Busboys And Poets Shirlington

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 salmon and it was cooked to perfection. The salmon came with wild rice but with it being brunch hours I ordered an extra side of crab grits; I was so glad I did because the taste of the grits were amazing too. The service wasgreat too. My wife added us to the wait list while we were on our way there. When we arrived we were seated immediately. I have heard of this place before, but never been. The entire feel of the restaurant is simply amazing. From thecustomer service to the music and of course the food.... I definitely recommend this place without question.

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 we got some drinks! Mojito was refreshing! He got a mango beer and I ended up ordering one for me!

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 crispy Brussel sprouts.

Turkey burger was delicious, the vanilla ice cream was so creamy one of the best Ive had, and it paired amazingly with the apple pie which itself was yummy. Perfect all around!

Grilled cheese paninis were great. We ordered one with bbq sauce as an upcharge but it didnt taste like it there was much on the sandwich.
