Second time here and we were the only customers lest one person in the back! That doesn't necessarily bode so well with the huge senior living development up the road. When we walked in, we were quickly greeted. Place is still bright, clean and cheery. Interesting soundscapes type music piped in also. We were told we could sit anyplace as we entered. We did and sat at a booth with a very wobbly table. A moment or two later when Ginger took our order, she replied that "we were tryin' to fix that table yesterday but we didn't have a shim." M next time a word about not having us sit there would be a welcome gesture on their part rather than letting us move all our stuff to the next table. Anyway...coffee was kinda weak too. I usually don't bother with diner coffee as it's usually hit or miss. This stuff was the latter by far. Meanwhile we got the former with our food! Queen Bee chose a daily special: one egg, two pieces of French toast and two strips of bacon. I chose the country fried steak breakfast. Queen Bee's choice made her quite the happy camper. French toast she found quite delicious; well cooked rather than goopy or runny with a nice crisp to it. The egg was perfect over medium as asked. She even told Ginger what an over medium egg constitutes. Ginger replied "I gotcha honey" with a southern laugh. My breakfast meantime was quite lovely for the most part. Country fried steak was a standard Sysco truck frozen block of breaded, minced meat. It was properly cooked (as opposed to incinerated) and not greasy. The standout for this was/is the "country gravy." Country gravy oftentimes suffers from one of two problems... 1. Over salty from too much sausage and sausage grease. 2. Floury aftertaste because the cook can't make a proper béchamel. This stuff had neither problem and was one of the better country gravies I've had in recent memory if not ever. Meanwhile eggs were scrambled properly...not too loose, not too tight (more toward the latter than the former). The home fries were quite bland (no salt, no pepper or even a hint of paprika). I wonder if too many of the old folks living round here complained about 'em. Anyway, I added a shake of salt (gasp!) and some pepper. I chose rye toast as I usually do. When Ginger dropped off our chow I even asked if it was rye instead of whole wheat. She said yes with a smile, adding the only way she can tell 'em apart is by "looking for the seeds. Ya gotta be smarter than what ya work with." Finally, Ginger herself is a real hoot. She truly reminds me of a southern version of the NYC diner waitresses I remember from my younger years and decades in the Big Apple. Sassy, funny, and quite efficient, competent and knowledgeable. After we walked in, we weren't so sure about whether we'd return here ever again. However given the balance of today's experience, I'd say that when we find ourselves in the area and in need of a feed...Pete seems to have done well with this joint and I'd say his morning crew knows their stuff! read more

As is our practice, we usually go to family lunch after church on Sunday. We try to go to places we have not been. This time, my wife, youngest daughter & husband, youngest granddaughter, and myself, went to try Busy Bee. I had been there in the former restaurant years ago. We arrived, ample parking, and were seated right away. We perused the menu. So many choices. My wife chose the Open Roast Beef plate, daughter the Steak Hoagie, her husband and daughter the Grilled Chicken sandwich and I picked the 5-Alarm Burger. And of course, my test of any Greek restaurant is Spanakopita, so I ordered one as an appetizer to share. We also each got a cup of soup with meal, luncheon special. Three chose the Lemon Chicken and two chose the Orzo (?). After a short wait, the soups came, hot and smelled great. Mine was Lemon Chicken and it was creamy, smooth and delightful. I also tried the Orzo and it was very good but there's a reason the Lemon Chicken is always on the menu. A bit later our Spanakopita came. I divided it into 4 pieces to share but hubby and granddaughter passed. Their loss, more for me! It was perfect, just the right amount of fillo and filling. A+ Our meals came and were enjoyed by all. My wife really enjoyed her Roast Beef - it brought back memories of traveling with her Dad, his favorite meal. Steak and Chicken sandwiches were great. Now, my 5-Alarm Burger. I cut it in half, so I could hold in my hand. Big mistake. Very messy, 4 napkins. LOL! I was delicious, burger cooked perfectly, but maybe a 2-Alarm. I like more spice than most so they had hot sauce on the side. I finally gave up and ate it with a fork and knife. Oh and we also had Onion Rings to share. Great - hot crispy outside, real onion inside. Sadly I had to share them. Finally we divided two Baklava pieces, everyone tried and it was delicious. But we were full already, so the second piece was added to take home boxes for later. Excellent food and service, great atmosphere. Highly recommended. One note though, I got a glimpse of the Meat Loaf plate on the way out - Next Time! read more

Great breakfast! I had the omelet and my daughter had the pancakes and bacon. Super diner experience. Excellent service.

We've ordered from here a few times now. We had biscuits & gravy which was good. The polish sausage is overly greasy & a tiny portion for $7. I wouldn't order that again. We've also had lunch here. The turkey club was great! Large & fresh. Unfortunately they put far too much mayo on it. The menu did not say it had mayo. It made the bread super soggy & unfortunately I had to throw the second half away. Had the mayo not be slathered on I could have saved it & had it the next day. I tried that but the mayo made it nasty the next day. The busy bee burger was good. The fries are fresh & well seasoned too. I'd recommend them for breakfast or lunch. Their menu is huge! Plenty to choose from. read more

Food was great-not overpriced for the current cost of food! Above all-- it was extremely CLEAN!! Service great! Will definitely go back!

Great food, always fresh. Staff is friendly and attentive. The place is decorated farm style. This is our new fav spot for breakfast!

This was my first time coming to Busy Bee. I had come to this location for many, many reason when it was another restaurant. The service was very good. I had a Gyro platter & Lemon soup. The Greek part of the platter was good. The lettuce could have been dried out as my platter had some water under the lettuce. The Lemon Soup could have used some more flavor. read more

Clean, staff were super nice but the price with the kids sharing their meal and my meal which definitely came out of a can for $15 then two coffees for $9. My husband's meal price made sense but at the end of it all the bill was $60. It seems really high for a diner. Unfortunately family of four that's too high we won't be back. read more

Over priced and small servings, very disappointed. Food was ok. They charge $1.35 for a tablespoon size of onion on hashbrowns for each of us, nickle and diming the customers. Waitress was attentive and kind. Cook was eating in grill area. read more

Good food at a reasonable price and the wait staff is courteous, friendly and helpful

Went for breakfast and it was delicious! Kathleen was our server- she was super friendly and attentive. Great place to enjoy a meal.

Gave this place a try for breakfast and was so disappointed. While some improvements were made to the decor of the prior Greek restaurant located here, the food and service were poor. Oatmeal tasted like pasty instant with stale raisins and brown sugar for topping. A $1.50 up charge for a plain English muffin instead of toast. The 2/2/2 breakfast had good eggs but the pancakes were overcooked and sausage patties were small and tasteless. I have not give a restaurant a low rating in a long time but this place was a waste of money. read more
