American Sector

Now, when you visit the National WWII Museum, chances are you will definitely spend the entire day.  In fact, you'll probably camp out on the lawn, ready to start again the following morning.  So surely you will be hungry before, after, or during all of this excitement.  But never fear!  You can satisfy your appetite and still never leave the premises. 

The American Sector is serving up lunch and dinner for all of the museum guests, plus for the folks who just come because the food is THAT good!  With a flavor-packed menu to offer diners just about anything they might be in the mood for, this place is just about as popular as the museum itself.

With soups and salads that can be meals in their own right, patrons may choose between the Gumbo and Caesar or Cobb salads.  The Fried Gulf Oyster Salad seems to be a favorite... always made fresh. 

The lunch menu also offers a selection of Flatbreads, ranging from Duck Confit to House-Smoked Salmon.  With sandwiches like the Gulf Shrimp Po-Boy and the Grilled Barbeque Chicken, any palette can be tempted. 

But where the American Sector truly excels is with their burgers.  Deliciously seasoned and grilled to perfection, the options include the Victory, the Smoke House, the Blackened Blue, and the White Bean.  Served with a basket of crispy fries, these HAVE to be some of the city's best. 

And if you're around for dinner, expect some of the favorites off the lunch menu, along with entrees like Black Pepper Encrusted Ribeye, Shrimp 'N' Grits, and Bacon Braised Duck.
