“Delicious food!!! Loved our burgers and fries. Each one was unique and super flavorful. Only downside was there were no seats in the shade outside. Our choices were to sit outside in the sun or inside the stuffy room that felt like there was no A/C. Lots of seating available, just none that were really comfortable.“

Ham Salad Sandwich Combo

“First visit to HBH today. Very impressive operation
Of course the ham is spectacular. Full flavored, easy to slice and serve and is always a holiday favorite. But I’ve never been to a company store like this!!!
I just showed up and was only in the store for about 10 minutes. I left with an 8 lb ham for $103.

I do have a few tips to offer. You can call ahead and prepay over the phone or use their website which will speed up your pickup process. There were three registers handling prepaid orders and only one handling the walk up orders like me.
Another great tip is go to Costco first and purchase two $50 gift cards for only $80 !!
This will save you 20% which is a great value.
Oh and be certain to spend some time browsing in the store at all their wonderful items like sauces, mustard, rolls and various delectable items.
They also have prepared food to go so you can pick up a meal for lunch or dinner . Enjoy“

We ordered burnt ends, wings, original pizza added sausage and burrata app..... SOOO good. the ends were perfectly smoked and tender, burrata was simple but delicious and flavorful and that pizza was the best authentic pizza we all loved!!! Great service by both staff here. Bread pudding was anazing!!!! All around definitely coming back when in town!!“
