    Four of us, drinks and appetizers. The oysters and sweet potato beignets were excellent but the star of the show was the cheese curds. All of our entrees were just right. Pork chop, shrimp and grits, chicken x 2. Delicious! Our waitress was a tad slow on the uptake but the manager checked on us and made everything go smoothly. Kasey is pretty amazing! Think Honeywood will be a favorite.

    Delicious meal. There was a performer who set up and played music. He was so incredibly loud, we couldn’t talk amongst ourselves at the table.
