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.

This is my spot for southern food. If you’re in a hurry call in ahead of time for some take out but if you can wait a little ( because it’s a small spot that stay busy) sit down and enjoy some good ol soul food. I’ve had the whole menu and everything is awesome. But my go to are the smothered pork chops
