Enter through the USDA wing 3 entrance. Show your drivers license / ID to get visitor badge and go through metal detector. Food court style food. Gets busy right at noon. Food quality was what you’d expect for a food court / buffet. Buffet was $0.59 per ounce. Plenty of seating options for groups. Gluten free options with an Açaí bowl (with oats) and sushi.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options with an Açaí bowl (with oats) and sushi.

It was mostly vegetable in it. It was also served on a dinner roll rather than the French roll shown.
