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
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.
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 .
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
BEST Bbq in town !! know the family and they are awesome people. Get everything cause its all good.
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!
The meats where dry and chewy. I'll try the ribs next. Cornbread was yummy!
What happened to their 4sq checkin special: a free side? Its the little things, Honey Bs!!
I love the barbecue sauce here, delicious!
Yummy!!! Love the sauce
Rib tips on Fridays are the win. Plus the Mac and cheese is awesome
Ribs , cowbro beans & catfish
Try the sweet potato tater tots - pretty darn good and better for you (well ... slightly better)
The BBQ sauce has a good kick to it. Dip your food in it.
Get the Large BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and dine-in for extra sauce!
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.
They have Big Red cream soda on tap at the fountain !
Pulled pork sandwich with the sauce is a winner
Great 4square friends/newbie discount
RC to drink!
Watch for Groupons; I didn't have any problem using it, though employees were still learning how to apply it.
Thu, Fri, Sat CATFISH ! Yum!

Stay away from the mac & cheese .
Check out new tables!
Lame. Be wary of buying groupons. They poat offer and dont leave scanner for employees to scan. Then they say they cant use although u already bought thw offer. Plus meat was Cold. Very Disappointed.
Not awful but sure not what it used to be.
This place sucks now

Food is delicious. The beans were amazing as well as the potato salad. I love their pecan pie. And all of the meats have been tasty. And I like that they have an ice chest of beer to grab. - Rustin Reidhead
