Positive: Food was good quality and made fresh. Negatives: It wasn't the most flavorful meals. Service was friendly but slow getting the food. The servers were also very busy/overworked so there was no checking back with you. We had to flag our server down to get mayo for a sandwich. Overall, ok but other places may be better. read more

I loved this place so much and I'm so sad I have to drive 2 1/2 hrs to ever go again the BEST eggs benny I HAVE EVER HAD! And it wasn't even on the menu, you just ask and if they happen to have the hollandaise then it's your lucky day. I like that you choose your potato and can get homefries or hashbrowns. Everyone was so friendly, food came up quick and the coffee cup was never empty! This is a must go if you are in the area! read more

See all

When i say local, i mean local! Absolutely loved mingling with the locals here. They knew we were from somewhere different, especially me, . Typical diner with local humor and gentle ribbing with the great comfort food was great. read more

Very reasonably priced comfort food in a comfortable place. The kind of place all the locals know one another but are cordial with travelers. read more

FOOD IS OK. I ordered fish 3 times on fish day. The owner told us she sold out. We came early around noon. I will never go there again IT IS NOT THE GREATEST BREAKFAST. Quite greasy. read more

I was recommended this restaurant for breakfast, and I really wanted to like it, but I fell short for me. It was a little crowded when I came in, which forced me to sit rather awkwardly on display in the middle of the room at bar stool counters. The wait staff was pleasant, prompt, and friendly, which is probably the only redeeming quality my experience had. The decor was very cute, the place has a certain charm, but it seems like it is set up for more of a meeting spot to sit and chat for older patrons. I ordered pancakes, two pieces of sausage, and hash browns covered in gravy. The pancakes were a bit flavorless, the sausage was as good as any you can find anywhere else, but the hashbrowns were crunchy and undercooked, swimming in too much bland gravy. Part way into my meal a man made himself comfortable in the seat directly beside me, making me very uncomfortable, and kept coming around me to pick up and put down a many from where they were stored beside me at the very end seat. I'm not usually unfriendly, but the seats are very close together and when someone sits directly beside you and you don't know them it can really take away from your comfortability. I would recommend just waiting for a table if you decide to try the place out. I personally don't think I will be back. read more

A page from Norman Rockwell's Americana. Great food, great value, friendly service, and a comfortable environment. We had some basic breakfast dishes and they did not disappoint. Literally half the price of our hotel breakfast and better read more

Good food friendly people good service and best place to go for breakfast and meet friends.

Local, small business with excellent food and service! Huge breakfast menu... deliciously different!

This little diner in Geneva is a hidden gem. They have the best food and the best prices. The staff is friendly, attentive and always on point. The owner Irene is charismatic, energetic and personable. You really need to go there and if you do, you'll definitely definitely be back again and again and again. read more

We had a delicious breakfast...just like momma used to make! Staff was friendly and efficient. Strongly recommend!! read more

We stop here on our way to GOTL all the time. Whether it's breakfast or lunch, it never disappoints. The waitresses are super friendly and the food is always made fresh to order. read more

Fine, cozy breakfast/lunch place right off th center of town. They advertise home-made, so plan to wait for food made to order. Still, didn't seem any longer than usual. I had a half order of biscuits and gravy, and this was a substantial portion, and definitely a tasty homemade entry. My wife had a cup of Italian Sausage soup, full of home made goodness, and a cold meatloaf sandwich. Very good to her, though I'm not inclined to appreciate cold meat loaf as one might cold pizza. But she had an awful meat loaf the night before, so was bound and determined to replace that taste in her mouth. The waitresses were standouts and called their regulars by name. One grizzled looking guy with an eyepatch shuffled in and sat down slowly. He could have been Robert Shane's brother from JAWS, the wily captain you could charter to go out after the monster walleye on the lake. V two waitresses stopped briefly to sit and talk with him. Solid place for lunch, with an O shaped counter where waitresses held court over their 6-7 senior males. Take time to walk off lunch break ducking into shops and antiques stores all within a 50 yard radius. read more

Great little place to stop for breakfast. The staff were so friendly. Had an egg, bacon and cheese sandwich on a biscuit with some hash brown potatoes. Prices were very good. It hit the spot! read more

Cute little diner in downtown Geneva. Breakfast is very reasonably priced and the portions are good. Service was slow but it was crazy busy and appeared short staffed. read more

Typical local diner. Food is good but lacks that little extra to make it special. The corn beef hash is done correctly and tasty, but it is straight from the can to the griddle. Same issue with the hash browns. Potatoes grilled, that's it. Would love to see a little attention and personalization. This is a decent diner with great potential to go much farther. Until then, a good spot for a homemade meal if you are already in the area. read more

We had a really great brunch after church here last Sunday. Quick service and excellent food!

Nice little spot in Geneva. Food was served quickly and tasted great. Very friendly staff.

