This Honey Bear's BBQ is located just south of my office so we've eaten here a number of times. Just fantastic food!

A warm family atmosphere and the mouth-watering smell of barbecued ribs greets patrons as they walk through the door at Honey Bear's BBQ.
Honey Bear's BBQ is well known for the secret Tennessee barbecue flavors and sauces which have been handed down through generations for over 50 years to Gary Clark and Mark Smith.
Clark and Smith, lifetime friends, grew up together in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They came to Scottsdale Community College in 1980 to play football and get their degrees in business. In 1986, when they were only 24, they opened their first Honey Bear's restaurant on East Van Buren Street. It immediately received New Times' Best of Phoenix Award, a distinction it has been awarded every year since.
The partners willingly share one part of their secret for Honey Bear's unique Tennessee smoked barbecue: "We cook from the heart and from the soul."
