Busy Bee Café has been in business for quite some time, mainly because the food is just so darn good. That’s the thing about soul food, it speaks to your soul. Make sure you try the famous fried chicken, which is cooked using pressure fryers, which means it’s oh-so-crispy and tender on the inside. Follow your meal up with a sweet, savory peach cobbler.

Fried chicken. okra, dressing, stewed corn, pole beans, and sweet potatoes. Those are the types of dishes that The Colonnade Restaurant serves to their customers. Everyone raves about the dishes here, plus all the combination platters you can order. You can't get a bad plate no matter what you choose.

Normally, it's the places that aren't the fanciest on the outside that have some serious eats on the inside. Willie B's Sisters Southern Cuisine is one of those places. Their Smothered Ribs for example, are just the right amount of tender, yet juicy and flavorful.

Word on the street is that Gus’s fried chicken is world famous. And indeed, most people rave about the crunchy texture, and tender inside. But it’s probably the sides that Gus’s serves that takes the cake for most. Try their creamy mac & cheese, fried okra, and fried green tomatoes.
