| - I can't believe that there are ANY negative reviews of Honey Bear's! I've been a customer for decades, having started when the owners and founders were smoking meat in a converted 50-gal. drum outside the original East Phoenix location.
I now frequent the Central Ave. location and the food is still as good as it's always been.
If all that matters to you is ambiance, this is probably not the place for you. Honey Bear's is all about the food.
Someone complained that the pork was too soggy. Another that the pork was too dry. HOW can it be both?? The pulled pork IS "soggy" because it's JUICY! Honey Bear's pulled pork is to DIE for!
Someone actually dissed the barbecue sauce! I've been hitting barbecue joints from the Mississippi to all points west, and HB's sauce is hands-down the best I've ever found.
The only complaint I have is that when I tried to order the baby back ribs (the best thing that has ever been in my mouth), I was told that they are no longer carrying them but are now offering spare ribs. So, I tried the spare ribs and, while they are good, they just don't compare to the baby backs.
I had never tasted "collard greens", so I decided to try them. Now I'm hooked. Since I liked them so much as HB's, I ordered them when I went to Notorious P.I.G., another barbecue restaurant. I had to throw those away...they were loaded with vinegar.
I will continue to buy the mouth watering pulled pork, pulled chicken, and collard greens from Honey Bear's even though I now live miles away (and right between two other BBQ restaurants). And, for other HB's fans, "Deal Chicken" frequently offers coupons for Honey Bear's which cost $15 for $30 worth of food. Beat THAT!
