This was my first time at this establishment. I’ve been told this fish is good so I ordered the fried catfish with greens and grits. I don’t eat cheese so they gave me grits without cheese flavored with Crab meat (I think). Everything had a good taste and the good came out hot. Someone else in my party ordered the fried chicken and said it was very good. It looked good and I’d try it the next time. The staff were friendly and professional.

Perfect place for lunch. It can get bit loud, but it’s because everyone enjoys it here. We really liked ordering through the app. QR codes are on the tables. You get text updates when the food is coming and you can pay anytime through the app as well. Also you can purchase books through the app, quite a good selection, and displayed art is curated to perfection.

Fun menu, on the pricier side.

I decided to take the star away from service and not food because it was for the preparation of the Bloody Mary I received. It tasted fine (my Bloody Mary experience being somewhat limited), but it has only a straw sticking out of it, and was without the most basic celery stick or lemon wedge.

The atmosphere was decent and so was the food. Nothing spectacular but more so a cool hang out spot to chill with friends. Overall a good experience.

The chicken here is halal. I tried the chicken fried sandwich. The sandwich was okay, a bit pricey in my opinion for $16. The chicken had a crunch to it but overall the sandwich lacked flavor, it was dry. The bun was toasted which was good. Overall, the sandwich needs more sauce to it give it some flavor.

This was an unexpectedly amazing experience. Great atmosphere sitting outside. Amazing service and the food was straight fire! Highly recommend the fried catfish with grits and collard’s. Mimosas were great too. One of the better Busboy locations I’ve frequented.

I’ve been going to Busboys in DC since 2011. I LOVE the brand, the food options and the vibes. The beauty of Busboys is you can go for any occasion including solo date meals. I moved to Baltimore earlier this year and was excited to see my favorite restaurant is less than 10 minutes from my house. The handful of times I have gone or ordered from the restaurant, I’ve been left disappointed. I’ve expressed my concerns directly to the restaurant (received no response). Some of my concers have been staff who seem inconvenienced by your presence, slow service, and incorrect orders. Given the multitude of eateries in Baltimore, I’m hesitant to continue patronizing this restaurant. It’s like that person you keep going back to despite the fact they consistently show you that you don’t matter. My rating is influenced by my overall experience with Busboys but I can’t say I would recommend this location.

The bread pudding and ice cream was great! The vegan tuna sandwich was very filling and tasted delicious. Everyone was happy with their meals. The fried chicken was moist with great flavor and crunch. The greens were well spiced with great flavor. The food non vegetarian to vegetarian was spot on! We will be back.
