Only BBQ available on the menu are links, rib tips and ribs.

Links were ehh, so-so.

Ribs were good-very good

By far the best meat was the rib-tips. Deep smokey flavors and a sauce that has a heat quotient that builds up on you. Don’t get me wrong, it is not overly hot, after a few tips I noticed my lips were burning slightly, in a good way. Some of the best tips in Chicago.

Fries as with almost every single BBQ joint in Chicago sucked. For some reason these places can dole out the loving long-term care needed to smoke meats but some quick frying they can’t master. My guess is, they know one doesn’t come for the fries.

Honey 1 BBQ
Hours: Mon-Sat 11am-12am, Sun 12pm-6pm
Honey 1 now has a new location as of late September, they are now located:
