Eff me.. the day I finally posted my review of this place, after they had that menu for exactly 8 years, they changed everything on me. For the worse... I tried and tried but my TOP THREE reasons for going here are now gone. Big smooth? Gone. Dirt burger? Adios. Arrgh!! Further, the bartender just told us, "Yeah, some people like the new menu, and some don't". Great, thanks for finding mediocre acceptable and devaluing over a decade's patronage. It will be a long while before I go here again, which is absolutely too bad. The new menu items were AWFUL too.. they're pretentiously served on a small, square, faux-Asian yuppie plate and are prepared with frozen ingredients. The gravy on the open-faced ciabatta crap roll was just the frozen stuff Field Roast or Tofurky sells with their Thanksgiving meals or something. The bread was too chewy, the food was too salty... tasteless... aagh. I once LOVED this place... WHY HATH THOU FORSAKEN ME, HoHo!?

Mmmm... Sandwich... I love sandwiches of all shapes and sizes and the honeyhole has never failed me. I usually get the veggie blt but last night I was feelin frisky and got the dirt burger. The boy ordered the big sky burger. They showed up in all their glory. My burger looked more like 2 burgers even though I think it was just 2 halves. They were each a seperate burger in their own regard tho. The big sky burger came with bacon and an onion ring stacked on top. The boy said the beef was some of the most delicious he'd had lately. The waitress was actually quick and pleasant. I usually get ok to poor service here so this was a nice change. The fries are always crispy and many. Yum. I also like that the plates come with a pickle spear. I prefer going to the honeyhole for dinner service as opposed to the lunch service which involves you ordering from the board, having someone awkwardly yelling your name whilst whelding your food and having to order fries ala carte. In summery: I love the honeyhole. The blt is my favorite. And I will be back whenever I get a chance. Also, I can't say no to a place with a fairly sexually suggestive name. ;)

One of my favorite places to get a sandwich in Seattle (haven't been to Salumi yet). I've been here numerous times since my college days and I tend to order the same items: The Gooch.......Roast beef, red onions, and Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese on a fresh French roll served au jus for dipping and a pounder of Boddington's Cream Ale!!! I tell you, the meal isn't complete without the Boddington's... Check it out...you won't be disappointed.

Great vegetarian sandwiches and reasonably tasty fries. It's a small place without many tables and chairs. I'd be more excited about going back if it was always so mysteriously freezing in there.

I loved their old menu, and I love the new one just as much. They didn't discontinue any of my favorites (guess I'm just lucky), and I haven't noticed more than a ~$0.50 difference in my bill at the end of a meal. The servers are fast and affable. The sandwiches are huge and delicious. The fries are crispy and fantastic. The drinks are stiff. You can get incredibly well-fed and a decent buzz on for $15. What's not to love?

This place fried my taste circuit board. Two things I recommend: 1) Chachi's favorite. If you're looking for a hot turkey melt, this is all you. 2) The Western Sky Burger. It feels like the cook is reaching out from the kitchen and slapping me with one of those duel gloves, challenging me to find a better burger. The fries are a date nightmare... I find it hard not stealing them from the kitchen, let alone the person in front of me. Set ground rules and keep your eyes open.

Is it bad when you plan your outing around a restaurant? Or make an excuse to go totally out of your way to get a sandwich? Well that's how I feel about the HoneyHole. I usually order the sandwich with turkey and hummus, the name is escaping me. I also like the Waverider. Oh and the fries are awesome. It's like heaven on a plate. Lunch is SUPER BUSY but worth the wait...but if you're looking for a place to sit around lunch time you might be S.O.L. After you order a waiter/waitress will come out and scream your name at the top of their lungs so don't worry about not hearing them.

The atmosphere of this place is cool, and it's a great place for a beer, but I'm not all that excited about the sandwiches. They are alright, but really nothing special. I'd stop by (maybe) if I were nearby, but I don't think I'll seek it out again. Oh yeah, the service was kind of slow both times, but not horrible. Just don't bother stopping by in the evening if you expect to ge out quickly.

Today's mystery is: why on earth had I never gone here before today? I've never heard a bad thing about it, yet somehow it eluded me all these years. To think I once lived in walking distance, that I drive within a mile past almost daily, yet still I did not comprehend how absolutely perfect a sandwichery could be. Great atmosphere. Good music. Friendly yet interesting staff. And the food was just lovely. Nothing to cheer one up on a gloomy cold gray day, than a crusty warm sandwich dipped in hot meat juice. Admittedly, my sweet potato soup was a touch on the bland side, but it was still flavorful and well textured. A good place to have a deep conversation with a friend, while filling your belly with joy.

Great bbq sandwiches. The brisket was good and the pulled chicken was even better. Fries are nice and crisp, though as some others have noted they seem to be the battered/seasoned what is that on my potato type if that bothers you. We just stoped in one day when we walked by and couldn't resist the smell wafting out front. Service was prompt and a good drink list. A bit cramped and dim on the inside but plesant enough atmosphere for what it is. As to the amount of bread, yes the rolls they use are pretty huge but I kind of liked it since for once I didn't end up wearing my bbq sandwich and it actually stayed nicely contained between the bun.

I really like this place but it can get really packed on the weekends. Solid sandwiches and pretty good salads. Fun, lively atmosphere at night. Good place to grab a drink, meet up with friends, or partake in some late night post bar noshing.

I'm always disappointed by this place. For a restaurant that specializes in sandwiches, they really should be able to do better. The menu items sound awesome and my mouth gets all watery when they bring out my hot melty sandwich, but it never tastes as good as it should. I go to Honeyhole when other people really want to, but I never ever suggest it.

Crystal G.

Today I went to honeyhole for the first time with some classmates. Overall the food was fantastic. Im giving this 3 stars though because the guy who brought our food out was giving way too much attitude. 2 of our 3 orders were wrong so of course we sent them back, we had also asked for extra plates. When we asked to get the side of ranch we ordered the guy veryy rudely replied" is there anything else because im not coming back again". Now I understand it was lunch hour and that they were busy but to act as if it was our fault that they got our orders wrong was quite offputting. Next time I want a sandwich I'll go to other coast because I have never had a problem with their pleasant service.

Even though they no longer have the Dirt Burger (RIP), they've brought back the vegan BLT and added vegetarian chili fries to the menu. I love this place. The decor rules, too.

Dear Honey Hole, I had forgotten just how wonderful you are. It has been way too long since my last visit, and for that, I am sorry. Can you ever forgive me? Today, when I devoured your El Capitan all I kept thinking about was how this was the first time I had eaten here since moving to Capitol Hill nearly 10 months ago. I used to come all the way across town from Ballard on a more regular basis to eat your delectable sandwiches and now this. There is no excuse for my actions. Well, to make things right again, I will now make a more conscious effort to come and eat at your establishment on a more regular basis. Hopefully this will begin to make up for my neglect and absence over the last year. I only hope that you will find it in your heart to forgive me. Bryan

Love the Honey Hole, except when I can't get a table then i get a little cranky but the great thing is i can always get it to go. Most of the time i always get a sandwiches which are always great, big and tasty you don't leave there hungry, but this last time i got a burger and i loved it the only thing wrong is that it was so big and messy that i couldn't put it down on fear that it would topple over! The flavors are fantastic and i love the thick cut bacon they use. They have never skipped out of the fries either. I think it is nice that they fresh squeeze all there juices for cocktails. I really like the beer they have on tap too. I like that i know what I'm going to get when go there and i have never been disappointed. Oh and the later it gets the longer the line sometimes there is no table in sight.

I knew. I knew I loved you. I knew I loved you when. I knew I loved you when I saw a giant picture of Keith Richards as Native American on your wall. I knew I loved you when I saw a giant picture of Keith Richards as Native American on your wall and you got me drunk on some blueberry concoction that made me sing!... And so my love for Honey Hole grows. I absolutely love ordering from this place for my office lunches. The sandwiches are great - very original, flavorful, filling. The fries here are excellent! Really, you have to try them. They have a menu online ( thehoneyhole.com ) You can fax in your order, and someone will always call to confirm the arrangements, let you know about any changes. They're really great. The orders are always finished on time and, for the most part, correctly (they're a sandwich shop: they HAVE to forget at least one thing. It's like the postal service: they can't deliver ALL of your mail). The Mr. Lulu and The Gooch are popular here. For those who are veggin', give the El Guapo a try. I don't really like condiments and sauces, but, I must say, I LOVED this hot delight. A perfect lover. Happy hour is also amazing here. The cheap drinks ($3 beer, $3 well) and rich setting are a great combination. Who doesn't want a campy combination of deep red walls, feather boas, strong Long Islands, a tiki hut and tattoos? Honey Hole: Pervy name, perfect place.

I've only been to the Honey Hole a few times, but the sandwiches are really good. The whole ambiance of the restaurant is really relaxing, and it's pretty cool that there's a full bar. You don't see many sandwich joints with a bar. The service is quick and the fresh hot sandwiches are delicious.

Went back a couple of weeks ago and they changed the bread they have been using. The bread reminded me of cheap supermarket bread. If the meat wasn't so ridiculously good, they would have gotten a 2 or 3 stars.

Great hot sandwiches. I gotta say as an east coast sandwhich lover I am always skeptical eating pizza and sandwhiches outside of my native NY. Sure that's being a bit snobby, and being a bit of a jerk, but I gotta hand it to the Hole, they bring it. The fries there were quite good as well. Enjoyed a creme soda and a hot turkey sandwhich with sawuce, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Good times. It was packed when I was there and I thought the waitress did a good job managing all of the tables as well.

The first time I came here it was on a Friday at 1:30 P.M. and the place was packed, so me and me lady left. The second attempt was early Friday evening and it was busy but not bad. I had the 'Gooch' and I really enjoyed it's hot beefy goodness. The seating is limited so be patient.

BEST FRIES IN SEATTLE! (by my unscientific study) Delicious sandwiches too. Happy hour! whoo! I loved honeyhole back before I lived here. I'd go once per visit. Now that I live here I don't hang out there much, since I usually get a sandwich and fries to go. It's not a bad place to hang out I actually like it, but it can be crowded. I have their number on my phone so I can call to find out if they are still serving, prior to heading over. (I think until 10? I can never remember) I've had a few things other than the sandwiches and they were tasty. But I love sandwiches, so that's what I get most the time. But make sure you get the fries!

You know, all in all not a bad place to grab a sandwich on the Hill, but I agree with the reviewer who compared it to Quizno's (although I am glad it's not). Met the bf for a sandwich before his test today...got there right before the HUGE noon-time crowd (line was almost to the door to order, yay for us for being early!) Bf went w/ the special which had ham, peppercinis, avocado and some other stuff, he liked it enough to polish the entire thing of. I had the Texas Tease...chicken was a bit more dry than I would like it, but sauce was good and the cheese was melted perfectly. Could have done without the lesbians making out next to us...nothing wrong it it ladies, but I guess I just like my lunch a little more PG, save the public groping sessions for when the sun goes down.

minus 2 stars for horrible service. i've been a regular for years and spend about $12 a week and have tolerated their surly customer service because of their tasty sandwiches. but my last visit... well, here's the story: ordered a club tasty... a cold sandwhich, mind you. 20 minutes later, the guy that was behind me in line got his sandwhich and left. 35 minutes later, I had to walk up to the counter and ask for my money back because by this time i had 10 minutes left on my lunch break and that 10 minutes was alloted for my walk back to work.

Mmmmm such yummy sandwiches. This is for the days when I want something down and dirty. Totally wacky inside but love their BBQ sandwhich!

Honeyhole's greatest virtue is that it is open late. That's not to take away from the quality of the food and drink offered; but Honeyhole is simply not anything super-special o the victuals front.. I found the sandwiches to be the least excellent item on the menu. The soup and french fries were both better than the sandwiches. The sandwiches are tasty and sizeable, but not totally fulfilling in some intangible way. And the service here was curteous but slow. The final verdict: If you are in the First Hill area and looking for a bite to eat after 9:00 PM, this place is a good bet. But you could probably do better elsewhere.

Vincent C.

Many-a-lunches have been consumed at this fine eatery in my day and I must confess that I have yet to be truly disappointed. The only time I felt somewhat let down was when I neglected to order the french fries (traumatic). There is a nice blend between between the standard "fast food sandwiches" and "sit down restaurant" here - you get time to the time to relax and enjoy your food without having some pushy waiter trying to get you out the door with the standard "here is your bill, pay whenever you are ready...and by that I mean now." Plus they actually play good music! I have not had a chance to check this joint out for a happy hour, but intended to do so sooner than later. To recap: good eats, good tunes, good vibe...good place.

All I can say is YUM! Try the Gooch, Waverider, and the Buford T. Justice. All my favorites. My favorite place on the Hill for a delicious sandwich.

I still love you HoneyHole. You lose a star since today it took forever for my sandwich to come out. It was mid-afternoon and I hadn't eaten yet and was starving. I know your kitchen was probably just behind but I'm still a little grumpy. I think I prefer coming here during dinner instead of hunting for a table after ordering food hoping that I can find a spot by the time you bring my sandwich. Luckily though, the long wait for food today provided plenty of time for us to find a table, watch lots of other tables empty out, watch people eat their food, and then get ours.

Thought this place was just ok. As far as a sandwich place goes, the atmosphere was very odd. It seemed more like a bar than a normal sandwich joint. I had the fast eddie and it was pretty good but not anything special. With places like Paseo and Tats, dont think I will be going back but it is worth a try.

Forewarning: you may walk past it a couple times before you even know it exists. I did...twice. Which seems to be what makes it such a find. This non-conformist sandwich juggernaut is churning out a sandwich menu that will knock your socks off. Upon entrance, the decor is a wrestling match with a dive bar, tiki bar ambiance and Elvis oldies playing above. The menu is just as eclectic, with a laundry list of salivating selections to choose from. This is one of the rare times where a line to the cashier is actually beneficial: giving you time to weigh which blissful path to follow. I chose the 'Texas Teaser' which was an in-house smoked and shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, Tillamook cheese, red onions on a fluffy french roll...the next debate was whether I should just hang up my work shoes at noon and complement this with one of their fine beer selections. The staff was classic Seattle...donning more tattoos than menu items and an unimpressed attitude about the work day. There was no corporate-forced smile or standard work attire - no aprons or shop t-shirts (though they are for sale)...The cashier is pumping out the orders where the gang in the kitchen snags the orders and spins away. I would recommend this as a solid stop for anyone visiting the Seattle area. There is a local, unique feel to this place and the kind of menu to whet anyone's appetite. I guess for the faint of heart, I would perhaps point you elsewhere - as the patrons are fairly worn and weary (though friendly!) and the bathroom is less to be desired. Nonetheless, I left happy, content and whistling Elvis tunes the rest of the afternoon.

I've lived in the vicinity of this place for about 6 months now, and I finally got the courage to go in. In fact, I never realized it was a sandwich place! But I am SOO glad I did! The place is a little small, but the interior is pretty cool. Cozy, with random stuff all over, but not too kitchy. The best part: the sandwiches! I got the BLT (I forgot the special name for it), and it is awesome! Granted, it's hard to mess up a BLT, but they put a ton of bacon on there, and everything is fresh. There's nothing worse than wilty veggies! Oh, and the cute guy at the counter doesn't hurt either. ;) I think I may just become a regular...

Kameron K.

I came here because it was close to my friends place. As we walked in it was a little weird. There was a mixed crowd with really loud rock/metal music. I did like how they did have a lot of vegetarian options, but I chose the vegetarian BLT. Much to my surprise, it wasn't that great. I've had veggie bacon where it tastes like what I remember bacon tasted like, but the bacon they used here at honeyhole you could obviously tell was fo-meat and it had a gross after taste. On the plus side, the fries were really good, I've I'm ever back in Seattle, I'll still consider coming back, I'd like to try some of the other options.

I have been going here for what seems like forever. The tables are always in demand, the fries are awesome, and the decor is definitely a conversation starter on awkward dates. I go in the evening so I can get fries which are a night time thing. I used to get the Luke Duke (meatballs, yum), but with the menu revision, order the Gooch. The sandwiches are great; the service is hit or miss, but for a casual spot with a bar and some grub, it is my favorite place. Heck, I even had my first date with my boyfriend here I trust it so much. Consistently everything the Honey Hole is

sonia m.

The Honeyhole has four of my favorite things. Delicious sandwiches, french fries, ginger ale, and booze. I love it. I heard they got rid of the meatball sandwich, but I don't care because I don't eat meatballs and I hate watching other people eat them.

They've reworked the menu and have updated the furniture since my last review. I miss the meatball sub, but the new sandwiches on the menu are pret-tay, pret-tay, pretty good.

"Oh WHAT that place isn't some weird sex toys store?!?! " I exclaimed when my friend suggested we get sandwiches at HoneyHole for lunch. Every time I have driven by this place I have assumed it was some strange Babeland knockoff, or some variant of a port-a-potty supplier, or a Winnie the Pooh Bear themed establishment Anyway, I LOVE me a good sanny, so I was excited to learn that HoneyHole actually serves sandwiches. I got a cold sandwich, my two friends got hot sandwiches. My cold turkey and honey ham sandwich was merely OK. Not a lot of flavor and TOO MUCH sourdough bread, givin me a severe case of drymouth. BUT, my friend's "Waverider" sandwich was BOMB. Loved the pesto and gouda. Luckily, he wasn't that hungry, so I pounced on half of his delicious sanny. So if you go to HoneyHole, most definitely get yourself a hot sandwich. For the price, I would have liked the sandwiches to come with a bag or chips, or light salad. Or even a pickle spear, I LOVE those.

Oh sweet, sweet honey hole. Many a morning have I awoken with the taste of Chachi's favorite on my tongue. I have yet to have a bad meal from this little gem of a place. Perfect for a sandwich place... but not perfect in general?... Quite possibly the best french fries on the hill, excellent menu options for our (crazy) vegetarian friends, and a wild and wacky decor to keep your mind busy while your taste buds enjoy the magic. If you make it in during bar time, they usually have great drink specials. Word.

"Um where can I go get a GOOD sandwich with killer fries but where they won't look at me weird because I look like sh*t?" HoneyHole. That is the only place you need to think about. This part bar part sandwich shop is a great lunch spot in Capital Hill. A very diverse crowd flocks to this random yet cozy semi hole in the wall place for killer fries and no fuss sandwiches. They also don't mess around, the service is fast so if you are looking for lunch but only have a little bit of time, don't fret. This place makes a good meal in a small amount of time.

As if there aren't enough reviews of this place I'm going to add my two cents. My friend and I ended up here before a night of barhopping to be had in Capitol Hill. It was quite a split second decision as it was the closet eatery to the place we parked. We checked out the menu and I was happy to find there was a vegetarian section. Right on! And in we went. We sat down and thankfully already had menus near us because if we didn't we'd be sunk. The waiter completely ignored us. We waited to see if he'd bite and nothing. I had to go up to the bar to order which was lame. I ordered a veggie sandwich called El Guapo which was chalkfull of vegetables and cheese. It had red onions, gouda (yum!), bell peppers, and tomatoes. My friend chose the turkey sandwich. We got our food and dug in. I did pick the onions off my sandwich. I don't mind cooked onions because the potency diminishes. I'm not one that likes to walk around with nasty dragon onion breath. We both started at the fries and instantly fell in love. The fries were so crispy and fresh. My sandwich was fabulous and my friend said she liked hers but it was difficult to eat because the bread was about as thick as my head. You had to unhinge your jaw to get a bite of that thing. During our pig out not one person came up to ask how we were doing or to refill our water glasses, another thing I had to ask for at the bar. No es bueno. My only complaint about Honeyhole is the service. Yes, it was a Friday night but it wasn't packed in the least. I will be back because the fries are incentive enough and my sandwich was great. I can't wait to try other options on the menu.

Veggie menu! Ordered the Bellisimo... not too shabby, loved the crusty yet still soft baguette it came on. This small sandwich shop has some cool decor. Cozy yet eccentric. Love the giant fish on the ceiling with the bulging eyes.

Ive eaten here twice. The first time I came in, I got the Waverider sandwhich. I really wanted this to have more toppings and less bread. I ended up ditching about 1/3rd of the roll. It was just too much bread! The last time I came in I got the French Dip, which was really good, but again too much bread!' I will be back to try other delights, but will probably ditch the half the bread...again. :)

Had the best greyhound of my life here. They use a Polish potato vodka that was so smooth, at first I sipped and told my date, "Hmm, I don't think there's any alcohol in here..." Then some more sip, sip, sipping and voila starting to feel a nice buzz happening. Damn good. By the end of the drink, I had a great buzz going and between the island vibin' chicken sammich delish-heaven-sent-goodness I decided it was the perfect combo. Thanks honeyhole. Thank you for blowing my mind!

You like the smell from the outside? Well, if you eat inside you're going to carry that scent with you like a smoker carries theirs. The difference is that you don't have to go outside to feed your addiction to awesome sandwiches. Mmmm I can almost smell it now.

After drinking many beers at the Elysian Brewing Company in Capitol Hill, we needed some hearty food to absorb said beers. Honey Hole was recommended to us by a few different people and it was just down the street from the brewery, so we checked it out. I ordered the garlic bread appetizer, which was DELICIOUS. For my meal I had the Thing Two Chicken Burger, which was a chicken breast with bacon, cheddar cheese, ranch, avocado, tomato, and onion on a tasty roll. My boyfriend had the Texas Tease, which was a BBQ chicken sandwich. We were both quite satisfied. The music selection here was also great (mostly 60s/70s rock like the Elysian; we wondered if they had the same playlist), and the service was fast and good. I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu.

One of my favorite spots to revisit every time I travel to Seattle from SF!!! Never had a bad sandwich any of the times I have visited...definitely one of the best food spots Seattle has to offer (from a lowly tourists perspective).

I am a sandwich expert. I seek out truly great sandwich work, and Honey Hole does a damn admirable job. The bread is pretty great, and the choices are varied and interesting. I brought my mom here when she was in town visiting and she loved the sandwich with au jus (can't remember the name just now). I'm a Paseo's girl at heart for the best sandwiches in town, but there is nothing wrong with Honey Hole if you're looking for just plain good grub.
(3)
Nadia G.

HoneyHole may be hyped up a bit. I have only been once, and I enjoyed my sandwich, The Gooch, but I can't say that it was particularly memorable. The service is good, and the decorations are interesting, but I am not completely sold just yet.

Kristen P.

I'll have to come back again for more intel on the variety of sandwiches, but, what I have had was insanely good as fresh and leftovers. I took a friend here who was in for a bit from out of town. He is a vegetarian, and while speaking with a friend who is also vegetarian, she recommended this place to me as a good place for a veggie sandwich. so we went and tried it, and both of us were satisfied with the selection and our choices. The atmosphere is nice, I could see it getting really busy and crowded, and not really being a nice place to sit down and have a meal during the weekend.
(4)
Laura E.

The drinks are tasty and and an honest pour, the house music is usually fun, the food is always terrific. HH has the best french fries in town. The only drawback is that you will wait for a table, which is why I usually sit at the bar. This can be fun, too, if you enjoy listening in on drunken musicians talking up their game. LOL.
(4)
Joshua S.

Despite a questionable name this place is top notch. I get the feeling the decor is trying to pretend to be upscale while mocking it and playing cap hill music with some mood lighting to really get things going. Overall the atmosphere is damn good and I wouldn't hesitate to bring anyone here ever. The service is some of the best I have ever experienced. In under ten minutes I am able to walk in and grab a seat, order a beer, get the beer, order the sandwich and then get the sandwich. Some fast food joints can't even move as fast as these guys do. The last time I was in I had the summer babe which was so feeling I could barely fit in any of my fries. And the fries are damn tasty as well. The only thing I find disappointing is that the "pint" glasses as far as I can tell as falsies meaning they have an extra thick bottom and you only get 14oz instead of 16oz pours. They could also do with a slightly better beer selection but they have enough local micros to satisfy your average beer nerd.

A sandwich place that actually has sandwiches that can't be found anywhere else. I loved my experience here! The drinks are delicious. AND.. even when it gets pretty busy around lunchtime, the servers are good at not neglecting their customers.

Quinn D.

The Bandit! It was soo good that it was bad. Pulled pork bbq sandwich. It arrived at the table piping hot! I tried to take a picture of the steam coming off of the pork-failed. High fat for sure because I had to recover during a movie after inhaling the oink. The fries were too salty and the pickle looked like foam. Back to the sandwich...yum! Warning: Eat with caution because the pig might bite you back!

These sandwiches are delicious. You can always get the same good quality whenever you go. I think the best deal is to go with a friend, order a sandwich, then order then artichoke dip appetizer. Split the sandwich and the appetizer with your friend. Usually that covers our hunger and it would have only come out to about 13 dollars total before tip. In this day and age, when a McDonald's meal can get to be 7 dollars by itself, 13 + 2 tip dollars for 2 people at a quirkily, delicious sandwich shop can only be considered a bargain. I would recommend the Gooch, which sounds devastatingly close to a Hooch, or a Cooch. But all dirty images aside, this sandwich is delicious with its Au Jus dipping sauce. I would stay away from the pulled pork sandwiches, because they tend to be a bit sweeter than I prefer, but I have friends who swear by them. There is a sauerkraut and pastrami sandwich that I love as well. It's name escapes me at the moment. The decor is great, the tables are small and intimate without being overly exclusive. What can I say? I fully endorse this place. This message was approved by me. Chyea!

Megan O.

The Gooch is amazing! Nice spot for lunch, also good for take-out

Hans G.

A bit too chaotic at night, but just right for lunch. Live the veggie options, and the breads are just right for sandwiches: not too flavorful or sweet, but not boring, and soft while still solid. I prefer Baguette Box, but HoneyHole offers better repeat value with many more veg options.
(4)
Jeff H.

Definitely a great sandwich joint that sets itself apart from most others. Excellent unique choices. I have tried a few different sandwiches at HoneyHole and they all tasted fantastic. I've also never had a bad fry here. If you can get it, it's great to sit in one of the corner booths next to the window. Cushy seats, plenty of table space, natural daylight, people watching, and great food at an acceptable price. Works for me...

monika t.

The Bandit is my hero (hahaha). Seriously, best sandwich I've ever had. When I first heard my friends raving about Honeyhole, I thought "how great can a sandwich be?" They can be awesome. The fries are fabulous, the sandwiches delicious, and I've never had a bad experience. I absolutely love this place, and would go ALL the time if I lived close by. It's probably one of my top ten Seattle restaurants. The downside is that it's rather small, so getting a table can be hard. I would recommend considering take-out. Just call about 15 minutes before you want to pick up your food. Wish I was eating a Bandit right now.

Great hot sandwiches! We came here during the weekend late lunch and ordered the Gooch (delicious! a must-try for any lover of beef) and Corleone (decent). It was 3pm but the place was packed. Great casual atmosphere.

My boyfriend and I eat here WAY too often because it's that good. I tend to be a creature of habit when it comes to what I order in restaurants, but not at the Honey Hole. I try something different every time. The Waverider is probably my favorite.

Honey Hole, great atmosphere its very laid back. They even made room for a small bar, awesome. I only got the Summer Babe sandwich, which is a ham/cheese on a french roll. I think I'm only disappointed because I sort of had my mind set on a traditional sandwich one that on sliced bread, so it was fine but a little dry... only ate half of a half. Fries were a bit over cooked. I always give a restaurant a second try, so I'd consider going back. The staff was relatively friendly. Except for one gentleman who was wrapping a sandwich in the front when I went to ask for two wraps to wrap up the other halves of our sandwiches, he looked at me to hear what I asked for and continued wrapping as if I wasn't there and walked away. Perhaps he was unhappy that he was just the sandwich wrapper ????? Everyone talks about this place so I suggest trying it out.

Megan H.

I enjoyed the atmosphere, cozy, trendy, dark, hoppin' and a great menu with vegetarian options, as well as tuna and egg salad! However, the bulk of sandwich I had lacked. For an 8$ sandwich I expected there to be some filling. The bread was good, but you actually had to open in to see the stuff inside. It was sparsely toped with a tiny bit of onion and tomato. I just feel if I'm going to get a cheese sandwich, no meat, there better be a decent amount of cheese on there. It was pretty much 80% bread, so I'm going to try another place for sandwiches next time I'm on capitol hill.

Kim S.

I always get one of the Field Roast vegetarian sandwiches bc I dont eat meat. They have other veggie sandwiches as well. The sandwiches are great and the fries are even better. Someone said the place was just ok bc 'the atmosphere was very odd', frankly, the fact that the atmosphere is odd makes the place even better. If you want subway then go to the suburbs. The place is usually pretty packed unless you go odd hours or late night. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because my girlfriend always gets the Buford T Justice and likes it the 'classic' way, provolone instead of jack and no coleslaw. She orders it this way but still gets it the 'new' way about 50% of the time. So then we either have to send it back or she spends 20 minutes getting the coleslaw off. Although she still loves the place. HoneyHole: Can you please add 'Classic B. T. Justice' to the menu so my girlfriend gets the right order? thanks.

Jennifer W.

Like many others, I *used* to love this place. Something changed though. The BLT they used to served was Ahhhhhhmazing, but now its crap. I don't know if they had some budget cuts that affected their menu selection, but the menu is half of what it used to be. I am familiar with the order first, then find your own table policy and thats fine and the decor it offbeat but still cool. Anyway, you wont find me here ever again, its not worth the high price of a sandwich that has become sub-par.
(1)
Christopher S.

So, my friend is in town and I took him here the other day. Menu has slightly changed and the quality of ingredients have been upgraded. This place is a legit 4-5 star sandwich shop now. Chachi's favorite is epic, it's closing in on Paseo's Cuban roast for my favorite sandwich in town. Try it if you havn't. You'll love it.

Patrick M.

I've been a few times now, and I can confidently say The Honeyhole has awesome sandwiches and burgers. Delicious, very generous portions, and a nice low-key atmosphere. I was always somewhat skeptical of this place due to the at-a-glance outward appearance and the name, but I'm soooo glad I got over it and actually checked them out. I will definitely be back many times.

Zohreh A.

Best sandwiches ever!!!!! The gooch was amazing. Very juicy and with fresh meat. The horseradish mayo was off the wall! My friend got the El Guapo and man... that was hands down the best veggie sandwich I have ever tasted. The sandwiches are all warm and fresh and super flavorful. Definitely hit this place up if ever come to Seattle. Also, they play awesome music here! The first time I came in late night when it turns into a bar and they were playing Arcade Fire! The ambience and decorations are also very unique!

I love me some HoneyHole. GREAT sandwiches. Good draft beer. (Try Dick's Working Man's Brown Ale (from Centralia) if you haven't already.) Cool atmosphere. Amazing place. I'd go every day if I could. Oh, but avoid the beer cheese soup--unless you're planning on using it as a dip.

This place is the best sandwich in town!! Fries are pretty darn good too. Being in downtown after 9:00 p.m. and being hungry is not a combination. I ventured into the only open place, Starbucks, to see if the had anymore sandwiches left only to find they were sold out. I asked the barista if they knew of any places to grab some grub and she pointed me to the honey hole. It was a pretty decent trek from downtown, about 15 minutes from the Sheraton. But once I got there I thought I found the wrong place, it looked like a dark bar lounge and not a sandwich shop. But let me tell you, don't let that deter you. All in all, I must stop here anytime I'm in town. Love it!
(5)
Daniel P.

Honey Hole has become one of my favorite places to grab a beer and a sandwich. Good sandwiches start with great bread, Honey Hole has this down. Every sandwich I have tried has been superb and I'm a big fan of Hale's Cream Ale (which they serve) so this place has earned a special place in my frequently visited establishment list. It's true that Honey Hole is loud, dark and little unusual but it's part of what this place is all about. Overall I gave 5 stars because you simply cannot beat the value. Each sandwich is under $9 and is generous in size. DCP Suggestions: Try the Summer Babe cold sandwich!

michael w.

I love the Honey Hole....ok kids, minds out of the gutter...back to the food. This place is great. You can hang out drink a beer and enjoy a kickass good sandwich! Sometimes, I dont go for anything but the bar. They have a "tiki" themed bar, small, but fun to hang out at and have a beverage or two or three..... If you want a low key cool place to get some food, go here. I give it four instead of five stars, due to the fact you have to wait in line to order.......sucks when its busy. But oh so worth it when you get your order.

There was an event set up on Yelp that invited us all to come out and eat at Prema's Honeyhole. Sounded delish. It was. There were a lot of us packed into that little space. I heard one of the gals say the pickles were tasty. I'm not sure if she was just talking to the guys or what. Whoops. I think my well of sexual innuendo just dried up. I hate it when that happens. On a sidenote, the sandwiches here were awesome, and the server was pretty great considering the tremendous amount of people we kept squeezing into Prema's... table.

Daryn N.

I love the HoneyHole. I've been going here for years, both for lunch, and at night, and never been disappointed. My standard order is the Cha-Chi (hot turkey, avocado, ranch) with added pepperoncini - which is key. I also like the Luke Duke (meatballs), and the french dip too. Oh, and the fries. I only wish they still had a pinball machine.

If one is aiming to sample and review Capitol Hill restaurants, where does one start? With a philosophy? With a theme? With a contention? I don't know. Maybe. But, I'm starting with the first Capitol Hill restaurant I ever loved that makes the best sandwiches I've ever had - The HoneyHole. The HoneyHole was a reawakening and a delight for me, returning to the city from a 10-year odyssey on the Sammamish Plateau. Located next to an excellent yarn shop and a superb erotic toy store, The HoneyHole serves up hot, dark, moist sandwiches with an unpretentious competence that urbanites take for granted. It took me over a year to stray from my favorite sandwich, "Waverider," and to discover "Corleone" and "Gooch." It was another year before I tried the French fries. I don't suggest you wait that long. One of the qualities I most like about Capitol Hill eateries (in contrast to the corporate beasts to the east) is their unique and sometimes singular decor. The HoneyHole suggests South Pacific meets 70's Rock Stars meets Tennessee Williams. It's a world all its own.

What an amazing sandwich place!! I had heard good things and had to check it out for myself. There were so many tempting sandwiches to choose from...the menu is so fun! Being from Texas I had to get the "Texas Tease". It was awesome. I also got the french fries and had no complaints there either. The atmosphere was cute too. I definitely recommend you check this place out 100%!!
(5)
Becki M.

OH honeyhole, how i love you. best sandwiches on the hill hidden in this cute little dive bar package. i think you could close your eyes and point at anything on the menu and not be disappointed. decent selection of beer on tap. delicious sandwiches. fries. ranch. yummm. it's a tiny little spot with a divey hipster hybrid feel. the food's worth it though. i tend to migrate to the bar, service is always quicker. favorites: the steak salad add avocado, the gooch and the emilio pestovez.

Best sandwiches in Seattle. Pricey, but worth it. The pulled pork one...Booker-T-something...holy sh*t.

Moving past the silly, obvious-pun name, this place makes a mean sammich. The prices are a bit high for sandwiches, but the portions are generous and the service friendly.

Brian N.

Best pulled pork ever! The service is so-so, but it fits the place and the sandwiches shine. Whenever there is family in town we make it a point to go to the Honey Hole, never a single complaint and always a comment later about returning when they visit next. Whether you need a quick lunch on Saturday or are looking for a good eat in the evening, you'll find what you need at the Honey Hole. It's all about the Buford T. Justice baby!

Zachary D.

Okay... So, you can smell the amazingness that is the Honey Hole as you come around the corner from Boylston to Pike or at about the fabric store heading west down Pike... Point is, that wonderful, aromatic, disgustingly delicious smell runs up on you and slaps you across the face like you were a whore and it was your pimp! Oh yes, its like that! During the day its a pretty standard sandwich shop... You know, order at the counter sorta shit... But at night it turns into a chill little restaurant and bar. Service is cool... Dont expect them to dote on you or anything. But they are pleasant and down to earth - besides, I hate it when a waiter keeps interrupting my convos... Unless they look like James Franco - so its not bad, just not incredible. The food... Well, the food! WOW! I love this place! The sandwiches are good sized and they dont skimp on anything really. My favorite is the Dirt burger... I am so far from being a veggi-mcgee that its not even funny, but this is a seriously good "burger" I must say! And get the fries!! OMG! My friend, Miss Devine Stalls, and I call them crack-fries! And when you eat them, you will understand! Hands down, there is no beating them! I mean, I wish that Whitney had gotten hooked on these - then again, if she had gotten hooked on these, we may have never had the television classic: "Being Bobby Brown" - but I digress. The drinks are good, and they have a great happy hour. Its small, so large groups will have trouble. FYI. So, the Honey Hole is at the very least worth a trip! And while you are there, check out the pic of Keith Richards on the wall... Its one of my favs!

We were trying to find a good eatin' spot close to Neumos in order to line our tummies for the drinkin' and dancin' that were to commence later that evening while watchin Trombone Shorty. One of our culprits mentioned Honey Hole and I have to say the name caught me a bit off guard. When I tried to look it up, naturally a porn site revealed itself on my screen. So be sure to include a "the" in the front should you need to find them online in the future! Anyway, Honey Hole is a fitting name afterall, it's just another orphace we are referring to here, the one that includes a tongue that is! And let me tell ya, my sandwich did equate to Honey in my Hole! We arrived at around 6:40, just in time to take advantage of $3 happy hour draft beer and were lucky enough to find a table right away with another one that we were able to scoot over and accomodate our other two Honey Hole compadres. Just one of those kismet moments I guess. The servers were nice, accomodating and efficient. I filled my Hole with the Gooch, an incredible take on the French Dip. It arrived on a toasted French Roll that had the consistency of Brioche, meaning they must coat this thing with butter-yum! The inside was layered with perfectly sliced roast beef that was pleasantly not marbled in fat! Then it was topped with Tillamook Cheddar Cheese and thinly sliced sweet red onions. Best of all a tasty cup of Aus Jus to dip this Honey in before it entered my Hole! The fries were a crispy, perfectly seasoned bonus along with the crisp pickle. This sandwich combined with $3 Mannys was the perfect pre-funk meal and all of our Holes were satiated with the Honey provided here.

kat s.

So I'm torn over how to rate this place. The french fries are 5 star quality. The sandwiches range between amazing and too bready (between 5 and 3 stars). The service is usually inattentive, but the place is usually busy and the waitstaff and bartenders are pleasant when you get them. They don't let you split up tabs on multiple credit cards, which makes this a bad place for meeting a group of people for a night of drinks and food. Interior is pretty amusing and eclectic, similar to the Cha Cha's old Pine location.

Traci M.

They can do no wrong...every time someone from out of town visits Seattle, HoneyHole is at the top of the list! I even took my 75 year old great aunt from the OC and she loved it! Prices are good for the amount of food you get. Only problem is that seating is usually hard to come by for even 2 people, but the location is one of the reasons this place is so good.

I am a non-homophobic heterosexual, but even so, every time I think of the name of this place and the fact that it's on Capitol Hill, it gives me a case of the giggles....that and the Rosebud. Reminds me of the White Swallow and Moby Dick, two venerable gay bars some friends of mine used to patronize in SF. I still laugh. That being said, under the cover of my wife, I ventured in there recently and was.....satisfied. It was not the best of sandwich places, but it was good. You can get a beer. Service was nice...not thrilling, but nice. It was pleasant, nothing more. Not that there's anything wrong with that....

I'm vegetarian, so I get the veggie BLT--hold the tomato and add avocado. The fries are to die for! A close second would be the Emelio Pestovez. Open late and always good. Crowded on weekends though...

Kathryn M.

Quirky, friendly staff, matched with delicious, hearty sandwiches, and eclectic semi-worn down decor = somewhere I would go all the time if I was lucky enough to live near it. Seriously, when my brother and his girlfriend were deciding where to live, a huge consideration was their apartment's distance to the HoneyHole. Delicious sandwiches served on hearty, crusty bread. The fries are great, nice and crisp, but not burned. Sandwiches take a little time to make, but the wait is worth it. Also, don't worry to make substitutions, they're perfectly happy to add or delete anything from the sandwiches on the menu, or you can make your own!

Philip M.

My pork sandwich, though shredded is not my favorite, was smoky and delicious. I love what the place looked like and the atmosphere is cool. But, for how well staffed they were we waited a long time to get our food. Also they do not cut their own fries, bake their own bread(not my biggest point), or make most of what they have on the menu. They do assemble well though...looks like all the BBQ including sauce is theirs...that is a start. But for how big their kitchen is, it is not enough.

Stephanie E.

"Honeyhole." I just love saying it. The friend had a sandwich with vegan bacon and very crunchy (roof-of-the-mouth-cutting crunchy) bread, which was actually very delicious (the blood may have added some extra kick...) and I sampled a cup of the soup of the day (lentil), which was divine. Options for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, and all in a very cool atmosphere with good music. Casual cafe by day, bar by night (I'll have to come back for a cocktail). Order your food at the counter and...get this...bus your own table (?!). I've never heard of such a thing at an establishment that doesn't use paper tableware, but apparently it's a Seattle thing. Mmmm.

I've been in this neighborhood since the great windstorm of 1998 and I still eat here. What better testimony could I give? Get the Gooch. It'll make you happy. Not as happy as the shop next door, but happy.

Megan M.

Fairly quick service, interesting selection of sandwiches - the menu had many unique offerings, but it wasn't overwhelming, fun atmosphere, and good beers on tap. I ordered the Waverider, if anything it was too much...not in terms of flavor, because the pesto, smoked turkey, and cheese were a great combination, but it was just a big-ass sandwich. By the time I was done with that, I didn't even care that their cole slaw was pretty bland. Order the fries or splurge on a green salad (it's an additional $1). Also noteworthy is that they had some great vegetarian options.

It's thanks to the Honeyhole that I learned what tempeh is. Although I've admittedly only ever tried one thing here (the Big Smooth, a hot vegetarian sandwich with aforementioned tempeh), it was also admittedly delicious enough to keep me coming back for more. It's not the place if you're looking for a cheap lunch, as a sandwich will typically run you about $8, but that's what Subway is for. The food is good and the decor is fun, so the Honeyhole gets my vote.
(4)
Lauren D.

