Honey 1 BBQ

Aweful. Don't believe what you see on Chicago Best.  Recommend the Links

I'm going to guess that the majority of the 5-star reviews that state "Honey 1 is the BEST place for BBQ in Chicago OMG!!!" are from people who have never been to one of the many places in the city with better BBQ.  

Stopped in here the other day with a group from work for lunch.  Plenty of free side street parking nearby which is surprising, considering the neighborhood.  I ordered the rib tip combo (small) based on a recommendation.  What I got were fatty little bits of meat on big peices of bone, about six fries, and a cheap dollop of BBQ sauce, between two peices of...get this...Wonder Bread.  Wonder Bread?  Are you kidding me?  Is this Honey 1's idea of being creative and edgy and unique?  What am I supposed to do with two slices of white bread?  I looked at it all and kind of felt like like this was a lunch packed by my mom and that I was in 3rd grade all over again.

All said and done, the rib tips weren't TOO bad.  The sauce was good, and I can't rate the fries because, as mentioned, I received about six of them and they were drenched in the sauce - not enough to rate.  I will not return here - Smoque is still by far my BBQ place of choice!

Honey 1 is really delicious!!  The sauce is a little spicy but not overpowering, it has really good flavor.  I got the pulled pork sandwich, it was really good with the coleslaw on it.  Other members of my group got the rib-tips, fried okra, perch and wings.  Everything was fantastic.  

We also loved the fact that it was a BYOB.  I definitely recommend Honey 1.
