| - I was originally put on to going here by a good friend of mine last year and had forgotten about it until just the other day. I decided to take my girlfriend here on our date night and it was easily the worst decision I had ever made.
When we first arrived, I could tell there was going to be a problem from the get-go. The "server", if you can call him that, was sitting in the main part of the restaurant, on his phone, and seemingly begrudged that we had stepped in the restaurant.
After being unable to give me any direction or recommendations whatsoever, I ordered two BBQ Chicken sandwiches with a potato salad side and a garden salad.
The food came quickly, but I was quite dissatisfied with it.
To start, the bun was literally too soggy to pick up. The meat was WAY too watery, which I'm sure was the culprit for the soggy buns. When I say soggy buns, I literally mean that my girlfriend's tiny fingers were able to puncture the bread with extreme ease. The sauce was actually quite tasty, and is the only reason that I decided against giving a 1 star review. It wasn't until after I discarded my meal that I figured out more sauce was available behind the drinking fountains (serviced with probably the poorest selection of soft drinks I have ever witnessed).
Next, my potato salad was literally the most repulsive thing I have ever put in my mouth. I don't know if it was expired or if it was simply the mix you guys use to season it, but you couldn't have paid me to take more than 2 bites out of it.
Lastly, there were fly's hovering around my meal the whole time. I understand you are going for the whole "barbeque theme", but when I go to eat at a barbeque restaurant, I'd like to imagine that I am not outdoors in the middle of a night by a buggy swamp. It was literally that bad.
I don't know if this is an isolated incident, or a commonplace thing at Honey Bear's, but I highly doubt I will be back any time soon. I am quite disappointed, because I had always heard such good things about it.
