Since 2005, Busboys and Poets has been a comfortable place to gather, relax, discuss politics and enjoy a great meal. With politically inspired artwork throughout the restaurant and performances by artists and poets on the restaurant's stage, there's always entertainment with lunch or dinner. Busboys and Poets is named after Langston Hughes, a poet who became popular in the 1920s after working as a busboy. The menu at Busboys and Poets serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. There is also a great selection of coffee, tea and other beverages. The bar offers numerous cocktails, beers and wines in the evening. Guests can rest assured that many of the menu selections, including beverages, are created with fresh, local and sustainable ingredients. Numerous gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options ensures everyone can find something tasty. Top off the evening with a slice of key lime pie or vegan cheesecake.
