The Skinny: awesome hams that requires no heating, sandwiches are great too (4) service: can be bogged down some times during the holiday season (4), value: it's definitely pricey but if it takes the cooking out of the holidays, I am all for it. (4).
There is something very festive about Honey Baked Ham. I mean I don't really think about it all until the holidays. But when you remember, it is like a stroke of genius.
Literally to serve the ham, you take it out of the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Done. No heating (unless you really want to). No fuss. That is it. Rather than stressing, you can actually enjoy the holidays. As a mom of a very active toddler, this place is a godsend.
I took brought down to the office for a potluck too. It was awesome because there is no way we can heat much up at the office.
The hams taste great...the crusty topping is like a sweet and salty crack. Amazingballs.
The cost is not prohibitive but it isn't cheap either. A 10 lb half bone in ham cost around $70. ($7ish/lb) That being said, the sheer lack of effort to have an enjoyable family meal is priceless.
Just a note - ordering ahead of time on the phone is pointless too because they still have to look for a ham for you. Next time, I am going to order online as they have a separate line for only that. I probably would have saved some time that way.
We got some free sandwiches too by joining their club....they are delish! The tavern club is great and they don't skimp on meat.
I love Honey Baked Ham because cooking during the holidays is for the birds. Come on by and take the stress out of the holiday season!
