We all need to thank Jeb and Ellen for bringing Honey's Sit 'N Eat into this world and then onto South Street. Jeb and Ellen are a couple and decided to name their first restaurant venture together "Honey's" because that's what they were. As we wait for the collective "awwww" to fade, let me just say this review is going to be very positive. I mean look at that delicious french toast.
So, spoiler, I ordered the french toast, but, since we are on the topic - their menu is very varied. They serve breakfast all day and have a lunch menu that is mainly sandwiches. Of particular interest to everybody should be their specials board, etched in chalk on the wall like special boards everywhere. They always seem to have something interesting worth trying on there (like mac and cheese pancakes). For the less adventurous their breakfast menu has staple southern type cuisine, with a Honey's twist. Their early riser special, which Samantha will expand upon, is a fantastic deal. And the coffee, oh the coffee - this was also some damn fine coffee.
Coming back to that french toast however, it was fantastic. Fluffy, thick slices with maple syrup on top. I also ordered the home fries (a staple for my breakfast) and unfortunately I wasn't a fan. The potatoes were in big chunks which meant the outside of the potato had flavour but the inside was bland. The french toast really made up for it so, if you prefer your potato chunks in your homefries a little smaller, do not order them here.
The portions are substantial people, be prepared to be taking some home. We went on a weekday morning and it was very easy to get a table. I have seen lines round the corner on the street however on the weekends around brunch time. Whichever time suits your fancy however, whether its for breakfast, lunch or dinner (they are open till 10pm on the weekdays), find a way to try them out. You will leave a very happy person.
For your gluten-free folk out there, they don't have many gluten-free options but are very accommodating.
