Busy Bee Cafe

Atlanta Opened June 2026

Fried chicken royalty, now with a full bar and patio

Busy Bee Cafe has been the soul food name on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive since 1947, backed by a James Beard America's Classics award and a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Now it's opened a second spot at Atlantic Station, in the old Fanatics space by the district's central green.

The fried chicken and mac and cheese made the original famous, and both made the trip. What's new here is a full bar and a patio, neither of which the original ever had.
