We are staying in VT and found this gem of a diner. The place is adorable and seats about eleven people total. The ladies running the place are super sweet, but the chef is truly the star of the show. She single-handedly slays that tiny kitchen and produces great food at breakneck speeds. Her whole prep area is about 2ft by 2ft. When we arrived, there were six others that had just arrived too. She whirls around that tiny kitchen, whipping up masterpieces, all the while chatting up the regulars sitting at the counter. We had a traditional breakfast of eggs, potatoes, bacon, pancakes and toast. All of it hot and delicious. I highly recommend you stop in if you get the chance. read more

Excellent!! Great spot for some chow - the Western omelette with cheddar slapped. Hot coffee on a snowy winters day and friendly staff started our day off right! read more

Busy Bee Diner - A breakfast meal featuring two omelettes with toast, a cup of coffee, and a glass of iced tea with ice cubes. - Diners Near Me - Glover, Vermont

We stopped here not knowing what to expect on our way home from a great Vermont weekend. There are maybe 16 seats in the whole place but the food was excellent! Definitely small town atmosphere and everyone was so kind. This precious gentleman gave up sitting at a four top and moved to the bar so our family could eat there. The waitress was great- even the cook came out and said hello! Definitely recommend if you're passing through or even from there! read more

Small but cozy. A couple tables and several chairs by the counter. Delicious home cooked meals and sandwiches. Ice-cream across the street. Friendly Home style service. read more

Excellent Diner in Glover VT. The food was delicious and piping hot. I think it was a mother daughter duo which made it that much sweeter. Truly a hidden gem. Pancakes bacon potatoes and eggs were cooked to perfection. Will be back everytime I visit Vermont. read more

If you need yet another reason to visit Glover, Vermont besides Bread and Puppet or The Museum of Everyday Life, THIS IS IT! The Busy Bee Diner tightly seats about 12 inside. All food is prepared to order on the grill before your very eyes 4 feet away. Even the french fries are cut and fried for each order. And these two ladies do the BEST short order ballet I have ever seen. My Stinger Burger was also best ever. Open 7 days, 7AM-2PM. Go already! read more

Service was wonderful. Very small diner with around 8 seats. Fresh, excellent hash browns, perfectly made poached eggs. Everything made to order is excellent read more

This place is an absolute perfect example of rural Vermont and the people you will meet. The food is stellar, the people are super friendly, and the prices are affordable. The pancake my son ordered was larger than a large dinner plate. The diner itself only has 2 tables and diner bar seating inside, so if you are here in winter you may have to wait foe a table. In summer they have outdoor seating. Great option if you want some simple and delicious diner food in the Northeast Kingdom read more

See all

Great food! And service! Limited seats with front row view of cook. We loved it and so glad we stopped here!

This is my favorite diner in Vermont and an excellent place for breakfast. Looking forward to eating here again when I'm back in town.

We love the BB. Denise does a great job. The quality of the food is excellent. Mostly organic. Large quantities. The french fries are cut in front of you and put right into the fryer. Can't get much fresher than that! Highly recommend. read more

Everything was great, food was amazing, big plates and good quality service. Highly recommend :)

This teensy little diner is a gem and earns its name as Busy Bee. The owner does a great job of serving up humungous portions of food and the prices cannot be beat. I ordered a chocolate chip pancake which ended up being the size of a medium pizza, plus eggs overeasy with a side of ham and potatoes plus whole wheat toast. It was all fantastic. Her mom makes all the desserts and they are huge slices. The one gentleman was there for his second breakfast of the day and was taking two more slices home. Everyone was friendly and chatty. It was a great breakfast. read more

The farmer's omelette was amazing. Small place with big flavors. Would definitely come back if I was in the area again.

Excellent food! The pancakes are as big as a tire, and don't even think about having it without real Vermont maple syrup. WONDERFUL! I loved my breakfast sandwich with a beef patty! read more

I live right up the hill from here and ordered at 10:30, arrived at 10:55 (20 minute wait) after arrival I got told my pancakes are now waffles, my sausage links were as black and hard as the toast was... completely uneatable.... my breakfast sandwich was half burned... I finished my meal with my girl friend and after being very displeased we called back but got told our food was sitting there for 2 hours and that there was nothing wrong with it as they were extremely rude and snippy about how there food is always good and up to par. sounds like bs isn't just for busy bees but complete bull shit. read more

Cute small spot to grab a simple coffee and breakfast. The ladies that worked there were fun and what I remember most from my experience.

