My two faves by far are the food courts in the basement of Union Station
and in the Old Post Office Pavillion. The latter is obviously closest to 
the mall.

If you are a Smithsonian Associate, go for one of their dining rooms. I've only
been to the one in the Castle. Plenty of good, hearty buffet-type food including
desserts. There is another associate's dining room, but I can't remember where.

The Old Ebbit Grill is not too bad to hoof to, especially if you are in the area of
the White House. Anyway, your efforts to get there will be well rewarded, I
promise.