I love a good sandwich, and this place has MANY good sandwiches on the menu. As a creature of habit, I am mainly a Liotta girl - when my friends ask what kind of sandwich it is, it's easiest for me to reply "it's a meat sandwich", because man, the Liotta is a vegetarian's nightmare. I love the picture of Keith Richards on the wall, and although vinyl booths aren't my favorite on summer nights, they're great the rest of the year. The folks that work there are nice, too. I've been a few times at night, for (yes) a sandwich and some liquor as well - it's a tiny place as a bar, but an awesome place as a sandwich shop. Time your visits right and you'll always get a table.

Was recommended to come eat the Yer Blues burger here. It was basically the best burger I've ever had, garlic-aoili spread over toasted ciabatta, beef, bacon, grilled veggies/onions, hold the bleu cheese and we're golden.

Carrie H.

I feel bad. I have had two sandwiches from here. The first one totally sucked and the second one... eh? I didn't review after the first, thinking, man, maybe there's something wrong with me - the glowing reviews, the sexual innuendos, I mean, it's called Honeyhole, fer cryin' out loud. My first sandwich I got was the Waverider - Smoked turkey, pesto sauce, red onion, roasted red peppers, tomato, and smoked Gouda on a fresh French roll - toasted, nonetheless. But do you know what else they put on it, that I think killed the sandwich? MUSTARD. YUCK. I tried eating it without the mustard side, but then the turkey was dry and tasteless. My second sandwich I got just today was the Summer Babe - Honey roasted ham, smoked turkey, Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and red onion on a fresh sourdough roll. Again, turkey was pretty dry, and the bread did not taste "fresh" at all - it was dry and stale! UGH! I am so saddened to give this place 3 stars. I should really give it 2, but the decor of the inside is wicked awesome. They are also very fast so kudos there, too. I'll probably go again someday and just get a salad or something. Waaaaaa!!!

Great food, good music, good beer, and a nice relaxed atmosphere. I'll definitely come back here again, but it was pretty pricey. If they could shave a few bucks off each sandwich I could see myself as a regular here.

Without a doubt this place is one of the best smelling restaurants you'll ever find yourself walking in to. I was introduced to this place last year by a friend that lives only a few blocks away. I envy his location to this place. Every time I eat there I come out completely satisfied. Good amount of food for the price and top notch quality. My personal favorites are the italian sandwich "Liotta" and the appetizer "Mediterranean Melee Pizza". With a warm and cozy atmosphere, Honeyhole will forever remain one of my favorite places to eat in Seattle.

Great place for a well crafted sandwich. I had the corleone and it was really good. Great bread and the pastrami was really good also. I need to visit again and keep working my way down the menu. I only visit those place again when it's good. Really impressed.

Phenomenal! Yelp did not lead us wrong as out of towners looking for a tasty lunch. Huge portions...could easily share a sandwich and the flavors were amazing! Plus, lots of cool music and art that rivals the Museum of Bad Art closer to home! Worth a visit!

This place has the best hot sandwiches I've ever had!! I ordered the Chachi's Favorite, and it was dripping with melted havarti cheese. I have been craving this sandwich for the past 5 months. Open a restaurant in San Diego, please!

Decent priced sandwiches in Capitol Hill with cool decor and nice staff . Even serves beer with said sandwiches and they have a bar that offers a drink special cocktail of the day.. Priced for the whole nite. It was a pretty good sandwich. I guess what set them apart for 5 star raters here, is toasting and good topping combinations. However, I thought the meat- in my case the smoked turkey, was just QFC deli special of the day quality. They piled it on but it was a lil rubbery to me. The Summertime Salad was really tasty and a good deal for the size of it. Fries were nothing magical just fries pretty good. No problems there. I'm sure we'll be back as my hubby comes for lunch often.. I guess my hopes were set too high based on reviews. Will try again.

Great food. Didn't know a thing about this place until the smell on Pike lured me in (and boy can you smell it from a block away!) Got the Bandit, a real nice bbq brisket sandwich with Tilamook cheddar (it's big enough for two). Opted for salad instead of fries (just trying to cancel out the effects of the Bandit) but now I'm reading their fries are really damn good so next time I'll get them (not that the salad was bad, it was pretty good too). My buddy got the veggie BLT, thumbs up! We didn't drink anything but the bar looked like they served a mean drink (as if the Twisted Sister playing in the background didn't give that much away).

Oooh YEAH! Give it to me 'Honeyhole' style. or.. This is the only Honeyhole I come back to.. over and over again.. or Damn! That sandwich was tasty. I could go on for days. I desperately want to. I won't. 5 stars for the name- the samachs are decent too. Their Turkey is a-okay and the Salads are good. Hot sandwiches too if you want them. Good french dip. The fries are awesome and the come in a cup (yay for being different). They have a little tiny tiki bar in back which is WAY cute. Oh, and another 5 stars for strategic placement on the hill. Stop by 'babeland' after a little 'Honeyhole satiation' a few doors down- you know why.

Interesting and decent sandwiches. I veared away from the pulled pork and other bbq on the menu as everyone always has some super concrete notion of what bbq should taste like and I didn't want a philosophical debate. I just wanted something to eat. They have some seriously crazy sounding veggie sandwich selections on the menu that I don't think i would feed to my worst enemy, but why eat those when you can have cow and pig? I have no idea. Some of them are really out there, but when you're not eating what you were given teeth to consume, perhaps some unconventional flavors become desirable. Go figure. The waiter called the fries 'world class' and recommended them over the potato salad. They were decent, but not an olympic medal contender. You need to fight for your table here. No one will seat you, so plan on seeing to it yourself. The bar serves basic cocktails and appears to be decorated by the same people that attacked Cha Cha, only with fewer miniature sombreros.

3.5 "I just got a bunch of one's" "You been to Rick's?" "Nah, Honey Hole" [Actual Dialogue] Several of us stopped in after the Salon of Shame at CHAC for some eats. I dig the oddly assembled vaguely tiki bar stylo of the place. Good sandwiches, big bread, which makes for big sandwiches, but in my case at least, it was soft bready BBQ goodness, and I liked it. That's all I have to say about that.

Walking past the shop, your senses are overwhelmed with barbecue sauce so much that you want to slap yo' mama. Too bad the veg*n sandwiches don't have a barbecue option, 'cos I'd gladly channel me some Ike Turner. The Vegi BLT is my sandwich of choice, but it's better to eat at night when it arrives stacked high. Make sure to specify vegan mayo, otherwise you're eatin' somethin' funky. Good God, y'all. FYI, btw Daytime: order at the counter Nighttime: table service We all keep writing on and on about the hipsters in the city, but it's not as if any of them have any strength in their emaciated bodies. Their diets consist of nothing but Pabst and cheap coke! I say bless their hearts for trying to eat food in hopes of convincing us all they don't have body issues.

The sandwiches are pretty solid, and definitely substantial -- but I really go for the atmosphere. Just a cool place to hang out, good beers on tap and great music. Go honeyhole!

If I'd been posting my perspective about Honeyhole in 2005, I would have had to have given five stars: even with only a few vegan options, the Veg BLT (w/ avocado & Vegenaise) and fries was a combination that couldn't be beaten. Having previously worked on First Hill, I was introduced to this sandwich shop/bar by my co-workers and I was enamoured from the start. Those who worked there made lunchtime masterpieces for people of all different culinary inclinations...and it was good. Unfortunately, I'll have to knock one star off the rating. The sandwiches are still good, yes, but the quality is notoriously inconsistent. One co-worker has lamented that his orders have been botched 3 or 4 times. The punch card promotion is gone (is 11 sandwiches for the price of 10 too much of a burden?). I'm not quite sure what's causing these differences now, but the overall vibe does seem a bit below its apex. Still, if you're in the Pike-Pine Corridor and looking for a tasty sandwich, it's a fair bet that you'll get what you see here, especially if you're an omnivore.

After being told endless times to go eat at The Honey Hole I finally decided to do it when I needed a place to catch lunch with a family member. I walk into the place and they are blasting The Clash, already sold on the atmosphere. Upon getting to the counter to look at their menu board I realize it's going to take me awhile, all of the sandwiches sounded amazing. My first choice was The Corleone, sounded like their take on a reuben. Unfortunately they were out of this for the day so I went with some kind of Texas Sandwich, it was coleslaw, pulled pork, and bbq sauce. I also noticed they had a small bar with a good selection of microbrews, I went with the Ninkasi IPA, can't go wrong with Ninkasi. The sandwich had the perfect mixture of flavor and kick. The bread was hard, but not in a detrimental to the sandwich type of way. My cousin kept saying it was one of the best sandwiches he had had in awhile. I agree. Long story short, their sandwiches are delish, and they have some good beers to wash them down with. Pretty affordable also, although I wish a side was included. I will definitely be back.

Best Sandwiches in Seattle. A popular Capitol Hill hipster hangout If your young and new to Seattle or just visiting this is a good place to get a feel for Seattle Culture

Wow! What a wonderful surprise! I'm a sandwich aficionado, and I had heard some good rumblings about this Capitol Hill joint. I ordered the Dude, and it's as good as it gets. The brisket meat was tender, juicy and full of flavor. The honey mustard complemented the veggies well. Since my first experience there, I've been back several times and have tried the Bandit and Buford Justice. Highly recommend this spot if you're jonesin' for a good sandwich joint.

First time i ever went to the Honey Hole i ordered the BBQ sandwhich and was NOT impressed. its basically just bread meat sauce and onions. which is kinda lame i would have liked some tomato lettuce cheese pickle action. anyway gave the place a few more chances since then and have really liked all the sandwhiches ive ordered. nothing compared to R&Ds shop though.

It sounds disgusting. Which gay guy wants to eat in a place called HoneyHole? But it's good and I was licking my fingers. The fries were good!

Brian D.

I had "The Dude" and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had. There was lots of meat on it and the taste was great. I went around noon and it didn't take very long to get it. It would be one of my favorite lunch spots if I lived in the area.

Leigh B.

Love the Honey Hole! Aside from giggling over the name, it's actually a tastey place to dine. I'm seriously addicted to the Gooch. mmmm.... Not a place I would go to as a bar (kinda $$), but it's nice that they have booze to wet your wistle while you scarf down yummy (and giant) sandwiches. Nice place to start your evening before boozing it up at various spots on the hill.

Best Sandwich on this Planet no joke is the GOOCH hands down my favorite. when you combine fresh roasted beef with onions avocado and top that off with melted cheese and au jus sauce,steak fries and its and orgasm in your mouth.. ALL i can say is for under 10$ Honeyhole is DA BEST!

Michelle B.

Ha ha ha ha - it's called Honey Hole - Ha ha ha ha Ok, now that I've gotten that out of the way I can say that Honey Hole is one of those places that personify Capitol Hill - pretty cool, dark and moody, quirky but a little dated, great taste in music, and an attitude that is not warranted but somehow manages to be acceptable. Case in point - last night I was strategizing with my dining companions about the best way to position the fact that I did not want ranch dressing on my sandwich and that I wanted to get avocado too. We came up with ranch on the side and a plea for avocados - it worked the waitress obliged and all was happy. The onion rings here are gross, but the french fries are amazingly delicious, better than Frites (ducking from all the Neumos goers hucking their leftover dipping sauces at me) and the sandwiches lately have been hit or miss, but always hold the promise of a cheap delicious meal.

The first time someone took me here I said, "I am NOT eating at a place called the HONEYHOLE, you sick pervert!" ... But he made me anyway. And he was paying. So who am I to complain about free pervert sandwiches?!? And then I ate it. (Waverider) And it was good. Yesterday, I stopped by to pick up sandwiches at the Honeyhole for my co-workers. (After they stopped going, "Honeyhole? You're kidding, right?") And as per expections, I felt like a damn fool ordering a 'Luke Duke' and a 'Shazam!'. But it was worth it... Especially considering the lunchroom was full of people rolling their eyes and going "OH GOD".

I found God in a Honeyhole Sandwich six years ago, and I haven't stopped going back at least twice a month. When I can get my coworkers to commit, we'll order sandwiches delivered to our office downtown--it's a $25 minimum, which means ordering at least 3 or 4 sandwiches as $7 each. Trust me, it's worth it. I've had all of the meaty sandwiches minus the one with pastrami (I'm not a fan) and most of the veggie sandwiches minus the one with tempeh (ditto). Favorites include Chachi's Favorite, The Luke Duke, the Spicoli, the Buford T. Justice and the Dirt Burger. Be sure to order fries, they're worth their weight in gold. p.s. am I the only person who misses the pinball machine?

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet since it is in the hood and was an old standby after Monday and Wed. night Product Liability class. Sandwiches here straight up rock and so do the fries and onion rings (you gotta like em super fried tho). I usually go with the BBQ chicken or Pork sandie and a ice cold Hoegaarden. One of my friends always gets a vegetarian sandwich and I always take a bite of it and declare it my favorite yet I can't stave off the clucking chickens and oinking pigs. Maybe one of these days I will give something else a try...until then this place is basically a weekly stop off with the law school crew.

more like 3.5 stars. if ur in a mood for a warm sandwich (or just a cold one) you should give the honeyhole a try. it's a pretty small place and at lunch it's first come first serve seating so grab a table when you see one. you go up to the counter to order a variety of sandwiches. i got the waverunner - it's got turkey and pesto and it's one of their warm sandwiches. it was pretty good, but i might try something else next time since that seems to be my default sandwich when i go there. of the times i've been the food and the service was pretty consistent so you can know what to expect when you go.

I stopped in here on the way to a play downtown. I had already eaten, just had some time to kill before the play. We sat at the bar. I ordered a Mojito and it was delicious! I spent most of my time starring up at the millions of things hanging from the ceiling. I must have already been buzzed. But my mojito was delicious! They have a fruit juicer and if I had more time I would have stayed for a second drink. Maybe next time I will try their food.

If you want an awesome sandwich, the Honey Hole can satisfy your cravings. My particular favorite is the Spiccoli, which consists of turkey, havarti, and hummus with the usual sandwich condiments (pickle, lettuce, onion etc.) The inclusion of the hummus makes this sandwich unique among sandwiches. The fries at the Honey Hole are also excellent as are the onion rings. Sorry Michelle, your tastebuds are mistaken. The crispy beer batter on the onion rings is like crack in breading form. It forces you to feed even after having finished off a sandwich and fries. While the food at the Honey Hole is fantastic, I must say the service I recieved yesterday, felt like Michelle's opinion of the onion rings. Our waitress largely ignored us, especially when it came time to pay the check. We apparently attempted to split the check among too many cards and despite the fact that we wrote down the total for each card on the check, we were told we had to limit our split to two cards. Our group quickly obliged and placed the sorted check on the edge of the table. Despite the fact that our waitress knew we were ready to go and despite the fact that Michelle and several other Yelpers were looming over our table like so many Snoopies doing so many vulture impersonations, our server decided it would be better to clear the dishes from every two top in the place and bus all the other diners' finished plates. Half an hour later, after she had bussed and sat the other Yelpers at a table that got up well after we were ready, our waitress finally decided to acknowledge us again. So, my verdict is: If you want a great place to pick up a sandwich right after work, the Honey Hole is your place. If, however, you do not wish to have flashbacks to an ex who never listened to your needs induced by someone working for tips, don't visit the Honey Hole during the peak of the dinner rush.

Very good sandwich....I tasted and licked everyone elses sandwiches and they were also very tasty as well...Its a bit dark inside though. I normally like to have lights on what I see..but other than that it was a taaaaasssttyyyy sandwich

Jeffrey B.

Not a bad place for inexpensive sandwiches. I get the Bandit sandwich quite regularly. Their fries are decent (no way are they better than Frites', though--different classes altogether, actually). So that's the good. Now the bad: Their table service is very spotty. I don't know if they're understaffed or just inept, but I've had several semi-unpleasant experiences here. It's mostly just way too slow sometimes. Secondly, their potato salad is THEE worst. It's apparently someone's grandma's recipe and all I can think is "poor grandma! she was born without any taste buds." In summary: their sandwiches are pretty good, but don't (ie DO NOT) get the potato salad. And if you don't wanna risk the less than stellar service, I'd order take out.

Thomas P.

Well we are sitting here right now, typing away as we are finishing our last bite of our sandwich. Great Sandwiches. Might want to split a large Sandwich between two people. Tons of fries, we really liked it on a Saturday afternoon. Quick and inexpensive, good atmosphere. I got the "Buford T Justice" yep pineapple barbecue pulled pork.......get it pig...ha ha, i thought it was funny....anyway. Good food , give it a try. Soda's serve yourself, Don't forget to clear your table for the next folks...whom are eagerly waiting for a table. We will have to come back some night and have a beer.

Kazuo O.

I ordered a pickup and it was ready when I got there. Napkins and the ketchup were all ready in the bag, didn't need to ask. I ordered the Gooch (french dip) and I liked it. The bread wasn't too hard. The fries were nice and crisp and some nice seasoning on it. The total came to around $8.XX. I would definitely go back and try a different sandwich.
(4)
Andy K.

I don't know why, but I love sandwiches. And if those sandwiches happen to be on a plate next to a pile of fries and a pint of beer; well that's not too bad. Honey Hole fulfills that need pretty damn well. Sandwiches for people who like big sandwiches that don't leave you thinking "okay, now what do I eat?". I tried the Dirtburger today since I've read a few really good recommendations but I wouldn't add one. It's hard to get a good veg*n sandwich most places, so if your diet leans that way then you won't be disappointed. But if you allow yourself the occasional beasty try something like the Waverider instead. The fries are quality but nothing awe inspiring. $3 pints and wells for happy hour(s) round out a good casual meal.

holy freaking SHIZ this place is amazing. the first time i went, i couldn't WAIT to go back and try something new. the first time i got the texas tease. VERY tasty. the next time i got the fast eddie which was AMAZING!!! AHHH! I LOVE HONEYHOLE

Honeyhole has made some recent changes that are awesome (previously I would've only rated them 3 stars). Their sandwiches and fries are as delicious as ever, but now they offer even more hot vegetarian sandwich options. Their main improvement is customer service. In the past the service was always super slow and the servers were not very friendly, but the current waitstaff is all very nice. Top recommendation would be any of the sandwiches with the field roast.

Tonya N.

Good good sammies here! Super cute joint, has alot of character and is a hoppin place. Excellent friendly service and the sandwiches are the real deal... i love that its specialized, just sammies and fries it seems. The fries are generous and cheap! Spiced, hot and crisp... but i wouldnt say the best ive ever had. I prefer double fried fresh cut types... Had the french dip and wave runner (somthing like that) Overall... its a great great lunch place. I like it! Oh and great name! Memorable :)

Kimberley D.

I take visitors to Seattle here because they reliably like it, but I rarely go myself otherwise. They have a variety of sandwiches including vegan & vegetarian fare and serve food 'til 11pm. There's no dark beer which makes me sad. The service is hit or miss. Some employees are really awesome, others ignore you. They have tables that fit 5-6+ so I most often go here with a group of people. The decor is entertaining - piranha swim on the ceiling and black velvet paintings abound.

I LOVE the honey hole, awful name, amazing toasty sandwiches !! I don't really like fries, but these guys have the best fries in Seattle (from my relatively limited sampling of fries)

Patrick H.

Wow this place is really good. I actually went here twice in 8 days while I went to Seattle--yep its that good. Sandwiches have a lot of meat, reallllllllllly tasty and their fries are awesome! Advice: read whats on the sandwiches, sometimes (mm twice actually) I like to substitute. Also, I highly suggest you change any of the breads to the wheat because its realllllllllllllllllllllllllllly good wheat bread. Yes siree!
(4)
Ace C.

Talk about simple and to the point. It's a small almost hole in the wall type a place. Very clean and tidy. The menu is pretty direct. No suprise sauces or mystery meats. You order, sit down and wait for the order. I had the Wave rider: Smoked turkey, pesto sauce, red onion, roasted red peppers, tomato, and smoked Gouda on a fresh French roll. I down it all with a Kemper Root Beer. I don't think that it could get much better than this. This is probably my favorite sanwich shop in Seattle, until proven otherwise.

Jeff W.

The name of this restaurant makes me giggle like I'm Beavis or Butthead. However, if you want a french dip as big as your head, go to the HoneyHole on Wednesdays - it's the special. They will make it any other day, too. Their hot sandwiches are consistenly good. The beer cheese soup is like queso and adds about an inch to my waistline everytime I eat it, but, it's addictive. Chachi's Favorite and the Corleone are also excellent. I prefer this place for lunch rather than dinner, as it's a little more casual. Great music selection, too.
(5)
Texie Y.

This place makes a mean sandwich. I'm not sure whether it was the perfect chewiness of the french bread or the quality of the meat and cheese that won me over completely. Maybe it was the price? All of the sandwiches were very affordable and are qualified contenders for best sandwich in Seattle.

Back during my pre-child days before I moved to the south sound, I enjoyed many a weekend lunch here. They have the best sandwiches.. especially their vegetarian options. Thank you for doing vegetarian better then the local vegetarian only restaurants! Vegetarians like sandwiches too! I also love that both my vegetarian husband and my carnivore self can find something that we both love. Their fries arent anything special quality wise, but they get them PERFECTLY crispy every single time. I usually do not waste my calories on fries, but these are worth it :)
(5)
Meaghan H.

Waverider = delicious. I dream about that sandwich. Drink specials are decent too. I've gotten suitably tipsy off of $5 Long Islands many a Friday night. It's my favorite place to initiate a night of drinking on the Hill, although the selection of decent bars (or, more specifically, bars that don't attract the newly-present frat contingency) has recently diminished. Still, the Honey Hole is a great, chill place for drinkin'.

The hot sandwiches and onion rings are scrumptious! I have yet to try a cold one and the fries were mediocre. The lighting and music sets for a totally kick-back atmosphere. Service is good, I didn't even have to ask for a water refill on a busy weekend. They've got tasty treats for both vegetarians and carnivores. Finding a seat may be a bit of a challenge. Worth the wait, but not great for groups. The portions are pretty big so for those who tend to have bigger eyes than stomaches like myself, I recommend sharing.

Tip P.

My friends and I went there after a long drive back from hiking. The services were great. There's only two bathroom stalls. The restaurant was dark- I kinda like it hehe. Anyways lets talk about how good the sandwiches tasted like. I ordered myself a waverider! I love how crunchy it was and the taste was just right- not to plain not to salty. Wish there was leaf of basil in there though.

Cassie Y.

This place is adorable! The dÃ©cor is really interesting and fun, and the staff was friendly and fast. They were playing Cansei de Ser Sexy, which made for a fun dinner vibe, and was also interesting because usually bars don't play one album end to end. As far as food goes, I got the vegan-ized version of the BLT due to all the ravs about it in other reviews. I'd say it definitely had all the things you'd expect in a "real" BLT: toasted bread, crispy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, crispy but also chewy bacon with mayo to tie it all together. I can see why people like it so much. My boyfriend tried it and said it was spot on for a vegan BLT but he'd still prefer the real deal. I had fries on the side, and they were pretty good. Crunchy and starchy, but nothing to write home about. I would definitely go back and try the Juke, mainly out of curiosity.

Great sandwiches. Nice relaxing environment. I had the BBQ Chicken sandwich. Also know as "Texas Tease!" Actually pretty yummy. Excellent bread (roll).
(4)
Hannah R.

Awesome sandwiches, but the service and the price... The most awkward part about eating at Honeyhole is watching the people around you glare and constantly question where their food is. It happens every time that I go. They've eliminated waiters from their business strategy, so now you walk up and order. However, that's done little to nothing to improve the waiting time for a sandwich (a food dish you wouldn't expect waiting 35+ minutes for). It's also so loud that it's difficult to carry a conversation with another person. But, they are crazy good sandwiches. Try the Texas Tease with the fries.

Great sandwiches. I can't remember the name of mine--the pastrami one. Awesome!!

Paz R.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so I went in on a Sunday afternoon to grab a sandwich before binging on TV. I was interested in about 5-6 different sandwiches so making a decision took forever. I went with the Emilio Pestovez, which turned out to be delicious. I happen to be a fan of Field Roast but it may be an adjustment for someone who hasn't ventured into the meat alternative world. I added avocado (which I do in any situation that I can) but they didn't add enough for it to really be a factor. One star down because my fries weren't hot and fresh, some really limp and almost soggy. If I wasn't already starving, I probably would have asked for a fresh batch. I will definitely go back. After all, I've still gotta work through the rest of the sandwiches that I wanted to try... :)

Honey Hole is the best for sandwiches, drinks, hanging out...everything! I've been coming here for a LONG time. It's a place all of my friends - local or not - like to go. We all crave the Chachi's with bacon! The owners are the nicest and I'm so happy this place has done so well for so long.
(5)
Taylor B.

Best sandwich shop in Seattle. They provide quick service and cheap sandwiches. Each sandwich costs about $12 and it comes with a side of fries or coleslaw. Their service is even pretty good for being on Capitol Hill. Overall, I would recommend this place to family and friends as well as those who are visiting from out-of-town. It's a great place for tourists to check out because of the hipster vibe and funky ambience. Enjoy!

Jason T.

Pretty awesome sandwiches. Open late, a little divey looking, but not in a bad way. It's actually very cozy and comfortable here. The menu is extensive and has a nice selection of hot sandwiches that will fill you up! Every dish comes with tasty golden brown fries too! I've had the "Gooch", and it was great! I've also had the Texas tease which was tasty too! I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches here. Prices are reasonable too. Honey Hole is the best!
(5)
Leland B.

I ordered the "fast eddie" (had the cheese taken off) and a side salad with vinaigrette. This meal was very good. The sandwich had lots of different textures and complimented it self very well. The bread I think was toasted a WEE bit longer than I would have liked, making the outside slightly black, but even with that I still enjoyed it. The tri-tip steak was very good. They did not ask me how I wanted to eat my steak, and I have found this to be a regular thing, but not in this case. It was well done, and I like mine med-rare. The inside of this place has a deep red tint to it, so it has a great ambiance if you want to take a date here, not much seating but it holds about 25 people and another 10 people at the tiny bar in the far corner. This place does look great on the inside though. It's usually the most crowded place on the block. Be prepared to wait a few mins for a seat.

Leigh B.

Fantastic sandwiches! Were walking by and popped in for lunch, great options for everyone. The Gooch was outstanding, tri tip beef and all the trimmings...the jus dip on the side and the horseradish mayo knock this one out the park! Great lunch stop!

Naomi B.

Great selection of hot, cold, meat and vegetarian sandwiches! Clean, open dining room with plenty of seating. Good variety of hot and cold sandwiches made the right way! Toasted demi baguettes don't tear up your mouth, the brisket in the "bandit" isn't full of gristle and is tender and flavorful. And there is a full bar.

Kathryn M.

Vegan haven - great sandwich selection for Vegetarians and vegans. Ladies and gentlemen, they have Veganaise! Both our sandwiches were to die for (Veggie BLT and Bellisimo) I wanted to devour the Bellisimo! The fries were delicious (crispy, thick but not too thick) and they have the best honey mustard I've ever had. Also tried a local vodka (Uvo?) for a dirty martini! Best Dirty Martini in a long time, smooth, just enough dirty, huge olives.

What a great place this is. Came here for the second time today to try another hot sandwich. service was fast and friendly the interior of the building is eclectic and very cool you gotta see it. Can't say enough good things about the place and the food if you're in the area don't miss the honey hole.
(5)
Travis K.

The vegan BLT is one of my favorites! It doesn't taste all that much like bacon but it does taste good. Don't forget the fries, they pair perfectly with the sandwich. Plus how can you argue with place named "Honey Hole"...
(5)
Angela A.

If you like the sando-you must try the HoneyHole. I heard the sandwiches were so good, from friends who grew up in Seattle, and when we realized it was just down the hill from where we were staying, we had to give it a try. They are open late too, which was also helpful. The place has a hipster vibe, loud music and what appeared to be a tiki bar. The music is very loud. If you are lucky you can grab a table at the window and people watch, this neighborhood is quite colorful and a very busy place. HoneyHole sits right on a main drag. The sandos are to die for. The meat is so fresh. The combos look so good. It was really hard t choose! The Gooch caught my eye immediately though so I went with my gut. And I am so glad I did. It was one of the best sandwiches I've had. The beef was so tender. The cheese was so gooey. The horseradish mayo gave it a kick. And it all paired so well with the au jus. I want right now!! I don't know what it was about such simple ingredients but the flavor was so complex. The hubs had some sort of turkey sandwich, I'm sure. I really don't remember because all I could think about was how delish mine was!

It took me 3 trips to honeyhole before I fell in love with it. You can't be wanting a deli sandwich because that is not what you will find here. Instead you get delicious steak or chicken breast sandwiches which you struggle to fit in your mouth. Thing 1 and Thing 2 are my favorite. And the fries, heavenly! I don't know what they do to them, but they are so crispy and good! The price is reasonable as well and they have a full bar. The decor is super fun, you won't get bored looking around here. Be prepared to wait at high dinner times, but its worth it!

I am completely convinced that the Honey Hole puts some insanely addictive substance (possibly crack?) in their sandwiches. I am not even that much of a sandwich fan, and I can't get enough of the sammies at this place. Whenever I drive or walk by here and can't stop for a sandwich, my heart weeps and my belly sheds a tear. The Gooch (French dip) and Waverider (smoked turkey) sandwiches are both so good that I haven't been able to bring myself to try anything else. And there's nothing like a good beer to wash down whatever I end up choosing. This place is right up the hill from my office. I love coming here for lunch. As much as I am wary of hipsters, the very Cap Hill atmosphere here offers a welcome respite from downtown's corporate cubicle crowd. But I also love coming to the Honey Hole at night. It's a great place to stop by before hitting the bars or clubs with friends. The Honey Hole is one of the few Capitol Hill hangouts that transitions seamlessly from daytime cafe to nightlife hotspot. I'd say this place is amazing any time of day or night!

I was here for roughly 3 minutes, and somehow dusted off a Bud Light and a shot of Fernet in 180 seconds. Success!

I love sandwiches so I loved finding HoneyHole for a good lunch. They have great food and the restaurant has a great ambiance. I highly recommend the Texas Tease or the Waverider. They use Tillamook cheese on a lot of the sandwiches, which is so delicious. I've never had any of the cold sandwiches and to be honest none of them sound particularly special so I would suggest sticking with the hot ones.

Tasty sandwiches. Huge tasty sandwiches. And affordable, because as many portions as I get from one Club Tasty, it ends up being about $3 a serving! Of course, others might get caught up in the tastiness and eat the whole thing at once.

Kind of divey, really fun. While I'm not a fan of the field roast sandwiches there, their fake barbeque chicken sandwich - the juke - is incredible! I mean soooo delicious. I've heard their non-vegetarian sandwiches are great too. It's conveniently located if you're on the hill or in downtown and close to so much stuff - so easy to pop in for lunch. Great for good food at a decent price...Not as good to go - sandwiches tend to get doggy, but sitting down with friends is more fun any way. still can't beat paseo for sandwiches, but pretty dang good and easier to get to by bus.

Excellent sandwiches I had the "bandit" which was bbq beef briscket I washed it down with virgil's micro brew root beer which was the best root beer I've ever had hands down !! I'll be coming back allot

Everytime I come to Seattle the Honeyhole is a MUST visit. Gooch knocks it out of the park!

Heather M.

The sandwiches are okay, the salads gi-normous, and the service is great. Sadly, great service alone does not make a sandwich joint. I'd recommend a BBQ joint in Columbia City (any of 'em, pick one) over their pulled meats. If you prefer house-smoked, hand pulled, locally-sourced bacon over taste, then this is the sammie shop for you!

Dan L.

Pretty good place here. I was visiting Seattle and a friend took us to this place for dinner. The sandwich selection is good enough to get a nice variety of meats and condiments for the sandwiches. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and it was very very tasty. Good flavors, cooked perfectly, came out in a timely manner. They also had a good selection of beers despite the bar itself looking incredibly tiny. They had mixed drinks/beers of the day which were cheap and still good. Only issue is there isn't much room and it seems like a popular place. Wish it was a bit bigger and had more room. Would definitely go here again.

carmen l.

The toasted bread smell wafting in the air as you enter is enough to convince you. Honeyhole makes a darned good sandwich, they knock Subway and Quiznos right outta the water. I am impressed simply because, being not a big fan of sandwichs I have went back three times since the first time I have been here, and I will definitely go back in the future.

K S.

Pleasantly priced drink specials (the Screw Hound is great: orange and grapefruit juice with vodka, $3 the day I was there!) and the best sandwich I've ever had in my life, the Emilio Pestovez done vegan. The place is tiny, dark, and comfortable. It does get crowded every now and then but more often than not feels like an awesome Cap Hill secret.

I've only had one experience and man was it a good one! Last day visiting Seattle from San Diego, and a friend who lives in town took us here for lunch. We magically just beat the lunch rush, which added to the fantasticality of my sandwich. I ordered the Bellisimo and I am salivating just thinking of it now. I don't know that I can describe it except that it was awesome. I love all the veggie friendly options everywhere you go in the Northwest and this may have topped them all. If any of the people who run this place ever move to San Diego, PLEASE open one of these places. We are severely lacking sandwich shops with the capability to rock my world. Honey Hole wins!
(5)
Becky B.

HINEY HOLE! But it is soooo much better than anything that could originate near or around the hiney. Seriously. The Bellisimo is the world's best vegetarian sandwich. There is crack in that field roast or some shit, because I think about it for days after I eat one. Plus, and I know this is so typical of me, but those boys that work there? Um yes please. I'll take one of each of you, to go. They also serve Ginger Beer. Ginger Beer+Bellisimo=awesome hangover helper.

Randi S.

I absolutely loved this place. The sandwiches are huge and they really heap on all the ingredients. They have a cute tiki bar area inside and lots of cool kitsch decorations. Super hip and cozy. They have chips AND fries, hot AND cold subs, and lots of veggie selections.

Rowena D.

My husband hipped me to this place about a year ago. We come here every now and then when we are in the mood for sandwiches. The sandwich I always order is Chachi's Favorite. It's basically a jazzed up Turkey & Havarti sandwich. It's so good. I've tried other sandwiches but always seem to come back to Chachi's Favorite. The decor of the restaurant is funky (in a good way) and the servers are really friendly.

Karina V.

Yum. Yum Come here for lunch- it get's pretty busy and it does take awhile to get your food. . but it is well worth it. Food here is pretty tasty and the servings are big! I've only had a the warm sammiches :) I'd definitely come back again and again.. If you love salt- they go a little overboard on seasoning their fries.

Mallory K.

I came here with my boyfriend around 7pm on a Friday night. HoneyHole was pretty busy but we found a spot to sit by the bar. I always order the fast eddie. it's my favorite sandwich. Nothing beats thinly sliced steak, melty cheese, onions and sweet hot peppers! My boyfriends buddies ended up stumbling in while we were eating so he talked to them for a while. The blonde bartender was sweet and must have sensed my boredom because she unexpectedly bought me a shot of rum. I wasn't planning on drinking but that was the beginning of a really wild night.

Kayotie J.

I'm sad. I feel let down and empty inside, both in the sense that my expectations were not met and I'm literally still hungry. We've been to HoneyHole several times and thought that after a long day of working and walking all around town, what could be better than a delicious sandwich from one of our favorite neighborhood spots. Usually the food is eat-until-you're-full-and-then-keep-eating good. That's what keeps us coming back. We split the Thing Number 2 Chicken Burger, which is decked out with avocado, red onion, tomato, bacon, and cheddar on ciabatta...sounds delish, right? Well, sadly, this nighttime nosh definitely fell short. Let me take a moment to mention that the service here was just fine, no complaints at all. We were promptly greeted and handed menus, given water, and checked up on throughout our meal. Our server was friendly and attentive. That said...sigh. I just don't understand what was going on tonight! I mean, usually when I've gone, there has been a wait to be seated but tonight was slow enough that we sat ourselves, so I know the kitchen shouldn't have been backed up. The ciabatta roll was overly crunchy...I know it is supposed to be toasty, but it was REALLY crunchy. Like, hurts-the-roof-of-your-mouth crunchy, like I-left-most-of-it-on-my-plate crunchy. Whatever, though, it's bread. Willing to let that slide, we then realized there wasn't any bacon on it. We debated whether to point that out or not and decided, yeah, since we're paying $11 for a sandwich, it should be what we ordered. Out waitress noticed we weren't chowing down and asked if we needed to go boxes, we asked about the bacon and she said there was supposed to be some on there and went back to the kitchen to remedy the situation. Not a full 10 seconds later she brought the bacon to us on a plate, which was fine. Well, would have been except the bacon was super hot, dry as a bone, and not unlike the ciabatta roll, a mouth-hazard of crunchy sharpness. Obviously, it had been microwaved...I guess that's fair. We didn't say we wanted delicious, properly cooked bacon, we just said bacon. I'm not set on giving up on HoneyHole, but I just feel so let down. Never in a million years thought I would walk outta there, too depressed to enjoy the complimentary dum-dum, saying, "Dang, we should have gotten pho." Bummer.

I had a Veggie BLT and was a little underwhelmed. The whole thing was really... well, hard. The bread was so toasted that it just broke off in pieces in my mouth, and the bacon was hard too. My mouth hurt afterward. I know, I know. This place is "amazing" or something. Didn't see it this time around.

YUM! Veg friendly, decent selection of beers, diverse crowd, good music, YUM YUM YUM! Tables are a little close and awkward, but still my fav place in Seattle to grab a veg sammi

I've tried the gooch, the waverider, and the dude from this place and been satisfied everytime! Their bread is incredibly nice and chewy - I just love the texture. The waverider has a nice spicy kick to it and tastes a bit healthier than other sandwiches (pesto & turkey). The dude is just full of rich fatty goodness with beef brisket, cheese, and aoili sauce. But my favorite still remains the Gooch - juicy french dip, yum yum yum! These sandwiches are huge (they usually last me 2 meals) and come with either fries or salad on the side. You should also try their vegetarian chili cheese fries. I swear it doesn't taste vegetarian at all - so delicious.

Rizznotch S.

Killer sandwiches and fries, friendly service, all in all a nice little joint. The only issue my wife and I ran into was the time of day we stopped in, a little after noon and the lunch rush was in full swing. After we ordered we waited at the bar for about 5 minutes till a table was available and there was some lag on getting our food, but the place was PACKED so it's not a complaint and everybody behind the counter was clearly work as fast as they could. I had a pulled pork sandwich, while it wasn't the best pork I've ever had it was perfectly balanced on the sandwich and that's the important part. The slaw was good and not too creamy, adding a nice crunch to the very tender pork. The bread is fantastic, with a nice crust outside and a good chew inside. The sandwich had plenty of flavor and not over sauced, really REALLY great. My wife had the goosh, a tri tip sandwich with an AMAZING au jus on the side, the sandwich alone was good but it's the au jus that ties the whole thing together. Same great bread too. Go to Honey Hole and have a sandwich and fries, it's that simple.
(5)
Jeff F.

Nice lil bar/sandwich joint. Eclectic dÃ©cor and the Capital Hill crowd. The sandwiches are pretty rich/hefty. Two light eaters can share one and be full. Many of the sandwiches were around $8. Add a cup of soup and tax, it's about $12. "The Gooch" was not bad, but a bit too much horse-radish for me. I'd stop by again to try the expensive sandwiches if I passed by, but wouldn't go out of my way. I've heard of pink tacos named "The Gooch", but a sandwich? Catchy name, but not everyone wants to put their mouth on it.
(3)
Alan F.

Apparently their menu is recently revamped! I tried a sampler of veggie sandwiches and the Bellisimo was the best. The Juke (BBQ chikn) was heavy, sweet and sloppy, and the Emilio Pestovez could be either bland or pesto-y.... There are some decent beer selections here too, plus funky music to implore yr crazy crew to get down at the ripe hour of noon o clock.
(4)
Adriana K.

Ah, the Honey Hole. Makes for a great place to suggest a first date to someone you just met; "I take it you are referring to a restaurant..." I have always loved their sandwiches and salads and fun decor. Waitstaff has always been efficient; not overly friendly nor rude. I have tried several of the sandwiches; The Waverider, and BBQ chicken pizza that I can recall off the top of my head. Most recently we had a large house salad and That Thing Two Chicken Burger - which was juicy and satisfying (so was the Greyhound I had with it ;) I liked that the House Salad had mixed greens with cranberries added to the standard fare. A Capital Hill standby that isn't too expensive, and predictably good.

Nick V.

I love this place! Came here to have the corleone hot pastrami sandwich after several hours of drinking casually - and 2 hours prior had a burger at the Chapel down the street - *Ok, so we split the corleone. I'm not that much of a fatty. Bonus: They brought out the sandwich on two separate plates with a generous portion of fries - which were AMAZING. Bonus #2: They serve the Espresso Stout from Two Beers Brewery! It gets crowded in here quick, especially during the 4-7PM hours. I'm such a fan and have been coming here for years, I can't believe I've never Yelped about it! It's fun to bring non-Seattleites up in here. "What?! HoneyHole? What the F is that?"
(5)
Lisa C.

Now let me start by saying I am not a sandwich person. I don't really like bread, I've never liked sandwiches. But this place is good! I went today for lunch and the El Guapo. I'll admit I ordered it mainly for the name, I'm a big 3 Amigos fan... it's a vegetarian sandwich that is made on a very light and toasted baguette with red onion, green pepper, gouda, tomato and a lite creamy sauce.... and it's warm. I pretty much devoured it. The service here leaves a bit to be desired, none of the dudes who worked here seemed all that pleasant. They basically wandered the place aimlessly screaming names until someone realized their order was ready.... don't you think you could use numbers or something? The place is loud anyway cause it's small and packed with people, so guys walking around literally YELLING names doesn't help. The non-alcoholic beverage list leaves something to be desired. My choices seemed to be water, pop (coke products), and nestea unsweetened tea. I sandwhich shop needs lemonade or Jones soda or something. The restaurant itself is nice and cozy, tables are close together but comfortable. The bar is miniscule, but I guess it's a bonus that they have a bar at all.

