Reviews and Ratings
Write a reviewWe loved it here! It was just a really great experience and you can tell it's very intentional. The seating is family style so you are probably going to sit with some strangers and make friends, but I think that's the whole point. Don't forget to step out and go to the historical exhibit right outside. It's powerful and it ties the entire experience together.

Had the fried chicken, greens, mac n cheese, sweet cornbread, and walnut marble pound cake. Everything was on point. Great finish to an amazing visit to the African American Museum.
I am obsessed with Carrot Cake and there’s was delicious. I was so mad that I had just eaten lunch because everything here looked so delicious! I will definitely be coming back to get more food some day. You could probably spend a whole day tasting everything here...
