Welcome to Drexell & Honeybee's in Brewton, Alabama, a restaurant with no menu, no prices and no staff - just a desire to feed the need.

And this is a lady who is old enough to have seen the end of the hatred and segregation in the south. I know I'm almost the same age it lasted until the 70's. And yet she has the outlook on life everyone should have. She's right Angel's do walk the earth, she's the proof. That's what's wrong with society now people have lost the meaning of compassion, and no longer have it for others, this lady is a BRIGHT SHINING LIGHT IN A WORLD OF DARKNESS!!

It's like Heaven's diner on Earth. All of God's creation was represented, just as His Word declares that all nations and tongues will be present in Heaven. There is only one race: HUMAN! There are too many divisions and distractions that prevent us from uniting as people of God's Kingdom, what truly matters! Drexell and Honeybees and their customers get it and are true examples of The Beatitudes.
