"This ambitious restaurant within the National Museum of African American History and Culture showcases the diversity of African American cuisine with dishes like gumbo, shrimp and grits, and oyster pan roast. They often host special events surrounding such occasions as Women’s History Month." - Missy Frederick, Tierney Plumb
"Alongside its po’boys, fried chicken, red velvet cake, and collard greens, the restaurant built into the National Museum of African American History and Culture slings its own version of the half-smoke. The only downside? The only way to experience the distinctly D.C. meal involves securing a ticket to the insanely busy museum." - Eater Staff
