For the last several years, I've seen the Busy Bee Cafe on every list that was made about places to eat in Atlanta. Since they close at 7:00 pm, they aren't an option for dinner out most nights, but on a random Thursday I was driving through town at 6:00 pm and looking for a place to eat and ended up at the Busy Bee.
When I got there, the place was so packed that I could barely get into the door. There was a tour bus out front and apparently the entire bus-load was standing just inside the front door. I did find a spot at the counter. Every review had raved about the fried chicken, so that's what I ordered.
I thought that everyone there would be eating the fried chicken. I may have made a mistake in my thinking, as the guy next to me ordered the smoked turkey legs with gravy and was nearly heart-broken when they had sold out.

So here's the breakdown on the fried chicken:
- The chicken was dry
- The creamed corn was dry
- The cornbread was dry
The place was HORRIBLY unorganized. It took twice as long to pay as it did order and eat. And it took a while for them to figure out who was going to wait on me.
Honestly, it was really a big disappointment. I might try it again some time, but I'm not in a hurry to do so.
