Pinellas Park. Place is a dump! Still renovating. Prices very high for breakfast. Ordered eggs came with grits & cold toast. I asked if I could substitute grits they said no substitutions. What breakfast place doesn't do that. The waitress was very nice. I would not recommend at all. read more

We went to Busy Bee Diner in Pinellas Park and we were truly impressed. Great food, clean place, great service. Our server Michelle was awesome! This is the epitome of a great diner and what you would expect from a great diner! I heard this diner has been around for MANY years and now I know why. We will be back. read more

Food was great, server was friendly, I will definitely be back. This was my first time there and I had to take my food home there was so much!! Remember it's a diner with a diner atmosphere. read more

WOW! What happened to Busy Bee?!?! I should have known when the parking lot and restaurant were empty. First, they were out of Diet Coke - how does this happen - go buy some cans. Glad they were though because $4.50 was waaaay pricey (I ordered a water instead). Secondly, I ordered a Western omelet without onion and asked what kind of cheese came on it - NONE - paid extra - and they only offer swiss or american. When it came out, guess what, it had onions - sent it back. Thirdly, I ordered DRY, dark white toast and it came out buttered - sent it back. Next I ask for a few more pats of butter, guess what, they didn't have any more. Finally, the bill comes - almost $18.00 (with tax) for an omelet!!!!! I'll mark this breakfast retreat off my list and won't be back. read more

One of the best diners around Tampa. Their food is unreasonably good, especially for the affordable price. I came here twice for lunch, one time getting their amazing cuban burger (burger with pulled pork on it). It was so big I used a fork and knife to eat it. The second time I had their breakfast for lunch, delicious pancakes, crispy bacon, and excellent eggs. Without a doubt a place to revisit time and time again if you are in the area. read more

Stopped for a bite this morning. Service help was good. Food average at best. Manager complained about supplies cost and blamed the government Parking is cramped and spaces too small and no place for smokers. I don't recommend Busy Bee. read more

My husband and I hosted a couple of out of town friends and since we were in that area during breakfast time, I suggested this diner. I remembered how much I enjoyed going there about a decade ago and assumed that if they're still in business, they must still be good. Well while the food and service were great, I was truly embarrassed for suggesting this place. It looked like they haven't had any renovations in a looong time. Filthy ceiling tiles, probably from the "smoking days", curtain rods kept up by zip ties, remanence of COVID with the plastic dividers between the booths. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint and the wall decor could use some dusting, straightening, and replacing with something less faded. We all ordered omelettes. They arrived quickly and were delicious. Our server was friendly and efficient. I hope that they do decide to spruce up the place and make it nice again. read more

Steak and eggs are awesome! Service is as well. We have ordered several times and it never disappoints.

The absolute best liver and onions I ever had. Sorry I didn't add a picture. Next time as I will be back for it again. Perfect mid rare. Typical diner setting and the service was friendly and attentive. read more

Your typical diner with an extensive menu. The service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend the fried steak, it comes with a killer gravy! read more

Happened upon this place this morning for breakfast, while the place was quite busy. I found a seat immediately at the counter and was waiting on very promptly. The food was average breakfast food, which was served in a timely manner the reason for the two star rating was that the restaurant was filthy All of the ceiling tiles were water damaged, and there were many dust bunnies hanging from the ceiling Needless to say, this was a one and done, and I don't have to repeat the visit read more

I would literally TRIPLE the stars if it would let me! This is the BEST breakfast place that ever existed. Food and service is always great! They can get really busy but it is totally worth the wait! read more

We checked the website and found daily specials. When we arrived , there weren't any. The waitress said she's been here 6 years and there never have been. My husband ordered liver and onions. Talk about tough, he needed to use the steak knife provided to saw thru his meat. The salad was sub par with three leafs of lettuce, a thick slice of onion and tomato. I had the Cuban and by far , it was one of the worse I have eaten. Busy bee is a "One and done" for us! Food was mediocre at best. Definitely CANNOT recommend Busy Bee. We wasted our money! read more

Busy Bee had amazing food & excellent service! We had breakfast & lunch entrees and all delicious! Highly recommend! read more

