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 place brings back fond memories of watching momma and grandma set a wonderful table on Sunday’s full of great food and love. If you miss that “table” like I do, find a table here and enjoy. 

Business response:

We absolutely love that, Shenna! Thank you for sharing such a sweet review.

The restaurant was while visiting Atlanta. The location was easy to find, the food and service was great!! I would recommend arriving early or calling ahead because they were popping from the time I arrived until I left and my order was to go lol
