MEET THE JOHNSONS

Caleb & Alex

—

Owners Caleb and Alex Johnson bring their love of good food, industry experience and passion for utilizing the local landscape to Honesdale, PA.

The pair met in Philadelphia working for a restaurant group in Center City, Caleb the Chef de Cusine and Alex front of house manager. After sticking around Philly for nearly 8 years honing their craft they returned to the area to be closer to family and raise their two children. Wanting to bring a cool city vibe and great food to small town NEPA, Native was born. Native in ownership and ingredient. The name comes from the fact that Alex is a native of Honesdale and Caleb has a love for foraging and supporting local agriculture.

Native features as many local farmers and producers as possible. Therefore the menu is extremely fresh and entirely made from scratch. The menu comes from the way they like to eat -- they love to share in good food and drink together. That is why most menu items are designed for sharing, encouraging guests to order a few things to share and hopefully try something they've never had before.
