Honey One BBQ

We went to dinner at Honey One BBQ in Chicago.  We had heard about this place from watching $24 in 24 on the Food Network.  But they have also been featured on Chicago's Best and Check Please.

Chicken wings
Chicken wings - some of the best Nick has every had.  They had enough meat on them to make it worth eating. They came with fries, bbq sauce and 2 slices of bread. The sauce on the wings was tangy yet sweet.  Unlike other bbq sauces, we couldn't classify it to a particular style or region. It was unique on its own.

Pulled Pork Sandwich - The sandwich came with coleslaw on it and fries on the side.  We wish there was more meat on the sandwich.
Both of the entrees came with fries; we didn't know that for sure when we ordered them (the menu doesn't really specify it) so we got from fried okra as well.  The okra was pretty typical; nothing super special.

Final thoughts on Honey One BBQ:
Food - The wings were great.  They had a lot of rib options on the menu so that must be a popular item. We could smell the smoky bbq flavor from blocks away.
Service - You order your food at a counter and then the food is either brought to you to dine in or you can carry out. It seemed like the food took a long time to get out to us - and there were really only 2 other tables full of people there at the time. Apparently quality and freshness doesn't go with speed.
Atmosphere - Casual atmosphere.  There are several tables where you can dine in. There is a tv in the dining area so we were able to watch part of a NCAA tournament game while we were waiting.
