This is another pretty typical dinner style food in Ottawa. I would say this place is best used for a breakfast. With that said they make pretty good skillet. I think they have breakfast skillets and some lunch skillets, I had a Mexican skillet while I was there and it was decent. If this place is good enough for Vince Vaughn then it is good enough for us in the Illinois Valley

Old fashioned little dinner, could use some up keeping. Ordered burger and fries pretty good, not oily at all. Would eat there again, if I’m ever back in town.

Drove by this restaurant for years before stopping in one day to give it a try. I ordered the house meatloaf and my girlfriend ordered some breakfast. Everything was canned, boxed and not fresh. Nothing was horrible, but it was definitely not good. Nothing special about the atmosphere. It seemed clean enough. The staff was fine, but the food leaves a lot to be desired.

Very little to eat for the non-meat eater. I do not like the concept of Freedom Fries. If I want French fries, they had better be on the menu. Waitress kept trying to steer me to a breakfast dish, which I was not in the mood for.

The Bee Hive sits across from the courthouse in downtown Ottawa. There is not good reason to be in Ottawa — ughh but we were driving through to go to Starved Rock and wanted lunch. Being so close to the courthouse, there were many annoying lawyer, professional type people inside. Parking is street, but there was plenty when we went. The inside is a bit dated, with dingy wallpaper and worn carpet, but it’s what you expect from the outside. The waitress that greeted us was one of two that served the entire place, and she was a bit scattered and airy. The menu is vast, with the typical family restaurant assortment. I ordered a greasy three cheese bacon burger that came on a pretzle roll — holy cow was it to die for! Delicious! The fries were perfectly cooked but I was confused as to why I had the normal fries with a smattering of crinkle cuts tossed in. Looks like they mixed two varieties — weird, and sketchy. My hubby didn’t want fries with his melt but got then anyway, along with a pile of pickles he also specifically asked not to have. Annoying. The soda/drinks come in tiny glasses — what’s up with that? Also they only give one free refill — huh? I’ve never been denied bottomless drinks — ughhh lame! I hate my liquid being rationed, not cool Bee Hive! Overall the food was good tasting, but the atmosphere and service were a bit lacking. I’d go back if I had to be in Ottawa, but I’d rather try someplace else first.

Went here on vacation and it was really good! It looked a little shady from the outside but when we went in it had a nice atmosphere and was good looking! The waitresses were super nice!!! The food was pretty good, too! I would suggest if on the road in Ottowa.

I’ve been coming into the Beehive since i was a little kid and it’s always a must when I come visit my grandma. It’s a traditional mid-western diner, service is excellent! My go to is the corned beef n hash with two sunny side up eggs and an english muffin. Places like these are a dime a dozen.

Good little traditional diner. Our food came out fast and looked good. They have tasty sandwiches(I liked the reuben and the club). They also have walleye on the menu, which is a rarity so I’d give it 3.5 stars if I could. Our waitress was nice too.
