Reviews for Busboys and Poets

With several locations in the DMV, Busboys is a reliable spot for good food and down to earth vibes. In addition to tasty appetizers (crab and shrimp bites, firecracker shrimp, crispy fried cauliflower) and good great entrees (I like the crab cakes best, pictured), they also have a pretty decent vegan menu. Makes it easy for a group with different tastes and diets to all enjoy the meal.
The food is delicious but does not blow your mind, however the atmosphere is amazing so the whole experience is great! We had the omelets, mine was Oaxaca omelet, French toast, fruits, coffee, a great way to start a day. I could be here just drinking coffee and designing. This place allows your creativity flows. Yes I will recommend you to come, eat and live the experience, either if you are local or tourist. Vegetarian options: If you are vegetarian but not vegan, which is great! ???? Kid-friendliness: Everybody is very kind Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Large portions for shared plates, and even larger portions for entrees. This place does not lack in the flavor department, and the desert menu had this delicious chocolate cake that really tasted like that frosting was made in house. Perfect place for a date, and the service is really nice to! 10/10 would go back again ????
