Wow, I got the ham salad sandwich and it was terrific! LOADED with ham salad, and there was a bar to add pickles, tomatoes, lettuce and other goodies. Daughter loved her tuna salad sandwich meal, and hubby his pizza. Great options!

I never thought I'd find myself reviewing a museum cafe, but here we are cuz the place was surprisingly yummy! Lots of offerings - truly something for everyone - and very reasonably priced considering they're the only option if you want a snack or lunch. Service was really stellar, too

This place you have to go to when you visit the Foundation! They will always have someone who is available to assist you and you are never kept waiting. The food is always fresh and their grilled items are very delightful. Families and friends don't forget to stop by this cafe for any of your lunch needs and be sure that they will have something on their menu to please your appetite.

For a place with do many food options, you can't find a thing that isn't delicious on the menu! I tried the Brunswick stew and chicken tenders with fries. It was all really good! The staff are also super friendly and kind and will carry on a conversation if you're okay with that.

The thought and expertise put into putting this museum together is outstanding. Multi dimensonicial, multi screen video presentations are not to be missed. Great exhibition of artifacts. Start at the first room and progress chronologically. The outside exhibition of the Indian village and Jamestown settlement are supplemented by period costumed, knowledgeable reinactors. Outside, on the water of the replicas of the three ships that brought the settlers to the American shore. All guides answer all your questions. Highlight of my seven day visit.

The food was excellent! The grill was about to close at 4:00 PM and the chefs cooked up a feast for us. I am amazed that the prices are still reasonable in the wake of skyrocketing food prices due to supply chain shortages since the museum has a captive audience. This normally means outrageous prices similar to what you would experience in a airport while traveling. Between the (11) people, we pretty much had everything from burgers, Eastern NC style BBQ, fried fish, and pizza for about $103. That’s a little under $10 a person for those keeping score. That’s with no drinks. I would come here just to eat if I was in the area. Well done JS Cafe!!

We were able to talk to the presenters and ask questions because of low attendance, probably due to the time of year. The outdoor exhibits are fun and interactive, and the exhibition halls inside are so informative. The staff was also personable and helpful too. We were in the halls indoors for a couple of hours and no lines or crowds at all, so it felt like we had the galleries to ourselves. We still didn't read everything even with no waiting. This is a wonderful place to visit and learn about American history.

I really enjoyed my cheeseburger. They have a great condiment bar where you can choose your own toppings. Ordering is cafeteria style, and made to order while you wait. Lots of options from sandwiches, burgers, fish, pizza, quesadillas to salads.
