The menu at Honeysuckle is as delicious as it is creative. It is rooted in Afrocentric culinary tradition and many many of the delicious dishes are prepared from ingredients grown on their farm in Bucks County. I particularly recommend the deviled eggs appetizer, elevated by crab and scotch bonnets, but everything ordered by our table was perfection.

Beautiful decor inside with a Miami restaurant vibe. Food and drinks were delicious. The waiter was super helpful and nice with great recs. We were there for a birthday so they brought out dessert with a bottle service style presentation it was a vibe.
