One of the things that stands out about honeygrow is just how much flexibility is built into the menu. The restaurant offers vegan, gluten-free and macro-conscious options, and customers can customize their meals around different dietary preferences.
The easiest way to understand honeygrow is to think of it as a customizable stir-fry kitchen. You start with a base, then choose your protein, vegetables, garnishes and sauce. Or, if making decisions isn’t your favorite part of dining out, you can choose one of honeygrow’s featured combinations. The menu currently includes favorites such as Ginger Scallion, Spicy Garlic, Sesame Garlic, Sweet Soy Five Spice, Red Coconut Curry, Garlic Butter Chicken and Garlic Butter Shrimp.
If stir-fry isn’t what you’re looking for, honeygrow also has a substantial salad menu. Current choices include the Kale Chicken Caesar, Loaded Greek, OG Cobb, Steakhouse Chopped, Classic Shrimp Caesar, Cold Sesame Noodle and Pomegranate Açaí. The Pomegranate Açaí looked particularly interesting, but I had my sights set on stir-fry.

The interior is bright, clean and modern, with digital menu boards and an open kitchen where customers can see the food being prepared. Customers can order from in-store kiosks or order ahead through honeygrow’s website or app. If you’re over 40, don’t panic, there is a teenager always there who is trained to spot the fear in your eyes and help you use the computer to order. No more sheepishly approaching the counter and trying to get a manager to take your order like you do at McDonalds.

My wife had a bowl featuring chicken, noodles, broccoli, carrots and bright red peppers. I had the Garlic Butter Shrimp Bowl with shrimp, mushrooms, vegetables, noodles, and a generous topping of chili crisp. Each one was wonderful and packed with flavor.
Gainesville has no shortage of places to eat, but honeygrow brings a combination that isn’t quite as common: freshly cooked stir-fry, customizable salads, fruit-based desserts and an emphasis on letting customers build their own meal. Like many restaurant chains today, they opted for the bright and shiny design that causes sound to bounce off of every inch of the place. It can become a little loud when it is busy.
Next time you don’t feel like cooking, drag the family down to Virginia Gateway and try some reasonably priced pretty health stir-fry. The kids might even like it.
