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 food here was so good that I would purposely book a long layover in ATL to come here even if just passing through. Mac and cheese and yams were especially delicious.

Busy bee is by far the best soul food restaurant in Atlanta. I have been eating here since 2001, when I moved to Atlanta and attended Clark Atlanta. But today at 6:20pm. I came in before the closing time of 7:00pm and was turned away, saying they are not taking no more Togo orders. I understand there is always a wait time to get the food but to be turn away. Hurt my heart. Was wanting to get this all day.

Delicious home cooked meal just like grandma's kitchen, great conversation with waitress, long wait (but well worth it)!
