This is a fantastic breakfast--and probably lunch--restaurant. We visited Gettysburg for three days and ate breakfast here twice (we arrived too late on our first day). The service was outstanding, and everyone's meal was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was spotless, including the restrooms, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Both mornings our server even asked if we'd like beverages to go, which was a thoughtful touch. I only wish we had a HoneyBee where we live. We'll definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family visiting Gettysburg. It's easily one of the best breakfast restaurants I've ever been to--and I've been to a lot! Hoping to come back for lunch in the near future. read more

What a lovely gem in historic Gettysburg, PA. First off great vibes... part diner and part sit -down restaurant. It felt very homey and relaxed. Service was efficient and friendly. My sister, niece and I had a lovely girls lunch recently. The menu is varied but not overwhelming. This is a breakfast/lunch spot with a nod to a Greek diner... lots of Greek options, normal breakfast fare and sandwiches. We sampled a typical breakfast of pancakes with bacon which was very good. Pancakes were fluffy and bacon crisp. Coffee is a huge disappointment however, it is very, very weak. Two of us sampled the Greek specialties... a gyro and a chicken souvlaki. Both were disappointing -- there was plenty of meat in both but chicken seriously under seasoned and not grilled much. The sandwiches, which typically have sliced onions and tomato salad, were lacking that crunch and acidity. Instead, they were covered in a very thick tzatziki. Again, the tzatziki lacked seasoning . It was way too thick, no discernible cucumbers or dill. Fries were outstanding. We shared a huge baklava which was delicious. Happy to give it another try because of the staff, location , vibe and baklava! read more

Homey, lovely early-AM breakfast spot just a block from the Downtown roundabout with no problem parking out front (metered but free before 8A) .. .. Friendly staff and delicious, fresh food .. .. Nothing fancy with just Eggs, bacon & potatoes but the fresh ingredients served piping-hot was wonderful .. .. Black pepper/honey coated bacon, fresh-cut spuds and perfect eggs .. .. yum .. .. THANKS HONEY BEE, I WILL BACK, A LOT!! read more

So we were in Gettysburg seeing the local historical sites and we stopped by Ernie's Texas lunch. Unfortunately, Ernie retired. The new restaurant is the honeybee. It is a definite must try location. The food was excellent, the service was outstanding and it was very clean inside which is one of the most important things I look for. If you're in Gburg, I suggest you stop here and have breakfast or lunch. On our first visit we had lunch and breakfast. It was so good we came back for breakfast the next morning. Delicious both times. read more

Opened the door it was crowded, big & loud. No thank you. Went to RAGGED EDGE instead. It was CozyCalm&Delicious

We tried out 3 breakfast spots while at a film festival. Clearly the winner. Enormous portions. VERY good service. We had eggs with corn beef hash and biscuits with gravy and coffees. A bit on the high side - $50 with tip - but likely worth it. read more

Great find in Gettysburg, the food is top shelf with unique twist to traditional classics. The ambiance is great and has a nice inviting feel in in the downtown area. The wait staff is fast and friendly and has made Honeybee's one of our top destinations for the area. It does get crowded and can be loud but we love it. read more

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! read more

Delicious food and super friendly service. So many great options on the menu and awesome coffee! Highly recommend the French toast.

Awesome breakfast and great service. The coffee was really good too. I got the specialty peach French toast, which was delicious. My husband got the pancake special and he said they were excellent. We would definitely return when in the area read more

Very clean.Great diner food! Highly recommend it.Only negative is that they close early

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! read more

It may look dark from the street but inside is a charming old fashioned interior that is so inviting. The serve came up immediately with water and coffee. After giving us an opportunity to study the extensive breakfast menu. I ordered the breakfast skillet of scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy topped with cheese, and home fries. The biscuits were light fluffy and ENORMOUS. The sausage gravy was perfect. I wasn't sure about the cheese on top but it was a tasty addition to the flavor. My friend ordered scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, and opted for the fruit bowl rather than home fries. Everything was delicious and the fruit was so fresh which, in March, is hard to do. Only warning...prices are low but servings are HUGE! Easily could have split my skillet and been stuffed! read more

This place is just so cute from the outside and inside. This place was busy and the staff were quickly taking care of everyone. Our food and coffee were delicious! Our server Hanna was awesome, very friendly and made sure she checked back with us multiple times. My wife and I will be going back again while we are in town. read more

