Hamming It Up Murrieta Style - Welcome To Honeycutt Farms

By
Real Estate Agent with WINEormous.com

Last Christmas, we were invited to potluck with our friends in Quail Valley. Everyone agreed on a ham, so I headed over to Honeycutt Farms. I had stopped in once to try their split pea soup (delicious!), but hadn't yet tried their ham. It was a hit! Everyone loved it, there were plenty of leftovers, and I made an incredibly tasty black bean soup with the bone.

Debbie and I went back to try their breakfast a few weeks later and it was absolutely delicious. Their bacon, sausage and ham with eggs and biscuit breakfast is guaranteed to satisfy any hunger pangs you might have. They're also open for lunch and dinner. If you're looking for down home cooking at very reasonable prices, you've got to check them out.

I introduced myself to owner Cheryl Dorfner. CherylShe told me the restaurant has been in business for 17 years (one of Murrieta's oldest) and that she bought it seven years ago. When I went in this morning, two members of the Murrieta Police Department were enjoying breakfast there. I say that's a good omen!

Tom-What an at home feeling this seems to give.  If we ever make it to Temecula, I would only hope to meet you.  I love the little fortune cookie addition you have on your side bar.  Funny thing is, mine says"You would be wise not to seek too much from others at this time". Needless to say, the pillow is calling my name so my seeking is over for the night.

I missed lunch, and my dinner prospects aren't looking great, so I really didn't need to find this post just now, Tom!  Looks like a nice joint, and some hearty fare would really fit my bill.  Thanks for sharing your town with us.

Tom, Now I'm hungry! This reminds me of Tom T. Hall's song about the hog farmer in the hospital wondering "who's gonna feed them hogs?" Mike in Tucson