We've become regulars at Busy Bee!!! Our favorite waitress is Andrea, she's super efficient, very personable and so sweet! This diner style restaurant can produce, hands down, the BEST CRISPY BACON!!! Bacon It's so hard to get a restaurant to understand what "extra-crispy" means and they DO!!! Thank you! Awesome pancakes (ask for well-done). Never had a bad meal, only thing I'm NOT overly fond of, is their brand of brewed coffee... has an odd after taste to me! We'll be back again and again!!! read more

Fast, friendly, OK service. Ambience was nothing special and semi-clean. Shelve in kitchen, for example, are foil wrapped; an indicator they are covering up something they can't, or don't want to, clean. Price and portions are good. Food, however is very disappointing. My mom mentions trying The Busy Bee every time we drive past, so yesterday we stopped in for the first time. Broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken breasts were not at all what anyone should expect. They looked to be straight out of the frozen food section of Win Dixie. ...maybe Stouffer's or Sarah Lee. Served with a great pile of mashed potatoes, all of it drowned in gravy straight from the jar. Canned peas, luckily, we're on small side dish so, easy to send away. Waitresses never asked why I asked her to take them nor did she enquirer about the food in general. (Funny side note: hostess took our drink order right away but, didn't know what club soda is and had to ask the waitress.) Mom's vegie omelette was totally scorched and dried out with no cheese. She is now telling me " it was the worst omelette I've ever had." Her hash browns were black on the bottom and the rye toast was heavily lathered with margarine that didn't quite melt. This was on a Thursday, early afternoon and there were about five tables seated. Just our experience. Hope this helps. ...Almost forgot the soup of the day: Ordered a cup of New England clam chowder. It is hard to describe: There was, what looked to be, an entire quarter potato protruding above the surface. Not wanting to fill up on potatoes, I fished it out, and set it on the saucer. I then proceeded to fish out three more equally huge 1/4 potato chunks leaving my "cup" half full of ok, canned chowder with tasty but very chewy clams. (I grew up in Connecticut and Nova Scotia so I know clams and chowder.) read more

Great atmosphere. Super friendly staffs. Foods are amazing. Very generous with the portion size. And cheap. read more

I was extremely excited to try the food here but unfortunately my boyfriend went to go pick up our order and was told that he needed my phone to get it. He had screenshots of the completed order screen and order number but still had to drive back home for my phone. Food was cold by the time we got to eat it and waitress told him she didn't expect him to come back. This experience was weird and disappointing. read more

Good place....everything was good. Fast too! Not as busy too so not sure why it's called Busy bee but it's good.

Great food great breakfast but I saw a bunch of roaches on the floor that went under a refrigerator.

overcharged for "extras" that are included in the description of the breakfast. it's described as part of the meal but charge eggs as a add-on. How do you order a breakfast without eggs? read more

Long established family diner/restaurant. Good food, friendly staff, fair prices. A large number of regulars which says more than a review can. read more

Service was at best mediocre. Cannot hear the waitress she did not introduce herself. The food is good but bring your checkbook quite pricey for the establishment and quality of food read more

This is my goto for ordering myself breakfast while working (ubereats). They're menu includes all of my breakfast favorites- eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, home fries and grits. They also have a feta cheese and spinach omelette which is fantastic! Plenty of options. The best part? Super cheap! I highly recommend this place for breakfast! read more

Stopped in to try their breakfast. Their omelette does not come with cheese. That is an extra charge for them to slap a slice of processed generic American cheese on it. No seasoning whatsoever on omelette or on home fries. Bland, and unimpressive. I would have enjoyed a gas station breakfast sandwich more than I did my breakfast here. Complete waste of money. read more

I live a few blocks away and I drive pass this place every day for work. It's on a busy corner of 49th and park. Every time I pass it I say to myself, I gotta try this one. Finally one Sunday morning, my guy and I decided breakfast.....so, there i suggested. We pulled into the parking in the back, walk in the door and to my surprise it was quite busy. Practically all the tables were full. The Sunday morning hustle and bustle was in full action. Basically, Busy Bee was busy. We were seated at a small table in the front. It's rustic interior let's you know this place has been around for sometime. Our server was friendly and took our order right away. He gets his usual, meat omelet with home fries and wheat toast and I do have my typical too but sometimes I switch it up. This day I did have my usual, scrambled eggs, grits, turkey sausage and an English muffin. I like to mix it all together. My guy says I shouldn't eat everyone's grits (makes your stomach hurt) but I do it anyway. Our food came quickly and we thanked God together as we typically do over our meals and we dug in. The food was good. Not too many ways you can mess up eggs but it does happen. They have a candy dish at the checkout stand that had lollipops in it and I saw a sweet little girl walk up, stand in line in order To get herself a treat. It was the cutest thing. This place is definitely a mom and pop joint that remembers its regulars, treats everyone with a smiling face, and leaves you with a full belly. Don't pass by, stop in, you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

Mom and pop with excellent food and great service staff! It's like the cheers of breakfast and lunch.

