The Honey Tree Grille

The minute we walked in the receptionist rolled her eyes. I understand that look. she obviously didn’t want us to be there nor did she look happy with her job. We walked out after a minute of stepping in there. We felt so unwelcome. Not sure about the food though but didn’t want to risk getting served something bad. Would never go back in there again.

If you’re ordering something fried, or breakfast, everything here will be good enough, but the soups and salads are consistently meh.
The healthiest choice for lunch is probably the fattoush salad, which lacks flavor. You can do soup and salad for $ 8. The lemon rice soup is gummy and not really edible. With an ice tea and tip, that bill came to $ 14, which would’ve been much better spent at Plum Market carry out next door.
Service is usually good though.

Good food, daily specials, attentive service, reasonable prices, Lots to like here. The veggie soup is superior. Salads are always fresh.

The strangest, and I must say, stupidest thing just happened here. I ordered a carryout dinner from their online menu, which stated the dinners came with green beans or peas. After we opened it at home, we discovered neither was there. I called and was actually told that the dinners no longer came with a vegetable and the menu had been wrong for FIVE years. They will honor the menu, but only if someone asks for it. WTF?
How would I possibly know to ask for it, if the menu already states that a veggie comes with the dinner? I would only know after I got home, which is slightly too late. The manager said this is to discourage the continuation of the error.
I suggested that perhaps they could have fixed the menu sometime in the past 5 years — ya think? I also said that they should tell people that the veg is no longer included WHEN the customer places the order, thereby eliminating this entire scenario. Apparently, that’s a too rational thought.
The manager said I could return for the side — sure, I want to run back to the restaurant after I’m already home.
Strangely, I’ve never encountered a situation where I have to ask if an item is included, if it says it’s included??!
My head us spinning — yours?

I come here a few times a week on my break. Really good food and fantastic service. The one lost star is because of the toast. The toast is either burned or still bread. There’s not really an in between. Overall it’s a quick tasty meal every time.

What you see is what you get, basically a glorified Coney, nothing special. Their Greek food is very Americanized and bland. A quick place to get a meal if you’re in a hurry.

The Greek salad with chicken is phenomenal, there pita’s are also scrumptious. The customer service is
always professional and friendly
and there service is fast

Family friendly reasonably priced. My spinach pie and salad were very good.

Nice atmosphere in this place. They have great coffee and the food is very well done as well. They offer a buffet on Sunday’s but I stick to the basics. Staff are always polite and attentive. Nice alternative to some of the more expensive dinning spots in the area.

One word-​awful! I’ve went there to eat, as well as ordered take in from here because I’m a sucker who hopes things will improve. They never do! They always run out of pita bread and hummus by dinner time, so don’t even bother asking. They never remember salad dressings on take out orders, so if you do order CHECK! And the service is absolutely atrocious! They make you wait at least 5min to acknowledge you, and if you order fries, expect them to be cold. Verdict-​if they actually have the ingredients for your meal, the food is ok. Other than that, VERY BAD!

Last week, I carried out dinner for 10 — Greek was requested — I talked to the manager who was wonderful, explaining and recommending everything to me. Ended up getting the Chicken Lemonada for 10. She made sure everything was perfect, putting the chicken, rice, Greek salad and sauce all in separate containers. Had spinach pie, too. It was a HUGE hit!!! Went today for another carryout. This time it was for my husband and I. We both had different chicken dishes and soup. Yum Yum Yum! And, very nice staff, manager and owner!

Simply fabulous.
Great staff,
Great food,
Chef extraordinaire…
You can’t go wrong.
Friendly atmosphere.
Loved it.
Hit the buffet on weekends!!!
Oh, and I guess if you are so pretentious that you still want a gluten free menu, you may want to go somewhere else.
Good.
More room for the rest of us.

I’ve been to a Honey Tree before but it was a while ago. A friend and I were going to see a movie at the Maple tonight and LivingSocial had a pay $ 5, get $ 10 deal, so we chose to go here.
The good: their chicken shwarma was excellent. Service was a bit slow, but friendly. The place was packed on a Thursday night, which surprised me.
The bad: we waited about fifteen minutes for a booth. I asked if I could do onion rings as a side instead of the French fries, and expected an upcharge, but was never told there was one … A huge plate came out and I was charged for a full side order, about $ 3.29. Waitress forgot to take off the livingsocial deal and we had to remind her.
Also, my friend ordered a chicken gyro and they brought him lamb. They did correct this quickly, though.
I’d come back here just for the shwarma, I’d compare it to Palm Palace. It’s a bit pricey, about $ 6.25 or so with no sides, but delicious. Otherwise, the restaurant itself was just okay.

