A PROPERTY WITH CHARACTER
HISTORIC DETAILS & DISTINCTIVE INTERIOR
Honey's retains architectural details that give the property a character all its own. The interior features a pressed-tin ceiling, exposed brick, hanging pendant lights, wood cabinetry and counters, and large storefront windows opening toward NE 2nd Street.
These existing elements provide a distinctive setting for a future commercial concept while preserving the character that has long made Honey's a recognizable part of Downtown Smithville.
COURTYARD & OUTDOOR SERVICE AREA
AN ESTABLISHED OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACE
Honey's fenced courtyard previously served as an extension of the business, providing outdoor guest seating with picnic tables beneath overhead string lighting. The courtyard also includes an existing masonry firepit feature.
Two accessory buildings support the property. One has been used for storage, while the second served guests through three walk-up service windows and includes a restroom. A second restroom is located inside the main commercial building.
PART OF SMITHVILLE'S FILM HISTORY
A LOCATION FEATURED IN HOPE FLOATS AND DOONBY
Honey's Diner is part of Smithville's established film history. The property was used as a filming location for the 1998 film Hope Floats and later for Doonby. Its film history predates the property's later renovation and operation as Honey's, adding another chapter to the story of this distinctive downtown building.
Smithville has continued to serve as a location for film and television productions and became Texas' first Film Friendly Texas community.