I love, LOVE this place!! Amazing sandwiches for a great price!! And the staff is always super nice. Very easy to start a conversation with everyone, which for me is a plus. I like my servers/host(ess) to bevery friendly. Getting to the food: My usual is the Waverider (Pesto, tomatoes, gouda, turkey, mayo), side of fries and a water bottle. My fiance recently started ordering the same thing. Both orders is only $21 and some change! Yup, delicious and inexpensive. HIGHLY recommend it.

Alysse E.

Dear HoneyHole- I love you! I ate at the HH one time five years ago, and didn't get to do so again until this year. I try to hit it up at least once a month, since I don't live near it. The WaveRider is my favortie. Pesto, turkey, gouda? YES PLEASE. I even like the veggie sandwiches (and I'm a lot of meat on a sandwich kinda gal) especially the El Guapo (how can veggies and bread be so hearty and filling?). The HoneyHole is great because it's amazing sandwiches+good prices+full bar option. It's also a great bar at night, perfect when you want low lighting, good drinks, and the ability to tell loud jokes without being glared at. Wonderful.
(4)
Marcus L.

Meh. I think I had better. I asked the cashier which sandwich was good and he suggested a hot turkey with havarti cheese, tomatoes and ranch (forgot the name of it). The bread was soft and toasted well, but I thought there was too much ranch dressing and not enough meat. Also, I didnt think the flavors went well together. It might have been what I ordered. So much for letting the cashier choose for me. This place is also a bar at night, maybe the food will taste better while being slightly intoxicated.
(3)
Jillian S.

Mmmmm ... Honey Hole! This place pumps their delicious smells out onto Pike, making it really hard to pass up! My husband and I stop in here for their awesome vegetarian sandwiches. We always get the Bellissimo and the Emilio Pestovez -- both delicious. We've also tired a number of their vegetarian soups -- veg chili, roasted red pepper -- and we've liked them all. The Honey Hole is always consistent -- huge portions, great sandwiches, and good tunes always blaring.

Wing M.

My mouth is kinda big. I can eat a cupcake in two bites. And yet I had trouble eating one of the burgers at HoneyHole because it had to much stuff in it. I recall bacon, onion rings, and some dressing that I don't exactly recall. But yeah, it was one of the best under $9 burgers I've had in a while. It came with a whole big helping of fries too and the fries were super crunchy. Mmmm... Atmosphere-wise it's like a sandwich shop mixed with a dive bar mixed with a comfy coffee lounge. I definitely felt really comfy there even though the space was kinda tight.

The Honey Hole has terrific food, a great atmosphere and friendly service. The only complaint I could have is they're so popular, you often have to wait for a seat. Hopefully they'll expand soon!
(5)
Amara D.

The HoneyHole is exactly what a darkly red lit, oddly postured restaurant in Capital Hill should be. The sandwiches are large. They don't skimp on the fires. The bar looks like a cabana. I enjoyed my Gooch (aka French Dip) and the Corlene my man ate was also good. They keep a number of brews on tap (umm this is Seattle!) and the drink list is small but well crafted. When you go be sure to bring an extra $6.00 for a lovely blueberry lemondrop... really it made my night. If you have the good sense to come during Happy Hour, HoneyHole will prove to a treat.
(4)
Jasmine M.

oh honey hole- I have visited your place almost every friday for a long while now. i have had a long running relationship with THE GOOCH, no horseradish mayo, no cheese-subsittuted with veganaise on the side--so that I can also dip my delicious and crispy fries in it with ketchup! The au jus dipping sauce is delicious. And although seating at times can be tough. I stick it out because for so long, the gooch has been worth it. Keep it up- this will be a place I romanticize about long after I leave Seattle.

I walked into this fine place on a Saturday evening with a few friends and sat down for a sandwich. They really take pride in their sandwiches- and man, are they nice and meaty. I got the Gooch, which was served au jus. My friend got the Buford T. Justice, which is a fine barbecue-y number. The fries were good- not the wimpy kind you dread to get in restaurants! They also had a good selection of brews, and the waitstaff was helpful in selecting it. The service was timely, the beverages were satisfying, and the sandwiches were deep-down satisfying. I'd recommend the Honey Hole for good food and conversation with a few friends.

A friend introduced me to this place when I was in Seattle as one of the best lunch places around, and I'd have to agree. I went here a few times on my trip and even stopped at the bar when it transformed into one at night, one night. Was NOT a fan of their Summertime Salad though. Maybe it's just me, but mint dressing is GROSS. The Summer Babe and The Bandit are delish. The drinks at the bar are served nice and strong.

Gary D.

Stopped in for a bite. Had the "Gooch" Awesome sandwich! Everyone else had the same experience too with their sandwiches. I also had the French onion soup, it wasn't 13 coins but it was very good, it is hard to get good French onion soup. The ambiance was energetic as well as the music and clientele. Will definitely go back. They need to create and name one of their sandwiches the "Cool Hand Luke"

Kyle M.

Best damn sandwich place in Seattle! I lived in Seattle for two years and every time I come back to visit, I always make a point to revisit the Honeyhole. I've had quite a bit of their menu and every sandwich has been delicious and difficult to get my mouth around. The fries that I recommend you order with your sandwich are cooked in something magical clearly, that produce an amazing fry with golden and fancy texture that are sooooo good. At lunch time it's your classic walk up and order kinda deal. At night they close the area off to the kitchen and register, change up the menu, and it becomes more of a sit down restaurant. The staff hasn't changed much in the last 3 years and there's always one guy that works the lunch shift that super animated, nice, and just all around super cool. Which in a sea of dumbass hipsters Seattle houses... he is the beacon of hope for dozen of callous, flannel wearing douchebags. Sorry... got carried away. The Honeyhole sports a full bar and alway has great beer on tap. May I recommend the Manny's Pale ale or Mac n' Jacks African amber?
(4)
Jim D.

Really good sandwiches, of course. The 'slaw is alright, but the sandwiches are really the best part. Every sandwich I've had here has been awesome. That's pretty much all there is to say about it! If you like superb hot or cold sandwiches, quality made from healthy ingredients, then please do yourself the favor and go to HoneyHole.
(4)
Carlie D.

Hands down the best sandwiches that I have ever had in my life have come from Honeyhole. The Gooch makes my mouth water just thinking about it now. This is one place that I always go when I come home now. I can't wait until February when I am reunited with my favorite sandwiches again! They also have a good happy hour which makes pairing that delicious sandwich with a nice hoppy brew a cheap and easy experience.
(5)
Quazie Q.

The Honey Hole is a tasty sandwich place, with some good options for any person, be you a meat lover, or a vegan. If you are in to meat then get The Bandit - My god, some freakin delicious brisket here on this sandwich. The texas tease and the pulled pork sandwich are also awesome, meaty, delicious, and all around good. The only meat downside here is the bacon, not that its bad, but just that it isn't bacon, it is instead some candian bacon-esque fried meat. Its alright, but really its not bacon. Their fries... they leave me a little cold (not that the fries themselves are cold, merely that they aren't very inspiring). But their soup always leaves me warm and full. It's rare, but their beer cheese soup is awesome, and all of the other soups I've had there have left me quite happy. The Big Smooth is the best of the veggie/vegan sandwiches in my mind. The tempeh is awesome and the freshness of the bread is perfect. I've heard, though never tried it, that the vegan BLT is also great. They have an alright beer selection, not very vast, but they do have a Belgian white that is quite good with their meat-whiches. Get the beer in a pounder size, I always prefer my beer to have a handle.

Mmmm, The Honey Hole! Totally yumm-o sandwiches!!! I have never had a bad sandwich here but I think that my favorite has got to be the Wednesday special, O-Danny Boy. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is that sometimes I question how often their employees shower. Really...I don't want to smell you when I am ordering food. P.S. A co-worker and I tried to look up their menu online once when we were craving a sandwich for lunch...their website is THEhoneyhole.com , I don't suggest trying to visit honeyhole.com while at your place of employment! :)

Olin B.

Getting a hot gooch at HoneyHole is worth so much more than the mere dirty joke due to the deliciousness of the sandwich. All of the hot sandwiches I've had are great and they even made a pretty mean egg salad. Chachi's Fav. and the Luke Duke are also winners. Solid bread and a decent side of fries bump this place above your average sandwich. A relaxed atmosphere for lunch or even late at night because when's the last time your "$5 footlong" came with shots of whiskey? Never! Except that one Tuesday with Devon, but that night ended with an arrest and cold sweet onion sauce in your hair. Eat here and end your night with a hot piece of delicious instead.

Cat S.

The smell of sweet bbq sauce wafting around HH is enough to snag any hungry passerby. The pulled pork is fabulous. I rated it 4/5 because whenever I'm really in the mood for a sandwich, its entirely too populated. The space isn't super small, but they have a lot of loyal fans :)

I actually had my birthday dinner here. My friend used to work as a waitress here and the food is AMAZING. I love how dim velvety red the inside is! It's always crowded when I come in. I tried the Texas Tease once. YUUUM. that's all I have to say. Plus they come in such huge portion that I had to take half of it home and eat it the next day.

Elyza D.

As a vegan, I get a bit overly excited to find a place that specifically fits my needs. Honeyhole totally fits that description. The vegan BLT owns my life; Especially on regular ole' wheat bread. I have to reorder the ingredients, as they seem to put all the V. Bacon in the middle of sandwich, but that is my only qualm. The service is absolutely excellent. The bartender, Whitney, is just top of the notch. Totally sweet and accommodating. A bit on the expensive side, but oh well, HoneyHole, I will see you soon.

First thing I noticed about Honeyhole... the fan blowing the amazing aroma of BBQ onto the sidewalk. Talk about salivation! I've been to the HoneyHole twice now and have enjoyed both experiences. The first time I had a french dip sandwich - yum! The baguette was soft in the middle with a bit of a crunchy crust and was stuffed full of thin slices of moist roast beef. The accompanying broth was tasty and enhanced the flavor of the meat. My boyfriend had one of the new BBQ specials and proclaimed it was just the way he likes it: messy and smothered in BBQ sauce. The second time we ate here, I had a cup of their vegetarian chili and a side salad. Bf had a burger. Again, the food was filling and tasty, though I think my salad was missing its olives! I like the atmosphere of the HoneyHole - it's kind of dark, but that adds to its cozy appeal. I particularly enjoy sitting in the booths in the window, where you can people watch to your heart's content while partaking in the delicious cuisine. I'm definitely heading back here next time I crave a sandwich... which is every time I happen to walk by.

Cat A.

Stoked to find yet another sandwhich spot within walking distance to my first-hill apt. I always pass by this place walking to/from qfc on broadway and that sweet bbq smell lingers around me and makes me question why I didn't just go to HH instead of the supermarket. I come in here mid-day and order their 1/2 sandwhich of BBQ brisket (which the polite tatted up cashierette explains it's high popularity) and fries. Out it comes less than 10 minutes and in my mouth. The bread is crispy and the cheese is melted on to the bread. The BBQ is sweet and tangy the brisket is nice and tendah. Not insanely messy which is occasionally not a bad thing. Oh yeah! At night time, it becomes a hoppin happy hour spot. They have a little bar that I assume gets super packed. The clientele is a mix of hipsters, artists, professionals, and ___________. Ah, the life of Pike & Pine!

Meatball Sandwich!!! Oooohhhhhhh Aaaahhhhh! YUMMY! I think it was the inner-Joey in me (Joey of Friends) that inspired me to have a meatball sandwich. When I think of meatballs I automatically think of spaghetti, but I was feeling adventurous and thought, what the hell. I'm at a place called Honeyhole so be adventurous! For good measure I also ordered a Long Island... after downing a few of those everything tastes good =) The Long Island deserves a B+.... I've had better, but it was tasty.... my dinner buddies both had some fruity drink with sunrise or sunshine in the name... they quite liked them. Then came the good stuff! The meatballs themselves were sort of forgetful, but combined with the sauce, the fromage and the bread.... ooooh la la! Heaven. I'm a strong believer that cheese makes everything better and I was thusly pleased with the copious amounts of mozzarella. The bread was buttery, crispy and toasty! Most enjoyable. The meatballs could have had a little more flavor, but I was overall thrilled with my sandwich. I'm not a huge fan of the Steak Fries they serve, but they were better than most I've had. My two buddies both ordered the burger which they enjoyed. I was too full after inhaling my sandwich to sample there's, but they looked tasty. I'll be back! I'll be back! I'll be back! It's so tempting for me to order another meatball samich, but I'm going to try my very hardest to expand my repertoire! Come here! And if there's a wait you can go to Babeland which is right next door....

Pretty excellent vegetarian options. Not a big fan of the a la carte menu items. A sandwich or burger should come standard with some sort of starchy side IMHO. But, I can only knock a star off for that. Everything else is spot on!

first of all i love that they are open late so i can get some grub after working! Their sandwhiches are amazing! Tonight I had a pulled bbq pork sandwhich topped with cheddar cheese and coleslaw, yum city! Also being the classy lady I am, I might have had a couple olympia's from draft while shoving my pie hole.

The very best thing about the Honeyhole is it's name in combination with its proximity to Babeland. Possibly the best date combo ever. The sandwiches are amazing too! Me, I'm a big fan of the Buford T. Justice, but I've yet to have a sandwich that I didn't love. Also, the fries. Also, they usually have Hale's Cream Ale. Also, pickles. I don't even love pickles, but the pickles at the Honeyhole are extra-good pickles! ALSO, several of the employees are kinda hot...you know who you are. Overall, I have absolutely nothing not-good to say about The Honeyhole.

During the day, you walk up and order. In the evening it switches over to a full-fledged sit down restaurant. Cute little bar in the corner with a handful of stools. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach, no matter what I order. The onion rings are out of this world. Chachi's Favorite is also mine.

Giant, delicious sandwiches. Many options for vegetarians. Cheap beer specials ($2 pints of Oly? I'm in!). Service is competent and meals are brought out in a timely fashion. My only beef is with the ambiance. It's loud and you've got to pick your table carefully else there's precious little light that isn't a bright, disorienting red. I'm totally glad to live in the same neighborhood as HoneyHole.

Heather J.

I love love love the Veggie BLT, (veganaise optional)! Yum. Yum. In fact I have never had anything else. I usually do get the fries which are also delicious. So salty and warm. Sometimes I get a beer. I often think about branching out, but I cant bring myself to do it. on my last visit I asked about the veggie chicken sandwhich but the cashier didnt know much about the chicken so back to my original. I am always happy with this choice. I do appreciate the number of veggie sandwhiches available. One of my fav spots on the hill.

The first time I went to the HoneyHole, I had had a few drinks and everything we ordered was a God-sent. However I have returned numerous times and can say I have not been disappointed. Well, maybe their service has been less than stellar, but their food has been tasty. My suggestion is to go at dinner time over lunch (better ambiance). I heart the Gooch, Gilroy chips, and their fries. I also like their bartenders; maybe not the greatest mixologists, but the drinks are usually strong, and the bartenders are up for good conversation. Introduce yourself to the HoneyHole. You maybe be surprised how sweet it can be... ::dirty giggle::

This place is awesome. Great beer selection, fantastic sandwiches, and in my opinion the best burgers I've had.... and great fries... and great atmosphere... and a great name. The place is open all day, but they have a different model for lunch and dinner. Before 5pm, sandwiches don't come with fries, they have no burgers )-: and you have to order from the counter. Drinks are DIY at the fountain. After 5pm, the curtain is drawn over the lunch operation (literally), table service starts, and the lights at the bar are turned on. Thankfully, they serve beer all day, even if the lights are off. They also still serve their delicious crispy seasoned fries at lunch, but you have to order them separately. If you want their Misty Isle (Vashon Island-raised) hamburgers, you are SOL. If you want some of their delish veggie (or super meaty) sandwiches, you can get them all day and night. Nit-picky downsides: - Some people I know object to coming here because of the name. sigh... - Some people I know don't like how sometimes we have to wait 5-10 minutes for a table to enjoy our great beer and great food. - The bathroom is for emergencies only - Burgers only after 5pm )-: - I don't live within two blocks of this place - Inadequate bike parking - When I come up the hill on my bike I usually don't have a bag big enough to get a burger for takeaway

One day I will weigh 900 lbs and I think I will begin my accusations of this weight gain with the honey hole. My mouth will water way to much if I try to review everything there. My goodness. I guess lets start with the atmosphere. Its quirky, yes quirky. I seem to be drawn to quirky like a manny's frosty pint at honey hole to one of there BBQ sandwiches, try the Buford T. Justice. Oh did I mention their menus are fun as well. I think the only thing not fun about the honey hole is figuring out when and where and how to seat yourself or be seated or seat while being seated. Little awkward but once your sitting your set. It has kind of a clubhouse feel to it with delicious sandwiches. Its great for friends or even a light first date. On one occasion a friend of mine swears she spotted Tom Robbins. I looked up saw a man with a goatee ray bans and baseball cap.....at night. Could have been. He was writing on a napkin and talking to an inanimate object. Either way the honey hole attracts a diverse and intimate crowd.

Went for a late lunch, loved it! Staff was super friendly, sandwich was huge and filling, and they had great beers on tap. I got the special of the day and really thought the sandwich knocked the ball out of the park. Free refills on sodas (a fountain machine is to the side of the kitchen) and the place was clean and rustic. Would definitely return and meet up for friends. Totally unpretentious and laid back.

Neil N.

Still one of my favorite sandwich shops ever. Great veggie and carnivorous menu items, so it's very group friendly. From downtown, a bit of an uphill hike up Pike, but sooo worth it! My favorites are El Guapo, the Gooch(for you Diffrent Strokes fans) and the Texas Tease. I had the Texas Tease this time; great shredded chicken breast, still moist but not diluted in BBQ sauce, and served on a soft french roll. The onions, tho, are the real kick in this sandwich. For lunchtime, the wait can be long, so be prepared to order right when you get in. Also, if you go here, be prepared to take it to go. The place is small, so tables are pretty scarce. So large groups might be outta luck. But for the quality of food, it's worth taking it to-go and eating near Cap Hill or near SCCC. Joey from "Friends" would love this place, as this turns to a bar that serves sandwiches until 2am. But hands-down one of the best sandwich shops and lunch-time places in the Cap Hill area.

I've been here a couple of times and the sandwiches are pretty good. I like the fries a lot. The prices are normal for a restaurant. Sometimes hard to find a place to sit. I think the last sandwich I ordered was a pulled pork sandwich. It was good but not amazing. Perhaps I ordered the wrong sandwich?

this is the first and only time i'm gonna say this: "I LOVE, CRAVE, AND DREAM ABOUT EATING-NIBBLING-SUCKING GOOCHES ALL DAY LONG, BABYYYYYYYYYYYY!" ahem. so yeah... try the gooch sandwich. it's pretty good. ;) the honey hole brings out the inner slut in me. sad (and embarrassing) to admit. baby, if you're reading this, don't break up with me. i still love all your female parts. promise, crossmyhearthopetodiestickafingerinmyeye.

The Honey Hole is for lunch, and from here I did get lunch many times whilst working on Capital Hill, and it was good. However, I find that I do not go out of my way to eat lunch here now that I do not work on Capital Hill. Some people love the Honey Hole, But I guess I just love some other places much more.
(3)
Sare P.

Sorry honey hole. Yes, your hot sandwiches are always served TOTALLY HOT and melty. Good for a cold seattle morningnoon. But you wont find variety here. Even after the menu changed, I was still left to order one hot turkey melt. Add fries (the fries are truly delicious and amazing), and tip, and a sandwich I didnt really fall in love with, and it just didnt feel like money well spent. Maybe some more hot turkey/havarti/avocado options?
(3)
Christina B.

I don't understand how these sandwiches are so good. WTF? I got the Bellisimo without the goat cheese and with vegan mayo so I could share with my vegan friend and it was AMAZING. I can't imagine how it could taste better, even with the goat cheese. The sundried tomato field roast is delicioussssss. I've eaten it twice in two weeks and I want to go back and stuff my face with it again. The fries are also glorious.
(5)
Vas S.

ok food with ok service and ok atmosphere. I've been there twice so I don't think it was a fluke. Not sure why everyone else seems to love this place. Maybe a Seattle thing? I'm a New Yorker now and I can't see a New Yorker giving this place 4 stars.

Danie R.

Oh man, the sandwiches are banging. I am foaming at the mouth thinking about it. They have a decent veggie selection too, with 4 or 5 vegetarian/vegan friendly sammies. I love the BLT with vegenaise! I am a sucker for vegan BLT's though.. so good and smokey.
(5)
Danielle W.

This is one of my favorite places to grab some belly-fillin' treats! A unique blend of hand made and vintage-inspired art hangs off the walls and ceiling giving you a lot of fun stuff to check out. There isn't a ton of seating, but service is pretty quick and people are usually in and out in not too much time. My favorite item off the menu is the Vegetarian BLT. So so so delicious. The bread is so fresh! Decent prices, fresh-made food, and fun atmosphere. I love this place, check it out!

Grover M.

Sandwiches can get a bad rap for being boring. Honeyhole shows that sandwiches can still be great and worth going out for. Everything I've had there is just wonderful. Excellent quality (and quantity!) of ingredients. Try it, you'll love it. Highly recommended.

Man, I remember the Honeyhole being so much better! This was one of the first restaurants that I went to in Seattle - my older cousin and his girlfriend took me here for vegetarian sandwich goodness (the two vegetarian cousins both ended up in Seattle - interesting). But I came in here the other day with a yen for an awesome sandwich. The Big Smooth looked like it would hit the spot - marinated tempeh, veggies and feta cheese spread. But the execution was lacking - they skimped on everything except the bread. Now, I'm not one of those people with carbophobia, but if I order a sandwich I want it made on a slice of bread - not a loaf. This made the Big "Smooth" super dry and pretty unappetizing. The idea was nice though - all the offerings sound good in theory, and if they actually delivered on a loaded sandwich they would be worth the price. The Honeyhole also has some cool decorating. It's a pretty cool place, I almost want to go back and give it another chance... but as it stands, the Honeyhole is a disappointment.
(3)
Megan S.

I absolutely always get the tempeh sandwich when I come here. Its huge and delicious. The fries are the bomb and their drinks are tasty and cheap. I also love the name and the fact that they're neighbors to Babes in Toyland. Now, if I could only make it over the the hill more often...

Stephen H.

Solid place for a sandwich. Probably the best sandwich on the Hill. Get any of the Hot Sandwiches on the menu, and it is highly unlikely that you'll be disappointed. Also, cool interior and bar - usually have good beer on tap, and cool cocktail menu. Gone here before just for a couple drinks.

Love their sandwiches. I always get the Gooch which is basically a roast beef sandwich. Their au jus is SO GOOD and their portion sizes are huge.

First time there & I DIDN'T TRY THE FOOD. This review is based on customer service only. So I walked in there tonight, taking a break from my studies for a huge exam. I called in my order, my phone clocks the time at 10:00pm. Lets assume I talked to the guy for about 5 minutes (he was very nice and helpful). He told me it would be about 15 minutes. No problem. I arrive, and wait. At about 10:25, I ask when my order will be ready. The woman (hat, blonde hair, winged eyeliner) happily goes to look. She comes back out and condescendingly says "Yeah it will be a few more minutes, your order was just placed at 10:14pm and it takes about 15 minutes." I explain that I called at 10am (phone died while I was standing there so I couldnt prove it) and she continued to argue with me about what her computer says and how I havent really been waiting that long etc... I tell her that im not going to argue with her, but I have a ride waiting. She goes to the back and I can see her through the big mirror as she puts both of her middle fingers up. Really? A customer checking on their order is that upsetting to a waitress? That cannot be the worst you've had to deal with. Anyway, after waiting for at least 25 minutes, I immediately requested my money back. No manager or person in charge tried to make it right. Although, the nice guy in the bar did apologize for the waitress' behavior. I wasted about an hour total (wait time and drive time) and left with no food. So irritated. Wont go back.

I'd heard great things about Honey Hole for quite some time, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to go there. I'm a little...particular about my sandwiches, and I hate asking them to leave half the ingredients off. We were hungry, and headed to an event in CH, and I finally decided I was just going to do it. What a great choice! Since I'm not a fan of things like cheese and mayo, sometimes restaurant sandwiches just aren't great (blah). At home I can load up on the veggies, but it's not always possible in a restaurant. When I saw The Gooch, though, I knew I had to have it. The server didn't mind leaving off the cheese & mayo, and my sandwich didn't suffer at all. The meat is seasoned wonderfully, and the au jus added some great flavor and helped soften the bread a bit (I like that they toasted the bread, sometimes French dip type sandwiches fall apart once you start dipping). The onions are sliced super thin, and thus nice and tender. The bathrooms are wheelchair accessible (rare in small restaurants), and the crowd at the restaurant was great - when a nearby table spilled their water, there were plenty of napkins offered by surrounding tables, not just people staring. I'll be back!

Ellen T.

Normally I don't care for sandwiches that come with au jus, nor sandwiches that come with onions. But The Gooch at Honeyhole has changed my perspective on roast beef French dip sandwiches for the better. I don't know what it is but the way they get the cheese and horse radish spread to melt together into this wonderful tasty goop, it melds into the sandwich just perfectly so the whole thing doesn't fall apart when you take a bite. The veggie sandwich menu looked pretty good too and I'm not even a vegetarian. It's casual enough of a place where you place your order and they give you a number. They have about six taps and the draft list has good stuff. So yeah, Honeyhole is a good place to take your out of town college friends or for picky eater tourists that don't like seafood. There's something for everyone here.

Damien I.

This place is so awesome. All the food is great you leave here feeling so satisfied like a bomb of greatness went off in your mouth. Small place so expect to get friendly real quick since it's always a full crowd and always an open seat for one more party.

Despite the eerie red glow that it's bathed in, HoneyHole is one of my favorite joints on Capitol Hill. It's inexpensive and unpretentious, staffed by down-to-earth, friendly people, and boasts an array of satisfying sandwich and snack options, many of them vegetarian or vegan. I highly recommend the BBQ faux-chicken sandwich, which you will devour ravenously. You won't even mind the mess - the mess is what makes it such an authentic-feeling BBQ sandwich. You can grab a table with friends or sidle up to the bar. Last time I ate there, my hair caught on fire and I didn't even notice. Some nice gentlemen put it out for me and then were strangely defensive about it. Somehow this memory only makes HoneyHole dearer to me.

Best French Dip I've had in my life. Would definitely go back. Good value. The cashier could not really explain what the tomato field roast was, though. I think it is weird/concerning when someone does not know what is in a main ingredient.

Kathie s.

What a great selection of Hot veggie sandwiches. This little gem was found by a friend and now it is a "must have" everytime we are on the hill. Make sure to allow time as it does take a while to order and get your food. If the food was not so good, the wait might get on my nerves. Honeyhole has it nailed down for great veggie food. I will be back again as soon as I am in the area.

Brittany S.

Came here for lunch and had heard so many good things I was super excited to try it! I got the Veggie BLT. It was good and something I wouldn't usually make at home for myself but bread was so hard - its a sandwich that comes toasted - it cut my gums extremely bad. It also didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked and was pretty dry. Overall not too pleased as the meal cost me $12+ and I now have cuts in my mouth that I am sure will last for a bit. I would try it again if I had people who wanted to go but only if I was already in the area; I would not make another trip on my own.

I wish I had another stomach. The sandwiches are amazing and I'm not really a sandwich person so that's sayin' something!

B R.

Honestly, I read these reviews and was so excited to try this place but was very disappointed. We showed up and were expecting a wait from reading the reviews but after ordering a take out order and repeating that several times we received our sandwiches on plates. Obviously not a huge deal but just went to show they were not listening to our order. Then we received our sandwiches finally 30 minutes later, togo and they weren't anything to write home about. I ordered the bbq chicken sandy and it was very bland. I really wanted this to be a great lunch spot for us but sadly that is not the case.

I wish they had a San Francisco location. I am vegetarian and they made me a Vegitarian version of a BLT and it was yum yum. My friends who ate meat had other sandwiches and they loved it too.

great sandwiches. i think if you're charging 2.50 for the fries (which are tasty), then either offer a generous portion, or charge less. a fun, affordable, tasty n'hood joint overall.

Really great sandwich place. Great flavor and super filling. 4 stars because no complimentary fries/sides, and not as good as Paseo's in Fremont.

Qui C.

i came here with the impression that i was gonna eat a light meal - sandwiches, salad, soup... i was dead wrong. my roommate warned me though, saying it's heavy and more for midnight munchies. she was totally hit the nail on the head with this one. i got the tri tip french dip and the hubs got a pastrami. both the sandwiches were good, plenty of meat, cheese, and packed full of flavor. it was greasy and heavy for the first meal of the day. the au jus for the tri tip french drip was super rich and made for the great pairing with the sandwich. everything was good but just greasy.

Brent L.

The 'Chachi's Favorite' was a really good sandwich for a decent price. It would be nice if a side like fries were included but overall, a pretty good value. Today was my first time in but I plan on going back soon :)

Chris N.

Went here for the first time. Bussed to downtown with my friend and we were trying to figure out what to eat. My suggested we go to honey hole and I'm always down to try new places, especially sandwiches. It was a walk but the day was nice. Went in and the vibe was really chill. Order at the counter and went to choose our seats. I ordered "the dude" sandwich and a side of fries. My friend got "the gooch" and boy were those sandwiches good. I'm definitely coming back here in the future.

Jerry M.

The dip was really good.

We got the gooch, which is tri-tip, sharp cheddar, horseradish mayo, and a side of au jus. This is the type of sandwich that you don't mind dripping down the side of your arms. It was that good.

I went to The Honey Hole with a friend ready to eat some good food! As we went inside, it was a little busy, but nothing major. We were told we could sit at a nearby booth as one of the personnel pointed at a booth. We sat down and some other person set menus on our table as she was on her way to another table with drinks. We take about 5 to 7 minutes to figure out what we want to eat then close our menus and wait. After about 5 minutes of waiting, we both decide to try and make eye contact with some of the passerby personnel all of which seem to be too busy to even look our way. After about 5 more minutes we decide that maybe instead of just having our menus closed, we should push our closed menus to the edge of the table so it is more clearly seen that our menus are closed and we are ready. Then another couple comes in. They are seated and a few minutes later they are helped and their order is taken. My friend and I look at each other in disbelief! At this point, the it is a bit more busy in the restaurant and there are no more tables available. A waiting line begins to form. After waiting and waiting and trying to get the staff's attention we finally decide to get up and leave after about 40 minutes with absolutely no help at all! Then right after we get up to leave, one of the personnel ushers the next couple waiting in line to the seats we just got up from!!! How crazy is that!?! Not sure what that was all about, but it's one thing to have bad service, and another thing to have no service at all!

Erik H.

Fantastic Sandwiches..... Soooooo Goooood..!!!!! Quality meats & cheese's, fresh baked bread, garden fresh veggies, and very tasty bbq sauce... My personal go-to's are the Texas Tease, The Gooch, and The Buford T. Justice. All excellent imo!! There's a longer then normal wait compared to your typical sandwich shop.. I reccomend calling in your order, or make sure you have enough time to spare. There sandwiches are well well worth the wait though. Delish :-)

Amy S.

What a neat place. While visiting our daughter, we wanted a good burger/sandwich and she threw this out as an option. So glad she did. Read the reviews, and some were less than impressed with the inside, but loved the food. I LOVED the inside look! And fortunately, the food did not disappoint. My burger was Yummy! And Huge! So was my hubby's. and for my daughter, gluten free bun! Excellent staff, quick service. Will be back next time.

Pascal P.

I was taken here shortly after a long cross-country flight. Part of me just wanted to sleep but the prospect of beer and a sandwich was too appealing to turn down. I'm glad I didn't because the HoneyHole was fantastic. Being in Seattle it was very hipsterish but the staff was friendly and service was good. They had an interesting selection of local beer on tap. What impressed me most was the food they serve here. The sandwich that I had was excellent and it came with very hot and crispy french fries. I only made it here once so I'm not too much of an authority on their menu but if I ever come back to Seattle I'll be stopping by.
(5)
Fayme W.

I Have been here for both the lunch service and dinner service. Lunch is a little different you order at the counter and then they bring it out to you. Dinner service there are servers. Both were great. Good food, reasonable prices, friendly people, and good beer. Definitely recommend this place!!

Erica B.

I ordered the Wave Rider minus the mayo. It's a warm turkey sandwich with gouda cheese and veggies. It's not deli style turkey but carved turkey, like at Thanksgiving! The sandwich was delicious and the staff were very friendly. I want to go back and try a few of the others out. If anyone's looking for a tasty and fresh sandwich, this is a great place to go.

Tasteless overpriced sandwiches. I am shocked this place averages 4 stars???!! I'd rather go to a chain sub shop, yick.
(2)
Chaka H.

Wow. The waverider had amazing reviews... but I still didn't expect it to be that good! The pesto, the chicken breast, and the gouda cheese made this sandwich (on a baguette) simply delightful! In addition to great eats, the actual establishment is very interesting and will hold your attention for quite some time (mostly because of the unique art on the wall... but especially because of the bulls (?) head that is mounted atop of the entrance and has 2 red bulbs in place of eyes. Good times, and good eats!
(5)
Lou H.

My sister knows a thing or two about where to find awesome food in Seattle ha ha! Honeyhole was a great recommendation by her. I can't believe she's never brought me here for lunch but I was in here the other day and had the Gooch and it was one of the tastiest sandwiches I have ever eaten anywhere. Kind of spicy hot and salty. The bread it came on was excellent, too. I can't wait to come back here again and possibly try some other menu items, although I'd be very tempted to have the Gooch again!
(5)
Amy G.

This isn't a different score but this time I ordered carry out instead of eating at the restaurant so I thought I'd update. I went here at 8:00 on a Friday and I ordered The Bandit and a large salad for my husband. I read on here that carry out can take a while so I ordered a Manny's while I waited. The amount of time it took me to finish my Manny's was almost perfect for the food being ready (so, probably somewhere in between 15-20 minutes). Dumbly, I didn't check the bag before I left for home with my food. I got home and realized the bag was sans salad... and I left the receipt on the bar. SIGH. So I walk back (I only live 2 blocks away) and tell them the bag didn't have the salad. The bartender was surprised, and, as it turns out she thought I meant a SIDE salad and not an entirely separate big salad. (Does this remind anybody of a famous Seinfeld episode yet?). Anyway, I explained what I wanted and she said she'd be right back. We apologized/ told each other not to worry about it back and forth several times over the confusion. She ended up not charging me at all for the extra salad which is why this is 4 stars instead of 3. Anyway, once it was cleared up the food was just as yummy as when I eat in-house.

My intern introduced me to this awesome sandwich shop in Cap Hill. When he first said Honey Hole (I thought he said Money Hole) - I must admit, I was super skeptical. 5 stars for French Dip Fridays. 5 stars for beer at lunchtime. One of the best sandwiches I've had in a LONG time. The bread is so good. Low key, casual and delicious. Clearly, I need to dig myself out of the Eastside black hole and stop by Cap Hill more often.

Traci J.

I've been hearing about HoneyHole for over 10 years and just recently made it there mid-week. It's not where I thought it was, nor did it look like I had pictured in my mind. Snagged a great parking spot a block away and was getting more excited as I approached. For some reason I thought it was going to be a super dumpy little hole in the wall. It's a nice little space with a good handful of seats up front and a tiki bar in the corner. Our server was friendly and quickly brought our beer and cider. The Waverider was tasty but could have used a couple slices of bacon - ditto the grilled chicken sandwich. Piping hot fries and a tub of ranch, what more could you ask for? A bit spendy for sandwiches, fries and beer, but I got to take home half of my sandwich for the next morning's breakfast.

Brian Z.

Delicious, crispy fries with great sides/hot sauces. A respectable beer selection, always with one well priced special. And delicious sandwiches (I especially like the Fast Eddy)! The best sandwich shop on The Hill :-)
(5)
Bobby N.

FAST EDDIE IS EFFING DELICIOUS!! Holy hell how come I didn't try this place any sooner? I've come across it several times but confused it for being a prostitution joint, a shop that sells all things freak nasty, or a strip club. I mean come on! Anything that has 'hole' in the name is usually something freaky. I'm glad my gut instinct was wrong about the honeyHOLE. The decor is nice. The window seats are my favorite especially on a sunny day. It's a pretty great place to take a date especially considering the dim lighting with wood tables and bar. To make things more snazzy they have a black curtain when they aren't making sandwiches. Perhaps the real honeyHOLE is behind those curtains or perhaps in other place (hint hint)... your stomach obviously, which is where the delicious FAST EDDIE went. That sounds awful...ly good. The FAST EDDIE was really tender and satiating! The pepperjack and onions ratio to the tri-tip was the bomb! If you've never had TRI-TIP YOU MUST TRY! The demi baguette could be substituted for sourdough bread but whatev. It's good. So put your gut instincts away and get your hole, ahem, appetite filled with honey. You will be in a state of bliss.

Piyali F.

YUM! Delicious sandwich place with good, strong drinks for a fair price. The sandwiches are huge and really perfect. It's kind of a hole in the wall, has a dive-y feel, some tables, and a cute small bar area where you can sit. Husband and I shared the fast eddie and we both were so into it. The tri tip was moist and dripping with flavor, the sauteed onions were a great add, with peppers, aioli, and melty pepper jack on a crusty baguette. I've been craving another sandwich from here ever since!

Tomato roast field? Had no idea what it was until my first time here, and it is delicious. Oh, and I love the bread. Very much.

I love The Gooch. It's like a french dip on steroids. The combo of sharp cheddar, red onions, and horseradish mayo can't be beat. The place can be packed at times, but I've never found an issue with efficiency. I gotta go there right now!

Honey Hole is "MMM" .. I've never had a bad sandwich from honey hole. I do miss all of the vegetarian and vegan options that they used to have years ago when I first became a fan, but overall they have a decent selection for vegetarians and vegans. The service here is pretty decent, I've never had a bad experience, but I can't say that I can rave about the service either, so I guess we're in the middle of the road here at A-OK. Don't come on a Friday or Saturday night and expect to get a table right away. Try a TLT and you won't be disappointed.

The darling bartender, with the tattoos abound her, was totally cool, sweet and charming... I got the Chachi because it reminded me of Happy Days. I had some drink while I waited to go and it was nice to chill at the bar... Although, I did get it since it reminded me of that TV show, Happy Days. And so, the Chachi sandwich was pretty good... But really, I mostly got it because it reminded me of good ol' Happy Days. It's no Arnold's, though.

Had to wait a while but was soo worth it. I got the dude and the steak was so juicy and tender and not fatty at all. The whole sandwich went well together. My fiancÃ© got the Texas tease and it was super good. A little spicy and sweet. Excellent BBQ sauce. My friend got the Buford and it was also good. But mine the dude was the best and all my friends and fiancÃ© agreed!

The HoneyHole has an entire "hot vegetarian sandwiches" section on their menu, so they easily won my heart. I ended up going with the Bellissimo, which is basically the best goddamned sandwich I've ever had. That may sound hyperbolic, but it's totally not. You'll see from the rest of this review that I am nothing if not a reliable narrator. See, I can quote things, like menus: smoked tomato field roast, roma tomatoes, sautÃ©ed onions, banana peppers, fresh basil, and goat cheese on a demi baguette with red pepper mayo and a splash of red wine vinegar. What the what. I had mine with a side salad and a pint---okay, three pints; Jesus, who are you, my mother?? I like IPAs, okay? And I have a stressful job! And the Pacific Northwest makes good beer. Stop judging me!!---of Elysian Immortal IPA, which I highly recommend. And I am an athlete with a nice round beer belly, so I know what I'm talking about. The music here is baller, as well. My only complaint was that they changed the music in the middle of "Suffragette City." And, not that they had any way of knowing this, because they probably wouldn't list Labyrinth or The Hunger in their top five favorite films of all time, but it just so happened to be the Thin White Duke's 65th birthday, so switching tunes---even if it was to LCD Soundsystem---was kinda lame. But, still, points for playing Bowie at all. With its excellent beer list, freaking off-the-charts sandwiches, solid service, and laid-back atmosphere, I would literally* kill for a place like this in Durham. That's in North Carolina, if you haven't heard of us. We like local food and craft beer and good weed and the great outdoors and all that other shit that you like, so we should totally hang some time. THE END. *And, by "literally," I mean "figuratively," just like everyone else who overuses this word.

AMAZING SANDWHICHES, AMAZING SERVERS, SHITTY BARTENDER!! Seriously though, how can the bartender hate his life so much when he surrounded by the most delicious sandwiches!? He was just plan rude!! Cant go wrong with any of the flank steak sammies though :)

Not sure why this place has so much hype. I've come here four or so times, and I've always been disappointed by their sandwiches. This place is usually packed, and it takes awhile to get your food. I've had the Bellissimo, Texas Tease, and Chachis Favorite, which were just okay.

Allie S.

Yummmmmmy We live just down the street from here and we finally gave it a try. WOW. We have tried the: Corleone - Classic Pastrami, sauerkraut, and yellow mustard - greasy and delicious Chachi's Favorite - Turkey and cheese Fast Eddie - Tri-trip steak and sweet hot peppers Buford T. Justice - Sweet BBQ Pork (All very hearty portions, and very delicious) We have only ordered out, so I can't speak to the service or atmosphere...but the sandwiches are tasty :)

I would love to give this place 5 stars because the food was just so delicious. If food were the only factor, definitely 5 stars. Half the things on the menu sounded so yummy that I couldn't choose. I got the Bellisimo, which was a hot vegetarian sandwich and shared half/half with my friend who got The Dude, which had steak in it. When we got there for dinner, it was packed. I loved the atmosphere inside. The dim but fancy lighting (you probably know what I'm talking about), the cool pieces of artwork hanging from the ceiling, I loved it! The wait was 20 minutes, which seemed forever because I was so dang hungry. Watching people eat their sandwiches was killing mee. The entrance to HoneyHole is a bit tight, and we felt as if we were getting in the way of a lot of people, so we moved to the back area because we saw two guys who were also standing there waiting to be seated. The hostess was a bit rude to us (hence 4 stars). It seemed perfectly fine that the guys were waiting there but told us to move to the front, in a rude manner. It would've been fine if she was nice about it, because it was busy after all. When we got seated and got our food, we asked for an extra fork to share the salad. While she was catering to other customers' needs, such as bringing them ranch for their fries etc, we ended up having to share the fork as well. It wasn't a huge deal, but I think customer service is just as important as the taste of food! WIth that being said, everything was so good. The Bellisimo was light but still good. Such an interesting combination of ingredients that went well with each other. The Dude was SO GOOD TOO. I think I like it a bit more than the Bellisimo. The steak..the honey mustard (? I don't know exactly what sauce but it tasted like honey mustard).. the veggies inside.. just too good. I do want to come back for more to try their other popular sandwiches, but I will probably come back for lunch time because it is cheaper during lunch.

