You could go there for the great barbeque alone, but Anderson's also serves delicious veggie sides and something that might sound bizarre to a few: a pig ear sandwich. It's a tiny shack where you place your order through a window and wait for your meal, which could include fresh collards, macaroni & cheese, sweet potato soufflé and fruit cobbler. If you're in the mood for a meat feast, check out the King Platter where you get pork and beef ribs, plus chicken. Talk about a stuffing!!

Since 1947, yes, 1947......the Busy Bee Cafe has been one of Atlanta's best soul food restaurants. Busy Bee is about as attractive as a soul food joint is going to be--which means recognizable signage, structured parking, even celebrity photographs and table service. With long waits at lunch, the tiny cafe sports a medley: city councilmen, cops, students and soul food junkies. Service is friendly and the restaurant is busy and cheerful. Eat a piece of history !!
