Yes this place is a dive so be forewarned.
Honey Bee's has moved a few times over the years and is now located in a little shopping center on the borderline of Penn Hills and Wilkinsburg. The location can be a little sketchy at night. It is a pretty ghetto take out only spot so you will be getting your food to go when you visit. One time I ask for a takeout menu and the women behind the counter told me to take a picture of the menu on the wall! Really?
The main attraction here is the fried chicken wings which most of the time are hit or miss. The last few times I had them they just weren't any good. They were lacking flavor and were just too small and made me will like I was eating a baby pigeon. They do offer burgers, salads, sandwiches and hoagies as well but I have never tried them.
The sides are the only saving grace for this place. They offer the usual suspects, mac n cheese, greens, green beans, potato salad and more. The last few times I've gotten my chicken elsewhere and just came here for the sides.
As others have said the place is in desperate need of the Restaurant Makeover treatment.
It just breaks my heart that Pittsburgh doesn't have one really nice sit down Soul Food restaurant where you can get a wide variety of things. You have to go one place for ribs and another of fried chicken and yet another for sides. Yes, there's Carmi which is very good but their menu is lacking. And there's Savoy, but at those high prices I don't consider that to be soul food.
When I have a taste for wings I'll just go to the nearby Genuine Pub or to Mohan's as they are both superior in every way and just get my sides for either Showcase BBQ or Honey Bees.
