and they weigh your order to charge by the pound. There was a nice variety of salads and build your own burrito fixings. We ate here mostly out of curiosity, but I am glad we did!
Brought a group of 18 people here on 8/3/23- they had just reopened w/multiple MTO food options and a great salad bar. Prices were very reasonable for the area- a perfect option for those museum hopping & looking for a great lunch spot. Security is very friendly (it’s a Federal office building so an
Lunch in the USDA cafeteria - it's open to the public - was too interesting to pass up. Veggies were very good, pork chops not so much. Staff and service very good.
Great selection and very reasonably priced, similar to what you would find at a grocery store pricewise. They have a Mexican bar, Chinese food, Caribbean, sushi, salad bar, soup, and much more. Perfect way to get some air conditioning and lunch if you are touring the Smithsonian. Adults will have to
Good food at excellent prices for DC.
Let's start with the obvious: The cafeteria -- and its "public" status -- are not obvious from the street. Also, there's a pretty significant security presence at the one "guest" entrance. Nice folks though! Just let them know that you're here to visit the ca
Hidden gem downtown. High quality food at fair prices. Great for groups who want quick meals with variety.
I was completely floored by the top-shelf quality of every single loose-leaf tea I purchased here.
An awesome experience! USDA has an amazing opportunity for great food. Anyone ne who can visit should visit. Between the food court and food vendors, we have a lot of options for everyone!
Even the wide angle lense couldn't include the huge building structure in its frame. Absolutely amazing.
Great cafeteria! Such a variety of healthy choices!
This buffet style cafe is open to the public! Be adventurous and try the seaweed salad..it's soo good!!
Surprisingly good. The food was very good, and a wide variety (heavy on Asian dishes) and freshly made. For the money it was great. We spent $33 for lunch for three people. Close to the mall but enter in building 3 on Independence. Dining room was open and airy though sort of institutional. Recommen
I love chatting with the Korean couple that run the noodle and sushi bar! The udon noodles there are quite good. As for the hot bar, I can usually find a variety of things that look good and taste good. There are both healthy options and comfort food options at the hot bar, and there is a salad, veg
