Reviews for Busboys And Poets in Arlington, VA
Fun vibe (book store, pretty art), good variety of brunch food and drinks. Staff was fairly attentive, though could have checked... in a bit more throughout the meal. It's not a cheap brunch, especially if you're doing drinks, but it's very filling and tasty.There is parking in a garage across the street (free, time limited) as well as limited street parking in the neighborhood. Wouldreturn. Read more
It?s been over decade since I?ve been to this chain in DC and it was not bad. Honestly, I would not order the same meal (veggie... bowl) because it was okay but great. I think I would done a sandwich instead. Loved the non alcoholic drinks though. I got theself care one. Vibe - it was a standard busy restaurant with a bookstore in the corner. The bathroom hallway was super sticky. Iwould recommend to mop the floor because it was not a pleasant experience for customers. Overall, it was okay for a bit to eat. Read more
Came for the books. Stayed for the great food. Word of advice: whatever you see that you want to try, try it. Everything I... tasted was good. Burger, shrimp, catfish, grits... all of it was good. And the bookstore is a cozy spot that has a really goodselection. Read more
Great brunch experience with quality mimosas and Irish coffee. They know how to make ?em. The menu had some good looking choices... that made me want to go back, too. The grilled chicken panini is ?the best sandwich ever, with a perfect amount of sauce andperfectly grilled chicken? from my brunch compatriot. Read more
The wait was quick and they whipped up 2 smaller tables to accommodate our large party. The vibe would be a cafe within we a... bookstore Instead of a burger we had all starters. Hummus, crab/shrimp balls, buffalo wings, crispy cauliflower bites & crispyBrussel sprouts. Read more
Love that it?s dog friendly!! There was no wait when we got there for dinner. I ordered shrimp and chicken pasta and it was... delicious, huge shrimps and big chunks of chicken, so creamy! My husband got the burger and he loved it! It was happy hour so wegot some drinks! Mojito was refreshing! He got a mango beer and I ended up ordering one for me! Read more
I was recommended this restaurant and it did not disappoint. My wife and I decided to give it a try this past Sunday for brunch... and we were in for an amazing experience. My wife got the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. I order the blackened salmonand it was cooked to perfection. The salmon came with wild rice but with it being brunch hours I ordered an extra side of crabgrits; I was so glad I did because the taste of the grits were amazing too. The service was great too. My wife added us to thewait list while we were on our way there. When we arrived we were seated immediately. I have heard of this place before, butnever been. The entire feel of the restaurant is simply amazing. From the customer service to the music and of course thefood.... I definitely recommend this place without question. Read more
Loved all the items we ordered. Good brunch place with lot of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. When you enter,... you are greeted by a small book shop and then you can see the seating area. We started with mimosas and ordered food. Avocadopanini was my favourite. Fresh and delicious. Wild rice, grilled cheese toast and French toast were also savouring. Read more
