Absolutely everything was incredible! Just walking into this adorably decorated restaurant was already stimulating and beautiful. I loved the ambiance it put off instantly It feels homey and inviting. Food... I had the Londonian salad, with the honey vinegarett dressing. My husband had the pork burger with blackberry bacon jam. SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Their pickles are so yummy. We were sorry they didn't sell them Miss Shayleigh (sorry if it's spelled wrong) is an excellent server. Such a kind personality and she was very helpful to these old tourists. Looking forward to our sightseeing tomorrow Last and certainly not least, dessert... Their version of bread pudding was FOR ONCE, not a disappointment! Thank you for creating the most wonderful dessert. WOWZER!!!!!! ENJOY! read more

Ambiance was cool! It's downtown in an older building and decorated nicely with accents of old frames everywhere! Staff were friendly and attentive. Two of our appetizer plates had old food on them which was gross. I think they may need to check the dishwasher to make sure it is working correctly. The BLT was yummy. Both soups were extremely thick. The potato soup was basically mashed potatoes which I've never experienced before. Food had good flavor but very small portions for the price but that is fairly standard at brunch places. It was a nice enough experience but I probably wouldn't go back. They did provide a complementary dessert due to a birthday celebration which was a nice touch! read more

Okay, I'm going to put on my best southern accent.... Y'all this food was absolutely delicious and incredibly tasty. My wife had the Margarita pasta and small Londonian salad. The freshness of the salad was right from the garden and the homemade breadcrumbs jumped out with flavor. I had the large Pear Dream salad, so vibrant and tasty and a bowl of the corn chowder. The very best corn chowder I have ever had! This is now a regular stop for us when passing through London, KY. A little off of I75, but so incredibly worth it! Carrie was the most gracious and hospitable server and is a true asset along with the chef! Well done! read more

Super cute spot for brunch in downtown London. The food was a bit of a mixed bag when my group visited. I ordered the chicken & waffles, and they were perfect. My husband & BIL both got omelets. They both enjoyed the eggs but the hash browns were mushy & cold. Overall, we were satisfied with our meals, though, and the service was excellent (despite being pretty busy). read more

I ordered teriyaki chicken with rice and Brussels. Had to go back 2 times and still did not get the Brussels when I called about the chicken was told they no longer have teriyaki chicken and gave me a side of soy sauce. The food is bland not what I ordered after going back not once but twice still did not get the correct order was not told at the time of ordering they no longer had the teriyaki chicken. The food is way over priced. Customer service is just as horrible as the food do not recommend! read more

The Local Honey - Beautifully decorated. - Comfort Food Near Me - London, Kentucky

We love the ambiance of this downtown local restaurant Friendly people, homey decor, and yet eclectic at the same time. Service was top notch, Weordered the "Three for $13. and couldn't be happier. The chicken veggie soup was truly amazing with the consistency of a pot pie. Homemade and very flavorful. The "Londonaire salad was outstanding. Fresh local greens, freshly cooked bacon, hard boiled egg and finely shredded cheese laced with pickled red onion & the homemade dressing was a huge hit. The half chicken salad sandwich was plum full of chicken a nice slice of tomato & greens on fresh grilled bakerwas also a winner. It's a couple miles off the freeway but the drive was well worth it. read more

Very good brunch. Great selection. Prices are high but it's all good quality delicious food. The wait staff are extremely knowledgeable and nice. Coffee selection is not great. You can get drip coffee or you can get drip coffee. No espresso machine. Normally that's understandable but in a higher-end brunch like this, I expected to be able to order a cappuccino. We still had a wonderful breakfast/brunch. read more

A total waste of time. After making our order, we waited 43 minutes with no acknowledgement, no food, no refills, no nothing. And the place wasn't busy at all. There were very few customers there. Further, we made eye contact and said excuse you at least twice with someone just speeding by. I don't know about you but if a place isn't busy, it shouldn't take 43 minutes to get food. It certainly shouldn't be 43 minutes without acknowledgment or an update. read more

Wow!! I was super impressed from the moment that I walked in. I loved the decor and ambiance. The brunch menu has many options and everything looks so good. I ordered the Country Club Omelette with Gouda cheese. It came with the most delicious shredded potatoes. The local meats were excellent and I can't say enough about how much i loved the meal. I will drive down from Lexington just to come here. I can't wait to try more things on their menu. The owner was very busy and very friendly and came by the table to ask how our food was. What a great place! read more

