    Fish and Chips, Pork Schinetzel, Bacon & Mushroom quiche, Beer Flight, Strawberry Macha Latte for Brunch

    Had a wonderful brunch experience at The Hive Kitchen and Bar. We come to Orland yearly to camp at a nearby Buckhorn Campground and this was our first time dining here and will surely be coming back...Unique nice ambiance, great food and friendly staff especially our server for the day - Betty, you're the best! Make sure to check their Bee hive and Souvenir store for their organic Honey and cap

    Chicken Marsala with seasonal veggies, mashed potatoes, and enormous mushroom slices.

    A wonderful local offering in the small town of Orland. We decided to drive over from Chico to celebrate our weekly Wed-niversary - we got married on a Wednesday and we have a date on every Wednesday. Last night it was 4 years, 7 months, and 28 days. We always share this story with our server(s). We'd been there for lunch but this was our first dinner. First and most importantly, Hannah and Lucia were just wonderful. Friendly, professional and listened to all of our stories and shared a few of their own. For the most part, the meal was incredible. The Brussles Sprouts the best we've had. Big sprouts with feta, bacon,Hawiian honey crusted walnuts and a little spice. We'll never forget. My cocktail the Pomegrante Lemoncello Lemon Drop was luscious. Served straight-up in a martini glass sans ice. Thank you very much! I had the lettuce wraps for my entree (lettuce cups filled with sweet, spicy & tangy slaw, crushed won-ton strips, soy herb chicken breast) - again, the best - and shared one with my huband! Excellent portion, I brought two home. My husband had the Chicken Marsala. The mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and seasonal vegetable were wonderful. But the Chicken was lacking in flavor - no essence of the Marsala - we both agreed. I had also ordered some Hive-made pickles - they need more pickling spices and some crunch. One other small matter was that our table was off blance (the two-top by the sidedoor that looks out on the side street). We did let Hannah and Lucia know about all of these good and bads. Hope they shared the hiccups with management. We enjoy The Hive and Orland. The hiccups won't keep us from coming back.

    We loved The Hive! My girlfriend lives in Redding and I'm in Dixon. We met up at The Hive in Orland for dinner. It was the first time for me and I fell in love with it! The ambience is adorable, yet upscale. We were approached by a hostess and when she found out it was our first time, she gave us a mini-tour and background explanation. She sat us at a table for 2 and we were able to chat comfortably. We ordered pretty quickly and then our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered the Brussels Sprouts to share and Mara got the Cobb Salad and I ordered the Steak Salad. The Brussels Sprouts was delicious. Perfectly sweet and a little spicy with a crunch! Both our salads were filling and tasty. The bread and honey butter were a great start to the meal. The entrance to the bathroom is outside, so keep that in mind in inclement weather. Overall, this was a super fun experience and we highly recommend it!!

    Chilaquiles
    Anjanette S.

    This was my first time at The Hive. My friends & family have raved about it for at least a year. I met my son & GF for brunch & was not disappointed. We sat at the VERY large/long bar with THE most comfortable seats. My son had Gorgonzola burger & fries, GF had bacon-cheese burger & fries & I had really good chilaquiles! The only less than perfect was I ordered over medium eggs & I got well done eggs, which would have helped with the spice level. The chilaquiles were still great, I can't say that for other places I've had them. The bartender, Evan was our server, he was fun & great service. He made a great expresso martini as well. Highly recommend whether you're driving up or down I-5 for a meal. They were quick!

    Stuffed French toast
    Denise T.

    Another lovely meal in Orland. Tried brunch menu this time and enjoyed the rich stuffed French toast. The cream cheese filling was sweet and rich with that honey flavor. The brioche bread was the perfect compliment without feeling like it was just bread. Perfect crispness on the bacon too. Salty to set off the sweet syrup. My server, Betty, was super friendly too.

    Chilaquiles special
    Anna T.

    Great place to stop on a road trip! Unique and yummy. Worth the price in my opinion. I had the chilaquiles special, which was really flavorful and well done. It had meat cooked along with the chips and the sauce was really rich. My husband had the Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was very good. Again, very good quality ingredients. My kids had the chocolate chip pancakes and grilled cheese. I like that breakfast was still available for lunch. The pancakes were really delicious, I did help him finish those pancakes. They had a cute gift shop area with some different honey products but the highlight for my family was the bee observatory. That was so cool! And my kids were mesmerized. There were other parts to the restaurant we didn't try, including a café, a case of pastries. If I was local, this should be a regular spot for me. Staff were all very personable and attentive, and I was greeted by a number of people. The building doesn't look like much from the road, it's a bit hidden, but the interior and exterior of it were all recently updated and very modern. Will keep the Hive in mind for any road trips that bring us through this area. Very cute touch to get Honeysticks when we got the bill. Thank you!

    It's me just letting you know The Hive  is my Fav Place in town
    Christina M.

    Every time I've gone to Hive, I've had nothing but I still are experience anytime my friends or family are in town. We go here for Sunday morning brunch. I've had flowers delivered. I purchased, honey. I've got cupcakes from the bakery and picked up Epic food whenever I did not feel like cooking. The staff are super friendly. The ambience is upbeat and chic, menu has high-quality ingredients and we love their champagne. Flights don't forget to look for local bands in special evenings when the wine is discounted or you can listen to live music we need more places like this in town.