Hands up if you originally thought this place was a low-end strip club or escort service! I'm pleased it's not, though, because as much as I love hookers I love sandwiches just a little more. All of these sandwiches are beautiful and unique snowflakes, and all of god's sandwich children are loved, but if I have to play favorites under pain of death I'll go with the BLT or the Waverider. Yeah, I know. BLT = boring, get it anywhere, why am I not picking the Bandit or Chachi's or something else? I don't know. I can't really explain it, but sometimes you just look at a sandwich and it feels right and there's this palpable electricity between you. The Waverider wasn't quite love at first sight, but our friendship deepened over time and well, you can't fight your feelings. Sometimes I feel the need to experiment, to try something new, but I always come back. The portions here guarantee a next-day tryst, furtively eating while backed up against the kitchen counter. Bless you, Honey, you dirty minx, 'cause a hooker would never go for a morning session on last night's money.

HoneyHole will, for the most part, destroy you with tasty sandwich. I am particularly fond of The Gooch, a tri-tip/cheddar/onion/horseradish/au jus delight that always fills me up after one half but I can't stop eating it till it's all gone. Yum. Yum x1000. In fact, my boyfriend and I have tried several things at HoneyHole, and the only total failure is their BBQ. Just don't get that. Go somewhere better for BBQ. Otherwise, have fun. Also, superior fries - crisp on the outside, soft and gooshy on the inside: they are what fries should be. Salads available for that nod towards health. The ambience is hipster. Hipsters went here to die, and then other hipsters took their bones and made hipster art with them (velvet paintings out of ashes and ketchup) and put it on the walls. And lamps - hipsters love lamps (I love lamps). So feel free to wear clothes that aren't and drink a nice beer. Full bar. Competent wait staff.

Great sandwiches! I had 'The Gooch' and it was awesome. They boast "the best fries" but I've had better. It's a small place with tall ceilings and really quirky decor. Our server was friendly. We did wait a while (longer than I expected) for our food to come, BUT it was worth the wait. I'll be back to try more items on the menu!

This place deserves an extra star after visiting again and enjoying one of their delectable vegetarian sandwiches, the Emilio Pestovez. Seriously, how cool of a name is that? ;-) Amazing tomato field roast, on top of a bed of lettuce, goat cheese, pesto, and carmelized onions. My mouth is watering as I think about the deliciousness that went on in there. Accompanied by their fries, I had soared right to heaven as I scarfed down my lunch. The place was insanely busy on a rainy Saturday afternoon, but with the music bumpin', a lucky score in finding a table, and delicious eats, I enjoyed being on cloud nine.

I visit the HoneyHole about once a week. Sometimes, twice a week. Why? Well, not only is it ridiculously close to home, but it is also mighty damn tasty. Quick service, good, small bar, and enjoyable vittles, this is why I visit often. Be warned, it can get crowded at night during happy hour, so tables can be scarce, which can also be a problem when it's cold because NO ONE wants to sit in front of the open door! The window booths are by far my favorite. :) Here are my recommendations: * Club Tasty, Club Tasty CLUB TASTY. This is my fallback always good sandwich. I've had it too many times to count. - NOTE: there is almost a secret menu at this place too. Ask for the Club Tasty - TOASTED. (I know, I just blew your mind. The toasted-ness does make a difference though!) * Thing 1 & Thing 2 Chicken sandwiches. Both are delightful, both satisfy. * THE GOOCH. HELL YES. Crusty bread and yummy meat, melted cheese and au jus. Salty and good and hits my meat spot (Don't make it weird...) * The HH Burger, a good solid burger made better by the killer bread. If you are a soft bun fan, this won't be your thang. Just a warning. * The cheesy garlic bread. Have I mentioned I like the bread here? IT'S GOOD. EAT IT. Very garlicky, so make your date it too so you can make out later and not be like whoa, HH garlic bread, huh? * I dig on the fries. They are usually REALLY crispy, which is JUST HOW I LIKE 'EM. If you are soggy fry fan, you won't like these. *The salads are pretty good too - plenty of crisp, super dark greens not a LAME-ASS ICEBERG SALAD, thank god. I have had their vinegrette, which is pretty tasty. * Imbibe one of the cocktails on the front of the menu, I enjoy their whiskey sour and the moscow mule. A happy hour pint is always welcome too. NO DESSERT, KIDS. That's a warning, so if you wanted cookies, can't get it here. If you attend the HoneyHole on a regular basis, I am bound to be at one of the tables, knitting or playing a game on my phone. See ya there!

I stop back in here as often as is convenient (which is not very often). They have a great selection of vegetarian sandwiches, which can easily be modified to be vegan. Also, their fries are particularly amazing.

Warning, do not go to Honeyhole.com Seriously. Well, ok, do it, but only because it's funny. Aside from the awkward name, the sandwiches are the god damn man here. All of them, no seriously, I have ate for the cycle here and not once have I been displeased.

The Honeyhole is an interesting place with good food. The atmosphere is moody and the decor walks the line between intriguing and odd. The tiki-ish bar definitely stands out and somehow the curtain that separates the kitchen from the dining area seems fitting. The sandwiches are delicious with the bread being imported somewhere from heaven. They have a good selection of meaty and vegetarian sandwiches, and I definitely think they are among the best I've had. You also get a good helping of large crispy fries. They have cheap beer if you're on a budget but a full bar if you're not. The service was slow (but not unfriendly) but if you're out enjoying your night on a weekend it just gives you more time to soak up the atmosphere. It is a pretty busy place and so getting seated can be difficult at times. This is a great place to go with friends, maybe a good way to introduce someone from out of town to the capitol/first hill area. The prices are pretty good, one person could probably have an okay dinner with a couple drinks for $15-20.

My wife and I had a preggy class that lasted until lunch time this past weekend. Needless to say after a couple of hours of baby talk (and getting anxiously nervous and excited) we were starving. So I decided to go to the HoneyHole. I had heard about the place a couple years back from my Walgreen's coworkers who ate their religiously, and every time my wife would drag me to the kitting shop (sticks?) I'd smell it and drool. So finally we went in. The decor was cute and a little goofy, but I wasn't there for Monty Python posters and paper mache piranhas. I wanted a wich! So my wife got the beef barbecue sandwich (forget the clever nomenclature) and I got the Buford T. Justice (coincidentally that is my super hero name) which is sweet pineapple barbecue with jerked pork, two sodas and fries. The sodas were... well... soda. The fries looked like horrible quality over fried high school french fries but they were great. Not too potato-ey and not too salty. They probably would have been meh on their own, but they complemented the sandwiches perfectly. I loved my sandwich. I got the whole size and nearly fainted when it came out. I was destined for a doggy bag, but first things first. The bbq pork was perfectly sweet. I liked it so much my wife's plain bbq tasted too plain. So I had my half and bagged up the other half for dinner. Come dinner time I ate the other half and enjoyed it too. It lasted really well in the fridge, so order big and take the rest home. For three meals $17 isn't too bad. One of those future times I get dragged to the knitting store we might just have to stop by again.

Honey... I miss you ! I finally got to come back to HH when I picked up a large order for our team. This time I decided to get a little crazy and get something vegetarian, cool! I got the field roast sandwich with goat cheese. My my my. What a delight. I have to say, the field-roast was a tad bit "earthy" tasting to me, but that's not HH's fault - no sweat. The sandwich was brilliant. The combination of roasted veggies and a strong cheese all greased up is great. I missed my usual bandit, but I was very happy with my new selection. The vultures (the team) loved their orders too. We had a nice silent bus.

One of the best places to get an awesome sandwich in Seattle! The bread is crusty, fresh, and simply carb-tastic! The fixins are top rate and the flavor simply divine! I have tried a ton of their different sandwiches and have yet to be disappointed. Simply figure out what you are in the mood for and they are bound to have a sandwich that will not only fill you up but satisfy your taste buds! Skip the potato salad (its ok) and unless you are in the mood for fries skip it as well...Focus on the sandwich cause I can guarantee you will get your fill! Definitely an eclectic place to check out. Oh! Great place to impress out of towners!

I was interested in eating here because it got so many positive reviews and I always giggled to myself whenever I walked past the place. My boyfriend and I walked there and when we got there the place seemed packed. There was another couple waiting in line while the woman at the bar was talking to another customer. We eventually found out that we could just take a seat when one becomes available. I ordered the Bellissimo with vegan mayo (bonus: they offered vegan red pepper mayo!) and the cheese on the side with fries. The sandwich was delicious. I got what looked like 1Tb.sp. and 1/2 of goat cheese. Their fries were very tasty too. The Bellissimo is worth ordering again. Interesting decor (Christmas lights,a small skeleton, and giant fish).

The only reason why I'm giving this 3-stars right now, is because of the asshole of a cashier. The reason why I say such a rude comment is b/c I'm the type of a person who gives others the benefit of the doubt, but the cashier (dude w/ the dreads) was such a jerk-off. My 2 gf's & I went in for lunch, and as we were asking POLITELY & SINCERELY, the cashier was a DOUSCHE for NO reason whatsoever. Even when I went up again to place an order for fries, he literally threw the change into my hand with such attitude. I swear on my grandma's grave I'm not the type to be those 'asshole customers' but I'm definitely talking to the manager next time. What kind of service is that? I understand ppl have bad days, but COME ON if ppl are being truly sincere & genuinely nice towards you, return the f@*#ING favor! Gawwww. Anyways, the sandwich I had was super delicious. I'm spaced out with the name, but it's the 4th sandwich on the menu... mmmmm it so tasty & the vibe of the restaurant was feel-good, and chill (minus the d-bag at the register). Great food, but my FIRST time experience there wasn't so great. Maybe next time.

The t.j buford justice sandwich is amazing, as are the fries. Super large sandwich, however, so it's hard to eat it all in one sitting and it's a little messy!

Sandwiches by day, drinks at night! The sammiches, yes sammiches, are tasty and have funky names. Nutty, but it works. This is a great destination for lunch. It's always consistent and the food is always tasty. I think it's priced higher than your average sandwich, but the extra dollar or two is worth the visit. This ain't no subway, so expect a unique sandwich with plenty of life and pizazz..

Anton Z.

Finally a sandwich place I can partake of when that craving hits!! Went because a colleague had suggested, and was blown away with the tastiness. I had the bellisimo, which had field roast, basil, real goat cheese, and some tasty red pepper mayo. The bread was crusty but soft, and the flavors were bold and interesting. My partner had the special with tri tip and horseradish mayo, and that was also brilliant. Just enough horseradish to keep it interesting, and the meat was tender and juicy. We had a side of fries too, which were crispy and fluffy all at the same time. Overall, great sandwich and great atmosphere...I'll for sure be back.

Burt S.

FAST EDDIE! wow. every time i go back i keep ordering the same sandwich. i need to try their other ones because they all look so amazing, every time i'm there i'm eating my sandwich while looking at everyone else's. but it's SO GOOD! Great taste, great service, great value and great name! I love me some HONEY HOLE!!! oh yeah, and they have a full bar. in a tiki hut. yup. just sayin'.
(5)
Millie F.

I don't really consider myself a sandwich person, so even though my friend kept raving about this place, I didn't have very high expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised, and that's always a nice feeling. I went for lunch, and ordered the Fast Eddie. Mmmm...delicious! The tri-tip was very juicy and flavorful, and went nicely together with the melted pepper jack cheese, red peppers and onions. I also loved the baguette, which was very nicely toasted. The portions were very generous, so I was seriously stuffed after my sandwich alone (good thing I didn't order fries). Definitely considering coming back for more hot sandwiches. The Gooch, the Bandit and Buford T. Justice, I'm looking at you guys!

Okay, who the hell named this place? Because when you first get asked "Hey man you want a Honeyhole sandwich, it's delicious"...you have no idea if that person is being serious or asking for a knuckle sandwich. Anyway I finally dropped in at Honeyhole last weekend while some friends were in town. We all ordered hot sandwiches, I remember ordering the beef brisket and pulled pork. In general I'm not a fan of barbecue sauce, but the sandwiches were quite tasty. So was everyone else's sandwiches....especially the french dip. In all honesty, I think I still like Salumi and Paseo sandwiches better. BUT the sandwiches at Honeyhole are still delicious and filling, there is no line, the bread is better than Salumi, available seating that isn't plastic lawn chairs or a very cramped communal table, they take credit/debit cards, unlimited soda refills, and what's this....FRENCH FRIES?!? YAY!!! I think we have a winner. Honeyhole kick ass, I will definitely be back....very soon. ~G p.s. I will NEVER stop laughing anytime anyone says the words "Honey Hole" Heeheeheehee. Oh and their big fish eating little fish hanging on the ceiling is hilarious...I just look up at the little fish and imagine it screaming "Noo!!!!!!!!"

Love this place! Chachi's Favorite is my standard favorite. Good fries, fresh ingredients and reasonable prices make The HoneyHole a safe bet! It's pretty small in terms of the seating area so it can get crowded fast. Sometimes I have to take it to go and eat on the fly. Definitely not a place to go if you like a quiet atmosphere, it's always pretty noisy. Not sure what else to say. If you're looking for a tasty sandwich that will elevate your cholesterol and fill you up fast...this is the place to go.

I've had a couple of friends try to get me here for a while now, always extolling the virtues of Honeyhole's excellent fries and while their fries are very good, it's the sandwiches that were and remain the big draw for me. I really like the Fast Eddie; tri-tip steak, pepperjack, grilled onions and mama's lil' peppers on a baguette. It's excellent, the meat, the bread - everything. Despite it's laid back vibe, the service is quite excellent and very attentive. a great place for some late-night cheap eats.

HOLY SHAT. I had a super duper fabulous vegetarian sandwich (the "el guapo") here about a month ago and forgot to talk about it. It was...frakkin' awesome - lots of veggies, topped w/ melted cheese...ahhh, my fave. Also, the fact that they have a sandwich called the "gooch" (which I won't eat, I just like to say it) is reason enough for me to keep coming back. AND they pour a strong cocktail. GOOCH AND VODKA. Who knew?

Sarah S.

Weep, my friends, for we have lost something magnificent. The HoneyHole's BLT used to be a bacongasm, the most delicious sandwich conceivable on this plane of existence or any other. I've never bothered to order anything else at the HoneyHole, because nothing else could possibly top their BuiLT To Satisfy's majesty. Those days are gone, my friend. The place has a new (more expensive) menu, and though there's still a BLT and it's still called the "BuiLT To Satisfy," make no mistake: it is a different beast all together. Don't get me wrong: the new BLT is tasty. Ciabatta roll replaced grilled sourdough, and a zesty aioli replaced boring old mayo. But the bacon? Merely acceptable. It was not BAD bacon, but bacon is like sex: when it's good, it's REALLY good. When it's bad, it's still pretty good. But this bacon just doesn't approach groin-grabbing transcendence of what they had previously, and I will weep for what I have lost. Though the ingredients (bacon aside) are technically better, the result is merely a sum of its parts, whereas the old sandwich took on some sort of magical properties of deliciousness when combined. Goodbye, HoneyHole. I will pine for you no more.

A good sandwich is hard to find, especially in downtown Seattle. A good sandwich is also worth traveling for, providing your idea of traveling is walking a few extra minutes at lunch time. Regardless of how you get there, Honeyhole serves good food at a solid price. Might I suggest the Corleone? My only complaint: bring back the Beachcomber!
(4)
Ashley G.

I'm definitely a Honey Hole regular. I've taken all of my friends there. The scenery is very eclectic. You really cannot mess up with the food at Honey Hole. You can eat the sandwich hot or cold, the fries are awesome, their salads are fresh, and the music is always fun. My favorite sandwiches there are: Texas Tease, Gooch, and Bandit.

I had the worst service of my life in this restaurant. It was actually kind of shocking, because there's a big difference between just being sloppy or forgetful, and being negligent and inconsiderate. The only other time I've had service like this was when I was at Ed Debevic's, a restaurant where waiters are deliberately rude as a gimmick. Our server ignored us for a good twenty minutes until we actually flagged him down, at which point he languidly took our orders and we crossed our fingers under the table in hopes that he would manage to relay them to the kitchen. I assume they employ good waiters as well, but even having one like ours means that some people are going to have a bad experience. We did get our food and although it was fine, it wasn't great and certainly not memorable enough to counteract the bad taste left in our mouths by the inanimate object who called himself our waiter. The atmosphere is awesome and I would be willing to try it again if I knew someone else would be taking care of us. However, dangling a bunch of crap on the walls doesn't make up for appalling service.

Anthony L.

I've been here about 3 times, and every time I am amazed how delicious the sandwich is. I get the Club sandwich without cheese or ham, and fries. First of all, the fries are the best I've ever had. I don't know how they do it, but they are golden brown and perfectly crispy EVERY TIME, and just overall amazing. The sandwiches are big. I can hardly even finish them, but I always do, because I can't get enough of the flavour. This is definitely in the top 5 best sandwiches I've ever had.
(5)
Rose M.

These sandwiches are what other sandwiches strive to be. My mouth is watering as I type... It's something about the bread they use, the pile of meats, and melty cheese that just makes me excited about eating this sandwich. I usually order the Chachi's with no tomatoes and add bacon. It's really just a turkey sandwich, but it's SO much more than that...I can't describe it. You just have to try it. Their prices have gone up over the last couple years and you now have to order fries separately from the sandwich. The Bay Area needs a good sandwich place like HoneyHole...

sara g.

HoneyHole is dead to me. New menu means no Luke Duke leaving me without a single good meatball sub in this city. I went in today and noticed a change. Only one full table. Usually the place is packed on Saturday for lunch. I walked to the counter, looked up at the big ole new menu and was shocked, disappointed and angered that MY sandwich had been removed from the new and unimproved menu. I asked the guy working at the counter if they still had it. He replied, "No." I said nothing. I quickly turned on my heel and walked out. No STOMPED out. Full on 13 yo temper tantrum style. I heard counter guy call out to me, "no, no, no, no you have to try a different sandwich." Sorry counter guy. Sorry HoneyHole. You've lost me. Unless you bring back MY sandwich. I suggest you bring back a few others cuz you looked a little sad and empty in there.

Andre B.

HoneyHole recently underwent a menu revision, for the worse. My girlfriends favorite sandwhich was eliminated and they traded out breads. Also, is it my imagination or do thier fries get saltier every time I go there... It was such a great spot years ago. They did recently include Field Roast in some of thier sandwiches but it was somewhat negated by the crazy amount of sauce they put on.

I cannot believe that I have lived in Seattle for years and never tried this place. Oh, I've walked past it plenty of times and drooled over the BBQ-laden oxygen that they pump outta that place. But sadly -- mistakenly -- I thought that they must only serve meaty BBQ goodness, because anything that smells that good..... (case in point: Ezell's) So each time, my vegetarian heart would have a little nostalgic moment for a favorite meal that I would never have again -- a hot, juicy, BBQ sandwich -- and I continued to avoid making eye contact with Honeyhole. Until last week, when my vegan coworker suggested we go there for lunch, and changed my life in a miraculous and delicious way. That afternoon I learned that Honeyhole not only has a VEGETARIAN BBQ SANDWICH (with fake chicken), but they have MULTIPLE vegetarian/vegan sandwiches!! And the ones I tried (mine + my friend's) scored Perfect 10s on the Gastronomic Orgasmatron Scale, something I employ just for writing Yelp restaurant reviews. Also, the french fries were perfect. And there's root beer. And real beer. And a Belize flag placard proudly displayed over the taps (extra extra extra brownie points.) Thank you Honeyhole, for not leaving us vegheads out in the BBQ-less cold. And thank you Spike, for clueing me in to the glory. I love you both eternally.

Came here with a friend a few days ago. I tried the gooch and my friend got the dude. We both agreed that there was WAY too much horseradish mayo on the sandwiches. The service was quick and friendly but the food was difficult to eat. We both ended up trying to wipe off as much of the mayo as we could with a fork and napkin. My friend loves horseradish, but she said it was just way to strong to enjoy. If I came back, I would ask for no mayo.

I've never written a review for Yelp, but I feel compelled to after eating at the HoneyHole. I tried two sandwiches there and they both were in the Top 5 sandwiches I've ever had in my entire life. We came across it by fluke and we were so glad we did. We were only in town for the weekend (my sister's wedding), but we spent the whole weekend telling everyone we met about this place. Next time I'm in Seattle I will definitely go back.

What's there to say about this place that hasn't already been said? Great selection of sandwiches, awesome selection of beers, and an overall hipster vibe that is still very inviting regardless of when the last time you listened to The Nationals was. I've seen other people complain about their menu and how their sandwiches only comes on a baguette now. Well as far as I'm concerned, the baguette is delicious and has worked on every sandwich I've tried so far perfectly (The Dude, The Gooch, and Fast Eddie). Bottom line: If you're hungry and wouldn't mind a beer to compliment your meal, look no further than Honeyhole to satiate your needs.

Literally THE best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. The tiki bar ambience and hip servers make HoneyHole a unique experience of artery clogging deliciousness.

I've eaten here twice now, and had the same burger each time - the HH Burger. Best burger in Seattle!!! I would go back just for that.

The reason this place is so good, besides recipes, ingredients and quality, is that THEY DON'T SKIMP ON QUANITITY! You get what you pay for, they do not cheat their customers. The sandwiches are huge, even their vegetarian sandwiches fill me up. It's best to go for dinner instead of lunch because you pay the same price and get fries or a salad! Their fries are awesome too!

How have I not rated thee my favorite restaurant with a mildly suggestive name? You were my go to place for deliciousness all through college and I visit you often, and yet, I seem to have overlooked proclaiming my love for you to the world. Your golden fries come perfectly crisp throughout. I especially enjoy eating the little extra crispy ones on the bottom of the plate, and don't mind dabbing up the crumbs and eating them on my sandwich. Their only improvement comes in the form of the delicious ranch sauce but why must ranch cost extra (.25)? Despite your Cap. Hill hipster style service, your sandwiches are worth it. From the gooch to the meatless options, they are uniformly fresh, toasty, and delicious. Even my vegetarian friends can get down with you HoneyHole. Whenever I'm on Pike, your smell draws me in, and now, hopefully my fellow Yelp'ers can enjoy you too.

Maybe it's not fair to review a place after one visit... but oh well. Here we go :) Service - Rather slow, and it wasn't very busy when I went. If I was starving I probably would have been upset, but I was a little buzzed when I got there and I was with a group of 5 girlfriends to keep me distracted... So HoneyHole receives a "get out of jail free" card for this one. Also, our waiter was a charm. Instead of simply ordering a "Texas Tease" I (jokingly) asked him if he would mind teasing me, Texas style. He totally played along. Nice man. Food - Again, hard to give a fair rating when I've only been here once --- but DEAR GOODNESS the Texas Tease was AMAZING. I'm not sure if I could manage to go there and order anything else. When you're in love, you're in love. The fries were okay, I've had better elsewhere. But they were tasty, and the sandwich itself made up for it. Drinks - I had a couple of their whiskey sours because it was the special for the day. Delicious, but not stiff at all. This place is a little out of my way but I hope to venture out again sometime soon. If necessary I'll update my review :)

This place is so flipping good. I had the Fast Eddie which was DEFINITELY the best of the 3 sandwiches my friends and I had. The melted pepper jack and the sweet hot peppers on the sandwich are just AMAZING. This sandwich was recommended by the cashier and I am happy I listened. The french fries are killer - whatever seasoning is on them is so yummy. My friend got the Texas Tease, and my other got the Bandit. They were alright. Not great, but tasty. Both of my friends tried mine though and were just dying over it (SO GOOD). Great vibe at this place - really nice workers. All in all great place. Will definitely go back.

I give this place 3 stars but I would give it 3.5 because they played Duran Duran while I had lunch. I ordered the hug Chicken Burger that was decent but I wouldn't say it was out of the world. This is where the urban hipster go for a meal and a beer. I plan on coming back again and trying some other things off the menu.

Keila H.

Wow this place blew my mind a little. It was our first time in and wondered about the reviews about the menu changing recently. Went for the Corleon which is pastrami and the small flank steak salad. We split both which was perfect. First bite of that sandwich wowsers. Fresh home made baguette which was soft and crust. The pastrami wad perfection. I am usually not a huge pastrami fan due to the shear fattiness of it ( not sure why I had a hankering if I never order this) but I am so glad I ordered this. It was so tender and lean and more like why you would expect of corned beef. Delicious. The salad was good as well. A plate full of greens with blue cheese crumbles and skirt steak. The steak is a rough chop not sliced like you would assume but still good. I would come back here in a flash cause in my opinion it was the best pastrami I have ever had!!!! Oh and a bonus - great beers on tap.

Here is the genius that is the O Danny Boy: you put the thousand island dressing on the bread *before* you toast it so that it kinda cooks in and doesn't become a big sloppy mucky-muck of a sandwich. Then you have your turkey and bacon and tomatoes, everything toasted together, piping hot. Comes with a pickle spear too. It's the Wednesday special, but I wish they had it everyday :) Make sure you go early, especially if you are constrained by the 60 minute lunch break, otherwise you won't get back in time!

My Husband and I were walking around Seattle this past weekend and came across HoneyHole - We had a great experience. The service was perfect, and if possible the food was even better! We had "The Gooch" (tri-tip, cheddar, and horseradish mayo) - Could have used a tab more horseradish but that is personal preference. The "Fast Eddie" was also very good. - Ordering fires was a great IDEA! They are well done ( just how I like them) and there is plenty to share. When we head to Seattle again, Honey Hole is a planned stop!

The honey hole is one of my favorite sandwich shops. It is always a treat to visit since I'm not able to get up the hill as much.

One of the first places I visited in Seattle. Um... I think Smarty Pants in Georgetown has better food and isn't as difficult to get a seat in. But, it's super veggie-friendly, so it's worth a try. Just... don't try the Juke.

Brooke S.

Are you a patient person? Then maybe Honeyhole is for you! Solid. Good. Sandwich. But my mind was not blown. Perhaps a trip during off-hours would remedy that? Definitely not the sandwich mecca that I was expecting. But a safe bet, nonetheless. I will say: funky cool interior and everything was well priced.

Seth W.

HoneyHole is one of my favorites in Seattle. I always get the Big Smooth, I can't resist the yummy tempeh and french fries. The onion rings are really good and greasy and last time I was in there they gave me so many I could only finish half of the order {and spent the next 3 days working out). It's always clean, they play good music, and the servers are nearly friendly (and for Capitol Hill that is saying plenty). Just arrive early because it's usually packed.

I just got "the gooch" for pickup while watching the nba finals. This sandwich is probably the best sandwich I ever had. I'm a huge food critic and super picky. This sandwich was the perfect blend of taste. It wasn't to saucy and wasn't overwhelming. Perfect amount of spice and flavored! Highly recommended ... Now back to the game! Go cavs

MMHMM is the lasting impression eating here left on my mind. Stopped by for lunch after visiting the Starbucks Reserve Roastery down the street on a weekday. Didn't have trouble grabbing a table in this small, funky dive. Ordered the Fast Eddie and boy was it good. Split it with my cousin but could have easily eaten a whole one. This was a generously filled sandwich grilled to perfection. I savored every bite as best as I could. I will definitely be back!
(5)
Kelly G.

Great sandwiches! The bread looks like a baguette but its much softer (for those with a sensitive mouth roof like me). Had the waverider sandwich and the dude sandwich. The waverider was a little lighter since it was turkey based, but the steak in the Dude sandwich was TENDER. Fries were great as well. Service decent. Takes card.
(4)
Quinlin H.

Absolutely one of best freaking sandwiches my family ever had! My wife and son had the Gooch and I had the Fast Eddie. We all loved them. My son and I like ours plain just meat and cheese and the order was spot on and service by 2 waitresses was amazing. My daughter had a burger she liked as well. Cool vibe and atmosphere, very bustling exciting area. Must try!
(5)
Krystina H.

Was in Seattle for almost a week and this is the most memorable, non uppety meal we've had. INSANE sandwiches and solid local craft beer selection. Get The GOOCH sandwich and don't be afraid to take advantage of that Au Jus (i wanted to bathe in it, so other-worldly )
(5)
Serena W.

Great sandwich! Had the fast Eddie based on fellow yelpers, and it was the best decision. The bread was slightly crunchy in some spots but soft enough to bite down and not hurt myself. The beef was delicious and everything else in there just blended in so well. Really loved the fries that came with too. I think I'm craving for a third visit again. Service is really friendly! They conveniently give you a small box for the half of sandwich that you will not be able to finish. Must try!

"Oooooooooh yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." Ferris Bueller song voice. I really love this place and soo am going back when we are in town again! Sando heaven. There are many veggie options that can be altered to vegan. The server guys are super nice and they play awesome music from Biggie to Nirvana. Fresh juice drinks are yummy. Veggie BLT and the Field Roast sandwiches rock!!!!!!
(4)
Marisa C.

Service was alright, took awhile for us to order drinks and food. Noticed that other people come into the establishment later than us that were attended to before friends and I were even approached. I personally ordered The Bandit, it was very good IMO. The demi baguette it came with was crunchy but soft enough to take a bit out of, it did get a bit messy. One of my friends ordered the Fast Eddie, that one was good as well. I will definitely be back to try the other hot sandwiches that they have!

Jenny J.

We went on a Monday night. There was one table left by the door. We were gestured from afar that we may sit there. I wanted to order the Monday Special but got rejected because they ran out. I asked the server for a recommendation and she said everything is good with a long pause and then an awkward silence. I ordered the first thing on the menu with fries and my friend ordered The Dude with cole slaw. The first thing on the menu was Buford T. Justice and it tasted like a Kaula Pig slider on a baguette. The Dude with steak and some unidentifiable greens was yummier. The side of cole slaw had a funky aftertaste though. I would recommended getting a salad as a side because neither the cole slaw nor the fries were a hit. The reason for the 3-star is that there were three servers and a bartender on the floor. This was not a large establishment; the kitchen was not far. I asked one of the servers for hot sauce but she was soon distracted by a group of friends at another table. I asked another server and she somehow forgot too. I waited. She was reminded when an older gentlemen asked for a sauce at a different table and she returned shortly with it to have her eyes meet mine. She turned around swiftly and brought me a whole bottle of Sriracha. All three servers were not to be seen for the rest of dinner at our table. Be prepared to be rubbed raw by the demi baguette and brushed cool by the nonchalant servers. Good food, okay service.

Red lights makes it super cult-like at night but the vibe was cool and laid back. Went in with 3 friends on a Tuesday night around 8:30 and it was surprisingly packed. We didn't want to wait for a table so we took the last open seats at the bar. Every server had the black rimmed hipster glasses thing going on which we thought was humorous but definitely friendly and accommodating. I had the vegan BLT, not too shabby but nothing to write home about. The fries though...are sensational! Also had the drink special - some citrus vodka drink with grapefruit and orange, actually tasted like fresh juice so I'm down. I'd go back again!

Oh...HoneyHole. I don't often like to eat sandwiches, but when I do, this is the kind of place I dream of. Wait until after you eat your sandwich to complain about the prices. Then, tuck that little bit of criticism away 'cause you won't need it anymore. You'll come to realize (after your first bite) that the price is a steal. Warm bread that's crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Decent portions of well-seasoned meat. Toppings like pesto, caramelized onions, hot mustard and more! I have a hard time eating a whole sandwich and am more apt to share one or take the other half to go. Everyone I know seems to have a "go to" sandwich. I don't. I gravitate to anything that strikes my fancy. Most recently, it was The Dude. Grilled flank steak, provolone, onions, tomato relish, sweet hot mustard, and mayo on a demi baguette. The flank steak was cut to the perfect size, cheese melted perfectly, and all the other ingredients, together in one bite was heavenly. Some of my friends really like the fries. I'm not a big fry person so I couldn't say one way or another if they're super good but they do the trick. Service is friendly - I know I'm a pain in the ass as I sit there and hum and ha over what I want to order. I love the space - the lighting, table arrangement, bar layout, etc. I find it a cozy, cool place to hang while grabbing a sammy and pounding a drink.

I've never had a bad sandwich here. The food they make is so good that I can't even begin to rave about it. Recommendations: the Wave-rider and the BLT. Also, the gluten free baguette is killer!
(5)
Brittany G.

Go to every time we are in Seattle. We even travel to Seattle (25min) for their sandwiches and fries. Texas tease is my favorite. The Gooch. Waverider. All amazing. Plus their French fries are like crack. I could eat an order to myself and want more. Will continue coming here even tho parking is horrid and it's always busy.

So let's just get this right out of the way... I don't really like sandwiches. I know, I know... I'm weird. But, with that said, I loved my sandwich at Honeyhole! I was torn between a few options here but decided on The Gooch and it was awesome. The meat was cooked properly and I found the balance of extras, like cheese and onions, to be perfect. The bread was just a little crunchy on the outside but soft and delicious on the inside. I ate my entire sandwich and fries in minutes... and thought about trying a different sandwich. Their fries are more of a medium cut but they were great. I asked for a side of their pineapple BBQ sauce and was told it was only for the sandwich it comes on but their regular BBQ sauce was really great for fry dipping. While dining here I made a comment about how I wasn't sure exactly what I was expecting in regards to the restaurant itself and the ambiance there but that what those things entail is not what I'd envisioned in the little theater in my head. This isn't a bad thing it just is. I actually did like how cozy the joint feels and of course I felt safe since they have a giant piranha hanging from their ceiling. Craptastic parking aside (come on, when is parking in this area ever not an issue) I foresee a lot of visits to Honeyhole in my future. I'm sorry it took me so long to try... for that I blame you. I'm a huge fan!

Gooch (dip) good, Buford T. Justice (bbq pork) good. The service is a bit slow. The price is reasonable by Capitol Hill standards, but it still pains me to pay $13 after tax for a sandwich and a soda.
(4)
Michelle H.

Went here on a Saturday night around 10PM and got seated right away in the bar area. I wasn't too hungry since we've been eating all day so we decided to share The Gooch sandwich along with a cup of clam chowder. I also got a glass of the Fremont IPA which was very refreshing. It was very nice of them to bring our order out on two separate plates since we were sharing. The sandwich was delicious! I dipped it in the au jus sauce and it paired perfectly with my beer!
(4)
Dave G.

If this review was based on the food alone, I would give 5 stars. However they lose two for the service which is slow, and some of the staff can at times be downright rude. It always baffles me why people in the service industry would behave like this. If you don't like interacting with people and you don't enjoy providing good customer service, it's probably not the career path for you. Aside from that though the Sandwiches are amazing. Definitely no disputing that, worth a visit for the menu alone.

MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMM GUUUUUD! This place is the ideal whole in the wall on capital hill! Its super small but super yummy! The make some of the best hot sammies that I have ever had! let me start by how cute this place is. Located on Pike street, yet away from the bar scene this is the perfect place to go if you wanna have some good eats sans the crowds. Next, the food selection is out of this world. It doesn't have that typical "bar food" taste. Its very unique!! What's also cool about this place is they have a small bar too! nothing too fancy but it works. Staff there is very friendly and very helpful I was with a large group and we didn't have to ask for water. They were on top of it! very impressed. I will be going back for sure, especially when I need a break from the hustle and bustle of the bar crowds down the street.

Christine L.

I went here with my boyfriend during our vacation to Seattle. It's down the street from a bunch of bars and lounges so we decided to have a late dinner before drinking. We each ordered a drink and a sandwich. They make a mean mojito. It's so tasty, I would probably get in trouble after a couple of them. I really enjoyed my sandwich (Chachi). My boyfriend didn't love his, but said it was still good. I like how the restaurant ambiance was but I really disliked how dim it was. There's a red glow throughout the place that doesn't sit well with me. Other than that, I would come back for drinks for sure.

Lauren H.

THIS PLACE IS SOO GOOD! We came here around noon on a Saturday and it was packed. We had to wait for someone to get up to quickly grab a seat. I ordered the Veggie BLT and it was so good! You wouldn't have guessed it wasn't real meat. We also had The Gooch with a side of fries. It was so savory! It would be a good fit for a hungry meat eater! We also had a side of fries. If you're nearby Capitol Hill in Seattle, I would recommend coming here

Umika K.

Oh my GOSH. I'm a vegetarian and these are ACTUALLY the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. I'm a small eater generally but I ate the whole thing because I liked it THAT MUCH. Love love love! Had the Bellisimo and my friends had the Dude and the Fast Eddie. They liked the sandwiches too - said the Dude had better flavored meat. Great decor and friendly staff. But don't expect anything under $9. Not cheap, but definitely affordable.

My LORD! The 27 years I've lived in Seattle and how did I not ever come inside this place? All i knew were that they made sandwiches and they were delicious. You'd think that'd be enough for me to step inside. I finally got to try it out! Is was so delicious. I got a waverider hot sandwich and it was everything I needed. You know how some sandwich places make their sandwiches really think and unmanageable to eat. This sandwich was the perfect size for me to bite into. It had turkey breast on it, a perfect layer of pesto spread, and my favorite cheese... gouda!! They toasted the sandwich and I ate every single bite The restaurant's decor is eclectic. I wasn't sure what the theme was, but that didn't matter. Definitely try this joint out!

Josh T.

Honey Hole is one of my go to lunch places on the hill. Great hot or cold sandwiches and some good salads as well. Lots of vegetarian options and even gluten free baguettes if that's your thing. Good beer selection and a pretty decent bar to be hanging out at for the evening!

The small eatery has a very casual appearance that may put some folk off, but trust me the food is very good. A bit cramped for space, but then that is part of the charm. An unusual collection of hot and cold sandwiches served on excellent breads, very good salad and fries too. Really enjoyed the afternoon meal here.

Janie S.

The Buford T. Justice is the bomb.com ! This sandwhich is to die for. The perfect bbq taste and pulled pork! I am a try Texas girl with a soft spot for bbq. This sandwhich took me back home! The French bread is just baked perfect and toasted just right for the sandwhich. The ambiance of this place is true to The Hill. Strangely decorated art work on the walls and ceilings. The staff was kind and helpful. It was a sweet little spot to grab a bite to eat. There is also a small bar with a decent selection of local and regional beers. Whatever you get here you will not be disappointed.

Stanlo S.

Really tasty sandwiches, good service, chill place to hang out. It's always kinda dimly lit inside even on a bright sunny day. Full of delightfully cheesey decorations. Dunno if I have a favorite sandwich but the garlic cheese bread is amazing. It's really garlicy and has a nice bite from it. The vegetarian selection is quite nice too, especially the veg BLT. A cool tip is to sit at the bar and stare at David Bowie's crotch.

Amazingly delicious sandwiches! The hot ones are so tasty. They don't come with fries so make sure you order those too if you want some. If you come with friends, grab a table while you wait because it can get pretty busy here. :)

I've been here twice now and both times my sandwiches were delicious. The most recent visit I had the Corleone with fries and coleslaw. I came during the day which means that you order at the counter and have the food delivered to the table. Kind of cool for the lunch rush so they dont have to worry abiut waiting on tables when they're busy. I will definitely be back again!

Staci S.

The sandwiches here are amazing, but on a busy night, you're better off getting take-out. They're always understaffed - even on weekends they usually only have 2 servers. Even though it's a small place, they're always slammed at dinnertime. You'll probably have to wait, and wait....and wait. Even after you've been seated, you'll wait some more. Even with the wait, it's worth it. Never had something there that wasn't fantastic, and you'll never leave there hungry.

Mark W.

Pretty tardy with my review (by almost 3 months) but the sandwiches were AWESOME. Got a chance to try 4 or 5 different sandwiches since a group of us went in and they all were great. My favorites were anything with tri-tip (and I'm picky about tri-tip). Solid beer deals and a decent selection too!
(5)
Silvio S.

I went here to grab a quick bite while I was waiting to check in to my airbnb and I am so glad I stumbled upon it. Get The Gooch. It is amazing and comes with an au jus dip that is heavenly. I usually make it point to go here every time I visit Seattle now. It's great oh and at night it turns in to a bar like environment but you can still order the food. WIN WIN

Nate S.

Super rad dive bar sandwich spot. Full bar and a really sweet hit and cold sandwich selection. Sometimes I come in just to check out the art work rotation. Very chill n funky spot. Love the staff n usually I'll order a veggie sandwich with pastrami or bacon added to it. Gets lots of raised eye brows but it's the best combo of veggies n meat in my opinion. :-)

Ren G.

Terrible name; awesome sandwiches. ( Am I the only one who saw that title and kind of thought "that could really be construed the wrong way in the age of weird internet porn" ? ) That said, Hello exceptionally filling vegetarian sandwich. Oh, you come slathered in cheese and creamy ranch? And I can get a cocktail made with gin and cucumber to complement your uniquely veggie awesomeness? Yea, I'm sold. Although I've only been here once, I would definitely try it again. The cocktail was extraordinary, the sandwich was not half bad, the fries were golden brown, and the service was quick. I think my favorite part was actually the bread they served the sandwich on--toasty perfection to complement the melty middle. Definitely worth a go and perfect for those times when you're out with your non-vegetarian friends. This place has all the bases covered.

Reza A.

