Just plain good food and good service--go there and fined out for yourself--enjoy --you are welcome

This is right on the main drag in downtown Ventura. My partner and I love old school diners, and this place drew us in with their decor and ambiance...and the fact that it had a bathroom. We weren't particularly hungry, it late afternoon-ish when we dropped by, so we just ordered and split an order of the cinnamon raisin French toast and some coffees. I mean, this was something that we probably could have made at home pretty easily, but our server was amazing. He split the French toast into two plates for us and kept our coffees full. As for the bathroom, you need a token to get into it, and it's a single stall. They have the old tabletop jukeboxes - for a quarter, you get two songs. Sadly, we didn't have a quarter. We parked a couple blocks away because the 4 blocks or so were blocked off to traffic, but there is an easy free all-day parking on the mission side of the drag.

Glad we got to give Busy Bee another go. The last visit was years ago and it was a sad excuse of a meal and the entire vibe just was a miss. After a birthday request we stopped in for dinner and it was a full 180 degree turn around for the better. The energy was high, the staff was amazing and the food was a hit!! Now your thinking old school diner but I've had a craving for an LA street dog for weeks and when I saw the footlong Tijuana dog it was on! That dog was legit a foot long girthy glizzy with bacon wrapped around, grilled onion and peppers and it just hit the spot! With a grilled jalapeño on the side to nibble on to up the heat. All around a fantastic visit I was glad we gave it another go!

My friends were in town and we walked the Blvd looking for something for brunch. My girlfriends wanted a traditional American breakfast and when they saw the menu and cute old school diner vibes they said we had to go in. I'm really glad we did because this spot is legit. Surprisingly for some many years I've walked right by this spot and never come inside, because this really is a classic feel good diner. One of the things I loved most about this spot is how awesome the menu is! They have pages upon pages of food. Breakfast, lunch, classics, unique bites, you name it. I was also pleasantly surprised how large their cocktail menu is. When I think diner I don't usually think cocktails but here I was super impressed they had so many drink options and with pictures! The vibes were cute, red and white decor and lots of old school diner memorabilia. Oldies were playing overhead it was definitely a vibe. Our waitress was very sweet and patient with us. With the menu being so big it took us a little while to figure what we wanted but she was nice and gave good recommendations. She was very attentive and also ensured that our drinks were always refilled. I definitely appreciated the stellar service here. Nice people work here. 5 stars for service and ambiance. The food is a solid 4 stars and overall was pretty good. My friends liked their dishes more than I did but that's ok. I had the chicken fried steak and while presentation wise it looked good the texture and taste just wasn't there for me. Better CFS in the 805. However my scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly and the hash browns tasty. My friends loved their meals. I love that when you ask for the bacon here extra crispy they deliver! My other friend got a unique vegan Ruben sandwich and she was in heaven. I love that their vegetarian and vegan dishes hit the spot. Overall definitely a great spot for brunch and I'll be back.

We had a great time at the Busy Bee. The Sundae shake, chicken and waffles and tuna melt were all really good we will be back for the fun atmosphere, great service and tasty nostalgia.

Loved the drinks, service, and food. You need a gold token to use the bathroom which you can get from the server or someone at the counter. They offer a variety of cocktails and the milk shakes are really good! You can even get a spiked milkshake. I like the ambiance of this place as it takes you back to the 1950s. Each table has a mini jukebox.

I visited the Busy Bee Cafe recently. I went with my mom. We both had Small Fudge Sundaes, but I also had a Strawberry Shake. We enjoyed what we had. Me and my mom split our bill, but upon doing so the staff member handling our bill overcharged my mom. Upon realization of the mistake, money was refunded to my mom.
