Loved the atmosphere and the food choices was pretty diverse. Big Noisey place but also cozy at the same time. Wait staff was terrific and prices were great for Washington.

Comfy bohemian decor and amazing vegan cuisine. I didn't know this place existed until a friend took us here on a double date. I love everything about this place.
As a Washingtion DC resident I can honestly tell you that this is one of the best places to eat. I have been several times and it never disappoints. The crab shrimp balls are a must, the salmon is amazing. I have been with small and large groups and everyone always enjoys there meals. I cant say enough about this...

Met up with friends and had a lovely dinner there. The food we all ordered was yummy. Of course, we all got sandwiches and fries which is hard to mess up, but the sandwiches were unique and done well. There sweet potato fries were on the sweeter side- in a good way. They have a decent beer selection as well...

I had the spinach and chicken pizza and chose the olive oil and garlic 'sauce'. It was delicious. My husband had the reuben, it was huge and just as tasty. The coffee there is wonderful -...

I love Busboys for their laid back atmosphere, friendly service, and great veggie options. This place is always crowded, which is probably why they do not take reservations. I love the veggie burger and the veggie quesadilla. The food here is best described as gourmet bar food. It's way too loud for a romantic date night, but perfect for friends...

Second time eating at Busboys and Poets. Will definitely return. Must try the Shrimp and Grits along with a Crab Cake if you are a seafood person. Plate full of food and absolutely delicious! This was our treat after packing up my college student from her dorm room. We ate so much that we had to ask for a box...

I ate here while on a work trip. It was a nice day so I opted to sit on the large patio. It took a while for the server to acknowledge my presence and to come over to my table. I ordered the falafel sandwich and sweet potato fries. The pocket was good, but it came with what they called...
