Drexell & Honeybee's

When you enter Drexell & Honeybee’s in downtown Brewton, Alabama, you’ll walk past booths and four tops full of cornbread, fried chicken, and collard greens. The one thing you won’t find is a checkout register. To owners Lisa and Freddie Thomas-McMillan, food is about the joy of serving others. And that doesn’t come with a price tag.

In fact, there’s only one rule: ‘Everybody eats.’ From Tuesday through Thursday, 11 A.M. – 1 P.M., Drexell & Honeybee’s serves up hot plates to hungry on-comers from all walks of life, whether you can pay for it or not. There are no suggested prices, in fact, no prices of any kind. When you are done with your meal, you simply leave whatever you can – a handful of coins, a generous donation, a handwritten note, or a heartfelt ‘Thank You. But when you leave, you do so with a full stomach, a full heart, and the understanding that you are loved and worthy of love.