Let me tell you right off the bat, if you are out with a big group of friends and wanna spend the next 3-4 hours eating, drinking and having a fun time, this is not the place you are looking for. The place is pretty small, and you usually have to wait at least a few minutes to get even a table for two. We once went with a group of eight and it took forever to get tables, and they ended up being in different corners of the restaurant anyways. However, if you are with your significant other or a couple friends and are looking for an intimate yet lively setting where you can share a bunch of amazing food, then this is *EXACTLY* what you are looking for. The place is a bit on the dark side, but because the tables and bar are all kinda cramped together it still has a very lively vibe to it, I just loved it. I went here on a Friday evening after haven't been here in over a year and it was exactly how I remembered it. My buddy and I ordered the Fast Eddie and The Dude to share (the sandwiches are way too good not to share). The quality of the ingredients is superb, the bread has just the right consistency (not to hard or too soft, just right), and the fries are perfect (on the larger side and super crispy). I have to say we both preferred the "Fast Eddie", but that was just preference I believe. One sandwich with a side should fill you up pretty well, but if you are super hungry and adventurous, you could try to go for more. The staff was friendly too, checked on us occasionally but was definitely not annoying in any way.

Amanda S.

Ordered the Prime Rib and Gooch with fries to go. The sandwhiches held up nicely and were super tasty! I think the Prime Rib sandwich was a tad bit greasy But completely manageable. The biggest thing that hurts the review was that everything from the sandwich to the Au Jus sauce were very salty (happened twice..yikes!) Half the amount of salt would make this a definite 5 star place.

Taylor R.

The atmosphere of this place is intentionally kinda weird and I love it. The Juke is a fantastic veggie sandwich that I never get tired of eating. The staff is always nice and the music playing is always good.

Rachel L.

Got the fast Eddie like everyone said to, and it was good. The real winner for me though we're the FRIES. SO crispy but soft on the inside! GET THEM! Health can wait :) I wish the meat was a little more seasoned, but other than that, this place is solid.
(4)
Angeline G.

I'm not a big sandwich eater, but hands down this was BOMB! I got the Fast Eddie and my bf got the Waverider. The roasted tri-tip steak was perfectly cooked and went so well with the onions, peppers and aioli. I didn't get to try the Waverider, once I asked for a bite my bf had already finished, bc it was soo good! The place is small, so may expect to wait, unless you want to sit at the bar which is also small. The baguette was cooked to perfection! The bread had so much flavor that you would have just ate that by it self. This place is def. recommended!!!!
(5)
Anthony M.

great place for a quick meal. Its perfect for groups of no more than 4 due to the seating. I got the gouch which is a modified French dip with horseradish mayo. Other than home made it was the best French dip ive ever had. The only thing wrong with it was the bread was a little to toasted at the ends, but the a ju sauce more than made up for it.

Met friends at the HoneyHole last Saturday before heading over to the Century Ballroom for a show. We had an hour and a half plus, so we didn't think there would be an issue ordering burgers and drinks. An hour and 20 minutes later when we were still trying to straighten out our bill, we started to worry. In the end we made the show, but were seated in the back row. Interestingly, the drinks came quickly, weren't too expensive and were pretty yummy. I had the sweet Johnny boy, which I would recommend. They had what appeared to be a good selection of sandwiches and burgers, all with interesting names to the Dude or the Gooch. We each ordered something different, and everyone liked their food. What seemed odd was how long it took to make burgers and sandwiches. All of us commented on the wait. Another odd point was that while we found each of our individual orders very flavorful, they all sported the same marinated/pickled red peppers, which dominated the flavor profile. I think if I ate here often everything would start tasting kind of the same. In the end it was the waitress which dropped the rating. As a typical group we requested separate checks. There were six of us, so they tacked on an automatic 18% gratuity, which would have been fine if they would have divided the checks correctly. Two of our bills were crossed. When we pointed this out to the waitress, she apologized and said she was busy so could we settle up between ourselves? Not the end of the world, so money and promises exchanged hands. Time went by, the waitress did not come back, and finally we had to go to the counter to pay our bills. Ends up the waitress had found the time, but didn't tell us, and rearranged our bills. So now money had to be redistributed and individual bills paid. All of this took way too long, thus the back row at the show, but that is for another review...

The sandwiches were okay. I got the Bellisimo, and it tasted fresh, but it was nothing memorable. I thought it was a little pricey for what I was getting. I came here during lunch, so the wait was a little long to get my sandwich. The place is small too, so it will be hard to find seating during busier hours. Good service though!

The honeyhole is charming cozy little sandwich spot. The seating is open and the tiny bar near the registers is also extra cute. I love how it feels welcoming right away. I had the Emilio Pestovez and it was very tasty, although I can't decide if I'm a fan of the Tomato Field Roast patty. Nothing obviously bad about it, but if you're not a fan of most faux 'meat' patties, you might want to skip it. I'd love to try their Veggie BLT next time. My guy got The Gooch and said it was super delicious! We both enjoyed the fresh bread and toppings as well as the selection of local brews. A great spot for a well-priced sammie.

Absolutely delicious. I go here regularly, and I usually order the Thing Two Chicken burger because it's so good that I can't bring myself to order anything else. Drinks are also cheap and their house cocktails are very tasty.

I wanted so bad to like HoneyHole, especially after feeling pumped from the previous reviews I read. I tried to like it down to the last bite....but...just...no....dice.... Walking into HoneyHole, you immediately see how many fans it has. There weren't many seats in the dining area, and they were completely occupied. The ten or so people who ordered just before me had to stand and hope that seats would open up, so popularity isn't a problem here. I ordered the Corleone, which looked very appealing from its description: Painted Hills Pastrami, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, all tucked in a nicely grilled baguette. For the first 20 minutes that I had to wait for my order to arrive, I was excited. For the second 15 - 20 minutes that I had to wait, my excitement turned into desperation as I was just looking to get something to quiet my growling stomach down. Finally, when my order arrived, I didn't waste time chowing down. However, the first bite immediately presented problems. The pastrami itself was the source of my struggles - I could not bite into the pastrami, AT ALL. The meat was so tough that I had to pull each piece of meat out of the sandwich and rip it apart separately. I did this for almost every single piece pastrami. It got so frustrating that I just gave up 2/3 through my sandwich. Examining the pastrami pieces here and there, they were so fatty that I suspected I got some leftover pieces stuffed into my sandwich. I don't want to give up on HoneyHole just yet, so I'll give this admired restaurant another shot, choosing a sandwich with a leaner meat next time. Also, I noticed that people who ordered to-go got their sandwiches a lot faster than those who dined in, so I will try this to prevent another 40 minute waiting experience. I seriously hope I can update this review the after my next dining experience at HoneyHole - I would like to think that I just got the short end of the stick this visit.

I happened upon this place thanks to a tip from the salesman at the old Seattle BMW across the street. After numerous sandwiches, fries and beers at this place, I have finally woken up from my food coma to be able to give a thorough and thoughtful review. YOU HAVE TO GO THERE NOW! How is that for thoughtful and thorough? It is one of the best sandwiches I have had in my career as a consumer of food. It's warm, flavorful, swimming in freshly baked bread and all within the confines of a quirky location that fits the needs of Capitol Hill perfectly. For those who perfect gluten-free bread, they have it available. If you want a shot of tequila, you can have that as well! The possibilities are endless. So, take my word for it, go eat there now and enjoy yourself the best sandwich you have ever put into your face.

Came here around noon, was surprised that it wasn't too busy. A friend and I decided to share the French dip sandwich. The gluten free bread is delicious and perfectly crispy. However, the au jus is NOT gluten free, so if you have a serious allergy beware. The atmosphere was eclectic, I can see how this would be a fun bar to go to. I will be coming back for sure to sample the different sandwiches. I wish they had their allergens labeled better, it's embarrassing to ask what is gluten free and what has nuts. The staff seemed gloomy which made me wonder I'd it was not a happy place to work.

Lacey M.

Best gluten free sandwiches in the city. And rad service too. Never get rid of Olivia's superfree baguettes!! Thank you!

Christina C.

Pretty good and filling sandwiches. I ordered the Bellisimo, but I could do without the romaine lettuce (there was a lot!) and without the smoked tomato roast. I think the sandwich would've still been delicious with the vegetables, goat cheese, and splash of red wine vinegar. Warning: you might succumb to a food coma after HoneyHole.

Bethany A.

I had the Fast Eddie with fries and a Virgil's Root Beer. It was all great. The tri-tip sandwich with peppers and aloi was very good with a a good kick of heat. Fries and root beer were also very good. I will be going back to this place.

What I thought was my first visit here actually turned out to be my second thanks to Yelp telling me so when I checked in. I also eventually realized I had ordered the same thing that I ordered the first time which was fine since unfortunately I had completely forgotten about it anyway. Confused? So was I. haha What I like about HoneyHole is how it fits in so perfectly on Capitol Hill without looking like its trying to fit in. Small in stature, but with big aspirations, this place has become a must visit destination in the sometimes overly trendy and extremely fickle Seattle foodie scene. The vibe is upbeat yet intimate thanks to the low level lighting and hipster soundtrack and the room is actually at its best when its just under capacity. Room to breathe while eating, drinking, and socializing is definitely a plus. Now that my memory has been brought back up to speed, I do remember really enjoying the french dip that HoneyHole refers to as The Gooch although this time around I wasn't nearly as impressed. Not sure if I just caught them on a bad day but what they refer to as a toasted demi baguette was more like a burnt french roll. Way too much crunch and excessive char couldn't even be saved by the oh so savory au jus. On a side note, I was unaware that when you order coleslaw, it actually means you want french fries because that's what I got. While I wasn't in the mood to complain and didn't have the time to send anything back to be redone, I still felt this was a subpar performance from the kitchen and I just know they can do better. With that in mind, I will definitely be back to try more menu items and to enjoy the great atmosphere they provide. Lastly, the bartender and other staff members that were out on the floor were all very friendly and seemed to be handling everything very well.

Amazing hot sandwiches that hit the spot! Actually I have only had the Waverider here. Love it so much that I refuse to try anything else. Their prices vary throughout the day. In the morning/afternoon, sandwiches are cheaper but you don't get fries. For dinner, you get fries but prices are about 3 bucks more. Either way, amazing deal! Service is ok, usually packed during Happy hour. But who doesn't want cheap beer?

This is pretty simple, clean, great place to meet up with friends, enjoy a drink, friendly service, and Field Roast sandwiches for those/me vegan or vegetarians. Creative sandwiches, not standard.

A very unique ambiance that feels cozy and special. The gooch sandwich is fantastic! Everythig from the bread to the sauce is delicious and on point!

Most sandwich places have terrible vegetarian options. They'll basically pull the meat out of whatever they have and call it a day. In contrast, Honey Hole has a superlegit, extensive selection of delicious veg sandwiches that are no less crave-able, umami, and satisfying as your carnivore friends.
(5)
Valerie C.

I get up here so rarely that it makes it difficult to decide what to get. In the end, I go with the same old Buford T Justice sandwich. It's basically pulled pork with super yummy BBQ sauce. They make their own fries which are also good. I need to try some of the other sandwiches as the menu looks awesome. Lots of veggie options too.

*Just totally bitchin sandos through and through *Fast Eddie has to be the best and most sandos come with MamaLil's, that's the way the pros do it *Their soups are consistently great too, like the split pea and ham

What can I even say that the food doesn't say for itself!? The sandwiches are amazing, the drinks cheap and there is always some fun cocktail featured for a decent price. It's a walk away from my apartment and the staff is super. Honey hole is my home away from home. I take everyone I know here and it's seattle's best keep little secret !

Wow. This place is incredible. I will try something new every time because I doubt there is a single item on the menu that isn't crazy delicious... They also have a full bar and candle lit ambiance...

I am not sure why ANYONE would give this place anything less than a 5 star review. Amazing sandwiches, daily beer and drink specials and an awesome atmosphere everyday of the week. I crave their food 24/7/365... I wish i lived closer, then breakfast, lunch and dinner would happen here...

Lauren K.

Tasty sandwiches & cocktails. This place can get pretty packed during peak dinner hours, but you can snag a seat at the bar if you are a small group. I personally like the chicken sandwiches & Fast Eddie, but my friends rave about the Dude. It's a pretty substantial sandwich & is a bit heavy for my taste. Either way, you can't really go wrong with any of the sandwiches here!
(4)
Kristin B.

Great sandwiches!! I love the vegetarian Field Roast they used on their Bellisimo sandwich, it's so nice to have a vegetarian sandwich that isn't just vegetables! Sandwich options could easily be made vegan, just remove any cheese. My boyfriend loved his sandwich too, I forget what it was called because I was so wrapped up in mine! The Orange Cinnamon margarita was also delicious.

Sara Q.

this place is THE BOMB. i decided to try out a new take out app feature and this place was listed on the app but also were offering free delivery services for the weekend .. SCORE. i ordered a BLT - thick slabs of bacon, they definitely don't skimp on it by the way, tasty toasted cibatta styled bread (i think) with a seasoned aioli (perfect amount by the way, not too much so the sandwich was drench, but enough so it gave the sandwich that creaminess it deserved, a good helping of lettuce and tomatoes. i just about died. i wasn't super hungry but thought i should try out the app services because it was free delivery and i wanted to understand the process for future references.. i started with just a half and wrapped the other half back up.. found myself eating the whole sandwich without even blinking it was that good! i got a side of french fries with GARLIC AIOLI. do yourselves all a favor and order a side of this goodness. their garlic aioli KILLLLLLLS. it definitely will give you stank breath but come on, let's be real, if it's that good sacrifices must be made. bring some mints or some listerine with you. soo good. as for the sides you are able to choose other items like coleslaw, salad and for an extra charge i think they offer soup ? something along those lines. great first experience. i should probably go to the actual restaurant to see what theyre all about.. but maybe not because take out was just too easy.

An absolutely fabulous sandwich I ate for lunch with possibly the worst coleslaw I've ever had. The coleslaw was simply shredded cabbage and carrots no sauce of any kind or anything else. It's a small popular spot with some great sandwiches good service but stay away from the coleslaw.

Full bar and amazing sandwiches? Yes please. What makes these sandwiches great? The things that make great sandwiches great: Perfect bread and delectable meat. That's where you have to start. All the other fixins (Mama's lil peppers, carmelized onions, horseradish, etceteral* condiments) are important too, but what is a sandwich without bread and meat? An open face mess. Anyhow, yay for HoneyHole! Coming back. *Yeah, etceteral. It's a word. Trust me.

I don't eat red meats and I still fantasize about the Belissima sub from HoneyHole when I have to eat a bland lunch at my desk on work days. How did you even make seitan that delicious? That I don't understand!

Peter S.

Sandwich envy. That's what I got with my sammich the first time I ate here. It wasn't because my pulled pork sammy wasn't good, but my sister's and gal's looked better. And that is my vouching for this place. It isn't a spot known simply for one sammich, but multiple savory sammiches and killer fries to boot. The place is dark and grimey, but when the food is good, I can sit in a box or a dentist's office and I won't know the difference because the food should demand all the attention. The meat was succulent, sauces none too heavy, fries crisp-perfection. All's well going on up in here. Come here to eat a badass sandwich in the dark.

Stephanie Y.

Clearly you know I'm from Jersey when I do a Yelp search for sandwich and I'm shocked and appalled when only a few places turn up. Seattle, I think I found your weak spot. The man and I trekked to Cap Hill before our flight to check it out, as well as pick up some sammies for the plane ride home. I walked in and was immediately transplanted back to my college days in Boulder. I don't know why, but this place just has that collegesque vibe. The menu is somewhat limited with about 10 hot sandwiches and 3-4 cold sandwiches (they also have a whole list for vegetarians, but I'm not counting those). We got the sammy's to go along with some WA state potato chips as a treat. Fast forward 5-6 hours later, wedged into our seats on United, it was time for dinner. We broke these bad boys out and were we glad we prepared. We started off with the Fast Eddie: Thinly sliced in- house roasted tri-tip steak, melted pepper jack, sauteed onions, mama lil's sweet hot peppers, and aioli on a demi baguette. Wow. It was cold at this point and still really good. The meat was so tender and juicy and combined with the melted cheese and aioli, the thing was just a gooey delicacy. It was a rather nicely sized sandwich as well, so there's that. I didn't think we could top that experience until the Club Tasty came around. In- house roasted all natural turkey breast, zoe's black forest ham and thick sliced bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, mix greens, tomato, pickle, red onion, mayo, and mustard on a demi baguette. Yes... YES! It was delicious. Filling, but refreshing and crispy too! I was seriously super sad when this eating experience was over; I wanted more. The chips were whack. I mean, they were delicious, all 8 of them, but there was more air than chips. The sandwiches are no joke, but $11 for a sammy... that's pricy. I just checked the menu and realized you get fries or salad with them which we clearly didn't get (maybe the chips replaced them?). I don't know what's up, but the sammy and salad/fries for $11 is well worth it; the sammy alone (or even with chips) for $11, we're in baller status territory. Definitely a great sandwich spot. This would be my local joint for sure if this was my 'hood.

Crystal K.

Best sandwich...ever maybe...? We stayed nearby the HoneyHole and found it the first night by accident. The food was excellent. We were a large group, 6 different sandwiches and all were amazing. Dinner was so good in fact that we went back the next night after a night out drinking, as they are open late. Had another great sandwich and probably some of the best blue cheese dressing I have had on a salad. Great service and full bar. I love this place!
(5)
Saira R.

Turkey sandwiches here are theeeeeee best. I love the names, and I love how quickly my food comes out. The fries aren't the greatest, so if you're in the mood to be slightly healthier, you're not missing out. Highly recommend getting hot sauce to add to any of the sandwiches here. Also, sit by the windows. It's a nice place to people watch.

Carly C.

This was the first restaurant I came to when I moved to Seattle and 3.5 years later it is still solid! I have never had a sandwich or burger that I did not enjoy (Chachi's Favorite & the Waverider are my all time faves) In the day time, you walk up and order at the counter. But at night find a table and someone will come wait on you.

Kirsti H.

Greatest sandwiches EVER. The Gooch is a French dip rivaling my mother's, and The Waverider was to die for with that Gouda and pesto!

Tyler R.

The best. The best. The best. I don't care what sandwich you order from here, it will be amazing. Like "totes amaze" amazing. Hot sandwich? Awesome. Cold? Top shelf. Ham, turkey, roast beef, chicken, steak, veggie? Whatever. It's going to taste like mana from heaven. When I first moved to Seattle someone told me Honey Hole was a, well, lesbian bar, so it was never at the top of my priority list. But then I was at a party one night and made a remark about "by the lesbian bar, Honey Hole" and someone was like "Dude. That's a sandwich shop. Not a lesbian bar." So I tried it. Good lord in sandwich heaven. To make things all the better for Honey Hole, the fries...they're great. Make sure you get a side of ranch to dip your fries in. One interesting quirk is how Honey Hole transforms from a lunch place to a dinner place. If you go in for lunch, you will order from the counter and then sit down and wait for your food to come up. If you go in at dinner time, a server will take your order and bring you your food/drinks. Just a small quirk in one of my favorite places to eat in Seattle.

Angelica M.

I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said over and over again... But I'll say it anyways, The GOOCH is hands down the best sandwich I've ever had. EVER. My husband and I decided to share a sandwich and get fries. I don't think I'll have the self control to do that again next time. I can't wait to come back here. Such an amazing find!
(5)
Madeleine H.

Alright, alright, I get the hype! This place kind of really rocks. My first visit I went in for lunch and ordered the Gooch. A few minutes later, there was a plate of sandwich and a giant bowl of au jus in front of me. Beefy and cheesy heaven was devoured. I've been back a few times to grab some late night sandwiches to go -- dinner orders come with french fries -- and have not yet been disappointed (the fry portions are HUGE!). I can't wait to go back.
(4)
Jennily D.

HoneyHole, you're doing good things: 1) Open LATE. Boyfriend and I hit this place up after a movie around 11pm =P. 2) Efficient service. Love how our server anticipated our needs, and we weren't ever waiting long for anything. 3) GLUTEN FREE BAGUETTES!!!??? THAT TASTE GOOD TOO!?? Ahhhhh!!!
(5)
Raheem L.

Came at around 2pm on a Saturday and the place was fairly packed, it was a bit difficult to find a table but that wasn't a big issue. This was my very first time and I was a bit confused with the menu, I did not know that fries did not come with the meal and the cashier didn't seem to mention anything even though I had asked a few questions about some of the sandwiches and mentioned that it was my first time there.
(4)
Tony Y.

The HoneyHole is one of the best sandwich places in all of Seattle, in my opinion. They serve both traditional and unique sandwiches with great names. For example, the Samuel T. Ruterford for the pulled pork. You can't go wrong with that one by the way. They also serve fries, sodas, or beer. Another one of my favorite sandwiches is the BLT, which is served on delicious fresh bread with lots of lettuce, the perfect amount of mayo, and thick juicy cut bacon. As you can probably tell, I have been here several times and I know I will be back. You will not be disappointed!!

Andy Z.

lunch food: the bandit. good flavor bbq. the bread has a nice crunch to it yet soft. not the best bbq but it was good enough for a sandwich. better than the fast food sandwiches around.***4/5 service: self serve for the most part. there is a worker that comes by to pick up plates and wipe down tables. ***5/5 ambiance: place is kind of small. there was a small bar in the corner that wasnt open during lunch i think. it can get busy. we went during lunch hour and it was somewhat packed. we were lucky to grab a table before it got crowded. ***4/5 price: definitely more expensive than subway, but i think the quality is way better. i would def come back another time, but probably not something i would go to every day. ***4/5

Michelle P.

Best sandwiches in town! I had the Chachi Favorite with havarti, ranch spread, and freshly baked roll that was served hot, with delicious roasted turkey. I also got their fries that were served hot and crispy and yummy. The staff was very friendly, especially the guy who rang us up, he had a great Mohawk. The seating is a little tight but very warm.

I love the honey hole! First of all I usually am in there when it isn't so hectic busy. That being said I had an amazing sandwich, I usually go for the chachies favorite, this time I took my servers recommendation for the dude and I'm in love!!! The food, and drinks were great. But what I witnessed while eating dinner wasn't the greatest, a woman had come in for what it seemed to be a take-out order. She was super rude to our favorite waitress. We come in there a couple times a week and I love the honey hole so much. And it was disappointing to see the lady make a scene in the restaurant over what seem to be her inpatients of her order. I just wanted to show the love with a great yelp review this place is awesome! The Palm tree by our table is amazing and so is every other decore they have. We'll be coming back obviously! Yay team honey hole!

Samantha C.

I was so excited to try this place and I thought after eating here, I would give it a 5 star review like everyone else... Well, it was my first time here. When you walk in you can tell that it is a clean establishment and the ambience is relaxing. My boyfriend ordered The Gooch and I ordered the Fast Eddie (The two most popular items on the menu) with fries and the food came out pretty fast considering not much people were there. My bf and I switched half of our sandwiches so we could try both. I really liked the Demi bread, it's so gooood! However, the horse radish on The Gooch was SO overpowering, it made my nose sting. I don't know why?! And the red pepper on the Fast Eddie was overpowering also :( It made me not enjoy the sandwich... Maybe if we ordered it without the red peppers or horse radish, I would have loved it more. Eh. Anyway, the French fries were deliciousss (Not worth $2.25 for the amount you get though.)
(3)
Tim C.

I have been here a few times for lunch to try some different sandwiches, and I'll have to admit that I've been impressed with all of the ones I've tried. In order of preference (although the difference isn't that significant): Buford T. Justice - pulled pork with BBQ sauce - I liked their tangy and sweet BBQ sauce, I think that's what did it for me with this sandwich. The meat was also pretty moist and tender, which I appreciate in pulled pork. The slaw was also solid. Texas Tease - pulled chicken with BBQ sauce - this was pretty much the same as the Buford T. Justice, but with chicken, which I think doesn't taste as good in its pulled form as pork does. That's the NC in me talking, I can't help it. The Dude - grilled flank steak - since I'm more of a BBQ guy, I had to put this one last. But like I mentioned, it's not that far behind the first two. The steak was tasty, I liked the tomato relish, and the mustard was a good way to tie it all together. The place has somewhat limited seating if you go when it's busy, but turnover is pretty quick, so I haven't had a big problem with it. Overall, it's one of the better places to grab lunch in Cap Hill, in my opinion.

Meghan G.

Food was fantastic! Stopped by for a quick bite during my lunch break and had the Gooch and fries. The bread was crispy and delicious and the au jus had a nice flavor. One of the best sandwiches that I have had in the area. I highly recommend it!

Stacy M.

I LOVE this place. The food is amazing, the staff is great, and the atmosphere is interesting (in a good way!). Minus one star only because if you go there on a weekend night you may end up standing in the super tiny entrance way for quite some time waiting for an open table. I kind of wish this place would expand to a larger building. Anyway, the sandwiches are just soooooo good. It's kind of ridiculous. I usually order the Chachi's Favorite, but last night I got the Bandit and was definitely not disappointed. Also, the ranch dressing is by far the best I've ever had. It's like a ranch/dill dressing and I'm pretty sure they put crack in it. It's amazing. When I'm in a "Screw it, I"m going to eat what I want and not mind my calorie intake" kind of mood, I dip my fries and my sandwiches in the ranch. I can't get enough of it. I took my love here for her first time last night and she ordered their mushroom soup as a side. Pretty sure they put crack in that too. I felt bad, because even though I ordered fries as my side, I couldn't stop eating her soup. Lucky for me, my girlfriend is patient and likes to share. You should eat here. All of you.

This place is my latest addiction! I walked by here so many times and don't know why I didn't go in! So glad I finally did! The food is to die for!!! I crave it all the time! I was stuck on the wave rider for the first few times and have finally moved on to the Fast Eddie. I seriously am in heaven during every bite. I always call and order for pick up, it's a 15 min walk from my work and it's always ready by the time I get there. I have never had such a satisfying sandwich in my whole life!!!!!! I can not wait to try every single sandwich! I have a feeling they are all as good as the last one !! Mmmmm

Erica R.

For lunch: easy ordering, delicious sandwiches, prompt service. There was a fly or two buzzing around the window of the booth where my friend and I were sitting, which is kind off-putting. It was a warm day though and the booth is to the inside/right of the door though. There seem to be a good amount of options for vegetarians and such as well, which is nice. Me? I'm a carnivore at heart and enjoyed The Bandit for lunch recently (seriously, how can you go wrong with brisket and BBQ sauce, etc?), which I'd recommend. It wasn't one of those "I must have this again!"-type sandwich experiences, but it was pretty good. Be cautious of visiting at night though, as there can be longer waits and/or a bit less quality in the service provided. My recommendation is to try and visit during lunch hours and to wallow in the sandwich-y goodness...especially because the place is somewhat small and can get cramped or loud during dinner service itself. I'd go again, but I'd like to try other sandwich places as well. All I know is that there are a few other items on the menu that I'd like to try out.

Kate B.

Emilio Pestovez for life!!!! On a more serious note, i met an internet first date here. It was a great, no pressure atmosphere and all good vibes. I loved the bevy of vegetarian options - made me feel super happy that it wasn't just a veggie burger on the menu. The field roast is yummy. I just ordered a sandwich, it was huge and i chose not to go with the chips. All around it was nice visit, despite the super awkward first date ritual. :)

Delicious BBQ pork sandwich. I will definitely be back because this spot has a great vibe and the staff were definitely "Seattle" friendly and the food was amazing. The BBQ sauce was on the vinegary side, but it was a great balance between sweet, tangy, and spicy. Can't wait to try their meatball sub! Wish it wasn't on special and was part of their regular menu.

LaceyLavender C.

Love this spot. Ambiance is nice, food is great. I'm vegan and usually get the Juke (with no cheese) or vegan BLT (simple but delicious). Drinks are great, staff is friendly. I love to take my meat-eating friends here because they are always impressed with the food and I can get one of my favorite sandwiches anywhere. Once had a tab mix-up and was charged twice, but I spoke with the manager the next day (Hannah I think her name was) and she was really apologetic, really professional, and got it taken care of. That made a much greater impression on me than the original mistake. Definitely recommend this place.
(5)
Lydia B.

One of my favorite sandwich spots in Seattle. Decor is eclectic, service is OK but what you come here for in the great food. I almost always order the wave rider and am never disappointed. The house roasted turkey, perfectly melted gouda and hot peppers keep me coming back.

Waverider? Yes, please! Smoked gouda, sweet peppers, and pesto. They actually make pretty tasty cocktails. I personally would skip the vegetarian sandwiches. They're pretty salty and I never like the texture in my mouth. There's not much to say about this place. It's delicious and consistent. You should go!

My favorite sandwich spot on the hill. Love the Bellissimo.

Yum! Love the pulled pork! The bread is so goooood, kind if chewy. and the sandwich meat is juicy and definitely big enough to fill you up. Fries are yummy, too. Salad dressings , both vinaigrettes, are decent. Pricing is definitely the average. Love the atmosphere and they always play good music.

My mouth is watering as I am writing this review almost 1 week since I ate here. TRUE ARTISAN SANDWICHES made with real fresh bread and amazing ingredients combined with truly one of a kind recipes. I always order the Fast Eddie.

It pains me to know that this place was just a walk away, but never visited. A hole in the wall barbecue spot is just what I needed. Buford T. Justice sandwich = FTW. So much flavor, perfect texture... even when we thought it was too much cole slaw, it just worked. Barbecue sauce wasn't thick like I had expected, but again it worked wonderfully. It's too bad this wasn't my meal (I had a salad instead!). Drinks, food... all good and all at a great price! The service also stood out... not to say everything was done perfectly, but the staff took responsibility when something was done wrong, and they were both so happy, friendly, and real!

Ok late night at Honeyhole is great! Their four dollar drink specials are tasty and a cheap way to compliment a great sandwich. We got there at 11:45 one night, being a food service worker I was completely prepared to be turned fairly turned away, but the waiter got us in, grabbed our orders, and we had some great food. I have been there with larger parties, I have been alone, its a great sandwich and worth the wait to sit. My only complaint is that the music tends to be really loud and its hard to talk to people you come with. Its not a dance place, its a bar/food joint, so it would be nice if they could turn it down a bit.

One of my favorite places in Seattle. Their vegetarian options are out of this world (get the el guapo, sub aioli for ranch, and light on the onions). I was also on a gluten free kick for awhile and honestly their gf baguette is just as good as the gluteny bread. Speaking of, get the garlic cheesy bread! Yummmmm Service is a tiny bit aloof. As in the servers are not super committed to being THE BEST SERVER EVER and more interested in being relaxed and chilling with their friends. I don't mind that kind of service as long as my needs are met so I don't have problem with it. Okay I come a lot so more tips: soup of the day is always delicious. Always. Skip the coleslaw, I think it's the one weak link on the menu. Their drink specials are super cheap and super delicious. It's counter service at lunch and sandwiches DO NOT come with fries but it turns into table service for dinner where the sandwiches do come with fries. If you're coming with a large party, don't be a dick and try to pay the tab with 20 cards. You will denied and probably mocked.

Seriously. First Paseo's. Now Honeyhole. In a span of 24 hours visiting a buddy in Seattle, I'm amazed by the sandwiches here. Having gone heavy on the pork at Paseo's, I went for something different here. Chose the Waverider (In-house roasted all natural turkey breast, homemade pesto, smoked gouda, red onion, mama lil's sweet hot peppers, tomato, and mayo on a demi baguette). Freakin' amazing. I love the toasted baguette and the hot peppers. You can prob just have half and save the other half for later. Of course, I don't have self control and stuffed to the max in one sitting. No regrets. I even ordered another sandwich to go (a cold version to have on a hiking trip tomorrow). My mouth is watering just thinking about how that will taste.

Heath W.

Possibly the best sandwich shop in Seattle. They've got a good variety of sandwiches and a full bar. The space is on the smaller side so if you're coming during peak hours it might not be the best for big groups, but otherwise, check it out.

Mrs. B.

I came here with a friend when I was visiting Seattle. So many choices, it was very hard to make up my mind. All of the sandwiches sounded delicious. Even though it was $11.50 for a sandwich it came with fries and I could only eat half. Took the other half home and had it the next day and it was still good! Next time I visit Seattle I will definitely stop by for a good sandwich

Every time I got to Seattle, I have to hit this spot up. Great quality meats, fresh bread and local beers. It's my staple!

The Texas Tease is finger licking good, with extra onions and BBQ sauce. This little hole in the wall joint is the place to go when looking for a good sammich. There is limited seating but I have always been fortunate to snag a seat right when a party leaves. When you are hankering for a sammich.....fill your pie hole at HoneyHole (^_^) Yaaaaay SAMMICHES!!!!

Brandee N.

Maaaaaaaan I was so excited to eat here. A lot of my friends said great things about the sandwiches here and I left underwhelmed. We walked in on a weekend night to a packed house. I asked the waitress how long the wait was and she shrugged and said, "15 mins maybe I'm not sure could be longer could be shorter." Alright . Stop right there. Two things you should never do when asked how long it will be is.. 1. Under quote and 2. Be unsure. If you under quote you're almost always going to have a bunch of upset potential customers. It's better and safer to over quote, but not by much. You'll see the delight in the faces of the people who have decided to wait it out when you call their name to be seated earlier than they expected. The only reason I stayed at the Honey Hole when given a so so..I'm no sure wait quote was because I was absolutely starving and thought well it's the weekend and I don't want to chance going from one place to another in Capital Hill only to be greeted with more waiting. Anyway, we sat within 20 minutes. You might be thinking... Well, why is she complaining then? I'm just bringing up the fact that I don't want to be given Unconfident answers about how long my wait will be. If a persons been working at a restaurant long enough they should have a pretty accurate idea of that restaurants turn over. So to the food... My friend and I both agreed that we've eaten much better sandwiches at much cheaper prices. I had The Gooch. The meat was tough and there was entirely too much horseradish for my liking. A positive was that the service was quick once we were seated. I mentioned my mediocre food experience to a friend who recommended me and he said, "well, you got the wrong thing." Idk about him, but I'd rather take my chances somewhere else. Two wrongs won't make it right.

Holy Honey Hole, Batman. This place is legit. If it's one place that I'm glad I dragged my ass in a plane to Seattle from NYC to work a booth at a packed conference, it's got to be this place. I was seriously impressed. I got The Dude, which was flank steak. Steak was perfectly cooked, bread was warm and crunchy, all the other components melded together and gave me the energy I needed to last the rest of the day talking non-stop trying to promote my video game. The fact that they had beer and a full service bar is also an excellent addition. Really can't say anything bad about this place. I just want to take everything back to NYC so I can eat this every day. Also, I appreciate unique sandwich names. Not enough places do this.

Leyla K.

I yelped first before ordering and had the waverider sandwich :)it was great but I was already expecting it to be so. To be honest I think I should have ordered the salad like my date :) it was loaded with chicken and even filling for a guy! The place was busy all night for an average Wednesday night :) have to say I noticed a lot of guys in the place- maybe because of the satisfying plate proportions...? The bar selection looked small-ish but had a little of everything & our bartender was nice and very pretty! I didn't drink that night but beers were local and offered pretty good prices on the drink specials. What more can you ask for? Good food, good drinks, fair price :D

I would come to HoneyHole every freakin' day, but I don't because sometimes the Hill is too far and I have a lot of other restaurants I need to tend to. With that said, their sandwiches are just, crazy delicious. Fresh ingredients AND organic meat? I mean, how amazing can you be? Pretty amazing I'd say. There is nothing like a hot sandwich on a cold Seattle day, especially when it comes with a side of fry-perfection. Not only does this place serve up some delish sammies, they have the most delicious crunchy-on-the-outside-but-just-enough-softness-Âin-the-inside fries! I'm obsessed with fries and let me tell you, I could eat these fries on any given day. My go to sandwich: Fast Eddie. Just eat it. You'll love me for recommending it. I don't get it with aioli 'cause I'm one of those weirdos that hate mayo, but it's still dang good to me! The best part of it all? The service is always friendly. Love me some HoneyHole.

Tom C.

With sandwich names like the Gooch and Emilio Pestovez, you know its gotta be good. Coupled with some delicious late night cocktails, this place was a hit. The only downside is that they shut us down at midnight as we were the only ones in there, even though menu said open until 2am. Oh well.
(4)
Jamie O.

I eat here all the time and the sandwiches are always BEYOND on par. I bring friends here with many different wants (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, carnivorous) and everyone is always blown away. Noms. My personal fave is the Emilio Pestovez. Their soups are always homemade and delicious, their salads fresh, and their fries bomb. Why not 5 stars? If you call or stop in and order to go, your food will always be 5-10 minutes later than they tell you. Probably more. I generally almost always eat in here around lunch time, but be weary of the service at night. The ambience is more like a bar and there's one waitress (short, curvy, medium length black hair) who is so impolite it borders on words I cannot post on yelp. She has sassed me, talked down to me, and even one cocked her head and called me "honey" in a completely condescending tone. For ordering food and drink. I have absolutely zero idea how she keeps her job, without her I would have given honeyhole 5 stars. My advice? Eat in for lunch! Beyond delicious.

I've finally had a chance to go eat there after living around for many years. The atmosphere was pretty casual. There were dining and bar area. I ordered a chicken burger, called Thing Two.... Can't really remember the name but it was chicken with avocado, bacon, and cheese. I love it! By the way, i think they have the best fries in Seattle! Must try!

Jessica O.

This place is eclectic and fun! Loved the dÃ©cor and the casual scene. My friend got The Dude and I got the Fast Eddie. Both were very delicious and large!!! The steak in the sandwich was tender and juicy. The French fries were also delicious, loved the crispy ones! Definitely check this place out!

Amazing sandwich, just amazing.

Mae D.

Oh Honeyhole, you're the only place I giggle at while telling everyone where to get delicious food and freshly squeezed juice cocktails. I love your freshly squeezed juice cocktails! Your happy hour is awesome, and your sandwiches are "finger lickin' good".... I had the Buford T. Justice after being on hiatus for 5-ish years? I'm sure it wasn't that long, but it sure felt like it. I did take this sandwich and fries to go... oh man! I was in bbq heaven! BBQ shredded pork, cole slaw, a nice crusty bread and some other things I can't remember totally reminded me why I love Capitol Hill. The next sandwich I tried, about a month and a half or so after my Buford experience was The Gooch. Funny name, but the sandwich, was super serious! Tri tip beef, red onions, horseradish mayo, sharp cheddar and a side of aus jus! I wanted to cry it was so damn good! I'm glad I had split the sandwich with my gal pal, or else I would have had someone roll me down to my bus stop on 2nd and pike! As for drinks, I had a greyhound (grapefruit juice and vodka) and my that was super simple and refreshing! Talk about revamping the typical well drink. The juice isn't out of a can, so the alcohol mixes well with the nice fresh juice! The other drink I had I the next happy hour my gal pal and I went to I can't recall. However, I remember it was peach nectar and whiskey in it and it was pretty good... but I really like the greyhound. That will be my new happy hour go-to cocktail! I can't wait to spend more time here. It's so close to my work, I can stop by every day! You are the sweetest honeyhole next to the best sex shop in town (Babeland is literally right next door... oh my!!!).

These sandwiches are absolutely amazing. I don't think I could say enough good things about the food at Honey Hole. The Fast Eddie is one of my favorite things on the menu! Also, the staff are all super friendly and helpful.

Alec W.

The Gooch is an incredible sandwich. Also made it in time for happy hour, which was great. Not a wide variety of beers on tap (lots of IPAs), but they had a red ale that was great. Really can't describe how good that sandwich was though, definitely worth checking out! Bonus, you can tell people you ate a gooch sandwich for dinner.

Eddie R.

The Honey Hole is out of this world. The pulled pork sandwich was great. A true sign of good eats is when even the sides are great. Awesome fries. Ask for a side of the pineapple bbq. Yow!

Allison P.

Best sandwiches on Capitol Hill!! Love the Gooch! I always recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good lunch! They also have vegetarian options! Don't let the price stop you the sandwiches are worth it!!!
(5)
Jack R.

I had the turkey sandwich that's not the wave rider last night with fries and a side of ranch along with the black cat margarita (probably a Halloween special) and I honestly don't think I've ever had a better sandwich in my life. The drink was also very tasty and only $4.50 and the fries were crispy and dank! I'm only in Seattle for Halloween weekend but I am going to go twice (even foregoing trying another restaurant).
(5)
Cynthia L.

It's been too long, Honeyhole. When people complain about how pricy their sandwiches are, I want to stick one of their seasoned fries in their... just kidding. I wouldn't waste the fry ;) My fave sandwich here is the Chachi's Favorite. I think it is especially delicious since I remember who Chachi was. Peppered turkey, havarti (?), and tomato on a toasted, warm hoagie, dee-rowning in ranch dressing. Sounds simple, right? Like you could just whip this up at home and it would be the same? It never works out at my house; if it does at yours, can I come over? A close second is the toasted vegetarian El Guapo. Tomato sauce and chunky veggies with smoked cheese...the best part about this one is that you don't feel guilty after eating it. Which means I can order TWO sides of fries. They have a full, regular dinner menu here, cold sandwiches (not my thing), hot sandwiches, good soup (they run out sometimes!) and a quirky little bar. If you call in your order for lunch, you're SUPPOSED to be able to edge your way up through the line and ask for your order, but the death stares will give you nightmares later. Best just to wait.

Crysta S.

PROS: The food! So simple but quite tasty. As a vegetarian, I love the variety of hot sandwich options. They're also very considerate about replacing a meat item with Field Roast if you want that. Super nice staff. They are very low-key, which fits the atmosphere. Don't expect the quickest service here, but it's not due to a lack of skill - they're just often quite busy and there are only ever a few of them on at a time. Easy to order food for carryout during the lunch hours (but it does take a few minutes). CONS: Not a lot of seating. They've certainly packed in as many tables and chairs as is feasible, but it's a popular spot. It's easy to show up at 7pm on a weeknight and not have a place to sit. It's first-come/first-serve, so if you want to sit and eat you have to wait around until something opens up (no list). This is a small thing, but because it's a small place, whenever the door is open, you can feel it no matter where you're sitting, and when it's cold/windy out, that's a bummer!

Samantha G.

