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!

Honey Boys will melt in your mouth the best barbecue hands down you'll ever find. The sides are so amazing also and tasty. Excellent customer service and food served with the most beautiful brightest smiles you'll ever see.

Couldn't wait til I got home. Fries are fresh and good too. Not those old ones like other places sit their rib tips on top of. The meat is delicious. I love how they cut it too. Not those little nuggets but bigger meaty pieces. Sauce was great and different. Their own flavor. Not overly sweet. I like that. This is the spot. And they're attached to a cash only bar next door, same entryway. I used my debit card at Honey Boys. Park on the street or in back. You could almost miss it. GPS needs to be updated as it takes you to the back door. Their food is everything I wanted it to be. And I drove over here thinking I might get disappointed. Not here!

Hard to find but worth the search. Bring your stomach 'cause the rib tips portions are enormous. Slow roasted brisket was tender. The sauce was a sweet secret. Check it out before a show when in Rockford.