Ive been here twice, first time was amazing, told everyone I knew about this place. I go back, I order the same breakfast sandwich and not nearly as good as. Asked for fried onions and what came MIGHT have just been slightly cooked, not like the first time. This alone wouldn't call for a 2 star maybe a 3. The reason for a 2 star and likely why i wont be back, is the pricing. Not the meals, those are fine, but i ordered a side of sausage gravy, pretty mediocre in taste and portion. $6 for less than a cup of gravy? i assumed at that price it came with a biscuit, does not. So I asked my waiter for 1 biscuit, got that and ate my meal. Fine meal, not great but fine. I get the bill.....$6 for less than a cup of gravy, $4 for a single biscuit and charge me $5 for a single fountain soda that was honestly pretty flat. I don't argue about the bill ever, I just paid and left. This would have been cheaper for me to just buy the whole skillet meal at that point, but this buisness decided to make stupid profit off the sides and not get a returning customer.....great choices. Grand total of $62 for 2 person breakfast...felt scammed. read more

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. read more

The Honeybee Restaurant was a delightful find for an amazing breakfast. Our waitress, Hope , was so helpful and kind. Everything we ordered was delicious and served prompt and hot ! The Greek frittata with taziki sauce and fresh fruit was amazing. Their muffins were fresh and huge. Our son had the red velvet waffles with cream cheese drizzle and fresh blueberries . So yummy. read more

Food (breakfast) was good. Service was excellent and professional. I will say it was an expensive breakfast. $50.00 breakfast for two is little expensive. It was good but expensive. read more

This diner is fabulous. Particularly the honeybee bacon. I got the Greek salad with the gyro meat. It was huge. My spouse got the egg sandwich and it was also huge. We've been here a few times now and every time we've been very impressed. Shout out to Julian from Romania. He was a rockstar waiter. read more

This is a cute place that's great for a nice breakfast. The fare is pretty standard; it's what you'd expect at most diners for a good breakfast. Not a lot really stood out, and the portions were a little on the smaller side compared to most other diners we went to, but I'd describe as reliably decent. As my brother would say, "Good, not great." It's also in a busy area, so expect a wait. read more

We took a quick day trip to Gettysburg when working in Mechanicsburg. We found this place. Honeybee is a gem in Gettysburg -- the kind of place that feels warm and inviting the second you walk in. The food is fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and clearly made with love. It's the kind of menu that balances comfort with creativity, and everything we tried felt like it had that homemade touch. Our group really locked in on those omelets. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which added to the relaxed, small-town charm. It's easy to see why locals recommend it, and it makes for a perfect stop whether you're just passing through or staying in town. Overall, Honeybee captures exactly what you hope to find in a local restaurant: quality food, welcoming atmosphere, and the sense that you've discovered something special. Also... Save room for dessert -- their sweet offerings are worth it. read more

We are here for breakfast. The food was amazing as well as the service. Very clean and great atmosphere

You have to try their coleslaw! Dottie was one of the sweetest waitresses ever! Everything was clean.

What a great find. An early Sunday morning and Honeybee was hopping. The service folks were so nice. The menu was so fun and it was tough to choose what to eat. In the end, eggs with potatoes and bacon won out. Such a great find. read more

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. read more

Disappointing experience at Honeybee Restaurant. My salad was, frankly, lazy--two uncut chicken strips laid on top, a handful of uncut cherry tomatoes, oversized shavings of carrot, and what felt like a quarter of a raw white onion tossed in. I don't expect to have to cut a salad at a restaurant. Someone else in our group ordered a burger that was forgettable at best. My wife ordered the biscuits and gravy, only to be told 10 minutes later that they were out--forcing her to choose something else entirely. Worse than the food, though, was the service. Our waitress didn't seem remotely interested in being there--no warmth, no attentiveness, and no effort to make the experience enjoyable. All in all, we won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend Honeybee to others. There are better options in Gettysburg. read more

I ordered a breakfast sandwich with egg, ham, and cheese. I could only eat half of it! They try to say hello as soon as you enter and the waitresses are very friendly and helpful. Try them, I think you'll be happy. read more

The cheesecake French toast was so good! They were busy but the service was so great, highly recommend!

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. read more