I used to be a regular at HoneyHole during my college years since it was a walk away from Seattle University. Nowadays, I'll stop by here on occasion just because their sandwiches are so damn good! Before HoneyHole, I was a cold sandwich kinda girl only because those sandwiches take less time to prep. Anyways, thanks to this place, I became fond of hot sandwiches. There are only 2 sandwiches that I order from HoneyHole: The Gooch (love the au jus!) and The Bandit. I'm sure the other items they offer are just as good but I admit, I do like to stick with my favorites. Sure, the price might seem high but these sandwiches always leave me feeling stuffed.

Olivia D.

Night Menu: This place makes me happy! Great Food, Great service, Great Daily Happy Hour Drinks, Great Vibe and a Great David Bowie poster. What more could you want?! I enjoy the Flank steak salad on a rainy day. They also have all kinds of yum sandwiches with hot, cold, and vegetarian options!
(5)
Brent P.

Want a giant, taste and filling sandwich for under $10??? This is the place. Quality ingredients, well made, good service and not a complete hole in the wall this place meets all my needs for a good lunch spot. I only wish I was on the hill more often to go here.
(5)
Vega S.

Honeyhole is over-all just a great restaurant experience. I have been here a couple of times and was not disappointed. Their service is quick and unassuming. During the weekends they are pretty full but they move the food and drinks pretty quickly so the wait for a table is no more then 15 minutes. The food is great! Their vegetarian sandwiches are especially good. I recommend the Jook and the El Guapo. I also really like the chicken pesto burger. One thing that I really like about Honeyhole is that they put thought into their dishes. The salad and fries come in a reasonable quantity. Not too much or too little. And the bread or bun is always cut to the size of the burger patty or chicken breast. I love their attention to detail.They also serve all the popular local brews to pair with your sandwich or burger.
(5)
Isaac R.

The sandwiches here are killer. A very small, cozy place to sit back and relax. If you are in a rush, however, this place probably isn't a good idea. Took about 35min to get our food around 7:30pm.
(4)
Trisha F.

Emilio Pestovez-- I think I'm in love! Sans goat cheese and mayo, of course. Why do my declarations of love always come with fine print? This place is actually very cool, unassuming, and pleasant. I've forgotten which night of the week I strolled in, but the lights are dim, service is quick, and ambiance is great. My friend and I took an obnoxiously long time ordering-- mostly because everything on the menu looks so tasty. Do try their cocktail special of the day. Mine came with honey and some fancy energy drink. Yum!

Chris B.

"Hey, meet me at Honeyhole on Pike for happy hour." "Uh, the sex shop?" "No, next to the sex shop, on Sandwich Row." Honeyhole is probably my favorite spot to get a sandwich in Seattle. It's a casual place, with weird tiki decor. The happy hour is great, with cheap beer and food specials. The best part, though, is that if you're a vegetarian there's still a great selection for you. My favorite sandwiches, the Emilio Pestovez and the El Guapo, are both excellent. Out of all the sandwich places on Sandwich Row (that 2-block stretch of Pike) Honeyhole is the clear winner.
(5)
Lauren T.

You can't go wrong with the HoneyHole, everything on the menu is delicious! I have a hard time deciding which sandwich to get, but usually go for the Gooch. The last time i was here they had fresh fruit drinks and were playing Bleach by Nirvana. Good times. Go for something different and unique off the menu.
(4)
Michael C.

Now that I am living here in Seattle I am privileged to have such a great meal within walking distance of my place. I tried this last night and it was phenomenal. I'd suggest one of their hot meaty sandwiches (you can substitute a salad or coleslaw for fries at no charge). I have a feeling I'll be eating here often. FYI - a $10 sandwich can easily feed two moderately hungry people.
(5)
A R.

This place is just so damn good. A little pricy and crowded for a sandwich shop but really worth it. I was definitely full after eating only the first half of "the bandit" I ordered. The staff is friendly and fast. Check it out sometime if you're on the hill!!
(4)
Jeff A.

Had a turkey and pesto sandwich here (forgot what it is called $12). Simply put, it was one of the finest sando's I have ever pleasured myself with. The turkey was moist, juicy and bursting with flavor. The pesto and cheese were smooth and gave the sandwich great body. Some may even go "full body brockin" at HoneyHole (shout out to AJ in Australia). By that I mean, you just want to make love to the entire sandwich all at once. The bread is crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, some of the best I have had. On top of the great food they also have a nice craft cocktail menu and some solid beers on tap. They have a rotating tap of the day that is $3 a pint. Go in to HoneyHole, get a few brews, and then move on to the nightlife in the surrounding area. This place is a must visit if you find yourself in Seattle. Come here during off hours for the full experience, it gets packed during the day!
(5)
Vince S.

Stick it in my honeyhole this place is SOOOO good!!! Quite possibly some of the best sandwiches I've EVER had. We had The Bandit and The Gooch. Both were dripping with such cheesy goodness, that we were both so depressed when our sandwiches were done. And not to mention, the fries were really good too. Trust us, we've had some bad fries here in Seattle. Two sandwiches, 1 with fries, and we split a medium coke that came refillable. About $21 bucks. Not bad!!! Seriously, so worth it. We'll definitely be back!!!!
(5)
Kevin S.

I visited HoneyHole after having heard a lot of positive reviews of this place from friends. They absolutely have good food, friendly environment and nice staff; but honestly, I didn't find their sandwiches, fries etc to be outstanding. The bread was outstanding, but again, not a sandwich that lived up to the hype received. If nearby, definitely visit, but wouldn't recommend going out of your way.

Jens J.

Yes, Honey Hole serves sandwiches but this, what seems might be a naughtily-named restaurant, ain't no Subway! I came here to pick up a take-out sandwich at noon last week. Appealing ambience, though perhaps a bit quirky, with music and ocean objets d'art all around - tied together with lights hanging from the ceiling on multi-colored feather boas. You can get a cocktail with your sandwich if you eat in. Natch, this is a good idea. Bar service, per se, doesn't start until 5pm however. Even mid-afternoon on a weekday, all the tables were taken. Nice people working here. I ordered the "Dude", a flank steak sandwich. It took quite a while for it to be prepared, but it was certainly worth the wait. The cooked-to-the-just-right-doneness steak on a baguette was seasoned nicely. The toppings, which included cherry tomatoes and lettuce complimented the steak very well. But what was best about the sandwich was the spread they used. Oh so delicious! The sandwich was huge, and I was full after eating just half. I also ordered a cup of the potato parsley soup. Very tasty!

Ray H.

Wow... Heard about this place from a friend and had to try it. Might be one of the best Sammie places in Seattle. Paseo's was my tops , but The Honey Hole could replace it quickly. Tried the Dude and the Fast Eddie. Bread is unbelievable and meat is perfectly cooked. Wish I was trapped inside one of these sandwiches and had to eat my way out!
(5)
Misty M.

Great pulled pork sandwich on a gluten-free baguette was awesome! The best gluten-free bread I've had hands down. The only thing I was disappointed in was that it was a la cart. It would have been nice to have some coleslaw or chips on the side. Other than that, it was great.
(4)
Amanda P.

I've already been here three times since I recently moved to Seattle. I would recommend 'The Gooch,' but really all the sandwiches are good (I've had a few others and friends have tried most of the rest). If you order fries (which you should), maybe plan on sharing them between two people. It's a lot of food, but tasty. The atmosphere is cool and they are open late. Good bar with good drink specials. Friendly staff.
(5)
Lorena G.

While visiting in Seattle, a friend took us here because we were looking for a place that could satisfy 2 carnivores and 1 vegan! HoneyHole definitely did not disappoint! I ordered a delicious chicken pesto sandwich (Thing One Chicken Burger) and it was so good! The drinks here were also yummy and at a great price (Basilito - only $5.5)!! I'm so sad that I dont actually live in Seattle because this would definitely be my go-to place!
(5)
Endymion N.

The food is good, yes. But what prompted me to write is the staff. We just walked in tonight to get warm while waiting for a locksmith to open our car. They offered us seats & water, checked on us multiple times, & even brought us a plate of sympathy fries. Top notch people & business. More than enough reason to stop & check out.

One of the best Sandwich places in the city. They have something delicious for everyone, vegetarians, vegans, gluten free, or meat eaters, they have an incredibly tasty sandwich for you.

Enjella L.

A hole in the wall, dark (even during the day) sandwich spot. You walk up to the register, order, and wait for your food. The sandwiches are ridiculous. Addicting with every bite. It's ironic because it's definitely good junk food that tastes hearty and nourishing. The fries were perfectly crispy and the perfect side. These are definitely man sandwiches..so ladies, come with an appetite because it is filling. This is the type of place boys would go after a hangover I assume. They just get it so~~~ right. The poor service and irritation from the employee on the other hand is what's to be expected at a divey place. Much better than Home Grown sandwiches, but then again, they are two different types of sandwich spots. Now, this is just the place to grub. Go.

Joshua G.

what on god's green earth inspired someone to name a sandwich after the slang word for... yeah. you'll just have to figure that one out on your own. it seems to be pretty damn popular but why, lord? why give it such a vile name? i keep coming in here because its so close and convenient. but i don't think i would bring my dad here if i wanted to show off what wonderful taste i have cultivated for myself in the city. great place for hanging out with co-workers or other people you have nothing in common with because its more delicious than red robin. also, if your co-workers are lame, the beer selection isn't half bad.

The honeyhole is a perfect example of itself; it is what it should be. This is a quirky bar and sandwich joint that makes so much sense in capitol hill, it's almost a cliche of itself. But it is what it should be. The service ranges from attentive to sketchy (again, kind of appropriate for a place like this), but the fries and the BBQ sandwiches are warm and homey and awesome. I don't know why there aren't more places that just do their thing and do it right.
(5)
Ben M.

A few people I know salivate over the mere mention of this place, so of course we end up here occasionally. The service is weird, but good. Our waiter got a little surly when we sat down before the table had been cleaned. We weren't inclined to wait, as it was a little busy, so we laughed at him. He was very patient while we were waiting for the ladies to decide what to eat, however. He also specifically recommended that I *not* get the potato salad, which I appreciated. Who likes a shitty potato salad, after all? Not I. The burgers are so-so, though mine got better when I tossed what was left of it into a scramble for breakfast the next morning. The veggie options are very... interesting. I've not tried their BBQ, but I'm interested. The onion rings are good, they've got that flaky batter that I enjoy. The decor is great, and is probably my favorite part of this place. Overall, it's a fantastic spot on the Pike/Pine corridor that I hope doesn't succumb to all the awful development going on.

Katy B.

I loved the Texas Tease and the fries. The bbq sauce is really tasty and cheddar?? I didn't believe it until I tried it. The fries are have a familiar crispiness about them like the olden day; but without having that middle-school lunch reused-oil taste. There is often not a lot of seating so I usually get take out and hightail it back and have my snack-attack in the warmth of my own home.

This place saved my life. It was a hangover, but it felt like I was dying. The Buford sandwich helped me recover, and for that I owe the honeyhole bigtime. It is simply pulled pork with cheese on a french roll, but you can get some slaw on the side. I am hooked on that sandwich, as for anything else on the menu...I have no clue. If you find yourself on Pike street on Capitol Hill be sure to give it a try.

Bryan M.

The often well spoken of sandwiches here are good. I had dinner here with a couple friends, one of whom used to frequent the place and I had a bit smooth on recommendation that was pretty good. A few vegetarian options exist with removable cheese as well. The server was friendly and came by often enough to keep the drinks filled. Around 6pm there were still a couple tables open so finding a booth wasn't a problem. Cozy inside, fairly casual, great place to meet friends and feel comfortable. Good food AND liquor always wins me out for a dinner spot anyways.

This place was alright. I got the veggie BLT and it would have been great but the bread was really hard and over-toasted, and the fries were overcooked and crunchy. Maybe it was an off day? I'd try it again but didn't think it was anything amazing.

Lindsay V.

Obsessed. I wake up craving their sandwhiches. Chachi's favorite, the Dude, the Gooch...they are amazing. Fries are good thickness, hot and crispy, not soggy or greasy. Their ranch dressing is also excellent. LOVE this place. Only been for lunch though, don't know about their scene as a bar.

I don't know why more places don't serve hot sandwiches. Seriously, who doesn't love hot sandwiches? I have been here with friends and parents, in the middle of the day and in the middle of the night, and it is always good. They have decent vegetarian options too. One year my birthday landed on a very early Easter Sunday, and the Honey Hole seemed to be one of the only restaurants open that day. Comfort food was a must as I was dragging around my hungover roommate. In conclusion, the Honey Hole saved my birthday. Find out when the kitchen closes and make sure to come well before that. If there is a line, it is probably worth the wait.

If it's lunch and you're after a quick, hot, delicious sandwich this is the joint! I find the evenings a little more hit and miss but the afternoon lunch staff and crowd knows exactly why there are there. I live nearby and this is a staple of my daytime diet. My recommendations: Waverider turkey on wheat or the Luke Duke meatball on wheat. If you skip the fries you should be shot - they are what deep-fried dreams are made of.

i've loved honey hole for over 10 years. these days i only get one sammy, 'the liotta' - because is a dream come true (just add pickles and mama lil's peppers for the extra vinegary flavor!)... if only they did bloody marys (or liquor in general) at lunch time on the weekends, we'd be totally set, but as long as the liotta is around, you really won't be hearing any complaints from me.

Pretty tasty and not bad for a west coast sandwich shop. I can't help that I'm uber picky about sandwiches. But I'm always willing to give a new place a chance. We read the reviews here and decided to check it out for ourselves. There was a huge line already forming, so we jumped in and picked out some yumminess. The eggsalad I got was pretty damn good. Loved the dill in it. The bread was a little lacking and the potato salad was nothing to write home about. The staff was a bunch of hipsters but some of the nicest and hardest working I've seen on the hill. So tip em! The place itself seems pretty eclectic. And I really can't imagine it as a bar. Just weird. I'll be back at some point to try more but there are much better sandwiches in the area.

Feeling festive? Feeling melancholy? Welcome to Honey Hole. You will be fed sandwiches and enjoy suitable drinks. Lush score: Nice if you can get it During the new "lunch" mode you can only get beer and wine, and you can tell they'd rather you just get self-serve soda. The beer is good here, and simple cocktails are fine. Don't try anything too funny, though. The mojitos are unfortunate here -- a weird bowl of mint & sugar soup. Veggie score: Good Get the Veggie BLT w/ Veganaise. It will shred the roof of your mouth, and you will thank them for it.

Quirky atmosphere. Great vegetarian sandwiches (try the VLT . .. the Veggie Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato) or the El Guapo. Hmm. Can get crowded but the service is good and the drink specials too. During lunch, you order at the counter. In the evening, they pull a drape over the counter and you sit down to order off of a menu. I've seen them serve (and be very polite and attentive) everyone from pierced nose types to rap star wannabes to older people who looked like tourists and weren't sure what to make of the decor.

The sandwiches were good and they gave you a lot of food. Aside from the food, the people in there bothered me, more on that in a little while. First off, when I said the food was good, I didn't have a "sandwich" moment. It's not like the first time you try a Midnight Cuban from Paseo's or realize that this Vietnamese sandwich really only cost $1.50 or the taste of Salumi's meats. It was just okay. They did have a wide variety of different specialty sandwiches though. The people...I totally agree with Sil A...freaking hipster central. Too cool for school. They just started to bother me more and more during the meal. That said, nothing memorable about the place and nothing really compelling me to go back.

Great sandwiches, good beer selection, good service, reasonable prices. Hardvto find a table though.

I love you Honey Hole! You would get 5 stars, but you changed your menu! The bread seems softer, Its nice for the roof of the mouth, but gets all soppy now if you take too long to eat the sandwich. The fillings are the same but a little different too.... Maybe over time. I've been going here somewhat frequently for over 5 years now. Love the decorations and the staff is consistently friendly, which is always hit or miss around Seattle. Chachi's favorite = I love it. Also the fries. They are most awesome. Not too skinny. Not too fat. Just right. With a nice crispy crust. You will want to take them behind a middle school and get them pregnant. Trust me. And also the beers are ginormous.
(4)
Lindsey S.

It's like a dive bar feel but also a diner sort of thing. You can have a decent dinner and a tasty bev! Winner in my book Drinks are good prices and the food is really good. Don't pass up the french fries, splurge! It's worth it!

Amanda S.

I came back in here today and I realized that I was being hard in my last review almost two years ago. I only tried the lunch special not realizing that their full sandwiches are almost to die for!! I had the Club Tasty cold sandwich. I decided to go for the full size sandwich since I was really hungry. When the server brought it out, myself was in awe!! The sandwich was huge and I knew I was going to be in for a good time...... After some heaping bites (one that I had trouble swallowing LOL), I could not finish the other half and had to get a box. The elderly ladies next to me were also gasping when they saw their sandwiches and we had a silent contest who can finish the most. I must say....I let the ladies win!! As I hung my head in shame as I walked by them, I took some silent glee heading out the door that I can savor the other half at home with a tall glass of frosty beer. Ha, who is the winner now biotches?? I will definitely keep coming back here when I have a craving for a heaping sandwich (by the way, you will not catch me saying sammie or sammy, or whatever you all call it!).

Take a bite of a loser sandwich on Capitol Hill. You heard what I said...not only is this place in one of the dirtiest strings of up and supposed coming Loserville....it is one of the ONLY places to get a ,mediocre at best, sandwich in Seattle. It is like, hey Seattle, catch on....the rest of the world...aka Southern California...eats a modest and light sandwich, soup or salad for lunch....not Thai Food, Indian Buffet and trips to China town for lunch. That is why they are pin thin and not big ole fatty pattys like those residing in Seattle. Some of those dumb enough to think they might be getting a good sandwich, and craving a good sandwich...because they are surely a Seattle transplant....end up at The Poophole for sandwiches. I don't have that much problem with the writing on the walls and the decor...mostly the people who frequent the place...it is like....get those original cup'o'fries out of your fat face and eat a side salad! Of course...you could always use the grease dripping off of your french dip sandwich...if you lack so much self control and actually eat one....to dip your fries in I guess...or mix it with vinegar and use it to eat your salad with. There is usually crazy people in there and the Tiki Bar in my opinion...with its small selection (um they don't carry Kettle One) WAY bites....kind of like all of the foundation line showing, back fat displaying weirdos in there. I guess it explains why there are so many fat people....but now why there are so many pale people in that area.....

Jesse L.

These are good sandwhichs make no mistake. But once again this place is plagued by lack of choices. For example i wanted the corleon. But i didnt want a couple of the vegtables that were on it. So i asked for without them in basically came down to being a salami and cheese sandwhich. I also expected more of a deli sorta place but it turned out to be a bar sorta. Its hard to say it wasnt great but it was still good. There is certainly better sandwhichs though.

I love the Honey Hole. I only have 5 phone numbers memorized: my mom, my GF, my cell phone, work and THE HONEY HOLE 206-709-1399. I eat here WAY too much and always love it. I haven't met a sandwich here I didn't like. I don't know what it is...but i think the french fries here during the day are 10x better than at night. I think they put more spices on them or something. They have good salads, good cold sandwiches and hot sandwiches and great vegetarian food. I love the soup too. ask if they have cookies! also - you can get the special any day of the week you know. it just costs more when it is not the special. My favorite is the Mr Lulu EVERY DAY!

I loved the honey hole its sandwiches were amazing. I had the Chachas favorite, it was so good. It was on a french roll and had peppered turkey, tomatoes and a yummy cream sauce. It was grilled and very good.

Yum yum yum! It's usually the smell of their BBQ sauce that draws me in. Great place for a sandwhich lunch, dinner, or drinks.

John K.

Solid sandwhich place. I wish I could remember which one I had (subpar review, i know), but it is defintely worth checking out if u are in the area. I just moved to Seattle and one thing I have noticed is that there are lots of reasonably price eateries that will give u a truly unique eating experience. I can't wait to try more sandwiches here and I'm highly recommending this to everyone!!!
(4)
Jen S.

I almost always order Chachi or The Gooch. Delicious. It's greasy. It's tasty. I like their fries, too. It's a fun place to hand out for the bar scene and it's fun for just a sandwich too. Parking is a bitch, but hey, that's what you get. I had a Chachi after giving birth because there was no way I was eating hospital food - awesome!

Spencer v.

As an out-of-towner from California, we heard about Honey Hole on the net and decided it would be our lunch place for our day in the area. It was a great choice. The vibe of the busy sandwich place was a nice introduction to Seattle, the food was really great and the price was the best part. When we complete our move to the Northwest, I see us visiting Honey Hole often.
(5)
Jacob K.

The HoneyHole really hits the spot. They have great hot sandwhiches such as the Buford T. Justice which is a pulled pork sandwhich with provolone cheese and a nice pineapple BB-Q sauce. They also have the bandit. Same Pork but with regular BB-Q sauce and sharp cheddar cheese. Both of those sandwhiches are served on a toasted fresh French roll. The atmosphere is nice, with scented candles. There is a full bar there.

Pete M.

Busy place! Relaxed atmosphere and good staple sandwiches.

Jocelyn T.

food was good, service was middle of the road. good place to hang and out with your posse, or maybe go to on a first date. could probably get pretty crowded fast. since folks are dining and drinking at the same time. i ordered what the bartender lady recommended; french dip sandwhich with fries. the bread, i think, was definately the highlight of the meal- crusty on the outside. the fries were good too. my pals ordered the brisket and pulled pork sandwhiches and then split the two. they said it was slammin' and ate all of it. (they've yet to have brisket from texas though).
(3)
Anna M.

I'm not a huge sandwich fan, I am partial to cheeseburgers and tacos and deep fried mozzarella sticks. But Honeyhole, you were good. I tried a couple different sandwiches between friends..BLT...Tuna..and some pulled pork one or something. And they were tayyysteeeee. Not bad prices since the sandwiches are big..but I think fries should come with the sandwiches. Also, they were crammed in there...small place with not a lot of seating since they have so many sandwich lovers piling in. I prob. won't go back unless my friends plan an outing, just because I'm lazy and cheap and can make sandwiches at home. Not gonna deny the fact that they are nothing compared to Honeyhole's.

Melinda E.

Honeyhole is terrific for vegetarians. The vegan chili is great and is offered almost every night. The vegan BLT is my favorite. I strongy recommend this place for a quick, reasonably priced meal.

Kelli F.

For the BEST sandwiches in town, stiff drinks, cozy booths, great service....it's at the HONEYHOLE. During lunch or dinner, it's a sure thing. I always tell folks coming to Seattle to visit the Honeyhole. Tasty and delicious. Your neighborhood bar and friends are here.

Honeyhole makes sandwiches, and makes them really good. Great fries too. Enough said!

Jenny S.

Ok so I love this place, it is by far the best sandwich place I have ever been too! The atmosphere is awesome, they have a bar which is great if you do want to something to drink. I like to go to lunch and I can call my order in before and its always ready by the time I get there. If you can go, no run to the honey hole! I recommend the Wave rider, Bufer T. Justice.
(5)
Wesley B.

This is a staple for me when i come to capital hill. No matter where im at in capital hill i always end up here. This place i very consistent which is hard to find in small sandwich spots. I've probably had almost every sandwich on the menu hot cold and even the veg ones, and everyone of them is tasty. The only reason why i didn't give them 5 is because i think they need a new menu of sandwiches.
(4)
Andrew P.

Great sandwiches and huge portions! Can you ask for more? Love this place! The club is my favorite, always plenty of meat on the sandwhiches and fresh bread - the two most important things for a good sandwhich. Love having the great beers on tap as well.
(4)
Sarah A.

2 1/2 stars is more like it, but I'll error on the sweet side because I'm feeling frisky today. In general the sandwiches are okie dokey. Nothing amazing, quiet frankly the QFC deli is just as good. The vibe is very hipster, dark and demure. My major issues with this place revolve around staff. I came in with a friend on a Saturday night around 12:30 am to grab some sandwiches to go. We went to the awkwardly located ordering area (aka the bar in the back) and were told they weren't serving food anymore. Even though I've had food there later and their website says serving food until 2:00am. LIARS! I think my glasses weren't square enough...or maybe I wasn't wearing boots over my jeans. Anyhoo...we went back a few weeks later and they gave our take out order to the person in line ahead of us. Didn't bother to like, ask the name to distinguish orders or anything. I've also had them forget my fries like three times. OH and their menu says they have potato salad but they don't. Bah, maybe I should have gone to 2 stars.
(3)
Lindsey D.

I've been here a ton and the fries are always perfect. I love that the burger is on a ciabatta roll. The burger sauce blends perfectly with the meat. They have a great Sunday night special: HH Burger & Fries for a good price
(5)
Kole M.

My favorite place in the whole city to grab a sandwich. I go there alot so they know me by name and exactly what I want. It's great that everyone I know can eat there (from vegans (me) to full-on carnivores.) Most of the staff is awesome during the day (I can't speak much of the night crew, but I have heard they can be rude. No first hand experience though.)
(5)
Amy C.

omg sandwiches! so, so great. too bad everyone else on the hill loves their sandwiches as much as i do, so it's often packed. it's worth the wait though, especially if you wait at the bar and get tipsy while waiting. definitely one of my favs.
(5)
Aaron F.

While I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here, this is a great place for locals or those passing through the area. This cozy bar features exceptional sandiches and particularly good service. Sandwiches average $8.50 but most sandwiches are so large you'll want to take half to go. The beer selection is good (ranging from Olympia to Dick's Danger Ale) at $4/pint.
(3)
Desiree V.

I can't believe people like the sandwiches here. My boyfriend and I ate here the other day while strolling through Capital Hill and while it had a cool atmosphere, the sanwiches sucked. The bread was so dry and so thick, you couldn't taste anything in between. I might stop by for a drink, but the sandwiches need some work.
(1)
Trevor B.

The sandwiches and fries were really great, but the service was absolutely horrible.. so unfortunately, I have to give it two stars, because the staff there really ruined what otherwise would've been a great meal. Don't bother going to HoneyHole sandwiches.

Conveniently located next to Toys in Babeland's selection of glass sex toys and accessories, the last thing you would have assumed was being served up next door at the HoneyHole was sandwiches! This place has a split personality as a sandwich hole by day and a bar by night, although The Gooch and Jack Daniels have been known to meet here during lunch hour. I order the Wave Rider, a quirky turkey sandwich with pesto, gouda and mustard?! You'll love it no matter what you order and you'll go back just for the city's best fries!!?
(4)
amber b.

so i ordered the dirt burger which was ok at best. it was more like bun with special guest veggie burger. though the actual pattie didn't seem to have any veggies in it. it was more like cheese and rice had a baby and they called it burger. my friend on the other hand got the vegan blt. she gave me a bite and it was amazing! i just stared at her eatting it green with envy. the moral of the story is.... get the blt
(3)
Naomi C.

This was quite the restaurant. It was a weird environment but the food was great. It was a huge serving size in my opinion. I got The Bandit. Some of the pieces of meat were huge but then again I have a small mouth. Overall, pretty well priced sandwich, very tasty. If you're around here, definitely check it out.
(4)
Janet T.

Delicious sandwiches on the hill. They have a large selection of sandwiches but I'd definitely go for the hot sandwiches....those are the best and you will not be disappointed!
(4)
jacob B.

I love the hon hole. Always good and fast and satisfying and beer is cold in a cold glass. I hate beer in a warm glass. It sucks. It's like getting a package in the mail from your nana and when you open it you realize she forgot to put anything inside. Or like fruitstripe gum. Totally starts out great then is just kinda... , ya know? Serious. Oh, they have cool stuff on the walls too.

ironballs m.

look, i love the hole, and everyone knows it. the food is very good. the decor is a bit whatevs. the music selection is almost always on point, except when that new kid insists on queen... lord, i hate queen. but often, it's classic americana and punk, and it's perfect for the hill and the clientele. but i'm really about the bar. and the bartenders. and the regulars, creepy as some of them may be. but the bartenders are some of the coolest people in the city, and they know a shitload about food. funny, sarcastic, and heavy-handed, the hole is certainly my favorite bar to sit around in. the guys that own the place are super friendly, and genuine. sandwich faves include the blt's, the gooch, the summer babe and the texas tease. i love these guys, and wish them the best.
(5)
Liam R.

The Honey Hole is loved by a few of my friends but after 5 tries I always leave disappointed. The HH always smells good, has great drinks and good vegetarian options. However the sandwiches are heavy on the (admittedly pretty good) bread and typically a little bland. Most (not all) of the staff rocks the aloof "I'm too cool for school" attitutde, but the space nor the peeps are cool or ironic enough to work it. If you're gonna make me feel like I have to meet YOUR standards, you better bring the tasty. The space itself is indeed eccentric... but not in a really good or bad way. It is also cramped. But clearly, there's lotsa love out there for the HH and I appreciate local small businesses so it's probably worth a try. Just don't take in too much of the hype.

a lot of time when a restaurant get a high review it doesn't always impress. this is one of those great discovery that makes yelping worthwhile! Service = no complaint Ambiance = great location, though easy to miss, love that fact they service alcohol! dark, cute, and opens till 2 am. love it! Food = got the turkey Havarti, French Baguette makes the sandwich. Awesome, not to heavy and just enough flavor, Fries slightly thicker then the typical fries, but maintains a nice batter and crunch! Crowd = mostly locals Price = $ Favorite = almost to perfect to be true! Worst = no complaints here! Final Say = great filler for the odd hours of Salumi

Red Riding H.

The service here SUCKS. It's either slow or it's rude, maybe both. The food is...meh. A bit pricey. There are other places I'd rather blow cash.

Molly S.

SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!!!! I walk by this so many times a week on my way home from work and I have to force myself NOT to go in because it always smells so good!!! They're food is amazing, but I would certainly have a heart attack if I ate there every day. Probably one of the best places for food on the hill. And the fact that they have beer and booze makes it that much better. I have yet to go there for the nightlife but will surely be doing so in the future. Definitely one of my favorites!
(5)
c g.

Previously I would have given the honey hold a 4 star review. With the menu changes they have made though, and my past few experiences I'd give it more 2-3 stars. They dropped all my favorite dishes from the updated menu and the other items I've tried have been on the pretty greasy side. Fries are still great though as are the drinks..Like to vibe and decor of the place - would still eat here but its no longer one of my top choices.

kim m.

Honey Hole is my second home here in this lovely town. Ever since my first visit there maybe 8 years ago when I got the waverider I was hooked! I have been there possibly 1,000 times now and I love it everytime. French fries are amazing. Love Love Love the chachi's favorite with a few special changes, add some peppercinis on soughdough. Yum Yum! ??The Veggie BLT is awsome. And their pickles are to die for! I always ask for extra cause I can never get enough. The atmosphere is great, and they serve a mean dirty shirly (a shirly temple with vodka) I give this place a huge 2 thumbs up!

Amazing sandwiches. The "danny boy" Wednesday special is the best. I like the hot sandwiches better than cold for some reason. The Club tasty is just too much for me. The decor rocks and their fries are delicious. Sometimes it takes awhile on lunch hour.

Jessi B.

back when i was the sales assistant in my department, a series of lunch meetings started up and i was asked to order food. despite the lack of a delivery option, i went with the honey hole because they make a damn fine sammich and it gave me an excuse to leave the premeses for a while. (not to mention i could buy lunch for myself while i was up there...) accolades came flowing in from all around. after every meeting, our rep was sure to stop by and mention how much the guys loved the sandwiches and thank me for choosing the place. but after a while, the group had got their momentum going and decided to continue the meetings via teleconference. last week, after over a month of teleconferences, our rep came by and asked us to order up some honey hole box lunches. apparently, the guys missed their sandwiches so much they unanimously voted to go back to holding lunch meetings. additional notes: the guy who works the register has always been on his game and really nice. every single time. he helped us carry the big box o' lunches to the car today. he seriously rocks.

Guy S.

I go to Seattle about once a year to visit friends. Last summer when I went, they took me to this sandwich place. It's a very indie looking sandwich place. We went twice. One day I had the Spicoli: Smoked turkey, hummus, Havarti, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and red onion on a fresh French roll. The other day I had the Wave rider: Smoked turkey, pesto sauce, red onion, roasted red peppers, tomato, and smoked Gouda on a fresh French roll. Both were absolutely delicious! I cant wait to go back again and try another sandwich.

micaela r.

this place was a-ok, just fine. we sat at the teeny l-shaped bar (tables take up the majority of this place, but we were not eating) and had some pints. they had about 6 beers on tap and lots of liquors -- not too bad for such a teeny bar. we kept commenting on how efficient the bartender was and thought that he should work at a more crowded, faster-paced bar. he was doing so many jobs and so quickly, he looked bored. this place has a big food menu, with lots of sandwiches that seemed to be overly priced. i did not eat there, so can't say for sure; maybe they are the best ever?
(3)
Mork M.

Not particularly an amazing sandwich (ordered something with seitan and mustard with a forgettable name), decent fries, good beer. I don't like to pay for atmosphere which I think was the case, for 8.25 they're on the steep side with a smallish accompaniment of fries and a pickle. Nevertheless its good and has that wonderful thing called happy hour.

Lisa V.

I remember my friend Becky taking me here for the 1st time. We went to the gym and worked out...and then we were craving a good sandwich. It was a rainy sort of day, flat & gray... and we tucked ourselves inside the Honeyhole for some good sandwich-ness. Delish. I had the Gouch. Yes, all the names are funny. I think they were just adding a full bar when I last went there too. Enjoy a cult favorite called the Honeyhole!
(5)
A. V.

im really not sure why im only "yelping" about this now. where do i begin? ummm..well im obsessed with HONEYHOLE! if i lived in seattle i think id eat there everyday!!!!!!!!! i think its called the gooch but its the best sandwich on the menu. the bbq chicken is good but the gooch is better. ive also had the luke duke which is the meatball sandwich and its the best meatball sandwich ive ever sad. their fries are amazing too. their the thick cut ones. but they taste delicious. and the last time i was there i got a pounder of olympia. i think i got it cause it was super cheap something like $3 and it was a definite steal! not the best beer in the world, olympia, but hot damn, $3 yea ill take it. they have other beers on draft, i just didnt care to look cause this one was $3. but anyways uh get the gooch its GREAT!
(5)
Lola G.

After a show, some friends and I stopped here. It was not very late, but we were the only ones there. Probably because the bartender was a total rude jackass. The mixed drinks sucked (how can you screw up a rum & coke?), and the bartender was a total rude jackass.

Where...Glory Hole? No, Honeyhole on Pike...between the dildo store and the witch shop. I love this place...been going here since day one and the menu hasn't changed all that much. Great sandwiches with funny names (the Chachi, the Spicoli), great fries and a cute little bar in the corner. A nice break off the Pine St. crawl.

Good place to stop by before wandering around capitol hill. They have your basic sandwich list and all very fresh. Good place to chill and read also.

Brad B.

This place is such a shame. Fresh produce, decent meat, above average bread. But they're all a bunch of over toasters. You can't toast my sub so much that it crunches loudly and crumbles and flakes as you bite into it. If you plan to go around lunch time during the week be prepared to stand in line for at least 20 min. Seating seems somewhat limited and it appears they could make better use of the limited amount of space they have. To sum it up they are overcrowded overtoasters!

Nice little sandwich shop that doubles as a bar. The sandwiches (hot or cold) are good, about $5.75 for a large..add $1.95 for fries and a soda. The decor makes for a funky and cozy time. (they have salads and soups too, plus a really large veggie sandwich section)

just got a cobb salad from the honeyhole. while good and edible - lettuce, avocado, bacon, eggs, tomato, turkey, and blue cheese - i'm disappointed that the salad is not fresh. looks like it was made a while ago and just pulled out of the fridge to be served. and i had to wait for it. if it was going to be pre-made out of a fridge, i should have been able to order, receive, pay and leave. and i don't like the strange liquid at the bottom of the container that gathered from all the ingredients just sitting there (probably from the sliced tomato). the avocado definitely looks like it was sliced a while ago. boo :(

I love the Honey Hole! Best sandiwches ever! Love love love! I eat there whenever I can justify it!

Best specialty sandwich shop I've ever been too and it has a cool Seattle vibe. Wait staff isn't very attentive, usually need to flag them down, but they are really nice and accommodating once you get them. Been there several times and have had great experiences every time.

I have only had The Dirtburger and I absolutely LOVE IT. It's a veggie patty with mayo, mustard, lettuce, some other stuff, Tillamook cheddar cheese on a whole grain bun. I usually don't like veggie burgers, but they magically make these guys delicious. Their french fries are also really good and the only thing that sucks about them is that they don't have milkshakes to dip them in (because they would be perfect for that!).

These sandwiches are great. When it got to my table I couldn't even finish it. So big and juicy. A nice spot to go and have some drinks as well. Those cooks have mad sammitch making skills (sammitch is the new name for the highest quality sandwich). I recommend everyone get a sammitch there.

Real good - sandwiches made to order, yummy french fries. Plenty of great vegetarian options - both hot and cold sammies.

I work downtown but I'm tired of the same old same old. Found the good reviews for Honey Hole and a friend I decided to bus up there and grab lunch. We weren't disappointed... First off, it was a comfy place with kind of "punk-ish" but ultimately mainstream music (I remember Talking Heads for instance). Prices were reasonable and lots of choices. We both ordered a hot sandwich and agreed the roll was perfectly toasted and the toppings were flavorful and plentiful. The Chachi is great if you like turkey and ranch dressing and the Texas Tease is good for a BBQ chicken fix. I can't wait to try out some of the other options! But I'll skip the coleslaw next time - it was kind of bland.

Christel W.

Really good sandwiches. Plenty of vegetarian options (but not much vegan stuff to pick from, so I pretty much just suffer through the cheese since none of them would be as good without it). They always have the best smelling barbeque sauce aroma pouring out onto the sidewalk. It's kind of loud inside for me, musicwise, and the service is less than spectacular.They aren't rude, just not that attentive. I go once in a while, but not all the time, even though they are less than a block from where I live.

A+ cheap tasty sandwiches for every one. cheap drinks and their fries are killer. I love decor with oak tables and red xmas lights. When all else fails this is always my back up plan. i can't imagine any one not liking this place for what it is.
(5)
R M.

I've only ever had their vegan BLT- but it's good enough that I'm happy to eat it over and over again. I like coming in the afternoon for a late lunch when it's slower, or for an early dinner on Sunday. Their bread is fantastic- so crunchy it rips holes in your mouth- but in a good way. It's good pain, I promise. Fries and a beer are the perfect compliment. My only complaint is that ordering can be confusing- as it always seems to be different depending on the day and time.

Kick butt decor- fun and funky! I love that there is a mini cantina in the back. Plus it has a happy hour... random but I lmade sure to make a mental note. I tried this place with a bunch of DECA students in professional dress on a conference break. The sandwiches were hard to choose from- imagine a bunch of 14 in dress clothes starring blankly at a bored with an air of uncertainty. When I narrowed my sandwich to hot or cold variety- took freakin forever because everything sounded so good and I was trying to get the most amount of food for the least amount of money- it was easier to decide. Everyone loved their order and we ordered just about every sandwich on the menu. Most who ordered the whole sandwich had to take it to go or scarf it down as leave time approached. The kids loved that they got so many fries and I loved that I should have ordered a half not whole even though it look small because I was full part way into the excursion... especially if next time I ventured to the meat side. This shop is random looking on the outside, but great on the inside with pretty chill workers that dealt with with my indecisive questioning students. Better sandwiched then most anyplace I have been so far- ranks up there with Tubs Sub Firecracker Chicken.

This is a fun place to meet friends for an affordable, out-of-the-ordinary sandwich. Been several times and it's always been good!

Awesome sandwiches here. I just wish I was in Capital Hill during the day more often so I could try more.

Sarah S.

this was a superb find. its in a great location (at least for me, not sure if everyone would agree, but walking distance from my home adds stars every time for me). the beer selection is also rock solid as are all the sandwiches that i have tried. there are more than 2 veggie options which is also a plus. the decor is fun and interesting, so even if you date/friends suck, you can just stare at the walls and entertain yourself.

Mee Y.

Why is this sandwich place called Honey Hole? JW... Anyway, a total satisfying, hot-sandwich-thirst-quencher. Never diasppointed tummy. YAY for convenient "Lunch Pails" The two sandwiches I always go for: Bandit - smokey BBQ beef brisket with cheddar cheese on french roll. Oozing with delicious bbq sauce. OR Buford Justice - tangy pulled pork with lightly sweet bbq sauce on french roll. This one oozes with a orangey oil... but the delish kind. ;) I would like to try other sandwiches but it's a battle choosing between these two already!

Please allow me to preface this review by stating, emphatically, I'm not a sandwich eater. Just not my bag. Despite that, based primarily on reviews (ok, ok, AND the name), we decided to give this a try for lunch while vacationing in Seattle. When we arrived, I surprised even myself by ordering The Gooch (my husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich; i forget the name). (We followed what others in front of us were doing since we'd never been there before, regarding ordering procedure). I happily sipped a Manny's while waiting for our food; it probably took about 10 minutes from order to delivery. The sandwiches were OUTSTANDING. I detest black pepper, yet the The Gooch is heavily seasoned w/black pepper, and I STILL devoured each and every bite, it was that good. I think what really made the sandwich for me was the demi baguette. It was slightly toasted, yet still soft and a bit chewy, perfect for eating. I'd eat here again, and not *just* because of the name :)

Andrea J.

How have I not reviewed a place that has contributed so much to the paunch around my middle? I get the same damn thing here every time, El Guapo, and fries. I've tried the Texas Tease, and the Waverider, but El Guapo is true to its name--that is one handsome sandwich. Handsome except that when you're done eating it, your hands and face are slathered with ranch sauce and melted cheese and your napkin is so soaked with sauce you have to get a new one. And thank goodness for the long waits for food during lunch as it just lets me take a longer break with my coworkers. I may complain about the wait, but only because I'm dying a little inside each moment I don't have french fries.
(4)
Michael K.

