Meat was not tender or hot, had a large combo tip/link. They cut the link into small pieces (not use to that. Sauce was good but the food was not hot (barley warm). I called my order in and was there in 15 min.
Well-seasoned Chicago BBQ, but packaging needs improvement Honey-1 BBQ is a solid option for classic Chicago-style BBQ, especially if you enjoy well-seasoned meats and generous portions. The rib tips were tender and cooked well, with good overall flavor. The seasoning was definitely there, but I personally was hoping for a bit more smokiness in the meat. The sauce was fine and did the job, though it didn’t stand out as especially memorable compared to other BBQ spots, it was just okay for me. One major downside was the packaging. Unfortunately, it was very sloppy, which was a big turnoff especially since we were traveling from Chicago back to Michigan. Proper, secure packaging really matters when food is meant to travel, and this experience made that part disappointing. The restaurant has a classic neighborhood BBQ vibe, service was efficient, and the food was hot and filling. Overall, this is a dependable BBQ stop with good seasoning, but better packaging and a bit more smoke would significantly improve the experience. Still worth trying if you’re exploring BBQ in Chicago, but keep the travel factor in mind.
The bbq rib tips are good, not salty and the sauce isn't overpowering. My only issue is depending on what time of day you get here, some items may not be available so you should call first. Second visit: I went back a second time and ordered a large rib tip this time and a large baked beans, got all the way home and the baked beans were the small size and the rib tips had the same amount as the small rib tips I had ordered on my first time there. If you patronize this place, just order the small tips and small baked beans because that's what you get bo matter what size you order. Save some money.