Very cute and very small diner across from Currier's General Store. Just 1 small room abt., 50 Ft X 20 Ft. Long counter with stools and 3-4 small tables. Newly renovated inside. We enjoyed some good coffee and homemade donuts with real VT maple syrup. They press all their own potatoes by hand for french fries. NICE! Nice owner who chatted us up. We hope to get back soon to try some more menu items. read more

Busy Bee Diner - a woman standing outside of the restaurant - Diners Near Me - Glover, Vermont

Get the homemade bread for anything you can - toast, sandwiches... delish! A definite stop.

We went for breakfast and were not disappointed. Good coffee, great and big blueberry pancakes, and perfectly cooked thick bacon. Topped with maple syrup, it couldn't have been better. We went because of all the good reviews. We will go back because their food is so good. read more

The space is tiny but the food is delicious! Highly recommend the Shepards pie, the strawberry rhubarb cobbler and chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Wish we had time to return but we will be back! read more

Busy Bee is a classic very small place. I dropped in right before closing and ordered a reuben wrap to go. The wrap was excellent and the service and hospitality were part of the Vermont charm. thank u i will be back ! read more

Adorable little diner with homemade comfort food! Super friendly and fast!! Make sure to check out the market across the street while your in Glover! read more

Perfect example of a restaurant based on feeding people with love Homemade simple comfort food Done the way it should be 2 very welcoming I think sisters who are happy to share the goodness they make It's a small super sweet setting We stopped here for lunch on our way back from jay peek to city I highly recommend it And don't skip dessert! It was delicious!!! Thank you read more

This food was so good! Just a mother and daughter, so personable and nice. The food was so great and we really enjoyed ourselves.

What a wonderful find. Great food, home fries are worth the drive alone. Best coffee in the Northern Kingdom. No grits, but plenty of wit and wisdom. Stop by, say hi and ask for the apple pie. This is not fast food. It's good food. Enjoy. read more

this tiny little place (seats 11 inside) is one of the most enjoyable places I have eaten at in a long time. The owner does all the cooking, is extremely organized, and puts lots of love in everything she cooks. Reasonable prices for very large portions. I had the Stinger burger which was almost impossible to fit my mouth around. Homemade fries with an EXCELLENT brown gravy was awesome. One of her specials that day was hand breaded fresh haddock. The guy with me ordered a BLT wrap which was large and as a signature touch, she warmed the finished sandwich on the griddle. Sitting at the counter we watched her cooking several orders. someone ordered pancakes at 12:45 pm. Cooking those on a griddle along with burgers is quite the trick. The pancakes were freakin HUGE! She used two spatulas to flip each pancake. Make sure you save room for dessert- her pies are to die for. I live almost two hours away or I'd eat here every week- maybe every day! read more

I'm a local and want to love this place so much. There is a huge difference in quality when the owner is there vs the chef. Go when the big truck is parked; if only the Jeep is there, then I'd suggest visiting another day. My husband got the biscuits and gravy one Sunday when the owner was there, and it was fabulous. Went back on a Saturday and the gravy was thinned down to where it was just a white goopy liquid. Based on the high prices, it just wasn't worth what we paid. I've been there a few times and when only the Jeep is there, I tend to not get the sides or the toppings I ordered. I don't mean to be rude; I just really want this place to be consistent! read more

My husband and I stumbled across this little gem quite by accident. We'd been to the Bread and Puppet Museum up the road and didn't have cash to buy ALL THE ARTWORK, so we drove into Glover to use the ATM. I can never resist a tiny little diner. And the Busy Bee is such an authentic spot. Not like the shiny diners that are re-made to LOOK like old fashioned diners. This is the real deal. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. My husband ordered the egg salad, which was served on thick sliced homemade white bread. I ordered the cheeseburger. We'd intended to split our dishes so we could each try the other. Unfortunately for my husband, the burger was too good to share. Not even a bite. The bun had been buttered and grilled, which gave it a sweet, almost caramel flavor, and the meat was fresh from that day. Wow. My husband wasn't too upset that I wouldn't share as his egg salad was "just as good," according to him. (I wasn't falling for that though. Not sharing the burger. Nope.) I highly recommend this deeeeelicious diner to anyone passing through Glover or anywhere nearby. read more

