Busy Bee Cafe


C. Thomas Howell doesn't need to take Bronzing Pills if he wanted Soul... all he had to do was grub at the Busy Bee.

Mary Mac's and Glady Knight & the Pimps ain't got nuthin' on Busy Bee... this chow is tastee. You have to get there early or else the wait is unreal. If there is a line...go next door and get a fade from Calvin Palmer at the Barbershop.

The jewel of the menu is of course the Fried Chicken. Mebbe one of the best I have ever eaten. Super crispy, thin batter, juicy yet not greezy, seasoned nicely... just OMG. The Collards are excellent. The Mac was good but needed that crispy semi-burnt crust. Cheese grease factor was low which is good. The corn bread is decent, they just break apart like sawdust when you bite into it...but it's not a bad thing though.

The rest of the menu is just plain good...some dishes better than others but still homemade with love and attention. The "Joe Lewis" Ham Hock is a shank to be reckon with. The Daily Specials are quite special as well... served with sweet tea. The tea is so sweet, if you put a string in it... you'll get rock candy in 5 minzies.

"Comin to ya on a dusty road
Good lovin I got a truck load
And when you get it you got something
So don't worry cause I'm coming

I'm a Soul Man..."