Friendly service. Out of towner here for business. Hometown diner that does exactly what it should, simple meals done well that won't leave you hungry. Fried haddock sandwich with fries for $8.25. Picture tells the story. read more

Honeybees - Haddock sandwich and fries $8.25. - New American Near Me - Geneva, Ohio

Always Extremely Excellent Food at GREAT PRICES and Very Nice Waitresses and Staff Never have I had a Bad meal there Always Outstanding!!!!!

Quaint, very friendly small town mom and pop eatery. They serve breakfast all day so we had breakfast for lunch. Really good biscuits and gravy (not packaged gravy so that alone will almost always get you five ) eggs and potatoes really good but bacon and sausage I've had better. Just traveling thru but I'd eat here again. read more

Closed-I think permanently? We were looking forward to trying it. I hope it wasn't another tragedy of the pandemic.

I have been looking for a perfect breakfast spot and since I'm not too familiar with the area my mom and dad found this cozy brunch establishment. It has everything your looking for and more. More old school no alcohol here which is actually better. The coffee is tasty and the food is out of this world. Try the specials they never seem to disappoint. read more

Excellent business, very welcoming during COVID. The food of course was once again fantastic for the money. Service was cheerful fast.

Everything we had was great. The best Eggs Benedict I ever had, and a pretty good single pork chop were perfectly complemented by a bean and ham soup. Others had the country fried steak, which I tried and was also very good. Freshly made cole slaw was tasty. The prices were very low, disproportionate with the quality of the food. Service was very friendly and engaging. If I lived in Ohio I would come here all the time. read more

Best Rueben I've ever eaten! Traveling and found online. Was a bit out of the way but so worth it.

We stopped for breakfast while staying in the area and wanted a casual breakfast. This is a place that is frequented by local because the minute we walked in everyone stopped eating and stared at us. We found a table and the server was friendly and quickly got us coffee. I ordered the eggs Benedict special with home fries and my husband had scrambled eggs with has browns and toast. The food came quickly and my eggs Benedict were very good. Poached eggs were done perfectly and the Canadian bacon was tasty. The only disappointment was the potatoes. This isn't a problem for just this restaurant, it is one for all restaurants that makes an enormous pile of potatoes and leave them sitting on the grill. When you get the potatoes, half are cold because they were on top and the bottom ones are overdone. My husband felt the same way about his hash browns. His scrambled eggs were good and the toast was actually toasted. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Honeybees - a man standing in a restaurant - New American Near Me - Geneva, Ohio

awesome small town restaurant. service is topnotch and food is wonderfullly delicious!

My wife and I were looking for a nice diner to grab breakfast. We are staying at The Lodge at Geneva on the Lake, but no local cafes or diners were open in the immediate area, so we were lucky enough to find Honeybees. The waiting staff was very friendly, food was delicious, and the pricing is superb for dish sizes. We'll definitely be back, highly recommend! read more

Once again we return to Honeybeed while in Geneva for A10 swimming championships. Great little local dinner serving breakfast the old fashioned way- lots of good food at great prices. Good coffee, smiling servers. Happy to give it 5 stars read more

Great place for breakfast, staff is very friendly and they are quick. I wish they were open a little earlier than 6:00 am during the week as I am early riser for work. Would be nice to be able stop in for a bite before work. read more

Good food at a reasonable price. Service was very good. I had an omelette (they offer breakfast all day) and it was excellent (order homefries not hash browns). My wife had a patty melt cheese which she enjoyed, although a little disappointed that chips did not come with it. Atmosphere is like all small town family restaurants. read more

Typical small town diner. I love going there for breakfast. Pretty cheap and good food. Parking is in the back! read more

Yummy fish and chips for lunch great prices friendly staff! Would recommend highly! The fish was huge and sweet potato fries so good.

Honeybees is great. We were staying in Geneva on the Lake for the weekend and found this spot. Server was awesome and the food was delicious and fast. Home fries were amazing. Will definitely go back. read more

I'm a fan of diners. There is something comforting about a local place that offers the basics for lunch, dinner and breakfast -- and perhaps there is a specialty dish or two thrown in for good measure. We were in the area for a family gathering at Geneva on the Lake so my sister and I ditched the buffet breakfast at the Lodge for home cooking. Sis loved her omelete, hash browns and toast while I enjoyed by scramble eggs, biscuit and home fries. The coffee was good and refilled often with a friendly smile. Friendly, busling and filling. A diner in the finest sense of the word. read more

Get your wine on and then for a "get back on your feet" breakfast the next day get your grub on at the bee! The waitress was a breath of fresh air and the food was reminiscent of moms cooking back in the day. Will be back on next wine adventure. read more

I love Diners and I love supporting local spots. We were greeted and service was quick. I loved their french toast and home fries. If u r expecting a 5 star experience, this is not the place for u. I do recommend if u want a quick, low cost alternative to big franchises ;) read more
