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.

RecommendedI have been eating Busy Bee since the 80s and my mom has been eating here since the late 60s/early 70s. (They know Debra Long by name!) The have been a staple in the civil rights move.wnt, the AUCenter, and homes across Atlanta. Thee best spot for soul food, not out of a can. I'm a food blogger and I know good food.

First off I wasnt gonna complain on their food. Today I tried to call in an order. They picked up the line but never said anything 3X's. The third time I waited. When she got to the phone i expressed my complaint firmly and she apologized. Started taking my order then hung up. I called back and she asked did we just get disconnected. I said yes and she hung up AGAIN. Now I'm going to BBB 👊🏾
Wait time was ridiculous.. Placed order online, got a message food was ready and still had to wait when we got there for 1 hour. Finally got the food and it wasn't even hot. Greens were the worst I've ever tasted!!
The food is delicious 😋. I am overall pleased with everything that I ordered. I will recommend this test with five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.
The best soul food in the Downtown area
Had to wait approximately two hours for online order; however, that’s expected with the current situation. Always happy to support black businesses.