Ambience is great. Honey Bee and Honey theme is well carried out. Had the smoked old fashioned which comes in a stoppered bottle and your self pour into your rocks glass. Great presentation. Had a side salad which came is a bee theme bowl. Smash burger was great with zippy sauce and homemade pickles. Would definitely return. Service was very attentive. We didn't visit but out back is some outdoor seating that looked very inviting. read more

In the area overnight for work, and thrilled to see such a high rated place on Main Street. Service was superb, and the manager/owner made his rounds to every table to say hello. Their smoked old fashion was quite lovely as well. I ordered the grilled chicken entree. The chicken was dry. It was so dry that my hand cramped up when I tried cutting into it with my knife and fork. Mashed potatoes were also dry. The flavor was there. A ton of herbs, garlic and salted really well. It was just so dry.... read more

Adorable little spot off of Main St in London. We were looking for a place to stop for lunch on our drive down 75 and this was perfect! About 8 min off the highway in a quaint little town square. The food is fresh and well seasoned with lots of good menu options. We had the chicken and dumplings soup and the Londoner salad as well as the Power Bowl with chicken. The service was quick and friendly! read more

Food was delicious. Fresh and flavorful- highly recommend. Unique menu; acorn soup was amazing. Service was great.

Vegetable soup was amazing. Bang bang shrimp wrap could do an upgrade on the shrimp, it was popcorn shrimp that was overcooked. Real/bigger shrimp would take it to a level that matches the restaurant. Excellent service!!! read more

What a disappointing experience for dinner tonight. We made reservations considering the holiday weekend. We arrived early. We were Sat timely, but noticed that the host was also bussing tables and was regularly behind in both duties. We ordered several appetizers for our party of just 4 people, myself, husband and two sons. The shrimp and Brussels were divine, cooked perfectly, and crispy. The spinach dip lacked severely. It was so dry with the amount of Parmesan and little cream, it was like a crust less quiche. I am so glad I ordered a half salad, the Londonian was marvelous and had everything I could ask for, it was savory and cheesy, the croutons were sweet which was actually delightful. However, we waited. And we waited. And since our seating at 7:40 pm it was now 9 pm. Our waitress had finally cleared the table of appetizer plates and asked if we were ok. Sure. We've been waiting forever for dinner but please don't delay it further. Too bad. While waitstaff also bartended, they forgot to put in our ticket for dinner. Needless to say we had it boxed up and left, our two children rarely have 2 hour dinner events. Upon arriving home with our packaged dinners and two free desserts, btw I had a cheesecake waiting for me at home, so that was senseless. I was pretty disappointed in the dinner, the boxing was thoughtless as the purple mashed potatoes were rolled into the green beans, no separate containers, along with the peaches that coated the pork chop. The pork chop was tender enough until the middle which was dry. The geeen beans would have been nice if not for the tornado disaster of packaging. Vegetable goulash is not a preference of mine. I want to add that the lighting in the back needs help. You have a gorgeous bar with nice warm lights and directly across are two tables with bright cool light that gives off migraine vibes. There's such a nice selection of music in the late evening, but you may get distracted with two tv's on the wall, one is playing SNL reruns. It feels like you're trying to please everyone and no one at the same time. Bathroom was clean for the ladies room and well attended to. I want so badly to ask one thing. Where was the manager on the night before Mother's Day? Not only are your customers frustrated but you totally neglected your staffing issues. read more

Thank you Adam for the great recommendation! What an amazing local gem! I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The staff was very friendly and explained everything. The food came out fast and hot. The vegetable gnocchi has loads of flavor. We were not planning on dessert, glad we decided to get the beignets. They came out warm and the sauce was super yummy. This is in an old frame shop. Some of the frames are part of the decor. Make the trip and stop by, you will not be disappointed. read more

Stopped in here while passing thru town. Adorable and cozy little spot. The food was delicious. A nice surprise stop!

The Fat Man recently went out of town for a work conference in London, KY. While I was there, I stopped at Local Honey for lunch. Local Honey says their food is made with love and fresh ingredients, especially for you. I had the Local Honey Bacon Board, which comes with hand-cut smoked Lardon, Sourdough toast, house jam, and soft cheese. This was dusted with powdered sugar. The bacon was thick-cut with a nice crunch and a good chew with an excellent salt level. I got a nice crunch with the toast, which was buttered well. The house jam was an elderberry jam that was sweet but not overpowering. The cheese was creamy with a hint of garlic tagging, and the chives were slightly bland but paired well with the salty bacon. When you put all the components together, it reminded me of a Monte Cristo sandwich. For my meal, I decided to try the Manhattan. This was prepared with slow-roasted beef, carrots, green beans, mashed potatoes, and brown gravy and served on Texas toast. The green beans and carrots were blanched and cooked with a little crunch but lacked seasoning. The roast beef was dry, chewy, and under-seasoned; however, I also detected a slight sweetness that was unfortunate. The gravy was creamy and smooth, with a good flavor and texture, but there was still sweetness. The mashed potatoes were seasoned perfectly and had large chunks of potatoes, giving texture to the dish. The toast on the bottom had a good crunch, and the amount of bread went well with the serving size. Combining the toast, potatoes, and gravy in one bite offered an okay bite in texture and chew, but the dry, flavorless, sweet meat and gravy took away from the experience and made the meal unable to be finished. Local Honey offers a full bar with a brunch and dinner menu. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was neat for the space. The Fat Man says that Local Honey is NOT Fat Man approved. read more

