Good food? Not even close! Crappy little greasy spoon!! horrible food!! honestly speaking how could you ever trust a place like that? Plenty of other good breakfast places in that area. They actually let the horrible feds wire up a booth so they could record a regular diner there! WOW Stay away unless you want shitty food!! MISS YA FRANK RIP ?

Purchased a breakfast sandwich for me, my daughter and husband. The sandwiches were amazing. It’s a little pricey for a sandwich especially on wheat bread but it was just so perfect this morning as we were out and about.
Kid-friendliness: Kids can eat here as well. Don’t know about a kids menu.
Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor dining. Booths inside.

I had lunch with a friend at this traditional style diner in Brookline. My friend ordered pancakes, which came out within 10 minutes of ordering them. He said they were decent. I ordered a turkey club with fries. The problem was my sandwich didn't arrive until 15 minutes after the pancakes! My friend had already finished eating! My sandwich was okay, but it shouldn't take 25 minutes for it to come out, especially since it wasn't that busy. The onion rings we ordered were also just alright. I can't recommend this place although the server was friendly.

My son and I were visiting Boston. And with all the great food options on offer, we truly enjoyed this place. Good, old school diner food in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Were I a local, I would most certainly be a regular here. Thanks for a great visit.

Super adorable place with incredible service! We came on a Monday afternoon, so there were probably four or so other people there. The service was super quick to bring out waters and our orders. We got a bagel and an order of french toast. The french toast in my opinion was a bit too egg-y and bland for me, so I will not recommend that. We did have to go back inside to ask for the check after a while which I'm sure is just the diner's attitude of having us sit around for as long as we wanted.

Website needs to be updated to reflect operation hours. We walked 1.5 miles only to find out it was closed. This was on a Saturday morning at 10am. Do better!
I'll be back.

Great little place to have a good breakfast. People were very nice. Had a little wait, due to being short staffed. Was worth the wait.

Busy Bee is the quintessential breakfast diner that brings a small-town vibe to the city.Our waitress was kind, attentive, and courteous, and the other restaurant staff were eager to help with any needs we may have had.My girlfriend and I each had a coffee, which the staff frequently refilled; we never had less than 3/4 of a mug full during our meal. We also each had a scrambled egg with bacon, which comes with home fries and toast, and it was everything we could have hoped for. The food at Busy Bee was so good I would call it underpriced.We went around 8am, and there were very many seats open in the restaurant. There were a couple small families, and a couple of regulars with breakfast and a paper. I am not sure if it would have been busier later in the morning, but I would happily wait in line to eat there again.Busy Bee is absolutely going to be in regular rotation for us now!
Parking: Metered parking on both sides of street, including angle parking on both sides of the median.