Great service, good food and price. I had the gyro which was surprisingly well made. Remind me of greektown. Gf had the greek salad w chicken gave it a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ which earns this place a 5 star rating.

Man was this place busy at lunchtime. I waited about 20 minutes for a carry out. I got a salad with turkey, but I didn’t like the meat so I picked it out. The grape leaves were good. I also ordered a salad with chicken for my mom which was pretty good. The owner and staff were friendly and the place look clean and fresh.

Gotta downgrade the review. I have been here a few more times. I keep thinking that I am not ordering the right thing… but after trying the various Middle Eastern items, salads, breakfast, soups, and the like I figured out they don’t season ANYTHING. It just tastes like really really bland boring food.
The location is terrific which is why it is busy, but it does not have the food that will make it last long.
And they opened another one on Orchard Lake — I think they need to get a handle on the food quality before expanding.

Bloomfield is lacking good restaurants in the mid tier price range. Honeytree is a good standby. Kid friendly and has a very comprehensive menu that everyone will find something they like. Everything from burgers and salad to Salmon and perch.
Their focus is a bit of a Mediterranean feel, but the restaurant is generic enough to serve everyone’s tastes.
The food is okay. Most of it is made in house and not prepped in some factory. For that they get a plus. The taste is good, but not spectacular. There can be some inconsistency in plating and flavor, but mostly is predictable.
This is a good place to grab something to eat if you don’t feel like cooking, but is not a destination restaurant.

Yum. My work is nearby and we order out from Honey Tree pretty regularly. I love their Greek salad dressing. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything I didn’t like from here. Big selection of sandwiches/​wraps and salads along with middle eastern food. One of my latest faves is the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Definitely NOT healthy, but very tasty! Prices can be a little high for a coney place, but it’s expected in that area.
I’ve brought big and small groups to eat in at Honey Tree, and we’ve always had good and quick service.

The best service ive had at a restaurant in a while !! Cathy and Tiara are unreal waitresses. They are very very attentive, and friendly. The restaurant has a diverse seating selection — booths and tables. There are TV’s around the edges of the restaurant for those who want to kick back in a booth and watch sports or whatever. There is a giant variety of delicious food on the menu.
They have 2 types of chilli — the traditional meat/​bean kind and the coney kind. There is also lemon rice soup — very lemony here.
I ordered a Down South Skillet — which was hearty and delicious, it consisted of eggs any style (i got scrambled egg whites), cubed potatoes, bacon, green pepper, mushroom, onion, and cheese. My mom ordered their classic greek salad with grilled chicken — their chicken is great !! not rubbery, its high quality. Their dressing is the bomb! not oily. They also have the best pita, its greecian style. My gma ordered a michigan salad which she loved as well. My dad ordered a beef fajita — which he loved. and my papa ordered a chicken kabob !! see very diverse menu!
free plentiful parking, and we didn’t have to wait to be seated !!

I ordered the Mediterranean vegetable ciabatta sandwich and a side salad. On the menu, you can add a soup or fries to your order for $ 1.99. I asked how much it was for a side salad since it wasn’t on the menu, and the waitress just told me she didn’t really know. She looked at the menu and couldn’t find it, and she just told me it was probably $ 1.50 or $ 1.99. Not a huge deal, but it seemed kind of weird to give me a ballpark idea of what they were going to charge me rather than just asking someone who knew.
My «ciabatta sandwich» was on pita bread… the same pita bread they use for gyros. The grilled vegetables were EXTREMELY oily (not even olive oil — canola oil!) and unseasoned, and the fresh mozzarella kind of looked like smooshed-​down styrofoam… it didn’t taste like anything. The bread got super soggy from all the oil, and was just plain gross. My side salad was okay. The only good thing about my meal were the home-​made potato chips. That’s why I’m giving this a 2-​star rating instead of 1-​star. Those chips were awesome. There were TONS of them. I had no idea that chips came with my meal! I probably ate more potato chips than sandwich. I’m just curious, though. WHY do they make it an option to get FRIES with the meal when there’s already the equivalent of a whole potato (maybe even two) on the plate! And salad’s not really an option? There’s something wrong with this picture.
Definitely will not be returning to The Honey Tree. Will just go to another Coney Island-​type of restaurant, because there are tons more nearby that are way better.
