    Out front on a chilly late March Saturday morning
    Paul D.

    This was my first visit to Honeybees Restaurant, it having been a well-known hot dog store for many decades. Recently expanded (doubled in size) Honeybee is a nice addition to downtown Gettysburg. I went at 10AM on a sunny Saturday morning in late March when the tourists were in full bloom (ie a plethora of visitors), thus had to wait for approximately 15 minutes to be seated. The were about 8 people standing inside near the entrance when I immediately acknowledged by a staff member who took my name and said that it would be about a 30 minute wait. Every single table was occupied which I like to see in a small downtown business. What impressed me was that despite the hustling due to the amount of customers, every single employee smiled at some point including the college-age servers. (I say that because I am acclimated and conditioned to seeing employees who are resentful that they have employment.) Anyway, I was seated about 4 feet from the front entrance and it was a brisk 33 degrees outside, thus every time someone entered or exited, I received a highly invigorating arctic blast of fresh air. As soon as the previous guests stood up and meandered toward the front door, 2 employees proceeded to wipe off the table and seats which I thought was great except that my bum was subsequently dampened by the still wet seat. My order was taken promptly. I chose the egg white omelet with breakfast potatoes and whole wheat toast. The table had packets of jelley; I recall seeing grape, blackberry, and raspberry. I had to wait about 20 minutes for the order to arrive which was understandable due to every seat being occupied. Our young server, Kaitlin, was sufficiently attentive. My omelet was hot and tasty, and the serving size more than adequate. Kaitlin brought the check which she took to the register. A QR code on the bill option for payment would have been nice. I didn't take many indoor photos because I avoid posting a plethora of people's faces in my reviews if at all possible. Meter parking is available in downtown Gettysburg and please remember to feed the meters as parking violations are rigidly enforced in our historic borough. In summary, I rated Honeybees a 5 star and shall return. Know that they do take reservations and offer take out orders. Do check it out!

    I highly suggest checking out this place for brunch or lunch. I was visiting my grandma over the weekend, and wanted to treat her for a mother's day lunch at a restaurant we have not been to before. I checked out The Honeybee online, and saw reviews about how the food is good, inexpensive, and large portions. Well sure enough these reviews were correct. However, before I get into the food, I want to highlight how amazing their customer service is. Every single person we met here were so sweet, and just lovely to talk to. My grandma has difficulty walking and has to use a walker. Well the restaurant has two steps you have to climb, my grandma was struggling to get up, and I was struggling to help her, carry up her walker, and hold the door. Within 30 seconds, 3 employees, and the owner came rushing over and were incredibly helpful. They were so sweet to us and let us pick any table and immediately treated us with water, and friendly conversation. Now for food, I got the chocolate chip pancakes with a side of sausage links. My grandma got a cheese burger and fries. She told me she never craves burgers but she something about this one stood out to her. She said it was so delicious, and especially loved the bun they used. She was able to take it home, as her burger was massive. My pancake was perfect, and the sausage links were steaming, and a great addition to my pancake. Both of our meals were less than $11 each. I cannot emphasize enough to come check them out, you will not be disappointed!

    We stopped here for breakfast and this place was amazing! Food was delicious and fresh! Our server was fantastic! Coffee was great. If we are ever in the area again, we will be back!

    Great brunch spot in Gettysburg! They have regular and unique options for breakfast/brunch, fresh coffee and great service! Something for everyone. Great spot for families, couples or single diners. The bacon was a standout. Order a side and you'll have enough to share. The French toast is also a wonderful option and they have several to choose from. They have daily specials too! Large portions, great service and great coffee will perk you up for a day of exploring!

    We had a very nice breakfast at this little diner. Our waitress Carmella was wonderful! The coffee was good. The eggs and home fries were as good as it gets. Yummy chia pudding, fresh fruit, and incredible bacon. The atmosphere is casual. They also serve lunch.

    Eggs scrambled with cheese, sourdough toast, bacon and potatoes! The eggs were so fluffy and soft.

    The service was very nice and we sat quickly. There was a line after us but we got right in! Food was hot and delicious. It wasn't too loud and great for young kids. They also helped with my stroller and put in the hall away from everyone. Overall positive experience. Would come back.

    Honeybee is super cute, has a good diverse menu, and is a good place to stop for a bite when in Gettysburg. The location is central to lots of shopping. I appreciated the Gluten free bread option so my husband could have a burger. The downside- the wait for food is long, and you may get your food 5 minutes before or after others at your table. (Happened to us and other tables.) We ordered chicken tenders which were OK, but the crust was just a little "off"- like a tad overcooked and crumbly vs crunchy. I got the cheesecake stuffed French toast, which really is huge and rich- better as a dessert.

Pizza was delicious as usual and served within about 10 minutes after we arrived. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. The charge for the meal was $30 plus a cash tip. I think this is a little expensive for a medium pizza and one drink however we can only eat half the pizza at one time, so we took the other half home with us and had it for lunch today and it was still excellent. This of course cuts the cost to about $15 per lunch which makes it very reasonable. Men's bathroom was very clean and neat. Try it you'll like it.

We sat down to wait and my daughter needed a pencil to work on her homework so I asked the gentleman at the cash register. He went out of his way to scrounge one up for my daughter so she could work on her homework while we waited for our food. Shortly thereafter the food came out and we were able to indulge in a wonderful Italian sub and my daughter munched on the lettuce in the salad in the car. She commented how fresh the lettuce was and then when she got home, she devoured the baked ziti which she said was fantastic. We are so glad that we stopped and hopefully we will try and make a tradition of stopping by weekly if possible so glad. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures but the next time we stop by I'm sure I will try.

Some of our party got the crab cakes and were pleasantly surprised how good they were. (They were recommended by the people we met there.) One of our party got liver and onions and was pleased. Two people got the tapioca pudding, which I thought was an off choice for dessert, but they said it was the best they ever had and it was light and fluffy. I'm sure when we're ready to go for a country drive to a cute historical town, the Gateway will be a good place to stop for lunch or an all-day breakfast.
