food was good overpriced and the service was lackluster no customer service just "what you want"

I found myself over at Bellevue for dinner, 2 hours before my hockey game. I wanted quality food but not super carb heavy but also not something that could potentially wreck my stomach. After all, can you imagine having digestive problems while playing hockey? I love barbecue so I thought I'd try this place. I walked in and it wasn't at all busy at 5:32. However when I finished my order, the line was out the door. I asked the cashier what was good and the manager (maybe owner) walked over and I asked him. I wanted ribs or brisket, but needed a 2nd opinion. He said he would choose brisket because theirs is USDA Prime and he would put it against any other barbecue restaurant in Tennessee. Those are some bold words. So I ordered the brisket platter (fatty portion) with green beans and cinnamon baked apples. What I received was 3 good sized portions (1/2 pound) of fatty brisket. The meat was tender, melt in your mouth without an overbearing amount of fat clumped together. The bark was salty and very peppery. It was actually good enough to eat without a sauce. Speaking of, there was only one sauce on the table, so I used that. It was a sweet sauce, definitely honey-based but not overly sweet like other honey-based sauces I've had in the past. The thing is I love everything honey-related, so I would definitely buy this to take home. It was so good, I was scavenging for brisket fibers on my plate. So I praised the brisket but I think the shocker was the green beans. These were hands down, the best green beans I've ever had...ever. Salty, tender, peppery, with chunks of meat and fat, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Who would have thought that a side could be that good? Last but not least, the Cinnamon Baked Apples. I love baked/fried apples. Something about the tart and sweetness brings me back every time. The apples were soft, but not mushy. I would have liked them to be a little more tender and more slices of apples. I think there was more sauce than apples but nevertheless, they were great. Overall I'm glad I visited Honeyfire for the first time. I'm here often (near Bellevue) so I'll definitely be coming back again and again. read more

I needed to eat before an appointment in the area & decided to stop in for lunch. I was happy to find they have really good lunch specials, which start as low as $9.99. The place is open, spacious & clean. The team members are kind. There's free parking out front & in the surrounding area.

Slam dunk here! Amazing BBQ that pulls together more twists for a standout menu. Great staff, clean, nice open play area just outside. Food portion and price was nice too.

HoneyFire BBQ - Smoked chicken tray - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We were trying to decide where to eat in Assembly Hall and as we walked by HoneyFire the smell drew us in. The pulled pork sandwich was tender and I enjoyed their sauce. The smoked chicken was seasoned really well. I didn't care for the Mac and cheese but I didn't expect much when I saw it was queso Mac and cheese. I added some of the baked beans and it made all the difference. The green beans were good as well. If there's a line it's worth the wait. read more

HoneyFire BBQ - Incredible pulled pork with BOURBON BAKED BEANS - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Ordered 2lbs of turkey today and it was so dry. You could literally see how dry it was even before tasting it. Tried calling the phone number and it's busy all the time so you can't talk to anyone. Throwing $40 of meat out, it's that bad. This is one Bellevue resident who will never buy anything from them again. Too expensive and bad bbq in Nashville just doesn't fly. read more

Absolutely the Best BBQ in Nashville - Honey Fire BBQ on Sawyer Brown Rd is a Must-Try! I recently visited Honey Fire BBQ in the Bellevue area and left completely impressed. From the moment you walk in, the place feels welcoming with its clean, modern vibe and that cozy wrap-around covered porch--perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. The star of the show is their slow-smoked meats paired with that signature sweet heat sauce. The brisket was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, the ribs had the perfect bark and fall-off-the-bone texture, and the pulled pork was juicy and delicious. Their house-made sauces (especially the honey-based ones with just the right touch of tangy sweetness and a little kick) elevate everything--I've never tasted BBQ quite like this Nashville twist on tradition. Sides were equally outstanding: the baked beans had a great depth of flavor, the mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the sweet corn pudding was a standout. Everything felt fresh, generous, and made with care. Service was friendly and efficient--true Southern hospitality that made us feel like family. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, this spot delivers every time. If you're in Nashville (or driving through Bellevue), do yourself a favor and head to Honey Fire BBQ on Sawyer Brown Rd. It's become my new go-to for outstanding barbecue. Highly recommend. I will definitely return and bring friends. From our family to yours--thank you, Honey Fire! read more

Yummy brisket and perfect spot with great ambiance for a quick delicious bbq lunch by the movie theater. I don't like my sweet and savory, so I didn't like the glaze on the sausage, but the sausage itself was tasty. Apples were way too sweet. The service was fast, efficient and friendly. They ask you how you like the brisket.. fatty, lean, or both. They don't give you much brisket, but it was super good. I'd like to come back try the other menu items but so far so good. read more

Our family's go-to for takeout. The food is especially delicious and pleases everyone.

