This southern soul food spot exceeded my expectations. It's a small spot that is take out only, but it's worth the wait and the food makes up for the lack of seating. The fried chicken is to die for with its crunchy dredge and umami flavor. The collard greens were well flavored with the small pieces of bacon, and the baked beans were surprisingly great, perfect balance of sweetness in the side. Busy Bee does an exceptional job with their southern dishes

The food is delicious. Generally, I don’t eat soul food in the street….Babbbbby, our fried chicken, fish, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, greens, and yams were sooooo delicious. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy

Pick up only, which we did not know. Make sure to call in your order ahead of time. Waited 25 min for the food, but it was excellent. Parking is tight. Got the fried chicken and smothered pork chop 😋
