Tonight kicked off the first dinner service for Honey Bee Bakery.
The new dinner offering will take the place of breakfast during the week (brunch will still be available on the weekends until 2:00 p.m.) and includes a selection of soups, salads, small plates and large plates. Dishes such as the bruschetta, topped with local tomatoes, olive oil and basil can lead you into a salad with sundried cherries, baked goat cheese and chopped bacon before you wrap things up with a main course such as pan-fried tilapia, flat iron steak or Peruvian potato empanadas.
Honey Bee Bakery’s new hours are Tuesday 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Wednesday through Friday 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (during open hours lunch is 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and dinner is 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.)
Tried Honeybee again for Lunch on Friday and it was great. Great service and great food at a reasonable price and then tried it for dinner on Saturday night and again great food and great service. If I was to gripe at all it would have to be about the music which was terrible. I will loan them an I-POD if they need it AND also the fact that they do not have cloth napkins for dinner. PLEASE NO PAPER NAPKINS FOR DINNER…………Sent some people there for brunch on Sunday and they were NOT HAPPY because the restaurant was understaffed and it took a very long time for the food to come out. AT LEAST THEY HAD WINE TO DRINK WHILE THEY WERE WAITING. Always a guessing game on how many people will show up when you are trying something new but a football weekend. HAVE ANOTHER STAFF MEMBER ON CALL………………All in all a great little restaurant and the chef and owner and staff are very friendly and the food is good and did I mention you can take your own wine. PLEASE GET SOME DIFFERENT MUSIC AND CLOTH NAPKINS……………………..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AS THE RESTAURANT IS A GEM IN THE MAKING……………….
I had the enchiladas this evening & feel fairly certain they were the most flavorful I’ve eaten in Oxford — there wasn’t too much cheese, the potatoes weren’t overly sweet, & the bell peppers were plentiful & cooked to a tender, still slightly crunchy texture. I did expect larger (or at least more moderately sized) enchiladas for a total of $17.44, & the to-go box was leaking when it was brought out to me. Honey Bee does provide paper bags, which in this case, was needed. I’m looking forward to trying several of the smaller plates/salads, as they seem more reasonably priced.
Tried honey bee for lunch and OMG what a great soup and sandwich. Great price and great service and you can take your own wine. I AM IN HEAVEN. Will try dinner next weekend. Thanks for the info on this gem. Everyone needs to try this restaurant as I was telling the staff they undercharged us for lunch. Used to city grocery prices not that city grocery is expensive but honey bee is a steal and did I mention you can take your own wine.

If they get business with those prices for those items, then this town is full of folks with more money than sense.
I agree with Louis…sounds delicious, but those prices are too high. Many (most) places in Oxford are over priced as-is, but these seem to be well on the high side, at least for the portion sizes I’m imagining.
20$ for 5oz pork?….18$ for fish tacos?…….they might want to rethink their prices
Point very well taken Louis, I didn’t even look at the prices. Thanks for pointing that out to [some] of us
The thought of walking into a bakery and spending $24 for a plate of food is kinda incongruous, I guess I haven’t been to a bakery in NYC in quite a while. Well, it’s a brandy new menu, perhaps the price-points will be adjusted down later.
On a completely off-the-wall, but somewhat related topic, the current trend of writing everything in lower-case letters to be hip & kewl, has gotta be turned around. I mean, one single little itty-bitty harmless Initial Cap at the beginning of each line would make that menu sooo much easier to read. Case-justified typography is our friend, the Greeks invented it, it’s inherently and eternally cool. Express your style and flair in a more creative way than lower-case letters, how boring, yawwwn.
