Very cute little diner! Amazing food with free coffee! Staff is very friendly. Went here with a friend and we shared strawberry Nutella crepes with some sausage links! Perfect serving for two people!

Nice little restaurant for breakfast in St. John Indiana. The food was good. They have a nice selection and I understand when you have a lot of people in the restaurant. It does get noisy and there’s not much you can do about that. I will return.

First, to echo what others have said, Honey Bee Pancake House is quiet, clean, inviting, and friendly. I had the red velvet french toast; the menu describes it as "sinful," which is a gross understatement. This french toast needs to be the 8th deadly sin. You might think, "wait, wouldn't this fall under gluttony?" No. It wouldn't. This is in a category on its own. The Bible needs to be updated. I live about 45 minutes away but I would drive back here just for the red velvet french toast. I'd wait hours to eat it. In fact, I could commit heinous crimes just to have the opportunity to eat it again (for legal reasons, this is a joke). The Bs&G we're also delicious, and the bacon was fantastic. I asked for it crispy, and they nailed it. Do yourself a favor and eat here.

This place was so nice. I went in for a quick breakfast meal. Was seated immediately and waited on immediately. The waitress was great and helped me with questions I had about the menu. I had a waffle, eggs, and sausage, and fresh squeeze orange juice. The orange juice was so delicious and the pricing isn't bad. I will definitely be visiting this place again

First time there. Very nice and bright place. Staff was wonderful and food excellent. With our take-out meal the bill was $60 for four and we all had leftovers. Definitely going back.

Very impressed all around. Just moved into town and this was recommended by a family friend. Coming in, the waiting area was full and the restaurant was full. I was told 15 minute wait for 2 people and they were spot on. 15 minutes later I had a super clean booth and was already having coffee. The food portions were pretty big and absolutely perfect all around. I mean seriously this place has amazing food, portions, and prices. Also their coffee has got to be some of the best coffee brewed I've have in a very long time. I know it wasn't the creamer or sugar because I have the same brands all the time. Whatever they're brewing is chefs kiss. Such a great experience. The people are so friendly. Love it here. The only downside is it gets a little crowded but that just speaks on how much people love this place.
