Busy Bee Cafe

Fodor's Review:

A local favorite for decades, this classic 1950s diner has a jukebox on every table and serves hearty burgers and American comfort food (think meat loaf and mashed potatoes, pot roast, and Cobb salad). For breakfast, tuck into a huge breakfast omelet; for a snack or dessert, be sure to order a shake or hot fudge sundae from the soda fountain.
