Stopped in while at the museum. I was very impressed with the braised pork. It came with sides I got the coconut rice & okra as well as the curry chickpeas. My partner got the spinach and rice along with sweet potato pie.
The pork is excellent, a bit greasy and the okra rice has mild coconut flavor that goes great with the pork. The curry chickpeas are full of flavor. The spinach is a bit slimy but tasted okay and the sweet potato pie was good too.
Overall solid—about $25/plates after drinks.

The chicken dinner was delicious! The collards greens was a little sweet for my taste, but, didn't slow me down. Best cafe of the Smithsonian museums. As a side note, anywhere you eat in the tourist area is expensive. I got a small ice cream cone from a food truck on the street and it was 7$. That, was overpriced!
What a way to end the African American Smithsonian experience!!! The Sweet Home Cafe was such a delight and a sweet welcome surprise. Their customer service was absolutely amazing. The food looked and tasted soooo good. The chicken and fish were golden brown. The ribs looked scrumptious. I mean everything looked so tantalizing. I had two helping of collard greens, green beans and cornbread. It was such a great way to appreciate the art of soul food.