We recently stayed in London for our family gathering and visited The Local Honey for the first time. Let me tell you, I'm never passing through again without stopping to eat! The service was friendly and welcoming and the ambiance was relaxed and cozy but also perfect for a special night out. The food was absolutely delicious! We tried the Salmon Dip and Bang Bang Shrimp & Brussels apps and I could have licked the bowl of the Bang Bang Shrimp & Brussels! My meal was the 8oz Local Sirloin, which was cooked perfectly and paired with delicious Mashed Potatoes and Broccolini. The rest of our table had the Cajun Chicken Pasta Alfredo and Duck with Risotto dishes and everyone was gushing!! I'm so thankful for our experience at Local Honey! It made a wonderful visit with family even more special! read more

Oh my goodness...we stumbled on this place while passing through town and loved everything about it! Our server, Nicholas, was fabulous, knowledgable, and attentive. We got the bruschetta, which was wonderful, and both got the Harvest Salad, which was just fabulous. The pork rinds on the table are not something we usually eat, but they were so delicious we consumed the whole basket!!! The decor is beautifully and whimsically done. I highly recommend you give it a try. read more

Approaching this restaurant, it looked deceptively quiet and rather small, but once inside I saw that the space really opened up and was almost completely full. It's decorated in part with old picture frame pieces, which looks great. My dining companion and I loved the food. He had broiled catfish with hoecake, which was fantastic and I had veggies with homemade linguine. Our server was attentive and friendly. We finished off the meal with a delicious and not too sweet chocolate mousse cake, which is definitely built for two. Try this place out if you can. read more

It's places like this that make travel to small/smaller-town America so worth it. What a find! I enjoyed everything. EVERY. THING. From our fantastic waiter - who out of nowhere busted out a deep, beautiful version of happy birthday to a nearby table at some point during the night - to the fantastic food, I was thoroughly impressed. Dinner started with pork cracklins, and they were excellent. Good flavor and they were definitely popping/crackling. I liked them so much I took the few we had left home. The cocktail list looked unique and superb. After much back and forth in my own mind, I landed on the Smoked Honey Mai Tai. It came in a whole covered concoction that really gave it a smokey look and flavor. It honestly wasn't my favorite, though it was solid, but I'm glad I tried it. I'd drink it again but probably would order something else. The menu itself was also superb. After that same back and forth, I decided on the popular Creamy Cajun Chicken Alfredo. It had a different but delicious flavor, and I liked that it didn't taste like a standard alfredo. The portion was massive - so much that I had leftovers to last another day and some change. We also ordered some brussel sprouts, and while I'm not generally a fan, they were quite good - a true testament to the food. All of that is topped off by the farm to table concept and the push to utilize local product. That is a massive win alone in my book, made better by the excellent overall experience. read more

It's my husbands birthday and he wanted to go try the shrimp & grits only to be very disappointed that the tails were still on the shrimp and you couldn't see them under the sauce. I got the bang bang chicken wrap and the chicken was so tuff I picked it out! My husband also got a small wedge salad which came in a bowl (how weird right) must of wanted to hide the bad lettuce at the bottom. We told our waitress Kyla but she didn't seem to care. She offered us cheesecake for my husbands birthday but we didn't take it for fear of what might be wrong with it... We don't plan on going back! read more

Arrived around 11:53am and was seated immediately. The building was clean and had a unique style that felt in-line with the local restaurant feel. My wife got a peach tea, which was to sweet for her but I thought it had a full peach flavor. I got a coffee which was average. I got eggs Benedict which was just about perfect. It had little potato bites with it that had a nicely seasoned crust. The wife got a honey burger which was absolutely smashingly good. She always destroys hers by getting them well done but this was still juicy and soft. Absolutely fantastic. Will definitely be back next time I'm down here. read more

