Ayeeeeee! Order you food thru Uber eats or Doordash to pickup you'll thank me later. Every other way come with delays. And yes you have to pick up your order out front have your name and information ready for the pickup.

Once an Atlanta staple, unfortunately, is now just a nostalgic cash grab. Even with on line orders, there's an unorganized line wait outside, the food was over salted and for the price, the portions were offensively small, not even filling up the plate sections. The best thing was the plastics container, which I can use for lunch in the future.

Be prepared to wait a long time just for take out. No seating

It’s in a shady neighborhood. Food was absolutely terrible. Zero seasoning. Yams were boiled and NO seasoning. Mac & cheese tasted like Kraft (from Dollar Tree). Chicken comparable to KFC. Trash! Trash! Trash! Banana Pudding overpriced and subpar.

Take out only.
We had a 5 hr delay and took the MART to Busy Bee. Easy stroll from the station. Ordering was easy with the staff. The order took 30 mins to cook so we walked across and got some drinks from the Walmart neighborhood. Ate on premise without any issues. There is a large trashcan on site and also at the bus stop nearby. The food is so good, I think I will layover and repeat from now on.

I don't like it. You have to stand out side and order from an app. You can not go inside is what I like to do. I like to look around and see how clean they are. And I had to wait 20 minutes. And it is too expensive. I paid 43 dollars. Have not tasted it yet. Do not know what the presentation look like yet. Will let you know. Thanks 👍♥️. I would like too dine in; but they don't let you in. You have too sit outside. Will not be back. I think they need to purchase the property next door an expand.

This food was so mid it blew my mind. In real life. They breaded and fried wings to smother them in gravy. Who would want that? Why not bake them and smother them in gravy? Now the skin is a mush mess. I won't be going back. It makes sense why their food was BOGO on ue. The Mac was bland. The greens were good. Tender and flavorful....

I placed a couple of orders online on Monday and arrived about 20 minutes before the expected pickup time. Upon arrival, I headed inside. The dining room was in disarray. The tables were pushed to one side with junk and papers on top of them. I was immediately told to wait outside.

Food was sitting in plastic bags on top of one of the tables. So, when I was served about 10 minutes later, the server grabbed a plastic bag off the table. The chicken was sweaty and looked soggy in spots. The vegetables were lukewarm. Perhaps, it’s better to order in the parking lot and wait.

A soul food landmark with deep history. The fried chicken was golden and juicy, with collard greens and cornbread on the side that tasted like home cooking. It’s small, always crowded, and service can be slow, but the food has heart and tradition.

I decided to take my husband today to busy bee cafe , I hadn’t been there in a while, so I did not know that we could not eat in there any longer, that it was only takeout.

When we drove up and we had to order our food outside, I was initially disappointed because I had want to sit down and eat and get the whole atmosphere with the good food.

What made this experience so fantastic was the young lady who was helping us I hope I’m pronouncing her name, right Angelique. anyway she was the epitome of wonderful amazing customer service. She knew the menu patiently waited while we looked through the entrées and the sides and the desserts.
She laughed with us etc…..she needs to train a team of people to be like her. I had to take the food to go, but she made the experience so pleasant and I told her I was so happy with her being so pleasant kind and the great customer service.

We got home and ate the food and everything was delicious. Busy bee thank you as always for a wonderful food and for an amazing experience with Angelique we will definitely be back.

The quality of the food has declined significantly. Every dish was swimming in grease. I used to take friends and out of town visitors to Busy Bee. Never again.
