Honey 1 BBQ: Discover Chicago's Hidden Barbeque Gem

Service was quick, portions were pretty large, flavor was good, and I'd have liked more sauce. Got the half rack and tips/link combo. It wasn't very greasy, and I didn't feel like I ate a brick after, like with some bbq. Will probably come back because it's a short trip away.

I've been eating these succulent tips and spicy links for over 10years without a miss. I use to go to the Bucktowm location (I live in Uptown). Now I rent a car to satisfy Rib Tip Jones. Serious BBQ, no frills, CASH ONLY. ATM at the location. I call in, so, no wait.

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.

I FINALLY made it to Honey’s and ima run it back! Food was fast and fye! Tip n link combo was DELISH! The link was cut up and that threw me off but I quickly got over it, ya know? And u BETTER get the okra. It’s sooo good. Oh yea. How could I forget the chicken wings? They were good too. I have nothing bad to say about this place…seriously. do t forget to bring that good, old fashioned CASH!

SAUCYYYY!! Food was BOMB DIDDY! Tender rib tips with flavorful mouthfuls! Plenty of sauce for the tips fries and bread! Even the leftovers were just as delicious! I would have preferred my slices of bread on the bottom of my tips, just a simple suggested for next time I will voice. Service was awesome! Quick & sufficient ready in 10mins for pickup! The ambiance was there. Cozy and friendly of course, and with comfy seating for your wait. place had great customer service! Check 'em out!

If you’re looking for them to be welcoming they’re not!!… Not rude but not welcoming or thankful for patronage. The chicken tips were good the beans were HORRIBLE taste like cinnamon was the base & sugar was the rest.. u need liquid flavor!!

Yeahhhhh they snapping up in there!! I ordered an extra large tip and link combo and a small potato salad which totaled about $27. That size tip feeds about 3-4 people. It was exceptional….DO YOU HEAR ME! I got sauce on the side. I hateeee bbq sauce but theirs is a sweet and spicy mix of deliciousness! The tips were tender and the links were lightly charred and delicious as well. I highly recommend them! Forget Alice’s!!! This place is fresh and fast!!!!!

Food was phenomenal. I got the rib tips and sausage combo and they were juicy and tender. The tips had a nice crust on them. My wife was a little bummed because they were out of catfish, but she did like the perch. The fried okra was perfectly battered and crispy. I would have like some salt on the fries and okra but that is barely worth noting. If you are looking for good BBQ in the area, this is definitely one of the best places.
