Honey B’s II

Cute diner, if you are in the area and George Webbs just doesn’t do it for ya then Honey B’s is the place to go. Definitely a place with its fair share of regulars, the food is tasty the service is friendly. Atmosphere is welcoming and in the summer they have a large patio that is quite enjoyable.

This place is so full of character, it makes you feel like you are at your Grandma’s house (well, not MY Grandma’s house, but somebody’s Grandma’s house) — loads of kitschy décor and overall laid back atmosphere. We’ve been a handful of times now (in 2016), and each time the service has been outstanding, with no wait time. The menu is HUGE, and items on the menu are fairly priced /​affordable. There are many great breakfast specials to pick from. The hashbrowns are to die for — perfectly crispy on the outside. I’ve ordered the veggie omelette and was a bit disappointed in the quality of ingredients, but we’ve always left happy and full. There is some sort of cinnamon French toast that is absolutely delicious. I would definitely bring visitors here for a casual breakfast.

Let me start by saying this was on of best places on the north side for a quick bite but I’m not sure what happen lately the food have been horrible. And they shorten the hours. I’m sure it not long before the close all together. It really too bad but after 3 bad meals I’m done for good.

They fixed their sign about a month ago.
We went back. Food was still below average for the price. Our waitress, Chris, wasn’t at all good about filling up drinks and was actually quite unfriendly. Ugh. Was hoping to post some thing positive besides «they fixed their sign».

I loved this place… I would even consider myself a regular… Until I took my visiting family here. Hollandaise sauce was overdone. Bananas foster was burnt. Crepes tasted like salt? When I went to pay the bill I told the manager how displeased I was. Her response was ‘I’ll notify the kitchen’… No apology… Nothing. Bad guest service indeed. I won’t be returning.

I have had two very pleasant meals at Honey B’s! Both made me feel like I was on vacation, especially last weekend when the deck was open. The servers are friendly, and the red potatoes are fantastic! The combo plate with half a BLT and a Greek salad was superb. I hope to return for a Friday fish fry, and am glad that I’ll be able to have a glass of wine to go along with it!

The restauran is filthy. Dark and food ALL over the floor. Everywhere. What does the kitchen look like ??? Expensive. Hostess was not friendly. Waitress was nice. Would not go back. Never. They need to shut down for a weekend and paint and deep clean.

We came for breakfast on a Friday morning. Not too busy, but a decent enough crowd. The service was okay, nothing outstanding. The décor, average, nothing special. The food, eggs cooked to order; my toast, not quite toasted enough; the hash browns, not quite browned enough; the steak, appropriately done as I requested. My wife’s breakfast order … about the same as mine, but no steak, just sausage. Her toast was toasted to her liking and her hash browns were browned to her liking as well. The waitress asked if we wanted our toast wet (buttered) or dry (not buttered.) We did not want the toast buttered ahead of time. We would rather do that ourselves. Most places bring butter with the toast. Here, we had to ask after getting the toast without butter on the side. It’s a good thing we noticed the lack of butter when the waitress brought the toast since we didn’t see her again until after we were done eating. Will we come back? Maybe, maybe not. The food and service were acceptable.

Have no idea how you can screw up breakfast. But this place does. Skillet was so greasy I only ate ½. Potatoes were old n pancakes tasted like frozen. English muffin my wife had was stale. Stay away.

It’s a diner– overall food was good. Waitstaff could use some training– reaching over people to give them their food is not good etiquette. Trash can in bathroom was overflowing– which tells me they don’t check on a regular basis. Small things to be improved– if give it a solid 3– good place for diner food and ease of dining.

Arrived July 5^th at a busy time, the tail end of the brunch rush. Wait for table of six was 25 minutes, which was ok, and we were seated by noon. Beverages were slightly delayed, but the worst was that we didn’t get our food order (five egg dishes and one salad) delivered to the table until 12:59. Expressed displeasure to manager who at first just looked at me, and then after I reiterated that a one hour wait was unacceptable, she hesitantly offered to adjust the bill, which I declined as it really didn’t feel like she cared. Not going back again.

