If it’s not the bad service, it’s always the bad food presentation. French toast at busboys I sure do enjoy burnt food.

My wife and i were visiting the area and wanted some local ambiance. This place was outstanding in its food and atmosphere. Enjoyed a tasty lentil soup, and a scrumotious chocolate cake, which was so light and airy.

I did not give a tip. Tips are for service. After a long ignored wait I had to flag a manager down to place my order. Got my order in but that did nothing to improve service. Water ran out and no one to fill it. Had to walk to the bar and have bartender make my drink. My daughter was with me which was her first time. She asked that we never go back. I’ll take her to the Hyattsville location next time.

The comic genius show most recently had a Comedy Game night for Fathers Day. Sold Out! I enjoyed a new experience. Same quality of food and service. Loved the location, too.

Meat was raw. I asked for no cheese. They put double cheese..I took pictures b/c it was so raw..for 18$ I shouldn't have to re cook my burger.Thankfully I was at a hotel with a kitchen.

Went on a Saturday at 3 pm. We had 3 waitresses in 2 hours. One told us she was leaving and pointed out her replacement, who never came over. We had to find her. The food was horrible. I ordered the avocado with red peppers panini. I got the thinnest pieces of avocado with tasteless aioli on wheat toast. The cheese tasted like rubber. That was not a panini. It came with a shriveled up tiny pickle that should not even have been put on the plate. My dining companion ordered a burger. Our food was delivered separately, so we didn’t start eating together.
When we were ready to pay, the waitress, she couldn’t get the machine she had to work. She said she would be right back. 10 minutes later we were still waiting and saw her continuing to serve other tables and check them out.
The final straw was that we both ordered to go items which we were not ready when we paid the bill, although we had been there almost two hours. They finally brought my to go item and I left my friend there still waiting. ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️.
We will not be returning. A failure on every level.

Had the shrimp chicken chorizo pasta and a latte. The pasta was great other than my super overcooked shrimp. My iced caramel latte was super watery and warm, when I asked to replace it with a hot latte it was worse with very minimal milk. Super watery. Waiter did not bring out birthday girls dish until 20 minutes after we all got our food. Hoping to have a better experience next time, if I ever come back

Food was pretty good but portion was super small. Service was ABSOLUTELY POOR. I was pissed that I was about to leave. I ate at the bar.

Bartenders were there but they didn’t acknowledge me for quite some time. I recently had the blackened mahi mahi with family members a few weeks ago and I came back to eat the same dish again. This time my mahi mahi was 1/2 the size of the one that I had the first time. The inferno wings were good but expensive.

The atmosphere is always nice at this establishment. There was a TED talk going on too. I’m not sure that I’ll give this location another shot.
