Great Food, hadrinks a big party. The wait wasn't long to be seated. Just some of the people in our party had to wait a long time for their food. I would go back because of the food. The host was nice. I like the atmosphere.

I tried Busboys and Poets on Wednesday. I was looking for some place new to eat and found it just down the street in Hyatsville. The facility is very nice, open and airy. All the staff were friendly and professional. There is a bit of a theme to it that some may not like but don't let it affect you the food was very good. I found the food as I said to be very good, the service very good also. I think it is a decent value, not cheap but not outrageous either. I would recommend going there.

The service was a problem...waitress came n disappeared. Someone else took over quite a while later...original waitress returned after salads and drinks served. She was pleasant but something was definitely off. Food was great! First time visiting...wish we could have come when there was poetry being performed...next time.