Cute and nice ambiance. Not busy on Saturday early afternoon. Lots of open tables but got tucked away by the bar. Service friendly but spotty. Good menu selection. Food good but a little salty. Can always add salt. Fried chicken sandwich was overcooked black on the outside. Center was decent. The brunch plate with 2 eggs, pancake, biscuits n gravy, bacon, cheese grits and home fries was decent. Lacks presentation with all of it on one plate. We had the donuts for dessert and it were hot and fresh but the sauces lacked consistently and was too thin. Might have to try something a little more healthy and see how it goes. read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for quite awhile and just haven't had the opportunity. One weekday evening, I didn't feel like cooking, didn't want fast food, but didn't particularly want to go "out" to eat either. I decided to just call in an order. I wanted something simple that could stand up to "carry-out". Some meals just don't travel well from nice dine-in restaurants. I decided to keep it simple and go with their Bourbon Bacon Burger described as a 6oz burger with bourbon honey glaze, gouda, blackberry bacon jam, crispy bacon, greens and fried green tomato on brioche bun and ordered a side of fries. At $15, this was extremely reasonable. I called and placed an order for carry out. The young lady that took my order was extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and pleasant. I prepaid with a card and she informed me they were a little busy and might need extra time preparing my meal which was perfectly fine and understandable considering it was in the middle of the dinner rush. I allowed 45 minutes and arrived. She stated I arrived just on time as they had just brought my food out, which could not have worked out better. She made sure to include silverware, napkins, and condiments and was extremely friendly and professional. I signed my cc receipts, added a generous tip, and thanked her before leaving the restaurant. And I must say, the decor and ambiance was amazing. It had a very eclectic style decor which was refreshing and comfortable and appeared to be quite busy upon my arrival. I was looking forward to my meal. After arriving home, soon after, I unloaded my meal on a plate and sat down to eat. The burger sounded absolutely delicious in the description and I wish I could say I wasn't disappointed in the presentation and quality of the meal because I generally wanted it to be good. The burger was literally soooo thick, there was absolutely no way I could fit my mouth around it to take a bite and I seriously doubt the most manliest of men could do so either. Or I guess I should say--I wouldn't want to see him try. The burger was thick, juicy, and well cooked although the seasoning left a little to be desired. It was not a "thin" burger by any means. The portions are quite large. There was also a fried green tomato on the burger that I expected to be much thinner than it was. It was actually more like a thick onion ring and together with the burger, just toooo much. They used a brioche bun which suited the flavor profile but was just not hearty enough to hold that sandwich together. The "blackberry bacon jam" was out of this world and actually tasted quite well with the gouda cheese and burger. The biggest disappointment that I just could not overlook however and almost ruined the entire meal was the sorry excuse for "greens" they had selected to use. With a burger of such magnitude as that one turned out to be, a much crisper choice of "greens" would have been preferable or better yet-forego the selection entirely. With the fried green tomato and all the other delicious flavors, the "greens" were actually unnecessary. What I actually received was slimy, wilted, and I actually had to spit out my first bite in a napkin. After I ate a few fries and let my stomach "settle", I removed the lettuce and tried again. I decided to get a knife, cut the burger in quarter sized portions and removed the tomato to eat on the side to make the burger easier to handle and more palatable as well. After these concessions, the experience was much more manageable and enjoyable. I will definitely say that you will not leave hungry because the portions are too small. The amount of fries I received was more than generous and I could only finish half of the burger. I will also have to say that after the changes I made to the meal, it was definitely full of flavor and I did enjoy the meal. I'm not sure I will order that selection again and if I do, I will definitely ask for "no greens" and the fried green tomato a la carte. I am still anxious to try their weekend brunch inside the restaurant. I have heard it is excellent and am very much looking forward to trying a pitcher of mimosas with friends. I will definitely give The Local Honey another try. read more

Very disappointed. We came in tonight to celebrate my mothers 77th birthday. Had heard good things about this place, and was the first time any of us had been here. We will not be back. We were seated at 5:15. It's 6:43 as I write this, and we still don't have our food. Our waitress was nice, and had a couple of appetizers sent to our table free of charge, but there's no excuse for service this poor, without even an apology or explanation from a manager. My wife asked to speak to a manager, and we were told he would be right out, but he never came to see us. Our food came out around 6:50, and we were told our meals were free. The food was over salted - even the pasta dishes we ordered. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen. Look, any place can have a bad night - it happens. But - you get one chance to make a first impression, and this was a really bad one. For the record, we did leave a tip for our waitress, I don't feel any of this was her fault. read more
