"We stumbled upon the Bee Cafe on our way back from Beavers Bend. As our group of four entered the cozy little building, three people sitting at the counter graciously offered us their seats. Almost immediately, we found ourselves engaged in lively conversations with those around us. When we finally took a bite of one of the best hamburgers I've ever had, it felt like we had been welcomed into the Busy Bee family. The owners were incredibly friendly and chatty, and they seemed to know everyone who walked in—except us, of course. By the time we left, we had shared stories about every dog we've ever owned, and they had shared theirs with us. Now we have a glimpse into their family history, and they know a bit about ours. Next year, when we return, I hope they greet us like one of the regulars, just like the guy next to us who always orders a double double with extra veggies, or the other guy who always gets the triple. That’s what I love about small-town places—great food, wonderful people, and friendly conversation. Talk about happy food! We can’t wait to visit our new friends again next year."