Heaven knows I love teh Busy Bee! I come up from Long Island, New York quite often to stay at our lakeside cabin on Lake Willoughby and I come here for breakfast almost daily. A tiny little place with a lot of smiles. Mindy will take great care of you. DELICIOUS breakfast, huge portions and very fair prices for everything. You have to try the homemade toast... so good. read more

I'm a fan of independent restaurants, and my favorites have always been the old Dining Car By The Roadside. Now, the Busy Bee isn't a converted railroad dining car but it comes close. All the details are there. The limited space that should be claustrophobic, but is intimate even on the first visit. The grill just behind the sit-down counter. A few tables shoehorned in. Even the ever-smiling waitress/cook juggling five things at a time and making it look easy. If plastic and antiseptic is your thing, keep on going on 91, but for warmth and real cooking, take exit 25 west. It's a bit over a mile and don't blink. Glover isn't a one-stop-light-town. I didn't even notice a stop sign. However, you might want to walk across the road to the local general store. It's got everything from local wines to hunting ammo, and to prove the ammo works, there's an amazing assortment of stuffed wildlife just begging to be part of a vacation photo album. I had French toast made with bread that was baked right there, covered with real Vermont maple syrup. (For those of you who think "maple syrup is sugar water with a touch of flavoring, getting the real stuff is an education for your taste buds.) My wife had their "special omelet": sausage, bacon, ham, green peppers, onions, cheese and mushrooms. With sodas and a thirty percent tip (she was worth it), I walked out with change from a 20. I'm not even sure they have a freezer. Everything was fresh. While we were there, I watched the cook convert a potato into French fries. read more

The Busy Bee is great: big portions, low prices, endless coffee, friendly service, homemade bread, open early, good heating system, clean bathroom, tables and stools and well-lit. I ate there once before a mountain bike race and I won. I ate there once when I was having a fight with my girlfriend and we stopped fighting. I cannot guarantee that those things will happen to you if you eat there, but why not try it and find out. read more

What a great stop !! Hand cut fries and onion rings made to order.Burger was hand pressed in front of you.Sisters are awesome that run the spot..great banter and history.5 stools 6 chairs cozy and fun do not miss this place on your way back from Hillfarmstead read more

Awesome chicken wraps! Really friendly service! Ask Adam for any recommendations. Worth going!

Delicious! We stumbled into Glover and after a few moments realized we had actually been there before on a "discovery drive" a few years back when we visited friends in West Burke. But we had not stopped at Busy Bee and we're so glad this time around we did! Family owned and operated, they had recently experienced a devastating fire and this was their first day open since although you never would have known! Friendly and sweet, the family members lovingly teased one another and their regular customers while making our food. Speaking of love, there was some love sprinkled in our lunch! Fantastic cheeseburger (butter on the toasted bun - YUM!!) with extra pickle they just knew I would want. Hand cut fries and a grilled cheese on thick homemade bread. I only wish we had room for dessert because there were hot muffins right out of the oven on cooling on the counter, and I bet they had excellent pie. . . . Next time! Intimate, kind, cozy. A real gem of a place. read more

Highly recommend checking this place out for breakfast. We ate outside at the picnic tables. The two women who were running the place were very friendly and the food was excellent. Homemade bread, a tasty omelette, and endless coffee is tough to beat. The country store across the street was pretty neat as well read more

Busy Bee Diner - Special omelette - Diners Near Me - Glover, Vermont

Stopped in here before one last day of skiing up at Jay Peak this past Saturday. Had that local feel that I absolutely love. Waitress took our order, cooked breakfast, refilled my coffee, washed the dishes, and closed out our bill- all with a kind smile and some friendly conversation. Literally the queen bee of multi tasking! I also had the homemade toast- Wonderful! We shared a blueberry pancake- absolutely one of the best pancakes I've ever had! If you're in the area- this place is a MUST for breakfast!! read more

Great little spot for breakfast/lunch. VERY limited seating so don't get mad if you get there and it's full. They work quickly so seat turnover time is short. If it is full, usually someone is leaving in the next 5 minutes. Good food, very friendly staff, and great prices. read more

1 lady to take your order, prepare the food, wash the dishes for the whole restaurant..so service was slow. BUT...worth the wait! Burgers were amazing! Healthy portions! Homemade strawberry rhubarb pie was also amazing! Will definitely go back. Excellent home cook'n! read more
