honeygrow — Restaurant in Maryland

Just tried honeygrow for the first time (same shopping center as Target off Dobbin) and it was delicious!

Seems like they specialize in stir fry and salads and you can also build your own. I got their Kale Chicken Caesar with no customizations. (A half of a lime was on top of my salad too, forgot to put it back for the picture.) You can really taste how fresh these ingredients are. Particularly their chicken and their homemade ceasar dressing were delicious. Staff was incredibly friendly, place was very clean, and I personally loved the kiosks for ordering.

Only minor complaint was how loud it is. It has one of those open industrial kind of ceilings so sound ping pongs around like crazy. I was alone and reading so I didn’t mind as it felt like white noise, but if you’re a sensory sensitive girly like myself, not sure I could handle it if I were trying to have a conversation.

Bonus points: they have outlets, including for USBs, built into the side of the bench.

Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be going back!

It doesn't seem possible to make curry this tasteless, but Honeygrow manages to pull it off. This is some of the worst salad/noodle/protein in a bowl I've had. The rice noodles have the consistency of something dug out from the inside of an old softball. The squares of chicken (what little is considered a portion size) are dry and bland. And the pineapple pieces taste like they're right out of some generic-brand can. This is one of those only-order-at-a-kiosk places, so if you have any food allergies or questions, good luck trying to get an answer. And when the kiosk prompts you for a tip, it's hard to keep from wondering who the tip is for: the person who didn't take my order or the person who didn't clean my table? If it's for the person who called my name when my order was ready, considering it took them ten seconds to call out my name and plop my tray on the counter, I think even a 5% tip will equate to the hourly wage of a top...

This was my first visit to Honeygrow. I was excited to try something new. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the restaurant and a friendliness of the staff. My only complaint is that I asked for assistance in ordering the garlic butter shrimp dish. I specifically requested that the crushed peppers be placed on the side and not in my dish. Because, I do not like spicy dishes. However, once I arrived home to try my food, I noticed the crushed peppers on top of my noodles. I did attempt to remove some, but there was no escaping the heat. If not for that error, my first visit would have definitely been a "5." The extreme spiciness of the dish did not allow me the opportunity to really enjoy my meal. However, I will definitely try again. And hopefully the next time, they will get it right. Moreover, I added a tip for food that I could not enjoy and had...
