About this business
There is an informal tradition among Baltimore waitresses to address customers as 'Hon' (pronounced to rhyme with 'bun.') Over the years, the term has come to symbolize the town's casual hospitality` and as such, it suits this friendly café perfectly. Located in Hampden, it has the ambiance of a suburban kitchen circa 1955, and the menu fits the décor just right. Dishes like Four Cheese Lasagna and 'Much Better Than Mom's' Meatloaf are guaranteed to stick to your ribs, and the Crab cake Platter does Baltimore p... read more

Just had lunch at Cafe Hon today. Our waitress spilled ice tea all over me, my friends lunch order was wrong and our bill had a higher charge. The owner was 20 feet away and never came by to say sorry. While I was not looking for a "free lunch" they should have offered to do something. The food was good, but the experience was not.
Had another great dinner this past Sunday. The burgers were great! Thanks, Denise!
Yummy wings!
Terrible – Overpriced food, terrible management. It's a gift shop that happens to sell (bad) food. Not a true representation of Baltimore.
Cafe Hon – I can't believe I waited for years and finally drove the two hours from my house to get there...what a disappointment! The wait staff acted like we were an intrusion (a small party of four, during a very slow Labor Day post-lunch). The food was adequate--although being served my egg salad on cinnamon bread (instead of cheese bread) was certainly an experience! My son's hamburger was nothing out of the ordinary and the bread pudding was too sweet. We did end up buying some souvenirs from the gift shop; but apparent... read more
Everything we had hoped it would be! – First read about the Cafe in a Delta Magazine. Months later I was surfing the web for "news" and a "flamingo protest" on Baltimore court house lawn popped up. The cafe sounded like a FUN place and it was. Our granddaughter loved it and the food was great. It was impossible to find parking on the street (because of the snow storms) but there was a plowed parking lot out back! My family said, "Let's go again!" We loved it!
Go somewhere else – Overpriced and not that great of food. I got an omelet and it came out as if they skipped skillet - they were raw. I would recommend City Cafe for much better food at a similar price. Plus the owner Denise has an annoying fake Hon accent and made a huge deal about paying a very reasonable city fee for her now gone Flamingo.
Cafe Hon has a wonderful carmel bread pudding! Our family had a recent meal at Cafe Hon. The burgers and fries were great but the real treat we came for was the carmel bread pudding. Oh my goodness! Make sure to call before you head over however as it apparenlty isn't always available. I'd hate for you to miss out.
so many great restaurants in Bmore, why did we go here? – I eat a minimum of 4 dinners each week in a different restaurant, either in B-more or somewhere in the USA. My first visit to the Hon was 8 years ago and it was awful. Went again this evening and it was even worse! The food was fresh but impossibly bland. It was as if the chef was cooking for the nursing home residents! No butter, no salt, no flavor, no bread, no cheese... I ordered a house salad which means a dinner plate of lettuce, 4 small slices of cucumber and 2 ... read more
