All of the staff have been super friendly (but they wear these weird red polos that look very corporate, would look better in T-shirts to fit in with the campus/student aesthetic). I love the location because I can easily get drinks around class. One aesthetic I would change is the Coke cooler on the counter- it looks misplaced and unprofessional. My main complaint is that nothing matches properly. An interior designer carefully crafts the look of the display cases, counters and setup behind the bar and with the menus, but they go and add a Coke fridge and red polos? Just pick something that's more cohesive.

We were in luck because the lunch menu was AH-mazing. I saw the chicken salad sandwich (on wheat, you can choose croissant), and it was the so fresh, delicious, with lettuce and tomato, just the way I like it at home. The sandwich is quite large, it could be two meals for me. I chose chips to go with, you can choose a fruit cup. The hubs can't have dairy so he was able to get Fried Green Tomato BLT, and boy it delivered. My kiddo wasn't hungry but able to find homemade yogurt (it's so good!), and a side fruit cup. She was so happy with that selection. There's something for everyone at this cozy spot. Be sure to head to the counter to order and then they give you a little number and bring your food to your table. For sure we will be stopping by to grab a meal when we road trip through this area next time!

We were passing through Cullman on our way home from one of our weekly summer road trips and…read moredecided on the Busy Bee for lunch. This restaurant has been around for a while and I've read about it through various Alabama tourism outlets. It has an interesting recent history in that it was destroyed and rebuilt, I believe during the 2011 tornado outbreak. The inside has kind of a fun, local / diner-y feel to it and they had a lot of business during our visit. We had heard they used to serve German food but it appears they no longer do so, as the menu was limited to more classic American lunch fare such as burgers and sandwiches. The prices are quite competitive and fair. Our waitress was okay - not super friendly, though she warmed some when we asked her about the cute chapel across the street. She didn't check on us too much but was timely with our order and request for a check. My dad got a fried bologna sandwich, my mom got a burger, and I tried the "Eric," which is grilled chicken and jalapeños and cheese sandwiched between Texas toast. Dad and I got fries while mom got onion rings. I'd say everything was about average. My parents both said they'd give it a 2.5 out of 5 but agreed a 3 was appropriate when I explained my own internal ranking guide (2 = wouldn't want to go even if a friend asked; 3 = probably wouldn't go again of my own accord but wouldn't complain if someone else asked to try it). The bologna sandwich was very thick cut. My mom said her burger reminded her of a diner style burger and was fine, but to me it didn't look too appetizing. She was disappointed in the onion rings and liked our fries better. The fries were crispy on the outside but a little mealy on the inside. My chicken sandwich got reaaaaally soggy on the bottom and the chicken was cut very thin/in a weird shape, but the jalapeños were pleasantly spicy and the cheese made it nice and gooey. It was a decent sandwich. Glad to have marked an Alabama institution off the list of places to try! As one of the oldest restaurants in the area, there's a lot of history here.
