The staff is friendly and the owners are always plesant. The BBQ is great and affortable. The best time to go is on Fridays when they have their BBQ wings special .

Honey Bear's mesquite-smoked ribs and chicken , doused in a sweet-hot, Tennessee-style barbecue sauce , are deliciously tender, practically falling off the bone. Read more

Leah Starr

Famous for their BBQ sandwiches . Right off the light rail so it's perfect for lunch - Be ready for lines around 11. You will fall in love with their sauce- which they sell by the gallon.

Danny Pena

If you are undecided try value meal #2 and ask to have them with all three meats! Yum. And don't forget the BBQ sauce .

Connie Houser

The peach cobbler is well worth getting. And You get a heaping amt. The beans had too much of a ketchup taste. I would pass on these.

2010 Best of Phoenix Winner: Best BBQ Sauce ! There's no flavor in town quite like Honey Bear's thin but sticky sauce — sweet but tangy and mighty addicting. Read more

Garrett Kidd

BEST Bbq in town !! know the family and they are awesome people. Get everything cause its all good.

David LaSpaluto

For a healthy alternative , chicken salad is decent, and a good size; they'll let you put bbq sauce on it. Chicken here isn't the highest quality but bbq sauce is great.

Try The Combo Number One With Coleslaw & A Soft Drink .

Try The Iced Tea . It's Delicious & Refreshing!

Marilyn M Visconto

Rib tips on Fridays are the win. Plus the Mac and cheese is awesome

ADRIENNE STARR

Ribs , cowbro beans & catfish

Steven Groves

Try the sweet potato tater tots - pretty darn good and better for you (well ... slightly better)

Jeff S

The BBQ sauce has a good kick to it. Dip your food in it.

Thomas Hunsaker

Get the Large BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and dine-in for extra sauce!

Aanya Bananya

Got value meal 2, was not bad. However, the buns got soggy too fast. The bathroom was disgustingly dirty . Had a restaurant.com certificate. Don't think I'd pay full price.

Justin Stewart-Maynard

They have Big Red cream soda on tap at the fountain !

Kevin B

Pulled pork sandwich with the sauce is a winner

Roselle Cavaleri
