Food was excellent! Service top tier. I can't remember the server's name. Beautiful young lady who was so helpful. She was wearing a neon green headscarf. The atmosphere was a nice vibe. I would definitely go back to this location.

I had a great time at Busboys and Poets with my wife and another couple on a double date. I hadn’t been here in years, and only for brunch, so dinner was a new experience for me. They offer a large selection of vegan dishes, and while I’m not vegan, I do enjoy the occasional break from eating a lot of meat.
I won’t go into detail about each item, but everything we had was on point and absolutely delicious. The only downside was the slow service. Our waitress...

Not a bad place. Workers are super friendly. I appreciated the service.
This place is interesting. I don’t necessarily know what it is, but it tries to be a lot of different things.
A bookstore, a breakfast shop, lunch joint.
It’s definitely casual and lounge around, not in and out, but it can be.
