I absolutely love this family owned restaurant. It's super cute, the food is really good, and the staff was very nice and friendly. The article in the paper made me want to check it out, and it did not disappoint.

Our server was extremely nice. Even through our chaotic ordering. Service was very fast from the time of us sitting down to getting a server. It was under a minute. I would highly recommend getting something to eat at the busy bee.

Returned on February 27, 2025. Certainly not disappointed in the tenderloin again. Love it!! Very friendly and clean. BEST TENDERLOIN EVER. Closes at 3 pm weekdays. Special sauce for tenderloin. It was large enough for 2. Great without bread. A MUST GO TO. Adding live music on Saturday nights in November 2024

Nice new restaurant in Spencer Indiana. Food was very good. Had the chicken and waffles, which is one of my favorite meals. Chicken was cooked to perfection and waffles were delicious. Recommend this place highly.

Our first time trying Busy Bee’s, but everything was great! I ordered waffles and crispy bacon and my daughter an omelette and biscuit. It was all good. Will definitely go back. Also, there’s tons of seating! You could easily have big groups.
