After tasting Honey 1 Barbeque I only purchase my rib tips and hotlink combos from them. They have delicious tender meat and their customer service skills are great.

Honey 1 BBQ in Chicago is known for some of the best BBQ, with generous portions and quick service. Customers recommend the pulled pork, but it's often unavailable. The pulled tips and link combo is popular, with tender meat but could use more flavor, and the sauce is just okay. The restaurant is cash-only, with an ATM that may not work. While not the top BBQ joint in the area, it’s a good place to find a satisfying meal without feeling overly greasy. Recent visitors praise the food’s quality and the friendly staff, noting that the smoked BBQ ribs, slab ribs, fries, coleslaw, and sides like mac & cheese and potato salad are delicious. The sauce has been called amazing, and many recommend just ordering without hesitation. Customers also appreciate the good customer service and the pride the staff take in preparing the food.
However, some recent experiences have been disappointing. One visitor mentioned that the staff is not welcoming and found the beans horrible, tasting like cinnamon and sugar, needing liquid flavor. Another customer shared frustration over not being able to substitute items or get accurate information when calling ahead, leading to a bad experience and feeling like they wouldn't return. Despite these issues, many long-time customers still enjoy the succulent tips and spicy links, which have been a favorite for over 10 years. The place is serious about BBQ, with no frills, and operates on a cash-only basis, with an ATM available at the location. Customers who call ahead can avoid waiting, making it a convenient spot for those craving hearty BBQ in Chicago.