Service was fast and friendly. Food is super cheap and is good/​average diner food. Definitely better than IHOP. I always like to support local businesses. I’d come here again. The only downfall is the radio static coming from the speakers!

Food excellent and varied. Wait staff very attentive and one of those places in Racine that has anytime breakfast food. Bananas Foster French Toast is just one of their highlights.
Regular Lunch selections as well as dinner staples. The red skinned potatoes are delicious with any meal.

WARNING: if you want a restaurant with mediocre food, HORRIBLE service, and WORSE management-​come here! We felt the bad attitude the moment we walked in. We got seated in a dark dingy back room with a horrendous fly problem! The manager wouldn’t even talk to us and the waitress gave us the WORST attitude! I was served a dish that looked SO BAD that I didn’t even put my fork on the plate! They re-​made it but charged me for BOTH! I wouldn’t send my worst enemy here! STAY AWAY!

Agree with all comments on the décor. I went on a Saturday around 8pm. We were the only ones there, and it appeared they were already packing up for the night. Kind of weird as when we went in, you can see the cook behind the counter doing his nothing, because he had nothing to do but fool around. Kind of a turnoff. Other than that, the service was good and attentive. The food came out hot, which was a plus. I had a reuben which was so-​so. Bread was way greasy and soggy, huge downfall. Vodka mixer was delicious and well poured. Always a plus!
My mom likes the place, so she is the only reason i would be back, but I do have a few friends who stand by them 100% as a great place. Prices seem a little high on the dinners and lunches for quality. I also agree with the presentation comments, that they work hard to make that seen.

Just… well… a diner.
Greasy food, ok service, 80’s décor.
The pancakes were good!
Yep. That’s all.

Good, cheap, diner food. Came in one morning and got the chicken fried steak skillet with two eggs over red potatoes and choice of toast for $ 5.99. The coffee was really cheap tasting, but it is a diner afterall.

This place is a quick minute from my office and I’ve gone here a couple of times for lunch. When I’ve brought «outsiders» here I usually warn, «This place looks like a hot mess, but the food is great!»
I’m not a restaurateur, but if I owned this place, I would make some serious changes in regards to the décor but it does have a certain greasy spoon je né sais quoi. I can never tell if the hokey-​ness is part of the reason why I like this place or part of the reason this place will never be more than 3 stars to me.
The food is surprisingly good, however. It’s very uncomplicated comfort food and exactly what you’d expect from a corner diner. I notice that Honey B’s’ pays more attention to presentation than most diner-​type restaurants. I appreciate the extra effort the kitchen takes in plating meals and there are quite a few little surprises like a crab cake eggs Benedict that is way better than what I’d expect from a restaurant in this category.
(And, no, I have no clue where the original Honey B’s is or if it even exists.)

If I ever return to Wisconsin, I will make it a point to do one, if not both, of the following things.
a.Return to Honey B’s II
b. Find the original Honey B’s.
It’s a fantastic Mom+Pop diner with all the Midwest charm I hoped for. The waitress was extremely accommodating and friendly. When one of the people I was eating with decided to change their order, my NY sensibility kicked in, and almost expected at least a roll of the eyes or a sigh from the waitress. But nothing. Just a perfectly polite and understanding response and a complete non-​issue.
The $ 3.99 breakfast specials are served from 6 – 11 and are more than enough for one person. 2 perfectly cooked over easy eggs, bacon, hash browns and two pieces of toast for $ 3.99.
Three of us at for $ 15. You can’t beat that.
Overall a fantastic diner in Racine, and just what I needed the morning after flying in to Milwaukee.

Honey B’s II* cooks up standard diner fare at excellent prices with friendly midwest service.
When we arrived at 11:10am, we were certain they were no longer offering the breakfast specials (available til 11am), but our waitress told us we could still order the specials without us even asking!
Food comes out quick! For $ 4.99 I got perfectly sunny-​side up eggs, well-​seasoned homefries, a thick slice of ham, and fluffy buttermilk pancakes!
Check them out! They’re «the bee’s knees!**»

**That’s THEIR catchphrase. I’m not that creative or corny.
