Best Fried Chicken in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta
"Yet another beloved Atlanta restaurant that’s been around for decades, Busy Bee Cafe opened in 1947. Here, the chicken is marinated for 12 hours, hand-breaded, and fried. If that isn’t enticing enough, get the smothered version, which is topped with pan gravy. The Atlanta soul food institution won an America’s Classics award from the James Beard Foundation in 2022. And Busy Bee owner Tracy Gates can now add Michelin Bib Gourmand to the list of accolades this Vine City soul food institution has received over the last 76 years. Another location of Busy Bee is headed to Atlantic Station in 2026." - Eater Staff
