I’m so happy we found this place! We were nearby and decided to find breakfast. When we walked in, we were greeted by 2 women and seated immediately. Our server was at the table to take our drink orders right away. The drinks were great – I had the Busboys Sangria. For brunch, I ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. This was soooo good! I cleaned my plate and can’t wait to go back.

I come here to get black authored books and for the entertainment, though they also serve amazing food. Check their website for their Karaoke nights and other fun events you’ll be happy to participate in. Parking can be hard to find on busy days so it might be easier to ride-share or use public transport if it’s possible. Don’t forget to support in any way you can – these folks have been the heartbeat of black art and food for years.

A beautiful day ( May 13), walked to the restaurant, sat outside, watched people, buses, grads, and animals! Ordered the Quinoa Kaleb Fresh Salad, water with lime, and it was so delicious! Staff was super! Full belly! Loved it!

This is honestly one of the best busboys and poets locations I’ve been too. Very clean, all of the staff is super attentive and the manager is hands on and not just sitting in the back.

Had a great time here for Saturday brunch. Menu has a lot of options at a good price, their lattes were also really good. Service could be a little better, we waited an extended amount of time for our food, but the manager quickly resolved the issue!

Really enjoyed the food at this Busboys and Poets location. My friend and I had the shrimp and grits, the lamb burger and for dessert, chocolate cake. The food was made with fresh ingredients, seasoned well and tasted great. The wait staff were attentive and helpful. The restaurant was busy at the time we visited but we did not wait long to be seated or served. We ate indoors but there is Lots of outdoor seating as well.

I have been three times with friends, and each time we have been seated then completely forgotten about. Took 30+ mins to even get water. We had to flag down a waiter to place our order for food, and then our order was made wrong. Overall took us over two hours for what was supposed to be a quick dinner.
