Honey 1 BBQ is like the only legit north side barbecue spot and the reviews of it on yelp are infuriating
This place totally sucks. I have eatten BBQ Everywhere in this country and this is seriously as bad as Orlando FL suburb mall BBQ.
I went with a friend, who granted is a chef. We both ordered pulled-pork sandwiches. We were the only people in this entire place and it took at least 35 minutes to get our food. A child, seriously like 12 years old brought it out. Why is my pulled pork wrapped with fries on top in a piece of wax paper? Why is it about 5 inches wide? For that matter, why is it just cooked pork, with a squirt of BBQ sauce on top?
Gross.
These two TINY sandwiches and soda cost almost 25 bucks?!?
Do yourself a favor and walk seriously, 3 blocks down to Fat Willy's which is awesome. Or even head or to Calvin's a few blocks over on Armitage.

ha, from a YELP review of a gigantic local bookstore written by an ilxor!:
Some weird things about JB: 1. The (men's) bathroom. The urinals aren't private at all. I used to get the creeps there when I was younger. 2. They put Jeff Buckley in the folk section. 3. I stole a dungeons and dragons book from there once. I think they need better security.
OTM!

I'm doing a BBQ tour of Chicago right now. So far we've done Fat Willy's (excellent), Smoque (also excellent), Merle's in Evanston (good), and Honey 1 (so-so.) Honey 1 is at the bottom of the pack because, unlike pretty much every other place on here, it didn't really leave us blown away. It was good, but not great 'cue. We really liked the family running the place, though. They were really friendly and helpful. The place seemed to be doing well too. Their dining room was pretty full at 8:00 on a Wednesday night.
lol @ putting merles in evanston above honey 1

A whole bunch of this stuff is people either propping their own organisations, or anono-dissing competing organisations, isn't it?

"1. The (men's) bathroom. The urinals aren't private at all. I used to get the creeps there when I was younger."
im not sure what this is talking about, but has anyone else been locked up for a good 10-15 seconds when trying to piss in one of those fucking troughs they have at baseball stadiums?

deej, how do you rate Hecky's?
― jaymc, Tuesday, 18 March 2008 18:00 (sixteen years ago) link
i love heckys but its also a personal thing, he was huge in the community everyone knows him here. his sauce is fantastic, i always keep a jar, but hes not doing 'authentic'-style bbq and in the grand scheme heckys is near the top of mid-tier bbq joints
― deej, Tuesday, 18 March 2008 18:01 (sixteen years ago) link
oh and im referring to evanston heckys btw, the heckys near cabrini is terrible and not actually run by hecky, some dude just licensed the name and logo
― deej, Tuesday, 18 March 2008 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I assumed as much. I had some good cornbread from the Evanston Hecky's once.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 18 March 2008 18:04 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah its great there too, my friend did his website pro bono so i get free bbq when we stop in sometimes

I find the nyc restaurant/bar reviews useful but you have to filter out all the people who give one-star write-ups to williamsburg bars and restaurants that just say "full of hipsters!!#%@$!"
even with all that type of junk there seems to be more "real people" honest reviews and less shills than on places like citysearch

Fine the yelp reviews of Honey 1 can suck, that will keep too many people out of there so it doesn't get ruined. Calvin's and Fat Willy's BLOW.

Lupita's Pupuseria Category: Mexican Neighborhood: East Oakland

My impression is the quality of Yelp contributions on the WC is greater than that on the East.

* every fucking annoying 10000-review east asian girl reminding you that she knows what real (korean/japanese/chinese) food is like and this place (measures up|does not measure up|is ok) in every fucking asian place ever *

still, better than fat jewish dudes who claim to know what real asian food is like, no?
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 18 March 2008 19:01 (sixteen years ago) link
one reason i dont yelp is because if i did i would just end up rating every italian restaurant and pizza place in LA as one star and start all my reviews with "I'm from New Jersey, so I know what real Italian food is."
