Wow the selection and variety is amazing here! Hard to choose but if you are into vegetarian food this place does it right! Second time I have been here and each time the food was excellent. Will be back again for sure.

I struggled between a 3 star and 4 star rating for here. I came here because 1) I wanted unique food I wouldn't find anywhere else, and 2) Multiple reviews said this was a good place for kids to eat. They definitely have unique food. I got the buffalo chili over fried bread. It was good, not great. My kids got the buffalo burgers, they seemed to like them a lot. The price point is what threw me... for a quick service restaurant. Three buffalo cheeseburgers, and the chili over fried bread, a milk, and a banana (no drinks, we got waters)... it came to 76. Pretty steep pricing for what it was in my opinion.

Ask for "a plate full of colors": for 16 you can choose 4 different side dishes from any of the counters and basically make your own tasting menu. As others have pointed out, burgers –and entrees in general– are overpriced (as you'd expect from a museum cafe). Fun fact: Mitsitam means "let's eat".

Cafeteria style eatery featuring Native American foods like fry bread tacos with bison chili, bison burgers, plantain and chicken stew, and guacamole. Interesting selection of pasteries. Don't worry, your kids can still get chicken fingers and a brownie. The prices are a little high, but the quality is good and the museum is free. Very busy at lunch time. Lots of seating. Return tray at exit.

Museum food is always going to cost more than food made at home or even at some restaurants. The difference between the Mitsitam's food and other museum food is, I think, that of quality. I think it's just a TAD better than most museum food one finds on the Mall. Also, I have been, on and off, a member of the museum and that gives you a discount.

You most try the wild boar. It’s very tasty with a fair price. Impressive for a cafe in a museum

I'm afraid I waited too long to visit this cafe. It sounds like the menu is less adventurous now and more like mainstream fast food. I got the Indian Taco which was a like of chili, lettuce, and tomatoes on top of a round piece of fried bread. It tasted great but probably not worth 15. Other options were even more expensive! If you do eat here, order anything with the fried bread. It's delicious. If you want to eat elsewhere, Air and Space is overpriced but has cheaper items and is nearby. I recommend not eating at museums but if you really have to, try to plan your day so you wind up near the National Museum of African American History. That cafe is worth the price. On weekdays, you can find a few places South of Independence Ave. On all days you can find many more places near Gallery Place.

Great place for relatable authentic food. Nice, relaxing area for a cafeteria style restaurant. Kid friendly. Six year old assures me that this food was available for Native Americans.
