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

CAFE HON NEEDS A PERSONALTY MAKE OVER i would not return to this place. I do not think the owner is much of a "lady", and the "diner" is lousy. the food is horrible and the service you receive is not much better.
Great small place to get a tasty sandwich at lunch. I really enjoyed the customer service and the location of the cafe is very convenient to my house. Recommended stop!
stop by for a look, but don't order food! The restaurant is quirky and interesting. I'm told it launched the neighborhood, Hampden. But the food is terrible and the service not much better. My sandwich was burned black and my husband's chicken was the blandest I had ever tasted. The fries were cold and not edible. I couldn't even choke down my drink from the bar!
New Menu Items, specialty Salads when did this happen? Please tell me theres more! – I have been going to Cafe Hon for years, however due to a recent family illness I have been away from Baltimore for several months. Upon Returning to Baltimore, I was looking forward to going to "the Hon" to enjoy some great food. To my suprise, the Hon had a few tricks up their sleeves. Known for its home style cooking. I was impressed to see a new Specialty Salad selection that had over 8 Gourmet Salads and several new items added to the r... read more
Not that Yummy, Hon! – Cafe Hon is really cutely decorated, but the food is horrible. I go there simply for the nostalgia of the place. The food is pricey and not that tastey. The best tasting item, that I have found to order are the burgers (not great, but fair). Saturday, when I went I ordered a burger and a side of fries (with drinks this will cost you about $16.00). The fries were greasy and undercooked, which made them limp and yucky. The location at night isn't the nicest area either.
Great dill vinaigrette! – I was in Baltimore two weeks ago, and having heard about Cafe Hon on T.V., decided to go there for lunch. Although it was very busy (weekend of Hampden Fest), we were seated promptly; and considering the food is "cooked to order", the wait was not exceptionally long. Although the servings were generous, the food itself was nothing to rave about. The crab cakes were dry, the fries nothing special, and the steak had little flavor. The dill vinaigrette, however, was fabulous and the apple pie and coffe... read more
Pretty bad – I have been going to Cafe Hon for many years, and have watched the prices go up, while the quality goes down. I ate there last night and my meal was awful. I had the fried chicken breast....it was raw in the middle, the mashed potatoes were instant, and the vegetables had no flavor. It also came with a piece of corn bread the size of Texas. Really.....was that necessary?!? The cornbread should be a side item, not the main course. I won't be going back. There are too many great places to eat in Baltimore, than wa... read more
Unhygienic – I do not think I have ever been in a dirtier restaurant. The wood floors had a black layer of dirt and god knows what else. We were seated at a corner table and were visited throughout the meal by two flies. Our server was very amiable but the ,unfortunately ,was nothing great. My hubby's poached eggs were undercooked and my creamed beef dish was bland and starchy. I cannot see what people like about this place.
Food OK, Service Bad – I used to eat at Cafe Hon quite a bit and the food and service used to be good. However, the last time I ate there made me decide to never go back. Myself and my dining partner were the 2nd people on the waiting list. 17 people entered the restaurant after us. The owner of the place stepped in to manage the crowd and sat all 17 people ahead of us. She quite obviously ignored us and proceeded to rearrange chairs and tables to seat the larger parties who arrived after us. We would have been OK with havin... read more
