The Scene
Busy Bee features celebrity photographs and table service. With long waits at lunch, the cafe sports a hodgepodge of patrons: low-rent politicos, cops, students and questing soul food aficionados. Service is extremely friendly, and, in general, the restaurant is home to a busy, cheerful vibe.
The Food
Alongside chitlins, giblets, ham hocks and neck bones,you'll find such classics as ''beelicious'' fried chicken (try it smothered in gravy), pork chops and meatloaf. Two fresh veggies--don't miss broccoli cheese casserole or a Tuesday special of baby limas--come with each dinner. Desserts, especially red velvet cake and banana pudding, are in a league of their own.