    Brussel sprouts.., so delicious!
    Jacquelyn M.

    Delicious 11th Anniversary Dinner! The new fall menu was delicious. We had three starters and two entrées. We LOVED the Brussel Sprouts! Perfectly balanced and cooked. We've been to so many places where they get the brussels sprout wrong . The food looked artistic and plated well. The only negative I would say is the honey walnut shrimp sauce was a little bit too sweet. I personally didn't want to finish the quinoa on the bottom due to the sweetness. The fall flatbread is a very shareable starter. Our server was attentive. It was a busy night and he was hustling. I couldn't decide on what kind of wine I wanted. He was so kind and brought me the choice I thought I wanted and another one to sample. Love the atmosphere. It wasn't too loud. The bee theme is tastefully done . Loved the hive style lighting. We dessert home! Can't wait to take bite of the cheesecake & trifle we got

    Their food is pretty whatever but it's a super cool shop in general lol They have a chocolatier, bakery, souvenir shop (with honey, tshirts, etc) with their restaurant. There was a panel with bees inside too, which was interesting to see while waiting for food. They did a fantastic job with the interior design as well, very modern and bee themed Servers were nice and there was plenty of street parking.

    This rating is based on two recent experiences. The first was a catering order I placed over the phone for delivery to a residential address. I think (Mindy) was her name and she was very easy to coordinate with, gave suggestions, pricing, and the delivery was right on time. I heard lots of great things about the food but I couldn't try it as I am allergic (ordered wings, garlic bread, potato salad). The 2nd was an in-person visit. Pros were that the server was very friendly, the place was cute and large, nice portions and good variety. The actual service was extremely slow. We had a reservation for 5 and were seated promptly. It took 45 mins for our food to arrive and they had put cheese in my omelette when I asked for no cheese. Took another 25 mins to get a new omelette. Took another 15 mins to get 2 pieces of dessert for the kids. We were comped half of my omelette price but really? At that point just give it free. Food itself was good. So a solid 3.5 star experience. One of the better places in town though I'm sure.

    My boyfriend and I were hungry and wanted to stop and to get breakfast after a long 7 hours drive and we luckily found this amazing breakfast spot !!! Food was Good , my boyfriend got the chilaquiles 7/10 Mexican mocha 10/10 . I got the seasonal French toast 9/10 The service was good , Chelia was an amazing server, she helped us alot and was very sweet .

    They have great craft cocktails. Fabulous food. Dinner was excellent. If you go for breakfast, the breakfast sandwich is the best I've ever had. Excellent service!

    It is my daughter's birthday and this was her choice to have her first legal drink. This is the crown jewel of Orland, what a beautiful spot. It has a spot where they sell honey, a coffee bar, restaurant and well stocked bar too. The staff is super knowledgeable and very professional, they really make sure you are having a good time. There are several separate venues where you can have large or small gatherings, it is a one stop shop for fun. You can see live bees or their bee display too that is super cool and well worth the visit. The food was tremendous, artsy and healthy with great portion size. I got a bite of everything and was super impressed. I chose the fried chicken and it. This is one place you all need to try.

    Never Made It Inside - Poor Wait Time Management…read more We were really looking forward to trying this place for the first time, but unfortunately never got to eat here. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday and were told the wait would be 45 minutes to 1 hour. We understood it was busy and put our name down. After waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes, we checked back in, only to be told they had no idea when we'd be seated. We gave it another 10 minutes, but still no timeline or update. I completely understand that restaurants get slammed and wait times can be unpredictable. What was frustrating wasn't the wait itself - it was the lack of honest communication. If it was going to be a 1.5-2 hour wait, just tell us upfront so we can make an informed decision about our evening. Honestly, the host seemed to have forgotten about us as she seemed surprised and scrolled way down the list to find our name even though we were "top of the list". After waiting over 1.5 hours with no end in sight and getting increasingly hungry, we had to leave and grab food elsewhere. With three hosts working, I would have expected better expectation management than what we experienced tonight. I hope this was just an off night, but we left disappointed and hungry.

    Visited August 2nd..see receipt…read more Before checking out Walmart in Willows for some candles I thought I would try this place. It has an Asian fusion menu with some interesting choices. I ordered the burger with avocado and bacon that came with waffle fries along with the chicken satay appetizer. The burger was cooked nicely and it tasted good. I had them cook the bacon alittle more since I like it alittle crispy. Bun was not warm but still tasted fresh. The chicken satay is always my "go to" at some of my favorite Thai restaurants. The peanut sauce is always included in the meal. The chicken was cooked nicely and was very tasty. I was shocked to see on my bill that they charged me an extra 2.50 for the peanut sauce that is supposed to be included in the price. Thus not 5 stars. The owner offered to refund me the 2.50 ( i declined) but I think it's important to have full transparency on what you are assuming is included per the menu description. The wait staff ( including the bartender) were very pleasant and professional. The inside is clean and bathroom was spotless. They have a full bar and have regular seating and bar seating. They also have happy hour on certain days. I would probably eat here again in the future if I am driving through on highway 5.
