My family tried Honey Boys BBQ for the first time today and it will definitely not be our last. This place is the real deal. Amazing food, good portion sizes, and the best customer service. The wings were definitely a favorite and the cake they had for dessert today was so good! The food alone would keep me coming back but the sweet owners are the icing on the cake! Go get some!!!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ary Moreno · Feb 2026

They catered to Amazon and WOW, juicy and flavorful! By far one of the best I’ve had in awhile! I’m super picky but darn good! Not a fan of the Mac and cheese BUT maybe if it was more fresh I would be answering different!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jody Thompson · Feb 2026

Honey Boys catered for us today and all I can say is FANTASTIC! Perfectly prepared, falling off the bone rib tips, delicious chicken add Mac and Cheese and the best Cole Slaw I have had in a long time!!! Oh and the BBQ sauce-YUM!

★★★★★ 5.0 Antonio Johnson · Mar 2026

Honey Boys BBQ is hands down one of the best spots in town. There’s honestly nothing else like it around here. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, packed with flavor, and perfectly seasoned. The brisket was moist, juicy, and cooked just right with that real slow-smoked taste you can’t fake. You can tell they take pride in their food. Everything tasted fresh, and the quality speaks for itself. If you’re craving real BBQ, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Andrea Miller · Dec 2025

The food was unbelievable, some of the best I've had anywhere and the service was even better! We were offered complimentary soda while we waited and samples of a few of their menu and off menu items. The portions for the price were fantastic as well. I'll be back!