First: Saturdays open at 11 AM NOT 10, so don't get all psyched up. Second: YUM!!! First visit, had read the menu online and seemed to have good combinations for their sandwiches, and since we've mined the area we work in to death, time to branch further afield. Cool kinda dive bar vibe. Yes, like the other reviews say, the bar is in a tiki hut, feather boas support the lamps, Keith Richards VERY large face oversees all. Ordered the Gooch, basically French Dip with Tillamook Cheddar, red onions and nicely hot horseradish mayo on a demi baguette. Snarfed that down and will be back for more, maybe the Buford T. Justice. Soup & sandwiches at lunch, more at dinner (REALLY need to see what they can do to a burger). Can't wait to try it again!!

Annie A.

If this review were based solely on the food, it would be seven stars. The sandwiches are to die for and the fries rival any I've had (I like crispy fries and they manage to get even stake fries crispy). The only reason this is four stars is that Honey Hole is so popular (during lunch time especially) that you'll end up waiting 20-30min for your order. If this is an issue for you, try to go before noon or after 2:30. Also, since this is a hole-in-the-wall place, it's not huge. But I have never found that to be a real problem.

Eric M.

HH has to be my favorite sandwich place in the Seattle area. The buns are toasty, the fries are fantastic, the ingredients are slightly unusual but well matched and I never seem to have trouble finding a seat even though it's usually pretty busy. I like the interior a lot and HoneyHole is also a good place to see some fresh ink. Go hungry - did I mention the fries??? :)
(5)
Tom N.

Meh, tried their the bandit? It was pretty good, I can't believe I finished the whole thing and I was full for the past 7 hours, which is rare on broadway's food. The next week, I tried the dude, I only ate half because the steak tasted so grilled and somewhat burnt and made my whole day bad. I was thinking maybe the burnt taste gave me this horrible headache and I will not go back there again! The place is really nice though, a ancient 50s theme and rock music and the employees seems to get along really well since they were chatting most of the time! It was a slow morning though, so I forgive them for lazy service

Dominic A.

OK... this is my first 5 Star rated place. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the HoneyHole! My faves are whatever the soup of the day is... and its always different and amazing! the FRIES... yum. The Corleone (which is their pastrami sandwhich), and the BLT.
(5)
Annie Y.

I took a right on Pike and walked onto Berkley. This sweet sandwich bar reminds me so much of Berkley, CA that I almost want to break out my tie dye shirt. The vibe is so chill and relaxed. My favorite place to get my buzz. The sandwiches are AMAZING! Some might even argue best fries in Seattle but I say that crown is too heavy to be adorned by just any frites. No coronation from this foodie. My reviews are brief and simple so I'll just get to the point MVP 1) Waverider 2) Gooch 3) Spicoli **Should be enjoyed with a pounder of Manny's Pale Ale**
(5)
Tom And Sandra G.

Delicious!! We loved the Fast Eddie and Corleone. Sooo good! We're obviously not the first to discover the place -- heavy lunch/dinner traffic the entire time -- but it was our first time and we'll be back for sure!! Will be running back for the Fast Eddie!!
(5)
Erin F.

Decently busy when I stopped by on a Monday afternoon (no line but most of the tables were full), I wasn't too sure what to expect. It took about ten minutes for my hot sandwich to come out, but goodness... So delicious! The Gooch was the special, with hot sliced tri-tip, melted cheddar, red onion, horseradish mayo and au jus. The bread was toasted but soft inside, and the mayo was super spicy - which I love! The fellows working were the friendliest hipsters on the hill. And there's a bar! I'll be back!
(5)
Sonya L.

The Spicoli is to die for. It's converted me into a true HoneyHole fan. And the fries are amazingly perfect and salty. Sitting at the bar gave us better service than sitting at a table, though you'd think I wouldn't need to ask for more water when the bartender can clearly see I need some...? Overall I've decided I quite like this little place. Hit it up at the right time of night and you'll get quick service and an awesome sandwich.

Spencer D.

I've been to Seattle twice and have thusly been to the HoneyHole twice as well. The first time was delicious and this second time was equally as delicious, if not more. I had the Texas Tease and my boyfriend had the Waverider. Mine was very simple, pulled chicken and barbecue sauce with onions (sans cheese). It was delicious. I'm not such a huge fan of mixing a bunch of sauces (because they tend to end up tasting like a mix McDonald's would make) but the Waverider was also delicious when I tried it. This place is definitely a place worth visiting. This time I went a little bit late for lunch so it wasn't all too crowded. Last time, however, I went right about lunch time and it was VERY crowded so choose your time to go wisely. I'll probably come back here every time I'm in Seattle. I love this place.

Olive G.

The last time I went here (most likely the last time I will ever go here) I found raw, yes raw, bacon in my salad. Aside from the fact that I am a vegetarian and it totally grossed me out, I believe there are serious health implications involved in eating raw meat. I was nice about telling the waitress what happened, but she didn't seem like she gave a crap. I got a new salad, but apparently she did not think this warranted an apology. Not cool.
(2)
Lauren B.

Very yummy pulled pork sandwich (aka the Texas Tease)! Nice bread for it, too. And Reed's ginger ale, yum! There's generally a wait, but that's okay. For some reason I never feel comfortable in their small booths, but you can get it to go, so it's all good.

Simple, delicious, vegetarian options that hit-the-spot. We came here for a sandwich late night on a Thursday night, and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. I got the Belissimo, which was wonderful. It was a vegetarian field-roast with goat cheese, onions, banana peppers, and basil. Yum. My father ordered the veggie BLT, and he really liked it too. The fries were perfectly cooked, completely ungreasy, and so good that we order an additional small plate of them. There were also some good local brews, and we enjoyed some Belgian White and some Manny's Ale while we dined. Some very friendly folks were sitting at the neighboring table. Great time overall. This is not a haute-cuisine venue. It's a simple, local, delicious bar-food place. For that, it's five stars. Would order a veggie sandwich here anyday. There are five (5) vegetarian sandwiches on the menu. Bravo! It turns out that -- at least with the Belissimo -- it is expertly prepared and perfectly balanced. Recommended.

Chris S.

It's hard to decide whether the Gooch or the Fast Eddie is my favorite this week. And who doesn't love the name HoneyHole. I guess the only gripe I have is that its all too small in there, other than that HoneyHole...I love you.

Caitlyn P.

I love honeyhole. The sandwiches here were a staple to me when I was vegetarian! The veggie BLT is so good! Sometimes you have to wait for a seat, but it's worth it for their awesome food and cheap beer.

August L.

Delicious and fun! Creative, tasty and strong cocktails. A great selection of meals, including an entire section of vegetarian options including veggie 'chicken' with BBQ sauce and onions, field roast with pesto and goat cheese, and a veggie BLT. Thank you for not relegating us to boring the ubiquitous grilled cheese! I'd go back in a second. We were there on a Saturday night and it was busy with a nice energy in the room. We were there about 8pm and didn't have to wait to be seated, but that might have been pure luck. Yum!

Here is the scenario, you have spent hours walking up and down some of Seattle's coolest neighbourhoods and are hit with an intense feeling of hunger, but look around only to find sex shops with inedible items on display. Suddenly you figure out that the Honeyhole does not deal in pliable rubber toys, but deliciously fresh sandwiches. Yes Virginia there is a santa claus! The food here is great. You will find perfectly marinated pulled pork,beef, and chicken sandwiches served on amazingly fresh tasting bread. Whether you are a tourist, preppy SU kid, or Capitol Hill Grunge-ite once you taste this food you will be in love.
(5)
Andy F.

Honeyhole makes tasty sandwhiches, and they are big and full of ingredients. But honestly I'm getting tired of seeing the same menu. I don't think it's changed in five years. The names of the sandwhiches greet me like sitcom characters from a show that's been in re-runs for a long time. The Goch! The Lotta! It would be cool if they could come up with a seasonal or monthly special. Something CRAZY that we've never seen before. Maybe turkey with lettuce and cranberry for Thanksgiving. Right? The place gets really crowded, so if you're meeting someone there for lunch you may want to show up early to stake out a table. There can be more people than tables.

I first wandered into Honey Hole before I had officially moved to Seattle and I was still checking out the lay of the land. I came late at night and found an unassuming establishment that served up tasty sandwiches and stiff drinks. After moving here, I found myself popping by for lunch on occasion and always found that the sandwiches hit the spot and that the staff were quick. Unfortunately, my most recent visit didn't stay true to that pattern. Honey Hole's menu offers a large selection of warm and cold sandwiches and the portions are quite big (I'm set with a half). As I normally do, I ordered the Waverider, which is a turkey, pesto, red onion and cheese creation. You have to request mayo or mustard or whatever and since there was pesto on my sandwich, I declined having any more condiments. Mistake. My sandwich was so, so dry. I ended up picking at the bread trying to get rid of some of the dryness. My friend who ordered a sandwich that was not toasted also had the same problem. Dry and bland. The service wasn't as speedy as I recalled and it was hard finding a table to sit at since there were many tables left unbussed and crumb covered. I wouldn't say I'd be opposed to coming back, but I definitely wouldn't pick the spot on my own.

Great place. Try pastrami sandwich. Proper bread and salty fries......Nice people and great shit hanging from the walls and ceiling....Give it a try and by the way great name....the honey hole and it's not a strip club

Arry Y.

This used to be my favorite place for sandwiches... but the last experience was so-so I'm a sandwich snot - sue me - it's an east coast thing. I swear if I opened a sandwich place, there'd be a line out the door... the west coast just doesn't have as many good ones. The go-to items at HoneyHole: 1. Shzaam (for the non-meat eater egg lover in you). 2. The Gooch (dip it, eat it, repeat). 3. French fries rock here. I used to like their Misty-Isle burger... but now it's not available at lunch time. Bummer.
(4)
Jen V.

I went here for the first time today. The staff were great and friendly. It was really busy, but they were still attentive. My vegetarian sandwich was ridiculously delicious! My boyfriend was happy with his meat sandwich as well. I took a star off because my salad left much to be desired. The leaves were wilted and there were way too many red onions on the salad.
(4)
Rachel A.

Last week, I snuck a quick to-go meal from HH into a 30 minute pre-theater window. The kitchen wasn't greased lightening, but they didn't make us late, either. Props. My vegetarian "BLT" was good, although I can think of several places that do it better (Bleu comes to mind). Fries were so good that they brought the whole meal up another notch. I find the tiki kitsch decor slightly horrifying. I mean, think about how much dust is lurking in the feather lamps that are dangling RIGHT OVER YOUR FOOD. I am down with dirty dive bars, because alcohol sanitizes everything (amiright??) But creepy dust-traps and food? Blerg!

I've been craving a bit, meaty, filling sandwich for time and finally was walking by, famished at 9:00PM....and total score. I had the DUDE and it was dude-licious. Ha ha ha... but really it was tasty.... all the flavors were represented and it was meaty, cheesy, sweet-hot mustard deliciousness. And the fries were perfectly golden and crispy and the $0.50 for the ranch was totally worth it. The ranch rocked. Everything was great. The service was attentive and quick and 2 HUGE sandwiches, sides, nonalcoholic drinks, tax, tip for $30 bones. Good food, good service, good value.
(4)
Katie W.

Great sandwiches! If you like a good reuben, you've got to get the Corleone. It was fantastic, but got a little heavy by the end. My husband got the Dude and it was delicious as well. The best part of this place would have to be their late night hours! We had a late lunch the day so we didn't get hungry for dinner till almost 10 pm. It so great to have an awesome sandwich place be open so late. Next time we're in Seattle we'll definitely be back!

Amanda H.

After walking all of downtown Seattle (twice), my husband and I decided to meander up to Capitol Hill for lunch. After the initial "sketchy" set of shops, we stumbled upon the HoneyHole. Jackpot! Best pulled pork sandwich I've EVER had!! The bread was fresh and the meat was scrumptious, the best lunch for a day of walking. Once you have a sandwich at the HoneyHole, no other sandwich will taste the same.
(5)
Denni S.

I love the HoneyHole. Awesome food (sandwiches are delicious!) and great drinks. For a small casual place, they are on it when it comes to service. Wait staff and bartenders are great no matter how packed it gets. On our last trip, we went on a busy Friday night. Love that they someone was taking names so you don't have to do that whole jockey for a table deal.

I just discovered this sandwich place and ordered the Fast Eddie - i just took one bite and fell in love! Best Sandwich of my life! And I just did take out! Tip: Don't need fries! Sandwich is amazing without 'em!
(4)
Dan L.

The sandwiches that are created here are really good. But don't forget about the burgers! They cook them to perfection (actually leaving a little pink in the middle), and the toppings are top notch. Seating can be a little crazy during peak times, so be ready to wait a bit if you don't snag a table right away. The prices are reasonable and I really like the dive bar feeling that you get here. Pro Tip: If you are on with your S.O. stop by Babeland afterward.

Nathan S.

I went to the Honey Hole yesterday and ordered the Texas Tease with a side order of fries. It wasn't good. The fries weren't good, either. The sandwich was much too tangy to be considered proper bbq material. I took two bites and sent it back. No replacement sandwich. No questions about why I didn't finish the sandwich. Nothing. But, apparently they throw their garbage into a compost. That's very green of them. I doubt I'll return for a while.
(1)
Christopher T.

Oh man. These sandwiches. They're so effing good! I'm not sure how to describe them. Big, "casual gourmet", packed with delicious ingredients, often crammed with meat. I've had maybe 4 different sandwiches here, and every single one was terrific. The brisket and the barbecue are both great if you have them on any sandwich. The fries are gooooooood. Hot, crispy, and delicious. Get the fries. The atmosphere is hip. Small tables in a small room, which means it fills up fast at lunch or dinner. All of the staff seem pretty cool and friendly, and I get the feeling that they like working there. That makes me like eating there (even more). They have a bar. During they day you walk up to the counter and place your order. At night, the counter closes down and you order from the bar/wait staff. Prices are decent. $7 or $8 for a big, filling sandwich.

Jeff L.

Great selection of sandwiches; sitting can sometimes be hard to get by the vibe is chill. The staff is not the friendliest people but I do appreciate the tiki bar in the restaurant.

Thigh C.

We were here and all the tables are full. The attentive server approached and told us that we can wait at the bar for awhile. After 5 minutes, somebody left and there we go. What I like most is the bread of the sandwich. I like my bread usually soft but a little bit of crunch. My total liking. I ordered a turkey sandwich and the portion is actually very generous. I didn't like the coleslaw on the side that much. The fries are good. I didn't like the Moscow mule drink. Price is reasonable. What I didn't like about this place is that it's very noisy. I can tolerate people who talks loud (screaming) to big burst of laughter but their music is in competition! I can't even hear the words when my friends talk to me. On top of that, the place is quaint (and nice) but the noise is even more concentrated. Other than that, great sandwich. I'm not even sure if I'm going back though.

Koa M.

Order the gooch and enjoy! That really is all I can say. I love that sandwich. The staff is cool. the place while in Cap Hill is not to overloaded with hipster trash. I order to go only though and have never sat down inside to eat.
(5)
John E.

Not what I expected. This is a respectable sit-down-and-have-a-beer establishment. I had the Fast Eddie and fries. The fries were perfect, no really, perfect. I ordered to go, so I could walk the dog. They were super cool and friendly. The sandwich wasn't perfect for my taste, but that may be a preference thing. There was nothing wrong with it I'm getting a different sandwich next time, but I'd put these folks up against Salumi or Tats any day.

I like the atmosphere. Very Capitol Hill. Got The Gooch, and it was really good and very filling. Big plus, they were playing Elliott Smith.

We walked into Honeyhole last night and were seated by a nice young man when we walked in. About three minutes later another woman walked up to us and said "Oh, I'm sorry but I'm holding this table for someone." I informed her that we had been seated there when we came in. She went on to say "It must have been a miscommunication, but if the other people don't show up in 10 minutes, you can have that table." I work in customer service, and I can it imagine telling people who have already been seated that they have to vacate a table for someone else who isn't even in the restaurant, and you aren't even sure they are coking. Needless to say, we chose to eat somewhere else, and will choose to never go here again.
(1)
Leela S.

Love, love, love this place. Walk in, and you're greeted by a fun record playing and eye-catching posters adorning the walls. Super chill; super Seattle. I got the Waverider, and it was delicious! Turkey, gouda, and some heat (both in terms of temperature and spice): never before have I combined those three things, but consider me a fan now. Also, definitely get the fries. They're a couple of bucks extra, but they are the crispiest, crunchiest, most perfect fries I have had in a long time. The generous serving you get is worth every cent.

Honey Hole is such a great place that you would even want to take your mom there for dinner while she is in town visiting you. She may be skeptical at first, and wonder who goes out to eat sandwiches for dinner, and what kind of life are you even living in the city, but she'll probably be a good sport and just go with you anyway. The fact of the matter is that you can take your mom, or really anyone else to Honey Hole for dinner because even though it's a little spooky in there, and all they make are sandwiches, the sandwiches are perfect. The cocktails are tiny, beautiful dreams in a cup. The servers SEE that you are with your mom, and are especially courteous and patient with her as she continues to try to wrap her head around eating a sandwich for dinner underneath a photo of Sophia Loren throwing Jane Mansfield's ample bosom some apocalyptic side-eye. Eventually your mom's just going throw her hands up and pick a sandwich at random, and that will work out just fine, because there's just nothing there that isn't delicious to put in your mouth! By the end of the meal she will be a believer. Honey Hole; kid tested, mother approved.

Sam G.

So happy to find is place! They're open late so this place is perfect for a late night dinner or snack. I started dinner here with a gin martini made with curry and ginger simple syrup. OMG amazing, such a unique and delicious cocktail. We tried the gooch, the dude, French fires, and coleslaw. Everything was awesome. I loved the coleslaw, it had a light dressing, red onions, and some pineapple flavor. The gooch was my favorite of the 2 sandwiches, it has spicy roast beef, horseradish mayo, so good! Service was great too, we were seated right away, servers were friendly. My boyfriends sandwich was spilled when they brought out the meals, and they were quick to clean up the mess and get him a new sandwich.

This place makes great sandwiches! My bf and I needed a quick bite to eat, so didn't really have much time to research places. This place looked popular, so we gave it a shot. We were not disappointed! Our sandwiches were very flavorful, filling, and served to perfection. The meat was high quality, the bread perfectly toasted, and the condiments and toppings equally fresh. Yum. I ordered the Waverider (chicken, pesto, tomato, etc.) and the bf ordered something with brisket, sauerkraut, and mustard. PROS: 1. Delicious sandwiches. 2. The fries were pretty good too 3. The side salad was great--more than just lettuce, but it also had carrot slivers, cherry tomatoes, etc. 4. Friendly service. We were kind of high maintenance customers. A couple friends of ours happened to be dining there too so we moved tables to sit with them before our food came. We also were in a rush so we asked for our food to be boxed up soon after we got it. The waitress was very accommodating. 5. Eclectic art on the walls. (Scott Baio photo? What?) CONS: 1. A little on the slow side.

Honey Hole is That G Spot to Hit to Bust Out with one Juicy Delicious Sammy!! This is easily one of My Favorite Spots To Grab A Sammy with a Soda on the side. The menu full of FanTastic options have an Awesome Sammy!!! I was First Introduced to this HoneyHole by a friend after a night of RachetNess to PhillMyBelly and have loved this Pleasure Sensation Since!!! (BTW Urban Dictionary defination of HoneyHole: AKA "The Dark Honey Hole." The tunnel between a females legs, leading to eternal happiness. Always dark except for during pelvic exams, the honey hole is a favorite of many men.) Food: The Bandit- This is where it all started for me. You got Slow Smoked Painted Hills Beef Brisket so Good, that they should Start there own Barbie Q. Place called BARBIE Q's HONEY HOLE. Then Seattle could finally have some good Barbie Q. The Barbie Q. Sauce was lickin them fingers good, lickin the HoneyHole good, and even getting in Between the Nails good! Coleslaw was good to balance things out. The thing that I thought I wasn't gonna be a fan of in the Sandwich actually was a Star the Tillamook Cheddar Cheese. To me it sounds really weird having Cheddar Cheese go with Coleslaw, BBQ Sauce BO$$ and Brisket but somehow it all melts together with Love. The Demi Baguette that they use is so crispy on the outside, light and airy like Muffin Tops on the inside, and Perfectly Sucks up all the HoneyHole Goodness like a Mosquito. This is my Favorite Sammy here!! Buford T. Justice- Basically Same at the Bandit but with Pulled Pork and Pepper Jack Cheese good but The Bandit is much better. The Gooch- If a Philly Cheese Steak and a French Sandwich made love and had a Baby it would be this, The Gooch. The Tri Tip Meat is Tender as Coochi, makes sense since it Rhymes with The Gooch. The Chedda Cheese Melts and Ooozes on top of the Meat. One think I don't really like is how much Horseradish is used on this Sammy. I'm not to big on Horseradish and this Stuff is So Strong it Burn your Nose and makes your Face Go Numb. So I learned to ask for a Quarter of the amount or none at all. The Au Jus Sauce Could Be Better Though if it were Less Wattery and More Flavor.

I wish I could give this place 4.5 stars because it was THAT good. I had the Texas Tease with a side of fries. It was absolutely delectable. I really enjoyed the bbq sauce they use on the sandwich and the way they slice of the chicken. However, there were some pieces of chicken in my sandwich that was a little too dry for my liking but it was still very tasty. The fries were also pretty much near perfect. They were really fresh. It was all very. very tasty. Tasty enough where I didn't want to stop eating but I literally couldn't breathe! I will FOR SURE be back the next time I am in Seattle.

Holy cow! I was blown away by how delicious this place was. The tri-tip is on point! The beer selection is local and delicious. Highly recommended, especially for a late night snack.

Been to HoneyHole a dozen times - no idea why I am just now writing a review! There isn't a whole lot to say - the sandwiches are frickin fantastic, the beer is awesome, the environment and atmosphere is perfect. One thing I will elaborate a bit on, though, is their vegetarian menu. I am *not* a vegetarian... I love me some greasy meat of any color and don't mind admitting it. But I also love veg food and am always looking for places with awesome face-free offerings. Let me tell ya folks, the Field Roast these guys over at HoneyHole are using is laced with love or crack or something because now - meat eater that I am - I cannot order anything else off the menu! I have become a HoneyHole-specific vegetarian.

I'll keep this one simple: Great sandwiches with booze. Can't go wrong with that. I have yet to come here for happy hour, but this is my go to spot for awesome sandwiches. It's really close to my work, so I have cycled through pretty much all their menu items. I'm being completely honest when I say I loved every single sandwich I tried. My top 3 favorites: BLT, the Gooch (with delicious salty au jus that I could drink), and the Waverider. Get your sandwich with a side of fries for $2, it's an absolute must. Their fries are crunchy, meaty, and delicious with a side of their garlic aoili (Careful with the garlic breath, that stuff is gnarly in the best way possible). The restaurant is a small space but they work with it cleverly and it's actually a really nice atmosphere to be in. Kinda hipster, but it's cap hill, what do you expect. All in all, great food with great prices and great people. HoneyHole is bomb dot com.

Wow, somehow I've forgotten to review this place in the 2 years I've been going here. I love HoneyHole! The sandwiches are so good. I've tried lots of them and they are pretty much all awesome. I'm not a vegetarian anymore but there are a lot of good veg options here. Usually I've been here for lunch, where you order at the counter and then they bring your food out to you. I came here at night a few days ago, which had table service instead. It felt a bit awkward though - like that just doesn't feel like how this place should be set up. Prices are also more expensive at night although the meal includes a side (fries, coleslaw, soup) whereas those are sold separately at lunch. AND, they have the Thing 2 Chicken Burger at night (chicken, bacon, avocado, cheddar, ranch, tomato, red onion) which is one of the best things I've eaten in recent memory. O_O They have a good local beer selection. Last time I had a Odin Viking Gold Pale Ale, which was delicious. I have to give it 5 stars because I somehow mysteriously end up here every time I'm in the area even if that wasn't my original plan.

Cool little place. It's pretty small and the tables are packed together, so it makes for a loud atmosphere. But the food is good. Definitely good burgers and sandwiches. Ill definitely come back if I'm in the mood for a solid burger.

We ate at honey hole last weekend. We ordered the gooch and the wave rider after reading the yelp reviews. Of the two sandwiches, the gooch was much tastier. The French dip is good, but not the best I've ever had. Houston's is better, but there's no Houston's here in Seattle. Despite all the rave reviews we didn't love the wave rider. The turkey is thicker and not thinly sliced like boars head deli meat. Not sure I would order this again - but that's just me.

Michelle Y.

Unpretentious, reliable, go-to place with hearty vegetarian options, and open late every day. Have a beer or cocktail from the bar with your sandwich -- I go for the Emilio Pestovez (say it with a straight face - with Field Roast) or the Juke (bbq "chicken" - why would anyone want the real thing after this). All of the above are enough to keep me coming back, but with their bread on the sandwiches and fries even delicious, you know they've got things fine-tuned. Love finding reliable veg food that won't feel like a night out on your wallet.

What's not to like? Small, crowded, chaotic during lunch...yep. But the menu provides for carnivore and veg-ite, with some wonderful flavors at work in generous portions. Attracts a wonderful range of clientele...hipsters, construction guys from the endless building activities, families with kids (very borderline on kid-friendly) and old coots...like me.

If you were to tell me that this place made awesome sandwiches (as well as vegetarian sandwiches), I probably would not believe you at first. Who knew that quality food could be found in between Babeland and a Wiccan magic bookstore of some sort? I have walked on Pike St over and over, and previously ignored HoneyHole. My honest mistake. I walked in and I thought I was walking into a sÃ©ance in progress. This restaurant is very dark with rather eclectic wall decor. Eventually, you'll get used to it. Or you will forget about it entirely as your eyes gaze upon other people's sandwiches, and wonder if these are the types of foods that compel people to spontaneously break out in song and dance. Service was friendly for the two minutes that he took my order. There is limited seating here, and this place gets pretty busy for lunch. It also took a good 10-15 minutes before I received my order. Noise level can get a little bit loud, too, so you will find yourself wanting to talk over others just to talk with your friend/colleague/partner. This wasn't a big deal to me, as I only want to believe that they are spending extra time perfecting their sandwiches with magical unicorn extract. Not a big meat or cheese fan, I went with the Bellissimo sandwich sans cheese. I know, to the average person, anything without cheese sounds incredibly uninspired and bland. Trust me, it wasn't. I rarely ever find a good, vegan sandwich until I met the Bellissimo. Let alone toasted and warm. On a hot demi-baguette, there is sensually smoked tomato field roast, voluptuous roma tomatoes, sautÃ©ed onions, sexual banana peppers, fresh basil, passionately lathered with red pepper mayonnaise and a splash of red wine vinegar. Can you say aphrodisiac? This sandwich was highly seasoned, flavorful, and the peppers were the perfect touch. Because it wasn't 2013 at the time, and I hadn't set my resolutions, I ordered a side of fries for the hell of it. It was perfectly crispy and lightly salted, which only added to its perfection. This was a great lunch. I've also found my go-to salon a couple of blocks away from HoneyHole, so I will be frequenting this spot more often in the future.

Granted I've only been in Seattle a short time and still have yet to try Paseo and Salumi but with that said Honey Hole is at the top of my sandwich list (to date). Went on a Monday around 9pm so it was easy to get a seat. Food - I know they have other things on the menu but you go for the sandwiches. My friend and I split the Buford T. Justice and the Fast Eddie. Both damn good. Can't wait to try the others. Service - friendly. Atmosphere - it's a low key, pseudo-divey vibe (in the good way). The decor is eclectic. There are paper mache fish hanging from the ceiling along with framed photos from the God Father and my personal favorite a photo of Scott Baio. Go. It's worth it. I'm looking forward to going and trying their various sandwiches and nightly specials.

Karen L.

Mmmmmmm... The sandwiches here are freaking huge, savory, and delicious!! I had the Gooch, and the BF had the Fast Eddie. Both were delicious, but I preferred the Fast Eddie and the BF preferred the Gooch, ha. Needless to say, we switched. Both had tri-tip beef, though, and the meat was tender and flavorful. And I loved the toasted baguette. I can't wait to come back to try their other sandwiches!

The Justine sandwich is the best thing ever. Perfectly tangy BBQ tender pork. Mouth watering.

Was looking for a place on Pike with good drinks and food, and stumbled upon this place. What a find! Had a decent beer selection, but I had the whiskey ginger, which they made with Reed's Ginger Beer - yum! Had their veggie chilli cheese fries and it absolutely hit the spot on a night out. Definitely a place I would check out to try out more of their menu.

Steve D.

Outrageously good sammies; perfect fries crisp, thick-cut and hot. Free soda refills. Random decor.

Lisa B.

The bread's the best part of the sandwich, and all in all it's one of the best places in Cap Hill for a beer and sandwich at the bar or to grab a little picnic for the park. Do they have half-sizes here? Because a whole sandwich was way too much for me. I also find their BBQ sauce a little too sweet. Next time I would probably try the turkey havarti because I believe you can bet better BBQ. Late lunch time on the weekends gets crowded - be prepared to wait for a table or get your food to-go.

The fries are excellent, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and flaky on the inside. We got the Bellisimo and the Gooch. We were both incredibly pleased. I would come again.

Solid sand which and a pint for $12. I'll take it any day. I had a pastrami sandwich that was on special. Just the right amount of mustard and the pastrami itself had a really good flavor. I'll be back.

This place seems super hipster, but don't be shy because there is something for everyone. If you are looking for a hot sandwich, it will be hard to find one better than the HoneyHole. The sandwiches here are very unique and the flavors are paired well together. My husband and I shared The Gooch and The Fast Eddie. Both were tri tip and both were delicious but don't get the Gooch if you don't like horseradish because it is very strong. The tri tip is very tender and the cheese is melted just right. The bread makes or breaks a sandwich and HoneyHole scores big with their bread. The bread is crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside...but not too soft that it falls apart before you finish your sandwich. I'd recommend ordering fries with your sandwich because sides are not included with your sandwich and I wish I had just a little something more with my meal.

Had The Gooch and The Buford T. Justice. The Gooch is my favorite by far! In fact it is one of the best damn sandwiches I've ever had. The fries are golden and crispy as well! The perfect crispy crunch, even better with the ranch! Wanting to try the Fast Eddie next and The Waverider is an office favorite. There are some downers, would give it a 4.5 if I could because of: -It takes15-20 to make one sandwich, they are crowded! I input lunch orders before for 3-10 sandwiches and I've also called ahead to order 1 sandwich and I've at minimum have had to wait 5 minutes. That's with me arriving 5 minutes after said time and waiting a few minutes in line. The place is packed so obliviously me and others are willing to forgive because of the quality of food. -Cramped quarters. Wouldn't dream of trying to find a seat during lunch rush for more that 2 people. Just waiting to pick up food you feel like you are stepping on each other's toes. -Automatically charging tip for orders over $50 then giving me side-eye when I fail to tip an extra 20%. Grat is a 1$ a sandwich, not a lot but if total is 70$ and I give you an extra $9 instead of $14 when you already charged me $5 shouldn't be an issue.

I don't usually write reviews for cities I'm just visiting, but HoneyHole was amazing. Unfortunately I was only in Seattle for a couple of mid-week nights and was consequently not expecting much night life. However, I loved the entire feel of HoneyHole. The Fast Eddie sandwich was one of the best I have ever had. That is not hyperbole: no other sandwich in recent memory was as good as HoneyHole's Fast Eddie. Period. The beer selection was also very good. I'm not too familiar with West Coast Beers so the bartender made some suggestions. I was pleased with the result. The bar was on the smaller size. The tables are set close together and there isn't a large amount of standing room. Since this was a Wednesday night, it wasn't an issue. The people in the bar seemed very relaxed. I was worried my friend was going to take me someplace overly trendy where I would have to worry about my clothes and if I was up to date on WSJ editorials, but that was not the case. I was thoroughly impressed with HoneyHole.

A vegan/vegetarian heaven for sandwich options - however I didn't think any of them were extraordinary. There isn't a great seating option for large groups, so I wouldn't suggest going with a group larger than 5. Decent beer selection. I wish I had more specific things to say about the place.

Christen g.

While it seems a touch pricey for sandwiches and fries it's worth it. This place is just divey that your parents would think it ,"has colour." A must do on the hill. Read the menu - they roast, smoke and grille their own meats. As a (mostly) vegetarian, I always get The Juke - fake chicken with incredible BBQ sauce, banana peppers and cheddar. Their fries are the best in town. Splurge for the ranch.
(4)
Emma F.

Greasy, super filling, average grinder. The absolute best drunk food of all time hands down. You can also get decent beer here to get drunk with. Still, this is nothing special and given that they are in an area with such a large variety of restaurants I would suggest going elsewhere unless you are really hankering for a fatty sandwich or of the drunken persuasion.

Leah K.

The best sandwich I have found in Seattle, and I'm straight up Joey from Friends. I loooove sandwiches. They have booze, and a great location. And every single time I go there, I have a model as a server. That doesn't hurt the experience at. all.

Kathy C.

I've always wanted to try honeyhole, but never got around to it - so one day, i decided to order a couple of sandwiches to go for dinner. I wanted to order the corelone and burford justice but they were out of the corelone, so I went for the gooch. I didn't know what to expect when i picked up the sandwiches, but was definitely satisfied as soon as i took the first bite. I had the burford justice and bf had the gooch. Mine was hearty and spread with just the right amount of bbq sauce. The gooch was spilling meat! Their au jus was also yum but a bit on the salty side. All in all, we were happy and very very full...wish it wasn't so messy. I'm looking forward to trying the corelone!

HoneyHole was the first stop on a Seattle sandwich excursion. My party of 4 showed up around 9 on a Friday night and the place was packed! We got on a list and moved outside to wait. I don't think the server expected us to wait for a 4 top. He popped his head out the door several times to apologize for the wait with a look of surprise that we were still there waiting. It took over an hour for a table to open up although the server did find us room to wait at the bar after 30-40 minutes. Our friends that brought us said that they have never waited that long for a table so I think it may have been just bad timing. Once we were seated, we were promptly helped and our meals were brought out quickly. I noticed right away that HoneyHole carried more steak options for their sandwiches then I'm used to so I figured this must be their thing. I ordered the Fast Eddie and was not disappointed! The sandwich was large (I only finished half) and came with fries. This is one of the better steak sandwiches I've had to date. The meat was not tough or fatty and HH stacked it with a good quantity of it too. The cheese way melty and gooey. The peppers brightened up the whole flavor profile. Bread was perfect for the sandwich and made me really curious about how good the french dip may be. The decor was a little odd. While waiting for our table we tried to determine what they were going for but couldn't really figure it out. Pictures of musicians, movie posters, bright colors, dark lighting, skeletons...and I think I remember seeing a giant fish? I do like a little more light when I'm eating, but no matter, the sandos were delish.

Great sandwiches, I've come here many times. Just ordered the chachi and the corleone, they taste great! Every sandwich I've gotten here, I haven't been disappointed. Also the gooch is an interesting sandwich, has a nice kick to it. The beer selection is vast and a great location for lunch or dinner. This is my go to sandwich joint now in Seattle.
(4)
Victor W.

Interesting spot that has more novelty value than food value but overall is worth at least a try to see if it's for you. You're paying a fair amount for a sandwich which tastes good but isn't mind blowing or much different from what you'd expect for that price. There are some pretty interesting combinations on the board though to try. The ambiance of the place is very hipster and cool. I wouldn't mind hanging out here or just grabbing a very casual lunch with a buddy.

This is my go to place sandwich place. I have been going here since I was in college and I always make a stop when I take a vacation to Seattle. I have tried most of their sandwiches and I love them all. My favorite is the Waverider (Smoked turkey, red onions, tomatoes, smoked Gouda and roasted red peppers loaded a pesto-smeared sourdough roll) and you must get the fries which are always crunchy and never soggy. If you go during lunch you have to go to the counter to order. However. dinner is a sit down service. The place is usually always busy but I don't mind the wait. Plus you can always grab a drink from the bar.

Emily S.

What the hell, why didn't I order a sandwhich in the first place? I stand by my previous 3 star review for the fries, but for a hot sandwich, there's not a better one in town. My favorite is the Waverider. The cheese is thick cut and flavorful, melty on the inside, crispy on the outside. The turkey is piled high. The mama's l'il peppers are spicy. The sauce is just perfectly balanced and there's never too much or too little. The bread is crispy and remains that way even though it takes me about a month to eat anything. The filling to bread ratio is always perfect. For $10, you won't find a better hot sandwich, you might as well stop trying and then just thank me for all the time I've just saved you. I've tried three or four of their soups and always found them to be tasty. I enjoy ordering a $3.00 beer at lunchtime, and they always have one on special for me to try. Oh, and vegetarians - I have 3 vegetarian best friends that I come here with a lot. I don't even have to drag them in - apparently this place makes the best veg sandwiches in town! (For what it's worth, the Emilio Pestovez seems to be the favorite, though they have a whole board of vegetarian options).

Get The Dude and Fast Eddie. Seriously. Everybody already knows how good HoneyHole is. It's all about the sandwiches here and with good reason. I came here with some friends, and I shared The Dude and Fast Eddie. Both are made with steak, with The Dude being flank and the other with tri-tip. Honestly, I prefer Fast Eddie because it comes with pepper jack and peppers. Like Lil' Mama peppers, and you just know the sandwich will be good. The Dude is more like a steak and salad dinner mashed between a baguette. Granted, sometimes that's what you want, but Fast Eddie is so unhealthily delicious. Their breads are always crispy, chewy, and fluffy, which is the perfect texture combination for baguettes. The ambiance is perfectly strange, and service is alright.

Lolia S.

The sandwich quest continues. Honey Hole looks like a bar with a quirky South Pacific/1970's celebrity theme but it's a sandwich shop. The sandwiches are named after 70's celebrities. It smells like patchouli inside. The day menu has hot & cold sandwiches, soup, and salads. The night menu has sandwiches, plus burgers, juice cocktails, and appetizers. * The Corleone ($8.50) s3-media1.px.yelpcdn.comâ€¦ : hot carved house cured pastrami cut thickly with a heavily peppered crust, gooey Swiss, tart sauerkraut, and yellow mustard on crusty warm toasted baguette. It's a comforting sandwich but it had an overwhelming amount of yellow mustard. Enjoyed the peppery pastrami the most. The kraut didn't stand out.

I recently learned that they will make any of their vegetarian sandwiches completely vegan if you ask. To those of you who are vegans, this is a kind of big deal, but for those of you who are not, it's not. For that reason, I will spare the details! The imitation chicken tastes so much like actual chicken, I spit it out the first time I had it because I thought they'd brought me the wrong sandwich!!! Not to worry. They say this happens a lot :) These veg sandwiches are not just a hasty attempt to appease the veg/vegan folks. They are some of the best sandwiches I have ever had. If you are a vegetarian or a vegan who likes sandwiches, eat here. Immediately if not sooner.

Lillian W.

*This review is for vegetarians or people interested in the vegetarian options.* Maybe I shouldn't have read the reviews first and built up my expectations? Been wanting to try this place for a while after hearing rave reviews from friends, and after checking it out on yelp I was sold. But it was meh. It could be the fact that I'm vegetarian. I tried 2 of the veggie sandos, ones with the tomato field roast. I mean, they are good sandwiches. But nothing I couldn't make at home, and spend a lot less on. I would not bring someone here to impress them with succulent sandwiches. I would be pleasantly surprised if I stumbled upon this place thinking I was going to eat something mediocre and then got better than that. Also, the wait was so long between ordering and getting the sandwiches I was about to ask them if they had forgotten our order. We waited about 20 minutes for 2 sandwiches, nothing else. We were seated immediately and there were not that many people in the restaurant (lunchtime, Weds). Clean restrooms. Overall, not a bad place! Just nothing to write home about for vegetarians.

3 star yelp definition - A-OK This place. A-OK. I'm not sure why some people rave about it. They're just sandwiches and not much different from what you would make at home. It's usually good value for the money, but I've never been blown away by anything here. It's just a sandwich, same sandwich meat you get elsewhere and they let you sit down and drink beer with it. Ok sandwiches, fun place, nothing great nor bad about it. A-OK.

So close.... so so close. I love me a French Dip. I don't know why. It isn't like it is a fabulously complicated sandwich, innovative, or unique. But when it is done well it is sooo sooooo good. And, well... so many places do it really damn poorly. So, HoneyHole's "The Gooch". Hot tri-tip beef? Lordy it was tasty, flavorful and just so delicious. The melted cheddar? Copious and melted to an ooey-gooey perfection. I honestly prefer swiss or a stronger cheese w/my french dips though. The horseradish mayo? Strong and flavorful, and oddly excessive on only one side of my sandwich so the first half had me sniffling and the second wondering where it went. The bread? Crusty, airy inside, and oh so yummy. And where everything else mostly wins, im sorry to say the Au Jus loses here. Hot brown sort-of beefy water. What a let down there. I dipped my sammie for sure, but wanted more of a punch to come from it. Prices might seem up there until you see how big your damn sandwich is. I left with most my second half in a to-go box. It made a delicious light lunch the next day. The service was alright. Nothing to write home about but nothing to complain. I'll come back and try everything at some point I'm sure, but I'm a sucker. And while that french dip was not the most perfect, it was still pretty effing good. So expect to see me here with a gooch (oh lordy) in my face.

Joe O.

First off all, I'd like to apologize to HoneyHole for not reviewing you guys earlier. This place is a mainstay for us and other than a random weekend where the oven wasn't working, makes the best sandwiches in Seattle. We eat here a few times a month and when my brother visits (from NY, where there is no shortage of great sandwich shops), he can't stop raving about it. I went so far as to get him a t-shirt. Now I rarely, if ever, rate sandwich shops more than 4 stars but this place has great beer, awesome decor and the food is outstanding. I've had almost every "hot" sandwich on the menu and have never been displeased. A little tip: always order the hot sandwiches, the cold one's never do the place justice.

