Busy Bee Cafe

4.1

About this business

The Busy Bee is a hometown favorite for no-nonsense, down-home cooking. The locals outnumber tourists, a telling indicator of the Busy Bee's style. Red faux-leather booths line one wall, opposed by an old-time diner-style counter with red false-leather topped stools. No fancy New Southern pretenses here, just bona fide Dixie standbys like fried chicken, oxtails, smothered pork chops, fresh fried corn, greens, and candied yams. The marriage of soul food and Southern tradition is a happy one, and it comes pretty cheap, too.

The absolute best soul food in Atlanta other than my own!! If I cant cook it, this will be the only place I go to eat it!!! Only downside is the wait!! 2 1/2 hrs!! But momma was happy and we were celebrating her 83rd birthday. She said it was worth the wait!

Real, authentic Soul Food where all the locals go. The Fried Catfish is great, but the Fried Chicken is amazing! Super Friendly staff that works hard to make sure you have the best experience.
