The House Dining Operations

Members Dining Room is a sit-down restaurant for House members and their guests only. It offers a standard menu (including the famous House Bean Soup) and weekly specials that include themed selections from each of the 50 states on a rotating basis. For example, a recent menu celebrating Georgia included Georgia Peanut Soup; Double-Cut Pork Chop with Sweet Potato, White Bean and Vidalia Onion Ragout and Peach-Ginger Chutney; and Georgia Peach Cobbler.

Capitol Market, located in the basement of the U.S. Capitol, offers a couple of daily entree selections and sides as well as soups (the House White Bean Soup is on the menu every day), specialty salads and sandwiches.

Longworth Café is a full-sized food court type dining venue. It features a range of selections from barbecue and made-to-order gourmet wraps to sizzling salads and a rotating international selection highlighting a different cuisine each day from a list of 20 countries. Longworth Café is also a favorite meeting spot where members, staffers and interested parties can discuss matters over Fair Trade coffee and specialty “mini-desserts”.

The Creamery specializes in hand-dipped locally produced ice cream treats, fresh-from-the-oven desserts and Starbucks coffees — as well as locally made artisan candy.

Goodie's, located next to the Creamery, is a snack shop featuring candies, beverages and packaged snacks.

Rayburn Café is a favorite with visitors. It features a circular serving area producing noodle bowls, specialty sandwiches, American Melts, a carvery with different sliced meats each day and a rotating action station that serves various ethnic dishes, from tacqueria to teriyaki.

Rayburn Deli offers hot-pressed and customized deli sandwiches, salads, flatbreads, specialty sausages along with Starbucks Fair Trade coffees and frozen yogurt treats highlight this quick meal stop.
