Awesome food!!!!! Waited a while to be seated (about 30 minutes) even though they said 15 to 20 min. Service was good; food was incredible! Will definitely return!

Busboys and Poets is a no go for me on the weekends. I was there in a Saturday only because I was meeting friends. Shrimp and grits should be offered as a menu option on the weekends during brunch! 😡 That is my favorite at Busboys.

A special place for sure. Food and service were too notch. Cauliflower frittata highly recommended. I wish I could have gone a second time while visiting but trip was too short. The vibe is friendly and diverse with a dollop of culture. I will return!
