Honey’s at Station 26
Casual dining in retrofitted train cars? Does anyone ever voluntarily enter a train for its food? Honey’s, taking over the former Salted Rim spot, is open for all three meals in this unique dining setting, but it is hard to believe anyone takes it seriously as a fine dining destination, let alone for dinner. The menu largely caters to a breakfast and brunch crowd, and Honeys delivers only if you stick with the usual breakfast staples. Venturing to the sandwiches and entree side of the menu is fraught with culinary risk, however, as even the salads are bland and taste fresh out of the industrial-sized plastic bag they likely were delivered in by the Sysco truck the day before. Portions are large at Honey’s, perhaps to mask the frailty of taste, and so is the time families typically wait to be seated and served at this perennially under-staffed restaurant. Honey’s also boasts a casual bar that is not located in one of its two train seating options, but doubtful it gets too much action because the restaurant targets families who care more about a wide variety of brunch menu options than fine cooking and drinking. If you must visit, keep the toddlers happy with chocolate chip pancakes, and mom and dad will find something else to pass for breakfast or lunch.
