I got the catfish dinner with mac and cheese with the bro beans. I also got a side of peach cobbler when I say the food was delicious. The catfish was seasoned well and crispy. The macaroni&cheese was the prefect. The beans took me back to my childhood. They have sausage or hotdogs in them. They were just darn good! The peach cobbler was good, I like my crust flaky. I will order again.

Overall pleasant experience. Brisket was very moist and tasty. The brisket however, came chopped and we were not offered to have it be sliced. 9/10 The pulled pork was good but a little dry. 8/10 The BBQ sauce was very tasty. It was a little acidic. 9/10 The Mac was a 6/10, a little bland. Collard greens were good. 7/10 Baked beans were tasty. It tasted a bit like they had a tomato sauce base with some kind of pepper. 8/10 Normal French fries were very good 8/10. However, the chicken cheese fries the fries were soggy. 4/10 The ribs were very good. They came pre-coated with BBQ sauce which I’m not normally a fan of but the BBQ sauce was good so it ended up good. They meat could have been seasoned more pre-BBQ sauce and also they were a little inconsistent with a few being dry. 8/10 The coleslaw was good. 8/10 The peach cobbler was not good. Peaches tasted like canned peaches and the crust was like a bad pie crust. 1/10 Overall pretty good place. The meats were all good but the sides were a bit of a let down compared to our expectations. Fast service, and decent building. Because the dessert let us down so much it lost a star.

Got food from the food truck. Literally 3 oz of meat for $17. Came in a tiny container. Would have gotten double the amount for same price at a restaurant on this street.

Once again, Honey Bear's hit it out of the park! Pulled pork, chicken, and fried catfish with sides and peach cobbler! The best!

This cost me $27.85. It was a soggy pulled pork sandwich, three ribs (only one of which was decent), six spoonfuls of potato salad, and a regular fountain drink. The menu had it priced at $20.89. See attached photos. Where did the extra seven dollars come from? At 21 bucks this meal is semi-justifiable. At almost 30 I’m not even taking a second look. I went to Honey Bear’s monthly as a kid and a young adult, I went back today because I was in the neighborhood and I can confidently say I won’t ever be back after this experience.
