Honey Bear's BBQ

We arrived at 12PM. We ordered two plates, one brisket the other pulled pork. The brisket was a bit too dry, but to quote my wife "the sauce is the only thing saving it". To my tastes, the sauce was a sweet and tangy with a small amount of heat. Not my favorite, but not the worst sauce. It is a thin sauce, easy to pour from the Styrofoam cup it comes in. The pulled pork was juicy and delicious, no problems with it. The bun started coming apart from the juiciness though... Better buns might help. The fries could use more seasoning. Unfortunately the fries don't add much to the taste combo when they are just fried potatoes with a few specks of seasoning... The Mac N Cheese is delicious and creamy with some pepper in it. It stole the show. But if I wanted good Mac N Cheese, I can make that at home. I came for good meat and potatoes, and those could be better. All in, it's okay. If I was seeking the best BBQ in town, I'd keep looking from here.

Came in on a Tuesday night ordered the 4 meat combo with 3 sides no rolls or bread comes with the combo got food quick and then cashier was friendly but the food is so not athletic bbq every thing is giving oven hot links taste like hotdogs 🤢 pulled pork wasn’t juicy the baked beans were from the can with just bbq sauce added to them the Mac n cheese from the box was mid potato salad from the box was okay had to ask for bread to go with the pulled pork

Honey Bear’s BBQ has been a personal favorite of mine for over a decade, dating all the way back to when they were located in downtown Phoenix. It’s one of those places that leaves a lasting impression from the first bite, and after all these years, the quality has stayed just as high. When it comes to BBQ, they really know what they’re doing. The flavor is always rich, smoky, and well balanced, and the meat no matter what you order just falls apart effortlessly. One of the standout things for me has always been how tender their BBQ meats are. Whether it’s brisket, pulled pork, or ribs, the texture is just right every time. There’s never any chewing struggle everything just melts in your mouth. That kind of consistency is rare these days, especially in spots that have been around this long. Their BBQ spicy sauce also adds the perfect touch without overpowering the natural flavors of the meat. And the sides? Just as impressive. From their beans to the mac and cheese, everything complements the main dish perfectly. You can tell they put just as much care into the sides as they do the meats, which isn’t always the case at other BBQ joints. Every plate feels like a full, complete meal comfort food done right. You walk out full and satisfied without needing anything extra. I also have to give major credit to their customer service. Every time I’ve visited, I’ve been greeted with a warm welcome and friendly service. Most recently, we decided to go on Father’s Day, fully expecting a long wait and a packed dining area. To our surprise, we were given the food in just 20 minutes, and the dining area was surprisingly relaxed. It made for an even better experience not rushed, not crowded, just good food in a comfortable setting. Honey Bear’s BBQ continues to be a top-tier spot in Phoenix in my eyes. They’ve been doing it right for over 10 years, and I don’t see myself stopping any time soon. Between the quality of the food, the friendly staff, and the consistently great experiences, it’s a place that earns every return visit. Whether you’re a BBQ lover or just looking for a satisfying meal, you really can’t go wrong with Honey Bear’s.

Had 2 meat brisket couldn't tell if it was smoked or just baked in an oven sauce is good not sweet. Baked beans were good coleslaw was ok.Paid 30.00 so price was a little high but not crazy

Really good bbq. Known about this spot for nearly 20 yrs & 1st time here with friends. Had the brisket sandwich with ribs combo and a [huge!l side of fries - delish. Worth the drive. Really nice people too; lady on her first day was friendly and the owner made our crowd of 8 feel very welcome. We'll be back!
