Honey Bear’s BBQ

My daughter had moved up to the Phoenix area and we were looking for a place where I can take her out for a birthday lunch and she picked this place. It was a good choice because we really enjoyed it. Nice homie atmosphere, good food, friendly people. She got the pulled pork sandwich and enjoyed it very much. She gave me a bite of the pulled pork and I actually liked it better than what I had gotten. I order the 4 rib special and while they were delicious, they were a bit more chewy than what I've gotten in most other places. I had leftovers and they were good the next day for lunch. If you like greens, definitely order the collard greens because they were fantastic! I would definitely go here again to try other items on the menu.

My friend and I truly enjoyed Honey Bear's BBQ from the service to the food. Plenty of open seating to dine in. Food came out nice and hot. My catfish was still sizzling when it hit the table. Meet the owner he recommended Mac and greens which we got. Both were tasty and the greens and a nice kick to them. Highlights were the peach Kool-Aid which was perfectly sweetened to my taste. The catfish which had a well done crunch I wish to achieve in the kitchen someday. Will be going back to try more menu items.

I tried going to another place and it’s closed down. Looked on Google Maps and said this place was only a couple of miles away. I so happy I stopped inside. The bbq ribs were absolutely amazing the collard greens damn. Make the owner was so gracious and love his work. You can tell by the quality of the food. I will definitely be making another trip back.

We were looking for a quick, sit-down restaurant near the airport and we found this, only about 5 minutes away. We were welcomed the minute we walked in. The restaurant felt cozy, but there was plenty of seating. Now, let me start with the star of the show: the fried catfish. My son-in-law ordered it and it was the best thing we had. Hot, crispy and well-seasoned. I highly recommend this. I wanted to try the barbecue because it is a barbecue spot and their slogan is something like, "You don't need teeth to eat our meat!" I tried the 3 slider combo so that I could sample different things. The brisket was, by far, my favorite with the pulled pork coming in second. I also liked the sauce. It had a sweet, vinegar-y taste to it. The pulled chicken... it was extremely dry and lacked flavor. My daughter couldn't finish hers. We also were not fans of the sides. We had the baked beans. I'm sorry, I didn't like them. Then, we tried the Mac and cheese because another customer recommended them. Boxed Mac and cheese at best. Nothing special about them at all. The highlights were definitely the brisket and fried catfish.

We arrived at 12PM. We ordered two plates, one brisket the other pulled pork. The brisket was a bit too dry, but to quote my wife "the sauce is the only thing saving it". To my tastes, the sauce was a sweet and tangy with a small amount of heat. Not my favorite, but not the worst sauce. It is a thin sauce, easy to pour from the Styrofoam cup it comes in. The pulled pork was juicy and delicious, no problems with it. The bun started coming apart from the juiciness though... Better buns might help. The fries could use more seasoning. Unfortunately the fries don't add much to the taste combo when they are just fried potatoes with a few specks of seasoning... The Mac N Cheese is delicious and creamy with some pepper in it. It stole the show. But if I wanted good Mac N Cheese, I can make that at home. I came for good meat and potatoes, and those could be better. All in, it's okay. If I was seeking the best BBQ in town, I'd keep looking from here.
