Library of Congress: the cafeteria on the 6th floor of the Madison Buidling
Air & Space Museum: there's a large McDonald's at the museum
Museum of Natural History: their cafeteria
Museum of American History: their cafeteria
Smithsonian Castle: there's a small coffee bar there
National Archives: Walk up 7th Street and you'll find a range of restaurants
Postal Museum: Walk next door to Union Station. Try "America" on the main level or go down the escalators into the food court.

Old Ebbitt's near the White House and Natural History Museum.
We, The Pizza near the Library of Congress.
Rasika, The Source, Del Campo, Zaytinya, or Luke's Lobster near Archives.
There are also Teaism locations near the White House and Archives if you want something lighter or if you feel the need to drink the best chai tea you'll ever have.
Those are what I'd consider your best bets but there are a ton of good places to eat in DC depending on what you want and how much money and time you want to spend.
America and Zola are both closed.

OMG my favourite place to eat is CheeseCakeFactory in Friendship Heights, its located in Chevy Chase Pavilion, I just love that place, I love their seafood and their chicken and guess what ?????? Their CAKES :)
Ok if you want to eat in a healthy but not in formal dining place, then try Panera Bread Franchise which is located in so many places around DC and the states surrounding DC like Maryland and Virginia. Those two states are connected to DC by the same metro line, but of course you have to change stations sometimes.
I also like Nandos. If you are going to DC then you can also visit Maryland and Virginia as well, there are nice areas in Virginia like Alexandria and they have a nice Mediterranean market which has a restaurant inside.

Its a place I tried in the Adams Morgan area called Negril if you're into Jamaican/Carribean food. It was so good and you'll definitely get your monies with. My plate had to weigh at least 3lbs. I can't wait to get back to DC. That's going to be my first stop!lol
