Yukon BBQ Pit Smoke & Grill Bar • $$
1 Great America Parkway, Gurnee

“This restaurant could probably survive (with some lower cost) outside of a theme park. I only have tried one thing, the pulled cajun chicken and Mac and cheese) and they were really good. There's a selection of sauces at your table. If you have a dining pass, I would suggest visiting this place. If you don't, it will cost you a good penny (18-16 per entree, that does include a side).“

There was not a single thing that I thought was “meh” and the green beans were amazing, much improved since last year. We will continue to get these holiday dinners as long as you offer them! Can’t wait for Christmas!“

“I enjoyed the brisket and green beans; however, I didn't care for the Bama chicken. The restaurant was nice and clean. They offered several different bbq sauces, which was nice. The person who waited on us was efficient but not very friendly.“

“I had the pleasure of carrying out at Honey Bay’s tonight, and it was a fantastic experience. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a welcoming atmosphere. I started with the cornbread, which was perfectly moist and had a hint of sweetness. For the main course, I tried the smothered pork chops and they were divine tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The collard greens and baked mac&cheese the best combination, perfect sides! Seasoned to perfection! The service was attentive and friendly, making me feel right at home. I also appreciated the southern decor that added to the overall soul food vibe. If you're looking for a place that serves hearty, delicious soul food! This is definitely the spot to visit! I'll be coming back for sure! Not to mention the perfect seasoned, cooked rib tip! Mild or spicy 😮‍💨 my family and I enjoyed every single bite, I thank you for making tonight a memorable night and an amazing dinner served in our table.“

“As we all should've learned by now, at the first time of hunger you should go seek food. Popular places take time to ensure a good meal. However, I made the mistake of ordering XL tips, with sauce on the side and didn't even get the second sauce I paid for. Never should I do this again, the meat was so dry and some had a crunchy texture. As a reminder ordering two smaller orders soaked in two different sauces. Just a helpful reminder besides pans, your choices are: 2XL, XL, L, S.
Standing room only, orders filled quickly, and take out only.

Vegetarian options: Not that I know of.

Dietary restrictions: Not that I know of, southern food.

Parking: Parking south of the building is limited, but a stroll on the North side of the building.
A walkway from the Northside I'm not sure, and there is only one door.

Kid-friendliness: No

Wheelchair accessibility: No, automatic doors.“

“My favorite diner in Waukegan. In full honesty, I love the small hole-in-the-wall aesthetic. Some may find it cramped, but I think it's cozy. I love sitting at the bar, drinking the coffee, watching the cook do their thing. Menu is good. Staff is kind.“
