Fife and Drum

First time eating here even though we are local. Was a pleasant surprise to learn the restaurant also serves adult beverages from an attached bar. Had a nice flame broiled burger with fresh toasted wheat bun. Menu is mostly burgers and sandwiches. Attentive server and reasonable wait time for the burgers. I’d eat lunch here again.

This place wasn’t busy on graduation. Service was pretty okay. The food was whatever. All the burgers were the same, but the only difference is the meat quantity. So, pick and choose. I added bacon my burger. Mayonnaise and mustard is on the side. The French fries were really salty and I don’t think I’ve ever said that before ahha. The burger description sounds bland and it was ahha. I just put ketchup on it and ate it. The 2 6 oz. is really big, so order it if youre really hungry. I ordered my burger to be cooked medium rare, but it was well done. I was so hungry from walking around the museum that I didn’t care. I would definitely try to eat somewhere else. I say this because I was super hungry and I still thought the food was whatever. Usually, any food is good when im super hungry. I dont think this place was overpriced at all. Its a dine in restaurant in a museum. the burgers were around $ 10. The 3 6oz. burger was around $ 13. The prices are cheap for a restaurant in an attraction site.

We thought we’d save time by coming here since we were passing through the area and wanted to go to the museum. Server was friendly but food took forever. We got 3 burgers And a sandwich. The restaurant had maybe 3 tables occupied (bad sign of course). I could see in the kitchen and cooks weren’t in any hurry at all. Food was very overpriced for what you get. It was edible, but nothing special and had very little flavor. Definitely took away from our very good experience touring the museum.

Service in this place was close to ZERO. It is a shame as the Infantry Museum where the restaurant is located was 1^st class.
–Getting seated took forever.
–Getting food took forever.
–Getting bill settled took forever & a day!
(all this wait was with not that many customers!)
To top this off, I left my credit card there by mistake and when I called, the person said they could shred it up but could not mail it to me (out of town) as the girl said «it was against the law to mail a credit card». I never heard of this law — I’m thinking they were just too lazy to drop it in the mail. I had to cancel card & reassign a bunch of re-​occurring payments to the new card (my fault for leaving the card to begin with). Anyway, I plan to go back to the museum but NEVER to this restaurant.

Food was average at best. Long wait… empty restaurant. Took three tries and they still could not figure out how to make a hot cup of coffee. Charged too many items on the original bill. Server was nice enough but sub-​par overall experience.

We go here all the time and get the wings, french fries and occasionally the BLT. The staff has always been super friendly to us. The restaurant is super clean! You will have your days when the place is really busy when the soldiers graduate or have family day. Other then that it’s a relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend the Doug’s Sweet Heat wings.

A restaurant reasonably priced for the nearby attractions. Large burgers, good wings, and dessert. Eat before or after a walk through the connected museum. I MAX theater is on site with a few showings. There is a bar … Although I didn’t stop there. All in all good expenditure as a means to support the museum.

We ate at the restaurant after a trip to the museum. The food was really good, especially the Benning
Burger. At first we started to leave because a large group was coming in. We were afraid of the wait time. All went well and we were in and out in a reasonable time. Service was good considering the crowd. The Chili Cheese Fries were huge! They were a meal in them selves. Will eat here again when we have reason to be back on post.

It’s not horrible for a restaurant in a museum. I’ve been to a few, and some are just out right bad. This wasn’t a 5 star meal but it was pretty good. Most of my family ordered the burger. Cheese burger to be precise. It was pretty good … if you mess up a burger we are in big trouble. The fries were actually really good, I kept stealing my sisters, since I didn’t get any with my dish. I had gotten the coleslaw which was A-​Ok. I got the flank steak burger which was pretty good. A bit messy and the juice from the steak makes the bread a bit soft, so I ended up finished just the steak. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here, but if I was visiting the museum, which I highly recommend, and you are hungry, stop in for a quick bite to eat and enjoy your day at the museum.

No. No. No. If you had a spectacular time at the national infantry museum like I did, dont ruin it with a meal here. I thought it would be good since the museum that it’s located in is amazing but alas, it is not. I got the fish tacos which were just ok but they had enough napa cabbage on it for double the amount of tacos given. I didnt even know napa cabbage went in fish tacos! My bf got the cheeseburger and chili cheese fries which were decent but def not worth about $ 9 & $ 7 respectively. Overall just really overpriced for an average quality meal in an otherwise amazing establishment.

My family and I went to visit the infantry museum and decided to have lunch. The hostess was nowhere to be found so I guess a manager sat us. Our waitress was polite but as the lunch went on she seemed to lose interest in serving us. Both my children had the kids chicken fingers, my husband had a grilled chicken Caesar salad, and I got a blt. We waited for like 20 mins to get our food and I could see our food sitting in the kitchen for 10 mins. My husband said his salad was ok and my kids were seemingly satisfied. I on the other hand was not impressed. They took the easiest thing in the world to make and messed it up. There was no mayo and the bun was burnt. The waitress seemed annoyed when I asked for mayo and brought me one pack which might have been ok if it wasn’t so dry and she seemed more annoyed when I asked for another. I ate about half and then quit. The meal was definitely not worth $ 50 some odd dollars we spent. We will not be going back.

Service was below average. We love the NIM; however, we took in lunch after a graduation and exploring the museum. Took this restaurant over 30 minutes to seat us on a very slow day. Then, after ordering it took us over 45 minutes to get our food. It was luke warm at best. Our waitress tried to serve our food, but the manager refused to let her serve our food for some reason. The manager of this restaurant has some issues and until she’s gone; don’t bother. The food was average too.

Ambiance is cool, chill, relax. There is a tremendous shortage on waitstaff, only 3 servers on a Friday– (Basic Training graduation day at a national infantry museum?) The bistro is equipped with a full bar and child friendly atmosphere. The bar is separate from the eating area in a romantic yet modern-​themed, dimly lit area. All food is prepared by chefs, it’s a dining experience with style, and for that, I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Special of the day, Flank steak sandwich atop the aromatic, crunchy & well presented tomato & basil ciabatta bread complimented by seasonal arugula. Finishing touches to the sandwich were accompanied by sauteed portobello mushrooms with caramelized onions melted in with swiss cheese. The final touch included a hint of spice in a basil vinaigrette sauce that really set things off! The sandwhich came with a side of crinkle cut fries which were you average expectation of fried fare, except these guys had seasoning added on. Not a great thing, but not terrible either. The kids had a Mac & Cheese dish with a side of fries– I think it was Kraft, because it certainly wasn’t homemade. The order included 3 slices of granny smith apples, minus the caramel dip. For the price it cost me to feed the 3 of us, I will be back again. My meal was 9.95, & with the kids order, I paid less than 15 $ for a great experience! Check them out sometime– there was plenty on the dessert menu, but I was beyond full from the sandwich. Some of the dessert offered was buttermilk pie, cheesecake, fried donuts, and ricotta pie. Lots of choices and views!
