“ The food was good. Wasn't a fan of the French dip. We took home a cinnamon roll that was great. ”
“ Excellent food. Great service. A nice little town restaurant. ”
“ Passing through Montesano and happened on this place. Very impressed by the flavorful grilled bacon cheeseburger, good chefs salad with nice thick creamy blue cheese dressing I requested, and the best chocolate shake I've had in ages. The whole restaurant, including the bathroom, was spotlessly clean. Our sever, Angie, was friendly and did a great job of checking in with us while we ate. I would definitely go back! ”
“ This is an old school diner that's been around a long time, the food is really good and the service is excellent. I like to have the Monte Cristo sandwich because it's my favorite, also tried the chili, and it's quite good as well. Definitely would recommend it if you are in the area. ”
“ It's a diner. The kind with Formica 4-top tables and a full length counter with swivel stools. Last remodel was circa 1979. But, the breakfasts (get the Stuffed Hashbrowns) are great and our server was a hoot. Upsold us to a mammoth cinnamon roll To Go, made fresh multiple times a day (the dough was proofing in a covered bowl on the divider between kitchen and front counter). The Beehive upholds six (seven?) decades of tradition with pride and grace. Who needs a remodel?! ”
“ We stopped for lunch on our way from Olympic National Park to Seattle Airport. Best clam chowder we've ever had! Superfast service and very friendly staff. Very happy we chose this place to stop! ”
“ This place was awesome! Nichole was our server. She was very friendly and walked us through the menu and answered ALL our questions. Cute diner atmosphere. The hand-breaded chicken fried steak was excellent. Will definitely "Bee" back. ”
“ It was a cute diner with plenty of seating area. The breakfast is amazing. I didn't favor the shrimp Alfredo too much, but it was still very good. Great set up, and bathrooms avaliable. The service was great and our waitress did well attending ”
