Busy Bee Cafe has arrived! Ate dinner with my GF this week and LOVED it! The beer selection was awesome! Not a bulky menu of beers that noone orders but well thought out. The food was great, I had the fish tacos, and she had a burger. The fish tacos were huge, and served with all the fixins, and her burger was the best she has had in town. The bartender was knowledgeable and server was fast and friendly! My favorite place in town!
Don't waste your money going to this place If you enjoy a drink, DO NOT go to Busy Bee. They serve drinks until 2:00 am and then kick you out at 2:07 am before you are finished with the drink you just paid for 7 minutes before. My friend and I like to sip on our drinks so at 2:11am, the bouncers were carrying us down the stairs. I couldn't believe what went on. I'm 28 and have NEVER had such a problem anywhere.
Rough I didn't go to busy bee last night expecting a fine dining experience, but what I actually got was appalling. After heading upstairs, we asked if there was a table available outside. A server said yes, and led us outside, where he told us to stand with another party who clearly had received the same treatment. He offered to let us order drinks, and after showing us a beer list told us that nothing on the list was actually available on the second floor. Which begs the question, if you're going to micromanage your menu l... read more
BUSY Busy Bee I have eaten at the Bee several times now and am in love. Finally, a casual restaurant downtown that employs a CHEF! The food is great and "healthy" with local ingredients. The beer selection is great, approachable not snobby. Wine list is small but appealing and they even serve espresso drinks with dinner! The staff was attentive not overbearing and the manager stopped by to check out the temps on our burgers. Its nice to see a manager interacting with the staff and guests! I will definitely be back! Welcome D... read more
Excellent Food!!! I ate there this week and it was amazing. The atmosphere, food, service and overall experience was quite a nice surprise. We will most certainly be back soon!
Bad service The service here was terrible and this was my first experience. We didn't get service for about 20 minutes after several waiters passed us by. I flagged someone down to request service...once our orders were taken the food came out in decent time. After having to flag another waiter down (as my cup was empty for a while) for service after our food was delivered I then decided to complain. We got half off our bill. The food was actually good however customer service was less than. Would not recommend due to terrib... read more
I had high hopes, but good beer and decor can't save this place. I'd been waiting for the Bee to open for some time, excited that it might be the best thing downtown after it opened. However having been there six times since it opened a few weeks ago, I feel confident saying they have a lot of work to do if they want to live up to the hype. The drink menu is quality (although other than the cocktails there is little you can't find at the Times, Foundation, or other downtown haunts), and the building is really attractive.

Awful Service The building is tastefully done. I would have liked to have tasted the food today! My friend and I went in and were told to have a seat anywhere. We sat down at a table right beside the bar. We sat there for about five minutes and a server had not been by with a menu so I went back up to the cash register and asked if we were suppose to get menus up there. I was told that the server would give us menus. There were four people at the table behind us when we walked in. After they left four more people came in and... read more