I ordered delivery tonight and the food was amazing!! The country fried steak tastes sooooo good!! It's like home (Tennessee) and all of the food was authentic southern cooking! The prices were so reasonable! They've become my new fav for breakfast food and bang for your buck!! read more

It was a stressful morning and we needed to go somewhere to wait out traffic before heading home, so went here for breakfast. We got Country Fried Steak and Corned Beef Hash breakfasts. It was really good! The prices were reasonable, and the waitress was very polite. It was steady customers for a late Monday morning. My husband stated he wished it was up where we lived because we'd sure go there again. read more

I've came here a few times looking for something quick to eat. Staff are all very welcoming and they are more than welcome to answer any questions you have. Food here is very delicious and it will leave you wanting to come back for more. I recommend people to come here all the time. read more

Everyone should try this place at least once. From the reasonably priced food and the home style cooking. It's awesome. We had a veggie omelet. And it was perfection. We also ordered a short stack that looked like 2 huge cakes. Can't stay enough about the place top notch. read more

Found this cute diner when I had my tablet fixed next door. This is a true Greek Style Diner...with some interesting twists. They also have Cuban "ropa vieja" which is a wonderful pork dish. We have now been there many times. Try the lunch specials as they come with soup or salad and potatoes and a veg. Great staff and good inexpensive food. Go on Sat and Tues for the great chicken soup. Don't show up for a late lunch or dinner as the place shuts down at 3:00 every day. Easy to find at the corner of Park Blvd and 49th St. read more

This is my favorite breakfast diner in North Pinellas. The establishment is clean. The staff is courteous and attentive. The food is simple breakfast fare. The portions are perfect. I've been here several times now and have tried my way around the menu. Everything has always been good. There's no reinventing the wheel here-- They're keeping it super simple. The value is great. Omelet, home fries, toast, coffee, water... $8.99 yeah! read more

This place has been here forever! They have great turkey sandwiches with real turkey, not processed pressed lunchmeat. The service here can be good or bad. Once I couldn't get her to leae me alone for five seconds, the other time she could not remember to bring my tea until the 3rd request! But they're real people, serving real food to everyday folk in a quaint atmosphere. read more

My new fav breakfast place to go! The price is realistic The food is spectacular and fresh, well seasoned and the appearance was marvelous. I ordered the American breakfast with scrambled eggs saug grits and toast. I'm wowed at the fact the grits was delicious and cooked well to be purchased from a restaurant. I used Uber eats the food came quick and my driver was great ! I'll eat here again. The food was so yummy I took a pic. They say a pic is worth a thousand words..... read more

I've always thought the Busy Bee was the best deal in town and went there frequently when I lived nearby. Took my family for basic breakfasts and lunches. Lots of good food and great prices. I've been stopping in when in the area. Nothing's changed, still great food. But now with the need for social distancing and masks, they don't appear to get it. No masks on waitresses, no spaced tables and nobody seems to care. Had to leave. read more

By far my favorite place for breakfast!! They literally make everything taste amazing the food is out quick the hospitality is like no other, and the owner literally walks around helping his staff while greeting everyone at there tables at sometimes twice in a meal, and the staff is always the same which means they are doing something right, BY FAR THE BEST CHEESECAKE IN THIS AREA IVE EVER HAD EITHER!! Everything about this place to me is 5 stars and my wife and child agree read more

Food is great! Their deserts are wonderful too! Nice waitresses and owner!! Must try!

When here for breakfast the other day and was absolutely surprised. Giant portion size and tasty food. And quick. I had the country fried steak while the Mrs. had the French toast. Both meals were fabulous. And the service was good. read more