Friendly staff, great food except for the baked beans, only been to this location a few times when I was in the area, looking forward to visiting the new location near Brentwood. read more

I really want to like this place, but it's just okay. Pros: service was prompt and friendly Ample free parking Clean restroom Decent prices Good brisket Cons: Chicken and pulled pork were just okay, nothing special. Requires a lot of bbq sauce to flavor. Green beans are the only veggie side dish (no collards or sprouts?!) No cornbread The Mac and cheese was bland I'd go back if I were doing something else in frat strip (movies or something) and others wanted to go, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Very glad I ate here because it was an excellent experience! The place was very clean, the service was excellent and best of all, the bbq was absolutely scrumptious.

HoneyFire BBQ - My pork bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

On a road trip for spring break my family and I were passing through Nashville around dinner time. Even though it was a little out of the way, HoneyFire BBQ's menu and pictures of their food impressed us, so we detoured for dinner. I got a three meat plate (smoked sausage and a double order of ribs) with queso mac and cheese and sweet corn pudding, my wife got the queso brisket appetizer, one kid got the turkey club salad, and the other got kids popcorn chicken with baked cinnamon apples. We also ordered honey flat fries and wings with their honey dry rub to share. All of the food was great. The ribs were moist, even though I only got them with dry rub, and the sausage was good quality. My wife and son that shared some of the items that had queso on them thought it had a little too much heat, but it was perfect as far as I was concerned, particularly on the mac and cheese. They don't have cornbread, which is sad, but the sweet corn pudding was good alternative. I liked the sweet rub on the wings and wish I had bought a bottle or two before we left. The kids both liked their salad and popcorn chicken. We sat outside on a perfect night in the low 60's. There wasn't much traffic going through the shopping center at that time of day, so it was relatively peaceful. read more

HoneyFire is my new favorite fast casual spot! My husband and I typically run errands in the One Bellevue shopping center and popped in for lunch. I love a good salad, and the southwest salad with pulled pork was incredible. It was heavy on the toppings and so filling! You order at the counter, and the line moves quickly. The team is super friendly. Our food came out much faster than we were expecting! Prices are reasonable, and there is plenty of parking. read more

This BBQ spot in the Bellevue One shopping center is a real treat! The owners clearly put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming space with plenty of seating inside and out on the patio. The vibe is modern and relaxed with good rock and classic rock playing, a few unobtrusive TVs so you can catch a game, but it doesn't feel like a sports bar. There's even a full bar in the back with a strong bourbon selection, so whiskey fans will be very happy here. Now for the food: I can only speak to the brisket because it's the only thing I ever order; it's that good! The brisket plate is outstanding (you can choose fatty or lean, but the fatty is best), and the sides are all solid. The brisket tacos are another must-try. As for sides, the cole slaw is creamy, fresh, and classic. The cold pimento macaroni is a fun twist and absolutely delicious. But my favorite side by far is the bourbon baked beans, made with three types of beans, bacon, and BBQ sauce. They've got a unique flavor with just the right kick of heat. So good! The BBQ sauce is house-made and really different. It's dark, tangy, with a sticky touch of honey sweetness. I'd happily buy bottles of it if they sold it. And I think they do. Huge respect to the owners! You've built something special here. Thank you for bringing such great BBQ to Bellevue and please don't ever leave! read more

Fantastic! I don't love bbq but we stopped here on our way out of town. The burger was delicious, fresh, hot, not smokey. Flat fries were unique and good! The food was served super fast and we would definitely eat here again. The area is enjoyable; perfect if you have kids because it's safe for them to run around on the turf while you eat. read more

Loved our visit to Honeyfire BBQ! The brisket spud was delicious--I'd definitely order it again.

HoneyFire BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Overall our experience is good... I am spoiled when it's comes to BBq coming from Memphis, so I am never pleased having bbq, but this was a good surprise... mostly due to the variety and twist... husband had the simple pork bbq sandwich... he is easy to please so no complaints... I went with the pork tacos and I enjoyed them... and portions were good... we both had the flat fries and seasoning was good... I had the friend apples which I did enjoy maybe heavy on the goo... we also tried the queso Mac and cheese which might be my only complaint, it was heavy queso with flat flavor... I ended up using the fry for a vessel bc the seasoning the fries was just what the Mac and cheese needed to elevate it.. Food was super quick and still warm/hot.. and service was on top of cleaning the tables read more

Atmosphere was nice and place was large and clean. Outdoor seating was available. Full bar available. Staff was nice. The pulled pork was moist and fresh, the Spud was undercooked and hard. Flavor in the baked apple was good just too much sauce for my liking. Husband had the Alabama Slammer added Jalapeños. No jalapeños came and had to go back to ask for them. Pimento Mac and cheese he said was unique, coleslaw was ok. Being from Texas where we are all about BBQ I would give this one 3 stars of 5. read more

