We love the name and the food at this restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. Busboys and Poets serves breakfast (Monday to Friday; try the sweet potato pancakes), lunch and dinner in a café that also sells books (hence the name).

Hours
Located in the Village of Shirlington, it’s open 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, remaining open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. There’s also a location in Washington, D.C. proper.
