| - I came here today because I was in the area and wanted something different. I've heard about them before, but never been into their place until now.
It wasn't the worst, but honestly, I wasn't all that thrilled. I was hoping for more. When I walked in, the place was empty! There was one guy sitting and eating in the corner. I will say that its because today is Christmas Eve, and everyone's out doing other stuff getting ready for the holiday.
So, I walk in and go to the register to order. I had a few questions since I'd never eaten here before, but the girl behind the register was inputting stuff in and asked me to hold on for a moment. I waited a few minutes for her to finish, but it felt like forever. I was hungry and just wanted to eat. Anyways, she takes my order, and I went with one of their combos. I got a Brisket sandwich, mac and cheese, along with a pop to drink.
The food was done quickly, but I left feeling kind of let down. The mac and cheese was soupy, and had quite a bit of pepper in it. I ate about half and threw the rest away. Normally I would take something like that home and snack on it later, but I didn't care for it, so I chucked what I I didn't eat. The Brisket itself was okay, but the BBQ sauce had no kick to it. I don't mean that it was mild...but it had no taste. Plus, they didn't put a lot of sauce on, so that half my sandwich didn't have BBQ sauce on it. :-(
Normally, when I eat at a BBQ place, they have additional bbq sauces either in squirt bottles on the table, or in a vat somewhere in a central location for you to add on if you would like more. There is also usually some kind of variety to choose from. Tangy sauce, maybe a hotter bbq sauce, etc. All I saw was a vat near the napkin area, but it wasn't labeled and I didn't trust putting in on my food. I didn't know what it was. I assume it was extra sauce, but I don't know that for sure since there wasn't a sign.
Also, the place was FREEZING. Look, I'm from Michigan and have a pretty thick skin for cold. But, the last few days, its been quite cold outside, even for Arizona standards. 30 something degrees and night, with a high in the upper 50's to 60's during the day. Most places have the heat on. Well, not at Honey Bears. No heat. I could feel that the cold had seeped in, and I wasn't wearing a coat, and wished I had. fail.
Overall, I didn't like this location, but I am open to trying the other locations in the future, and hope to have a better experience next time.
