Reviews for Busboys and Poets in 450 K St NW, WA
The food we did get? was good. We came with a party of 9. It was a slow night for them, but yet the service was very poor. One... person in our party never got their food. We mentioned it to them more than once and they assured us it was on the way. Ourparty waited a while and decided to eat without them, as we had plans. We all finished our food and they never got theirs. Wethen ordered it to go. Lots of attitude from the staff when we said we?d pay for the food we actually got. Read more
My vegan burger was very chewy and was sticking on the teeth. The pomegranate lemonade was good. Other items on the menu look... interesting so will give another visit. The servers are polite and friendly and the ambiance is very chic and vibrant, bothinside and outside. 5/5 on sustainability as they didn?t use any single use items. Read more
Absolutely amazing spot!!!! The service was incredible. The good was amazing!!! Catfish entree with Jalapeño grits and... collards......A MUST! Sweet potato pancakes......A MUST! The lattes are pretty tasty. The ambience and music were really cool.The most shoebox thing is being able to read and so for books in the same space. I can't wait to come back. Read more

I absolutely loved it here! I loved how the staff were just having a good time and jamming out to music while working. The girl... behind the bar was living her best life with the music. The whole place has a fantastic vibe and great food. We came for brunchbut I'm sure dinner is just as great! Read more
My group is visiting from Ohio for a conference. The restaurant is pleasingly eclectic in its decor. The atmosphere was quaint.... The server was pleasant and smile with authenticity as she assisted the three of us. The food was served hot and was pleasingplated. The taste of the good was amazing. The seasoning of the catfish, greens and cheddar and jalapeño grits was perfect. Icould eat here every day. Read more
Boyfriend and I were looking for breakfast to eat and we choose to go here. Very unique atmosphere. Love how they incorporated... the bookstore & dinning together. Although the service we got was not what we expected. We order our drinks then later orderedour entrées. We get our food and both of our food was lukewarm and my fries was COLD (didn?t eat it). In addition, our servernever checked on how we are doing and gave us what we requested which was just sugar for our coffee. Manager was walking arounddoing table touches and we never got touched. Our server then asked ?how was everything? after we put our plate aside anddecided enough is enough. Maybe if we come back it?ll be different but being our FIRST time eating there, we won?t come back. Soif you?re looking for good food with good service this won?t be it or maybe it?ll be different. Who knows. Read more
As soon as you step foot inside the restaurant you are captured by the design and layout. The books that they have out for... display are very interesting. Then, you have the food. I only had the shrimp and grits, but the other meals caught my attentionso much that I need to go back. Read more
