Cape May - in Fairfield, New Jersey? No, but the size, appearance, and location, and the great friendliness of the team at Honey's Kitchen (48 Clinton Road, 973-287-6749, www.honeyskitchennj.com) harkened my wife and me back to our honeymoon days in the nation's oldest seashore resort, breakfasting back then at tiny luncheonettes in the seaside city. I'll attest here, too, that, all of the above said, Honey's Kitchen is home in this Essex County town, amid a nice residential community and many office parks. You don't have to travel 153 miles south to enjoy small town comfort and friendliness. It's right here - as everybody knows. One day I'll kick the "Taylor ham, scrambled egg and American cheese on roll" ($4.25) habit, but not yet. Not this day. Laura, our very friendly server, assured me and Lucille that our choices on the beautiful Wednesday we stopped in were favorites of many, and we weren't surprised, And, the quest for the area's best tuna melt continues on. The Honey's Kitchen version (served with fries for $8.50) is neater and more uniform than others, meaning that it's served one side of rye toast atop the other, not open-face, therefore not affording opportunity for the tuna to ooze out the sides of the bread (aka become a mess) when the diner attempts to craft the sandwich him or herself. Feeling the disappointment? Don't. There is none. This sandwich was extremely tasty. We - yes, we shared - loved it. Honey's Kitchen is a comfortable and (important) affordable alternative. Service is prompt and friendly (thank you, Laura). It's a nice stop.
Keep up the good work, folks, Steve