HoneyFire BBQ - I was gonna take a picture of the food, but I ate it too quick lol - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I'm not sure how I first heard about honey fire barbecue, but man I am glad that I went there. My friends and I went out for lunch and I'll try different versions of the pick two meat platters. Between us we tried the brisket pulled pork, sausage, and chicken. The sausage was by far the best meat available although all of them were really good. The sides were also delicious. We had some of the best beans I've ever had, incredible corn, pudding, and banana pudding with Nutter butters that rocked our world. The coleslaw was all right, and the mac & cheese was good as well. It was a Saturday afternoon during lunch. There was a lot of people there and the line did get long at some points. I'dI liked that there was both an outdoor and indoor seating area as there were a lot of kids inside. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Part of me is really glad that it is in Bellmead and part of me is really sad as I'd love to eat here more often, but my waistline would prefer I didn't. This may be one of my favorite local barbecue spots in all of Nashville now. read more

Food is amazing service always great. Best brisket I've had in a long time. It's all good.

Very casual, family friendly environment. You place your order at a counter and can seat yourself throughout the space. Food was good. The chicken was flavorful however, I prefer pulled chicken when having BBQ. When ordering the brisket you can choose between lean, fatty or mixed which was nice. There is only one BBQ sauce which is a much sweeter sauce. Sides were decent. The corn pudding was the best side we ordered. Overall, good and easy meal! read more

HoneyFire BBQ - SOUTHWEST BBQ SALAD - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My barbecue resume goes back a solid 20+ years and I've enjoyed watching the Nashville community grow with places like Martin's barbecue joint, porker, and the granddaddy of all Nashville barbecue: Jack's! All of that to say I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to Q, especially with my travels to Memphis over the years, rounding out my resume. So, imagine my surprise when just a few miles from my house here in Bellevue I learned of honey fire barbecue. My initial reaction was skepticism, but after many trips, both dining in and taking out it is one of our favorite go to places, especially for their wings. Their barbecue is solid, but what differentiates honey fire is, for us, is their smoked wings with their own dry rub seasoning. And, here's the kicker, they have a wonderful selection of whiskeys you can enjoy while sitting at the bar eating your wings. The staff is very knowledgeable on their bourbons and whiskeys. my one criticism would be. They often are out of some of the more exotic and I'd like to see them stay on top of that a little bit better as they've been out the last couple times. If they don't have a better process for maintaining inventory, then they need to keep their menus Updated, as my wife called out a couple the last time we were there, and they were out of both of them. I don't think it's just bad timing. In terms of ambience, I would rate it good tofair. Can get a little bit cold and loud due to the concrete floors, etc., but on the positive side they have nice outdoor seating options when the weather permits. Overall, a pleasant gem in an otherwise aired barbecue landscape in Bellevue. read more

As a Californian, I wasn't sure how my opinion on authentic BBQ would hold up, but my first experience with Tennessee BBQ set the bar. After a nearly 4-hour flight and not eating all day, I wasted no time in finding a place on Yelp. I ordered the Par Four, which included brisket, sausage, ribs, and turkey, along with a salad, a few sides, and, of course, banana pudding. I drove about 40 minutes from my hotel to the restaurant, and let me tell you, I would have gladly driven over two hours for this BBQ. The quality is unparalleled compared to anything I've had back in California--it's like comparing fine dining to a diner. The food was so good that I couldn't finish it all in one sitting and found myself waking up at 3:30 am to enjoy the leftovers, which were just as delicious, if not more so. This experience has earned a solid 5/5 on my quest for great BBQ. Next on my list is some Nashville hot chicken and a fried catfish sandwich. Thank you, Honey Fire, and your wonderful hostess, for the excellent service and incredible food! read more

Pretty decent bbq. Coming from living in Texas it's better than most places but TX is still king. Went with the brisket plate. Brisket had a nice bark that was seasoned well and the brisket slices had nice fattiness to it. The brisket itself was surprisingly a little dry though it looked really moist and glistened. The bbq sauce wasn't too sweet and thick and complimented it well. The Cole slaw was very lightly dressed, a little too light for my liking. The cornbread was great as it had a nice corn taste and texture and was moist. The spicy beans I really enjoyed as the texture was on point as the beans weren't mushy and they had a nice heat. read more

The attention to detail in their food shows in its taste!! Very very good brisket with a great bark but so juicy! Would recommend.

Excellent BBQ and Top Notch Service. This is a great location with the best staff! We loved our Bartender, Jet, who made some great cocktails and stellar food service at the bar. The wings and pulled pork were amazing! Loved the brisket Queso and Parmesan Green Beans. We had a fun and memorable time watching the Kentucky Derby while having an early dinner and amazing cocktails. Thoughtful selection of bourbon... Give this place a try! Five Stars all the way! Can't wait to go back! Very clean and great ambiance for a low key dinner. read more