El Guapo. I wish I knew how to quit you. Actually, I don't, but whatever. I can't get away from the El Guapo. I've been to HoneyHole a number of times across a number of years, and I can't ever order anything but the El Guapo. Granted, I'm looking only at vegetarian sandwiches there, so my selection is limited to five, but even still, the combination of it being a sandwich that satisfies me reliably enough and my infrequent-enough visits to HoneyHole have kept me in its gravitational force, ripe with tomatoes, green peppers, red onion, Italian seasoning, smoked gouda, cheddar cheese, and a ranch sauce on a hearty toasted demi-baguette. Though I haven't tried the other sandwiches, all the other veggie-friendly sandwiches sound perfectly good in their own right, and I have witnessed a bunch of sandwich love going on at the HoneyHole amongst eaters of all types, so it stands to reason that whatever it is you order, you'll probably enjoy it. Choose salad, slaw, or fries as your side. Fries are good, plentiful as a side, nice n' crispy and of medium body. You can add a generous side of tasty ranch (house-made, perhaps--it's not Hidden Valley or otherwise something straight from a bottle) for just $0.50. "Ian, you should not be eating a mound of fries with a side of ranch, don't you think?" I know that. Shut up. There are a couple drink specials worth mentioning. $3 pints on the beer of the day, which on my most recent visit was a nice American Brewing Blonde Ale. There's also a featured cocktail of the day available for a very reasonable $4.50 or thereabouts. This is a really generous move when the drink is something like a mojito (as it was when I was there), which so often inspires bartender ire because of the effort involved in preparing one. This said, my experience at the bar has led me to believe that this is not the sort of staff that would exhibit ire. Service has been pleasant, friendly, and relaxed, which fits the casual, relatively soothing vibe of the red-illuminated interior with its charming kitschy decor. Go on and shove some HoneyHole into your pie hole. Or sandwich hole, as the case may be.

been hearing quite a bit about this place and finally gave it a try. Ordered the Gooch...a bit on the saltier side for me. I was thirsty the rest of the afternoon. It was pretty good overall but I'm not sure I'd come back simply because there are many other yummy sandwiches places around Seattle and the Gooch didn't blow my mind.

Had the BEST sandwich I've ever had in my life. Yes that's a bold statement but it is TRUE. I was blown away by how good my veggie chicken sandwich was and just the simple fact that they even offered so many vegetarian items was pleasantly surprising to me as well. We came here before a show at the Comet and met some friends for happy hour drinks and food. The drinks were cheap and strong, just the way I like it. I order the Juke, which was a fake chicken and BBQ sauce sandwich and it was amazing!! I felt dumb because I kept saying over and over how freaking good it was but I couldn't help it, I was in love :) I live kind of far away but regardless, I will be back and it will be soon.

I never tried Honey Hole when it had the old menu or different bread. Whatever they are serving now is fine..nothing AMAZING, just fine. My sandwiches have usually come out quick, and with no problems. And there's the bar (but I usually just go for lunch). The turkey was good, the tri-tip was much better! Give it a shot, try a few different sammys until you find your favorite!

Seriously, if your not checking this place out each time you walk by to go to class, work, or your friends spot your MISSING OUT. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, whatever time I have loved their hot sandwiches, hipster tiki bar in the back, and good place to take a shot before math class if you know what I mean... As long as I live in Seattle, I will be coming back, thanks Honeyhole.

Danae S.

This was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!! I got Chachi's favorite and was expecting a regular sandwich but, to my pleasant surprise, bit into REAL turkey!! The sauce that was on it was amazing. It took a little while for us to get our food and you aren't really sure what to do after you're done (you put your plates away in a bin), but I was very pleased with my HoneyHole experience. AMAZING. I wish I could go back! The price was a little expensive, and I don't know if it should be that expensive, but people definitely are willing to pay for it.

I can't believe I've never written a review about this place. Since I first came to this city this has more or less been my go to Capitol Hill sandwich spot. In a place with a wealth of great options I consistently choose to come here. I introduce people from out of town to this place like they pay me (which btw is totally alright if that's a thing any HoneyHole owners want to talk about). Food: superlative. I've never had anything I didn't want more of. Huge portions, great quality ingredients, magical flavor combinations that appropriately for the city make you feel like you're in sandwich Nirvana (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?)...I could go on for ages. I personally prefer the Waverider and the Gooch but it's truthfully all good. Drinks: Bro. Bro. 4$ for some fantastic blueberry orgasm in a vodka jacuzzi? I'm there all day. Or would be, if my liver and bank account could afford it. Bro. Just come drink here. For serious bro. I love the HoneyHole and wish I could live inside it and just be fed like some bacchanalian sandwich lord.

Long have my boyfriend and I wanted to try HoneyHole and we finally did the other day. The place is pretty cool looking from the inside. They have super random things around the restaurant that just gives them that "edgyness?" Anywho back to the delicious sandwiches. I got this turkey sandwich and my boyfriend got their pulled chicken with bbq sauce. For some reason, I always seem to order the better tasting food whenever we go out. My boyfriend liked my sandwich much more than his so being the awesome gf that I am, I sacrificed my other bigger half and let him have it. The turkey sandwich is a must try if you will be going there for the first time! I forgot the name of it, but it has pesto, provolone cheese, and all sorts of goodness in it! I shall be returning and this time I won't share =).

Two years later and 3 extra stars! I'm totally sold on HoneyHole's new menu. Before I'd come here many times and the food never really impressed me. I'm so glad to say however that those days are long over. I've been back at least 3 times in the last month and I've ordered the Gooch. You cannot lose with this sandwich. Some of the recent changes here include better quality meats, home stewed meats, locally sourced ingredients, and the overall quality of their sandwiches is a far cry from what it was before. In fact, my issue before was that the sandwiches were forgettable. So while they weren't bad, I couldn't stand paying $12+ for a combo when I liked Subway (just a block West) better. Now it's been months since I've even set food in Subway and instead of thinking the food is forgettable, I dream about it! Seriously... eat here. RUN!! Eat here now.

You'd better not disagree with the cook at HoneyHole. Yesterday a friend and I went there late in the night (around 11pm) for dinner. I order "the dude" and my friend asked for a burger. It took 30 minutes for the food to arrive; the place had 3 other costumers besides us. My order was OK, not great, but my friends' burger had an overpowering garlic dressing. I tried and could not feel the taste of anything else after a single bite. We talked about it to the serve who called the cook. The cook vented on us that there was noting wrong with his food and the kitchen was about to close. Very aggressive, defensive and rude. He should be aware that is pretty easy to find awesome burgers in Seattle (Li'l Woody's is around the corner). Won't be back...

Whenever I have guests in town I make sure to take them to the HoneyHole at least once. Every one has raved about how great the inexpensive food and quirky atmosphere are. Luckily I live just a few blocks away and can go whenever I like.

Beware that this restaurant takes a LONG time to get your meal out during busy periods like in the afternoon. I had the waverider sandwich, and I thought it was pretty on par with the price I paid. I always judge expensive sandwiches based on the sauces and blends they use. I could tell they put a lot of thought into the pesto. The portion was big enough as well for the price I paid (by Seattle standards). My only gripe is that they don't have enough selection of breads for the sandwiches. Would be better if we could choose from different varieties. My friend had the lentil soup in a bowl. It's a huge bowl and the lentil soup was very green and creamy, which is a sign that it's well-prepared.

I have finally sandwiched!! I tried The Dude- flank steak, caramelized onions, and cheese with a horseradish kick. Sandwiches come with fries or a salad, and the salad isn't a small, wilted thing, either. Its a legit, full dinner plate kind of salad, with dried cranberries, tomatoes, walnuts, and non iceberg lettuce- any restaurant that doesn't use iceberg automatically gets a better bump up in my book. The beef in my sandwich was juicy, fresh tasting, and from what the waitress said, from somewhere in Washington state- I don't remember where. My dining companion had the blue cheese burger, which comes with bacon. His verdict was that the bacon was excellently cooked, and that the beef in the burger was some of the best ones he had had recently. Service was quick, attentive, yet unobtrusive. The bartender and waitress both made sure we were doing alright, but didn't try to ask us how we were doing every ten minutes (she was a pro). It was a full on dinner rush, but we got our drinks within five minutes of ordering them, and our food within twenty minutes of placing our order. Stop by and see what the daily drink specials are- there's usually a $3 beer on tap, and a cocktail that's under 6 bucks.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Literally the best sandwiches I've had. Fantastic meat and vegetarian options. I always get the El Guapo, a hot vegetarian sandwich with tomato, onion, peppers, herbs, Gouda and ranch sauce. AMAZING. The bread is always crispy and delicious, too many restaurants' sandwich bread is just an afterthought. The Juke is also delicious, great BBQ sauce, perfect bread, and goes well with a side of their yummy coleslaw.

Diana C.

Sandwiches are really good! Like really good (it starts with the buttery bread)! And their fries are great too. I was trying not to eat too much since we were supposed to eat again afterwards (true fatty, I know), but i ended up eating everything and then sucking my fingers to get the last bit of flavor... LOL. Drinks are good, atmosphere is lively (dimly lit, so I would assume it'd be nice for a date), seating can be a bit challenging for large groups, so keep the parties small. FYI there is only one bathroom each for guys and girls, so please don't be like that girl who was texting or calling someone with her phone while other people need to use the facilities... I don't want to have to use the guy's bathroom because you decided to squat in the restroom (i'm sure your caller would also appreciate you not talking to them while you're doing your business).

Kellie K.

The sandwiches here are so delicious! The El Guapo is one of my favorite sandwiches in the city - the bread is so delicious and the smoked Gouda really adds great flavor. I also think they have some of the best French fries, really crispy. I just wish they had more seating, it's usually super crowded. But they can't really do much about that. Really great sandwich spot!

I've been here 5-6 times and every time it's just as good as the first. Portions are pretty big, so I usually save the second half for dinner. No matter which sandwich you pick it's bound do be finger licking good. I get the hot Dude or Bandit sandwiches--I've tried the other ones and I haven't turned away a bite yet.

Melissa T.

Solid four star sandwich. I wouldn't come here for ambiance but it's a nice divey place to meet up with friends, either to start, continue, or end drinking. While it's nothing I would crave, I feel like it's a must try of Seattle if you're a local. If you're a tourist with limited time, I'd go somewhere else (PASEO)

Paul L.

Local incarnate: cozy and intimate Setting: 4 People: 4 Drinks/Prices: 5 Food: 5 The sandwiches are a carnivore's delight. The drinks appeal to everyone's palate (there's away a local cheap lager). I've frequented this place several times and the food is consistently tasty (from the cuban to the brisket); it rival the much touted Paseo. I like it's eclectic yet relaxed setting. A top choice in my book.

Chris O.

BOMB sandwiches! Note: This place was packed during lunch hour, and emptied around 12:30. As a first timer, I went for The Gooch. It's essential a french dip with some horseradish mayo. I hate horseradish, but decided a little sting would be worth it. The tri-tip beef was juicy and the baguette was perfect, thick enough to support all the meat and au jus, but not too chewy. The Gooch: yelp.com/biz_photos/seXhâ€¦ Can't wait to go back for their other hot sandwiches.

Liz M.

After meaning to try this place for a good year or more, the stars finally aligned and I took myself here for a well-deserved night out. The drink special of the day was called something like a Gin Lizzie, so of course I had to have two! It had lemon and a ginger ale base, so it was light without being overly sweet or fruity. To balance the alcohol, I ordered the Chachi which was a) massive, b) filling, and c) darn tasty. The place was hopping shortly after I arrived, so I'm glad I got there when I did. The cool-as-rock (music rock, not stone rock) waitresses were right on top of things, not overly friendly but so on the money that you put it down to efficiency and hustle. My biggest complaint is that it seemed rather dark in there, and a bit loud, but then I'm a crotchety old lady. But not so old or crotchety that I won't be dropping by again sometime soon!

I love me a good sandwich but these are better then good :0 I wish the service had been a little better and they would have earned my fifth star. Wasn't bad just wasn't clear who was the server.. Our server took our order and dropped our check.. The servers "assistant"? Did everything else.. Mm just give me a sandwich!
(4)
Richard U.

Came here before a movie at the Regal last night. Sandwich joint complete with bar if you also want to get your drink on. Ordered the Gooch which is like a french dip sandwich with tillamook cheddar cheese. It was pretty tasty. They are open until 2 am but the food stops at 11pm which is a bummer! I will be back to try more carby goodness..

Amanda B.

I think the best way to describe the HoneyHole is exactly how I did so last time I was there: "Your mouth will cry with happiness." This place is great! I don't go here often but I really enjoy it. The menu has a good variety, and you're likely to find something you'll love (as long as you're not a picky eater). It is, however, very very popular. Consider calling ahead or ordering online for pick up. You'll be able to eat in the comfort of your home and won't be stuck awkward hovering near the bar or soda dispenser while you wait for your order. Last time I waited for over half an hour (!!) and there wasn't an empty seat in the whole place. Plan accordingly for your time purposes.

Most amazing veggie BLT's you will ever have!! Yes it's tiny so you have to get in at a good time, but that's ok, the food is definitely worth it. I've had a few veggie sandwiches and they are all amazing, but the BLT is definitely my fav!

Quizno's with Cuervo. If they changed the name of the place, I doubt they'd sell as many sandwiches. They're decent enough. I'll drop in if I happen to be in the area, but I won't make a special trip.

First time visit today. We got the The Juke (vegetarian) and the Texas Tease sandwiches. Both come on half baguette and smothered in BBQ sauce. Staff was courteous, sandwiches made quickly and both were delicious. Highly recommended.

I've walked by (admittedly giggling) the Honey Hole...maybe hundreds of times without actually going in. Finally, in a fit I like to call "NEED SAMMICH NOWW". In these fits, I can't just have any ole PB&J or sub-meh concoction. Just 'cause it's in between slices of bread, doesn't make it acceptable. Just sayin' SO, I marched my tuchus up to Honey Hole and sat down in the corner booth. It's a little stuffy in there because, well, heat wave. And like MOST Seattle residents, they don't have A/C. No problem. We were acknowledged immediately by our wonderful server who promptly brought us water. We himmed and hawed over the menu, and finally, order our sandwiches off the hot list - I chose a hot turkey with the boy ordering a hot roast beef. We waited. And to my SHOCK there they were mere moments later. I don't know if it was the heat, or if these folks at Honey Hole just know how to make a sandwich and not take forever. I'm guessing it was the latter. They were delicious. The sandwich was gooey and the cheese all melty - the bread wasn't stiff and over-toasted either, which (in my professional opinion) is a common ailment of hot sandwiches. I'll for sure be back. Probably sooner than later. On account of the "OMG NEED"

Denea Y.

Perhaps it's the case of overhype, but I wound up disappointed after my first (and so far only) Honeyhole sandwich. I eagerly anticipated the visit to the former-gay-bar-turned-deli, and I went mid-day so service was expectedly fast and friendly. The Honeyhole worker recommended Chachi's Favorite (loaded with pepper turkey, havarti, tomato, and ranch dressing on a French roll), so I ordered it, but I didn't find anything remarkable about the sandwich. Tasted like white meat, tomato, and ranch on bread. I rarely discount any eatery after one visit, so the next time I go, I'll be sure to try the fries, cheap drinks, and a different sandwich.

Jessen M.

If you had asked me yesterday to review Honey Hole i would have given it 5+ stars! I have been going here for 10 years and LOVE it, but what is the deal with the new bread? I don't mind the size of the new bread, but why is it so chewy? The old bread had this delicious crunch to it so that when i dipped my Gooch it would stay crunchy and smokey, but this bread is bendy, chewy and flowery. it ruined my sandwich.... 5 for the good memories and the inside of my sandwich, but 0 for the yucky new bread! 3 is a nice round up.

gabriel e.

I have been here like 4 times over the past 6 years or so. Do I remember what I had? No. Did I enjoy it every single time I went? Yes!!! I also remember that I went here with some chick on a first date and we got kinda drunk and then went to some club. And she was like "i gotta go to the bathroom" and I was like "word". Thats when she disappeared for good. I still recommend the HoneyHole for good sandwiches and drinks!!! Dont get all worked up cuz your date might ditch you in like an hr. Its really not that big of a deal. Especially because in like 3 more months yer gonna get some super hot chick preggers and have two beautiful kids and live happily ever after.

Good spot for a sandwich and a tasty beverage. HoneyHole just revamped their menu and I enjoyed the pulled-pork sandwich I got. Could have used a little more heat, but overall it was a quite good. My friend got the small flank steak salad, which was a steal for only $6. She was very happy with it. They also have good drink specials to slake your thirst without dipping too deeply into your wallet. I like the atmosphere and the service was good. Certainly a worthy spot for happy hour drinks or a late night sandwich.

Robin N.

I LOVE the HoneyHole. Their cocktails have fresh squeezed juices and their sandwiches are warm and delicious! I have gotten the Waverider twice now, and it's definitely one of my favorites: "Smoked turkey, pesto sauce, red onion, roasted red peppers, tomato, and smoked gouda on a fresh French roll - $8.50" I've also tried the Buford T. Justince: "Tangy pulled pork sandwich with pineapple BBQ sauce and melted provolone on a toasted fresh French roll - $8.50", and I must say that for a bbq pulled pork sandwich in the Northwest (being from the South myself) it really hits the spot and does the job right! The best thing about the HoneyHole food are the portions - the sandwiches and fries come in a large enough portion that you can easily split it with someone else for dinner. And the nice thing is that if you tell them you're splitting it when you order, they'll put them on 2 plates for you and fill up the extra room w/ fries :) Or you can also just take the other half of the sandwich home and have part II later... No complaints here!

Robby C.

A close friend of mine introduced us to Honeyhole when we were in college and the little restaurant and bar has been one of our favorite stops for a delicious sandwich when we visit Capitol Hill. The establishment has a distinct neighborhood cafe vibe and the staff is always ready to chat up a storm with its patrons. One of our favorite hot sandwiches, The Gooch, is your basic french dip sandwich with all your essential onions and cheese and au jus, but the Tillamook chedder and succulent slices of tri-tip are what will have you craving for more. Quick little tip, if french dip does not suit your taste, for about the same price The Dude is a very similar sandwich though topped with provolone instead of the cheddar and comes without the side of au jus. Flank steak instead of the tri-tip, but that is usually our substitute when the mood for dipping sandiwches is not there. While there are a handful of sandwich shops that we prefer over in Ballard or further into downtown Seattle, Honeyhole in Capitol Hill is a worthwhile stop for an overall quiet atmosphere as well as a delicious sandwich for under ten dollars. And for the people reading this review that know the urban definition of The Gooch, please do not ruin this sandwich for us because that is not what it is named after.

I don't write reviews often. I only write em if its truly outstanding or if its terrible. This place is AMAZING. Of the 7 months i've been in Seattle, I'd say this place has the best food hands down. They cleverly vent the smells to the front to lure in customers. The smell alone is quite satisfying. I thought i already experienced it all, but then my sandwich came! My Thing 2 Chicken Sandwich was truly life changing. After having this sandwich I feel like a changed man. I don't view life the same way anymore. The food here is a bit pricey. 10.70 for that sandwich +tax and tip and you're looking at 14 dollars for a sandwich and fries alone. But its totally worth it!!!

L. Thomas M.

Might be the best sandwich in Seattle. Picked up a waverider and took it home for some behind the scenes gluttony. Could only make it through half of it (was still awesome cold in the am). Little spendy, but delicious and the quality of ingredients shine through. Had the slaw, good stuff with not much dressing (how I like it). Wasn't sure how the fries would travel, but they looked great too.
(5)
Michael R.

Stopped in and had a couple of burgers. Burgers were good, the onion rings were great but I think from seeing everybody else's orders you might be better off with one of their sandwiches. I'd go again but the next time try something a little different.

You've seen the cartoon where from some source emanates an intoxicating scent which travel over hill and dale in the form of a woman's hand, seeks out Bugs Bunny, and with the slightest lift to his chin, floats his completely surrendered body back. That there are not more traffic issues in front of HoneyHole due to dazed patrons is beyond me. I can personally testify that due only to time constraints, I've resisted those roasted, marinated, sautÃ©ed, and BBQed temptresses for months. Yesterday, however, I consigned myself - and afterwards did a few Hail Marys for not having done so earlier. I'm not going to get into the exact hot sandwiches we had. Suffice to say: Well cooked meats, the right amount of sauce, the right amount of toppings, cheese correctly used as a flavoring and not a smothering, and for a price that cannot be beat. Them sandwiches are huge, and I somewhat envy those youngins that can add fries to it and still put the whole thing away. Now I'm hungry again.

Fawn T.

Every time I walked by I promised myself I'd go in. I like sandwiches, they just aren't usually the first thing I think of when going out for a meal. I'm so glad I kept my promise. I had The Gooch and one of their fresh squeezed juice cocktails. I loooooved the sandwich so much I can't even remember which drink I had. The bread was delicious, the au jus amazing... just a darn fine sandwich all around. I can't wait to go back and try another one.

While stranded on Capitol Hill at a friends house the other day, the siren calls of HoneyHole whispered my name. I ordered the Veggie BLT which awakened a new love for veggie bacon in me which was actually pretty derrrrn good. I can't remember the taste of bacon, but i think this could be close!

Every time I walk by, the Honey Hole smells AMAZING. However, the times I've actually been tempted inside have been pretty disappointing. The decor is cool, the drinks are fine, but the sandwiches never seem to live up to the smell wafting out the door.

Ruby J.

I totally agree with Sarah S. The new veggie BLT is HORRIBLE. They used to have the best veggie BLT in the city - hands down - most vegetarians would agree. Everything is great except for the new veggie bacon that they use. I have to be even harsher than Sarah and go as far as to say that this new "meat" is inedible. It is more like a field roast than veggie bacon. I had to take the meat out and just eat the bread (which is awesome) and lettuce, and tomatoes. I just called them and let them know about the situation and they said that they have had multiple complaints from customers, they know there is a problem, and they will resolve it as soon as they can. So, it is really great that they are listening to their customers and hopefully fixing the sandwich soon. Until then, unless you love field roast, ask before you order or you will be disappointed. Bring back the old bacon soon Honey Hole!

Best known for their sandwiches. The menu offers many different types of sandwiches with a unique flair. I recommend the Chachi's Favorite(Pepper turkey, havarti, tomato, and ranch dressing on a fresh French roll). Or. If youre feeling more experimental try the Buford T. Justice(Tangy pulled pork sandwich with pineapple BBQ sauce and melted provolone on a toasted fresh French roll). This place is conveniently placed in a bar covered with strange art.

L S.

Mmmmm, good. I love sandwiches, so I was so very happy the first time we ate at the Honey Hole. They have a great selection of sandwiches for meat and non-meat eaters. My favorite sandwich to have here is the Waverider, a delicious combination of smoked turkey, pesto sauce, red onion, roasted red peppers, tomato and smoked Gouda on a French roll for $7.75. OMG, the Gouda is so good, but I love cheese even more than I love sandwiches. This sandwich is served hot which makes for delicious melted smoked Gouda mingling with the pesto and smoked turkey. They also have a bar from which I usually order a pounder of Newcastle to accompany my sandwich. What a great combo, an awesome sandwich with a super awesome beer.

Todd P.

Tried Honeyhole out for the first time with my brother. We both thought our sandwich was one of the best we've ever gotten. Most places have fairly standard sandwiches with ingredients like everyone else has. But The Honeyhole clearly adds 2 other ingredients that make all the difference in the world--love and creativity. I will definitely be returning many times. The mushroom and barley soup I had was mediocre and my brother's fries were nothing special.

great place to grab a late lunch or early dinner on the hill. it doubles as a bar at night so you can hang out before meeting up with friends at Rosebud or the place that looks like a giant hot tub across the street. the staff are nice and genuine and sometimes don't mind if you help yourself to a refills on your soda. stop by Babeland next door for some lube and you're set for the afternoon.

The Honeyhole Sandwich shop is a unique place to get some delicious and unique sandwiches. If you work near here, I'd recommend dropping by on different weekdays and getting the separate lunch specials so you can discover the menu. Their fries are savory and good too!

Bummer on someone's recent experience here. I was a more frequent diner here a while back but just had one yesterday (to go even) and it was better than ever. Perhaps a spotty kitchen staff.....or time of day.....or month? I don't know but mine was delicious - perfectly toasted and tasty. The soup, on the other hand, was not so great - too thick and not very flavorful. Try the Chachi sandwich or check the daily special.

Here with 5 friends. Loved my blu burger and then tried their 4 sandwiches and was disappointed... Disappointed that I didn't get their sandwiches! They were delicious. Everything was delicious. This place is the bomb. Blu burger, fast Eddie, wave runner, BBQ brisket sandwich, chicken havarti ranch. All delicious. Fries and ranch are off the chart.

Sin-Yaw W.

A famed sandwich shop and a bar. You walked up to the counter to order and they brought the plate to you. The Gooch (tri-tip French dip) was delicious with baguette probably softer than your standard French version. The dÃ©cor is really interesting and music quite punky. I can see how this place become after dark. It will be a fun partying place with the right combination of drinks and foods. On the quality of the restaurant itself, it is really just a standard sandwich store, albeit quite good sandwiches.

Ramzy K.

These guys have the sandwich down to a science. Now be forewarned, these are not small or light by any means. They are definitely a man's man type of sandwich, very hearty! I ordered the Fast Eddie (recommended by the staff) The ingredients worked very well together and the bread is just right. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. It wasn't easy to choose, there were so many other amazing sandwich combinations on the menu. I want to come back and try the others! Oh well, it will have to wait until the next time I'm in Seattle.

The sandwiches are ridiculously good and generous. Most recently, I had the Corleone and holy crap was it good. This girl can't ever turn her nose on a good classic deli sandwich and this one didn't disappoint! The Corleone is a loose spin on a classic reuben, but sub pastrami for corned beef, mustard for Russian dressing and a baguette for the rye. Even though I was full of skepticism at first, it was so fantastic. They also have quite the array of vegetarian sandwiches that would make even meat-lovers do a double take. Their beer selection is quite decent and I appreciate the full bar. Their cocktails/mixed drinks are on the sweeter/fruitier side than what I like but they do go along really well with the food. Overall, a relaxed, friendly and fun place serving amazing sandwiches with booze. Love it for its glory holiness. Get it? Glory hole? Okay I'm done.

There are only three words you need to know: The Fast Eddie. What a freakin' delicious sandwich. We walked by HoneyHole by chance & decided to stop in for a mid-afternoon snack. Rus and I split a Fast Eddie and boy am I glad we did. It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten! The bread was nice and crusty and the meat was moist and juicy. If we ever go to Seattle again, we'll definitely be visiting the HoneyHole...and you should too.

Yummmayyyyyy. I FINALLY tried this place, and I am sure glad I did! Boyfriend and I were super hungry after my 2 hour hair cut (poor guy..had to wait for me and all..), and it was about 9pm by the time we could finally grab some dinner. Although this place had a wait (understandably), we wanted to tough it out and finally grab some sandwiches here because even my hair dresser recommended this place. The restaurant itself is tiny. People are better off waiting outside rather than inside the restaurant. Otherwise, you'll be waiting/standing right next to a table of dining patrons. it's just awkward. Service was slow because there were only 2 servers. However, the 2 servers were very, very friendly so I didn't feel too impatient. Finally...the food came after what seemed like 45 minutes (maybe I'm over exaggerating because I was really hungry) after actually sitting down at our table. We ordered The Bandit and The Texas Tease. Apparently we were in a BBQ kind of mood? On the side, we got an order of fries and coleslaw. The sandwiches were perfectly warmed, meat was tender, and all the flavors of the BBQ sauce, sharp cheddar cheese, and veggies went absolutely grand together. I'd probably go back if there wasn't a huge wait like there was last time, but the sandwiches are definitely a must-try!

Yes, yes & more yes! I happened to find this lovely spot on Yelp (thanks to all my lovely Yelpers that I can trust) because 8oz Burger Bar around the corner was still closed at 1130A. I strictly came out to Cap Hill just for 8oz but boy am I glad they weren't open! The wait was a little longer than anticipated considering that when we went in, it wasn't that busy, which is why I only gave 4 stars. The sandwich though...that's a whole other story. I got the Fast Eddie. Very appropriate name because it doesn't last long on your plate. The faster you can get it into your mouth to enjoy the flavors, the better. The tri-tip steak they use melts in your mouth, the peppers & sautÃ©ed onions are a perfect match & the pepper jack cheese tops it off like no other! Plus the bread was the perfect amount of crispy & perfect amount of soft. My friend got the Gooch, I didn't try it but it smelt delicious. I can't wait to come back to try the other options. They have so many. It's also a bar at night.

Went here for lunch with my colleagues a couple of days ago. The service was warm and friendly and we were seated right away after we placed our orders. I got the "Gooch" with a side of fries. The sandwich by itself was ok. I was expecting a lot more after reading all the stellar reviews. The meat and bread were a little dry and lacking flavor. What made up for that was the au jus they serve on the side. Dip into this and let the bread soak up the flavors and the sandwich transforms. I loved the combo but it would still have been nice to have a great sandwich to begin with. The fries are pretty good but way too salty IMO. Get them with the ranch. It's a surprisingly awesome combination.(Thanks to a colleague for suggesting this). My friends seemed to order a bunch of other sandwiches and everyone liked theirs too. I would love to go back and try a few more. I do think it's a little pricey as compared to "Paseo" or "Royal Grinder" but since it's in Cap Hill it's hard to compare.

Not impressed with this place. I like the style but that's about it. The first thing that annoyed me was that they don't have any menus that you can sit down and look at. They only have the menu board at the counter. I need to be pretty close to see that and it's hard to make your way to the front when it's busy. Then you have to hold up the line deciding on what you want. I didn't find the service too be that helpful or friendly. The food is overpriced and not very good. Two six inch sandwiches, two drinks and fries are $26. That would have been okay if the sandwiches were amazing, but they weren't. The bread was a little too hard and the sandwiches really lack any taste. It takes awhile for the sandwiches to be made as well. Not a place I'll come back to.

You saved my buddy and I from our sandwich cravings, Honey Hole. Our original plan to try Moroccan sandwiches was a big fail; Yelp told us they closed at 7, but they were right closed up at our 6pm arrival. The Gooch's tri-tipped beef was a tad too peppery, but aside from that, i think I might have my first addiction and that would be your baguette. It was airy and light, mildly crispy, fresh and sweet; the melted, almost infused, Tillamook cheddar was superb and I could've munched on that all night. Prompt and friendly waitstaff and no line for a table is always a big value-add for any food joint in Cap Hill these days, and Honey Hole did not disappoint.

Very solid sandwiches. I got the Fast Eddie which consists of sliced tri-tip steak, pepper jack cheese, onions, peppers and an aioli with a side of fries. The bread was nicely toasted. The steak was thinly sliced so it was sort of like roast beef. The steak itself had good flavors. The peppers added another dimension to the sandwich which is good. I did feel like I had a bit of onion breath afterwards so drink lots of water or chew some gum. The fries were very crispy and slightly salty but nothing ketchup couldn't fix. The food came out in a timely manner. There were a few people ahead of us so its expected that it would take a bit but I wouldn't have considered the wait for food long.

I was debating whether or not to give this place 4 or 5 stars, but I opted to give them 5 because I couldn't think of any problems besides the wait. They had super bomb sandwiches and the service was pretty good. They had people walking around cleaning tables so that's always a plus. When I think back about the sandwiches I had here, I'm actually drooling just a little bit. They were really good and juicy. And hot. and the bread was well toasted and delicious too. But anyways, I got the Buford T. Justice, which was pulled pork with BBQ and I thought that was good. But my friend got the Gooch and I thought that was better than mine! It has horseradish in it which adds a little kick. It went pretty well with all the other ingredients with the sandwich. However, if you don't like that wasabi taste, it might not be for you. Overall, I really liked the sandwiches here, but I will say that the wait took a while. I came at around 3PM on a Saturday and I was surprised that the wait took so long. So if you have time and you're willing to wait, check this place out. Oh, and they play pretty good UK-punk rock music here :)

Yes yes and YASSS. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! I had the waverider that consisted of turkey breast and home made pesto, yum!! They have the option of whole wheat bread as well which was a plus for me!! Looked like they had great vegetarian options as well. Defiantly coming back!

Its about time I got around to try them out and glad I did. Small lilttle sandwich/burger place, small bar area, not many tables but I like it nice & cozy with a dim atmosphere. Good selection of beers on tap, interesting cocktails, and daily drink specials too. Menu is good, good amount of burgers, hot & cold sandwiches, vegetarian options etc. We decided to get the "Western Sky Burger": big burger, nice burger patty, with some melty cheeses, grilled carmelized onions, bacon, some bbq sauce, some mayo mix, on a delicious ciabatta roll. Pretty darn good burger that was freshly made. Comes with a side of fries as well and yes they are delicious! We also tried the "Emilio Pestovez" sandwich: I really liked this, tasty field roast, homeade pesto, grilled onions, lettuce tomato and a light drizzle of balsamic dressing all served on a fresh baguette. Very good vegetarian option and I liked it better than the burger. We split the sandwiches half between us and we were pretty stuffed afterwards. Good sized burger and sandwich, decent price, flavorful and well made. Not sure where they get their bread, it definitely makes it that much better! Looking forward to trying some other items on their menu next time. Place was quite busy around 530pm. While waiting, Babeland next door will make the time pass by quickly.

This is the place to get sandwiches. Great setup, and atmosphere. It can get really crowded, and parking sucks. Sandwiches are around $8-10. 2 of my favorite sandwhiches are the gnooch and the fast eaddie. Both are hot meaty sandwiches- equally delicious. The gnooch has tri tip steak that comes with au jus dip. I would ask them to remove the horseradish cuz it overwhelms the taste of the sandwhich. Fast eaddie on the other hand, has peppers, aoli, cheese, and onions. Pro tip- if you do not want the long wait. Call in your order ahead and do take out.

Tammie C.

Gooch. Omg so good. The warm toasted baguette with the tri-tip, horse radish, purple onion and melted cheddar cheese... Dipped in hot au jus... So, so good. Everything about it was good. Wish it had more onion for that crisp but other than that, delish. Had a few bites of the pulled pork one ( Buford) and in my opinion, not as good. Needs more bbq sauce as it was s bit dry and the bbq sauce is not your standard- a bit tangier than most. Cole slaw was pretty dry too. Fries were good and necessary. They have onion rings too but we'll save that for another time. Kitchy small joint with a bar and unique decorations and interesting music. They got a few bar seats, Few booths and a few tables. The only thing about this place is the wait. Ugh. Came in sat for lunch and waited nearly 30 min for 2 sandwiches and fries. Tip- call in for your order!

A little unique sandwich shop just as you are entering capital hill neighborhood on pike ave.. The sandwiches are fresh meaning made with real meats and fresh vegetables. No GMO reprocessed crap.. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is a friendly welcoming atmosphere for everyone.. Always a great joy whenever we are visiting the hill and want to grab a delicious bite.. Stop by and see for yourself.. The service is very friendly and they great you with a hello and a smile which is hard to come by these days .

Damn, that was a good beef au jus... It takes a lot for me to order a dish named after the region between the genitalia and butt, but " the gooch" sandwich was a delicious exception. When it comes to sandwiches, it's really the small things that stand out. Sure, there were the mounds of tender Tri-tip meat, but what I remember is the sting of the horseradish, the surprising crunch of some cheddar that dripped from the bread onto the griddle, and the strings of red onion falling out from the bread. My friends got a salad (pretty big for a side salad) and the vegan BLT (wtf is in vegan mayo??). All solid. Chill, roomy space. Nice service.

Grabbed a quick sandwich to go and waited at bar. Food- 2 Stars Meh sandwich too much BBQ not enough coleslaw and stalish bread. I make a better sandwich at home. Good fries but too many ends and little pieces, crappy product being used in kitchen. Atmosphere- 2 Stars Dark and hole like inside. Drinks- 4 Stars Good cold beer selections.

Zachary S.

I've probably been here over 15 times now. Their BBQ sauce is pretty tasty, but if you have had a "real" pulled pork/brisket sandwich, you probably won't be craving this one the next time you want some smokey BBQ. Despite that, it's still really good - the bread and fries truly make the meal. Don't even think about ordering a side salad. The health benefits aren't worth it when you're at Honeyhole. One of my favorite Honeyhole sandwiches is "The Gooch," which is essentially french dip. While the other sandwiches are good overall, they're not amazing compared to their more authentic counterparts. But the Gooch has to be one of the best french dip sandwiches I have ever had. If you're seeking a consistently delicious, super filling sandwich, come to Honeyhole.
(4)
Mark G.

Got the Gooch for a late-night snack to soak up the beer in my belly, and I was utterly satisfied with my selection. The bread was lightly crunchy/crusty, and soaked up the au jus perfectly. The horseradish mayo added just the right amount of kick. I got the slaw instead of the fries and they made a nice accompaniment to the kick-ass sandwich. The sweetness and creaminess of the slaw was the yin to the sandwiches yang.

I think when I lived there I started to get fat because I went to Honeyhole wayyyy too often. Those sandwiches, my crush at the counter and those fries. I can't decide which was my favorite part. Every time I visit I make sure to go back, just as I would take out of town friends there when they came to the fair city. Oh, and it's a fun place to drink.

I had already made several inappropriate jokes about a place called "HoneyHole". It just reminded me of a bar in Chicago called the ManHole, like maybe it was its sweeter counter part. You know, the more comforting and maternal Hole. Then we stepped inside and realized this was a Dio blasting, long haired rocking kinda place. (RIP Ronnie James) Not many people know that RJD was the one who made the devil horn hand gesture what it is today. Anyways...the hole. The hole is on the smallish side with an ok sized menu of sandwiches, chips, fries and things. Mad props for having field roast and offering vegans a chance to eat! The open faced field roast fakey meatloaf sandwich is not for the faint of heart skinny raw foodie vegan. It's mamoth, it's brown and if you don't have the balls it will EAT YOU. Pair this sucker up with french fries and you've got the tannest most beige meal one could ever consume. Brown, brown and more brown. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty tasty but if you went the big V for health reasons, maybe this is not for you. A+ for having Reeds Ginger Beer.

New menu, folks.... I found out the hard way, after walking down here last week on an errand to bring home sandwiches for my sister and I. Called and called on a Monday after 11, no one answered the phone, couldn't figure it out. The note on the door clarified matters: Closed to prepare for new menu. Which was too bad, because we were sorely tempted by one of the new offerings: the BuiLT to Satisfy, HoneyHole's BLT with Zoe's Meats bacon, a garlicky aioli, and the requisite lettuce and tomato tucked into a ciabatta roll. Of course I couldn't let that escape me for long! The man and I ventured out on our Solstice Saturday for lunch. Welcome, summer....The counter ordering is the same as always, but as some of you know, they've put in some new tables and revamped the interior a bit, along with the menu. Some sandwiches remain in the new administration (the Wave Rider, which the man absolutely loved - and who doesn't love hot turkey, pesto, red onion, smoked gouda, and other goodies?), and there are new faces (lots of Field Roast for the vegetarians), although with some old favorites missing and not really accounted for (including the man's previous favorite). The priciest sandwich is $9, and I'm happy to pay extra (especially when eating meat) for better-quality, thoughtfully sourced and mostly local product like Zoe's Meats and Painted Hills beef. Not to mention the Wild Wheat breads! But I'm happy with the new iteration, and HoneyHole sandwiches have never disappointed in the past so I don't expect that now. I dig the good-looking salads (you can top 'em with Smoked Tomato Field Roast for a small extra charge), and noticed a vegan lentil soup on the menu yesterday....Options are good, and change can be good. What's stayed the same is the nice little bar and that oh-so-enticing blast of barbecue-sauce-laced air that hits you when you round the corner of Boylston and Pike. Oh, and that BLT? Let's just say that garlic aioli is fierce...and I want one again already.

Wave Ridaaa &Justice! The cashier was definitely ROCKIN' IT! It was super crowded-even on a weekday at 2pm! The sandwiches are extremely glorious! Once you take that bite--it is like a dream-More like a pizza sandwich all in one. My BFF & I ate both of these and apparently so much ingredients mixed up in our little tummys was quite a weezy unregretable experience! The restaurant decorations are SO NEAT!! Paintings, sharks in the ceiling, and loads of interesting shinanogans that adore my eyes. Absolutely like like like!

I heard good things about this place from a friend. I thought I'd check it out with someone who came to visit me from out of country for some good American food after a day downtown. I ordered "The Gooch" and I'm glad I did! It seems to be a popular choice on Yelp, and although I didn't read reviews beforehand, it just seemed to suck me in. French Dip is something that is usually nothing to write home about because it's very rarely done right, but this place is pretty awesome! The hot tri-tip beef was delicious and the bread was nice and toasty which made it hold up to the au jus well. Cheese was melted nicely and the horseradish wasn't too overwhelming. I got it with the salad which was nice. I think fries would have been too heavy for me personally since a french dip has no veggies. My friend got the sandwich with the BBQ pork and seemed to enjoy that, too! Our drinks were more hit or miss. My Peach Smash was pretty awesome. Strong enough to be worth my money but not so strong that it was not drinkable. It was a pleasant twist on a Mint Julep. However, my friend got the Cat's Meow and neither of us were impressed. Keep in mind that she got the habanero syrup switched out for simple syrup (which defeats the purpose, we know. But the combination otherwise sounded delicious). Unfortunately, the drink still just tasted bland and bitter. Almost like watered down vodka with nothing else. Thankfully, the waitress was amazing and got her a sprite to mix and also took the drink off the bill entirely. Apparently we weren't the first people to dislike it and they had that problem before. Decor is cozy but comfy. Dark, intimate, and casual place to eat with friends. Service, like I said before was awesome and very sweet. I definitely recommend this place! Although I've only gone once it's one of those places where I can tell that the entire menu is probably pretty awesome!

Adine L.

i'm still a fan, but why the heck did they take the dirt burger off the menu??? it's just a garden burger, they serve burgers, why not offer a veggie burger? or am i on glue? do they have veggie patty options for their burgers? i guess i should find out before writing this review, now that i think about it... owell, i went, there was no dirt burger, i asked why it wasn't on the menu, and they didn't tell me they had any veggie burger options, so that must mean they don't have them anymore. sad. BRING BACK THE DIRT BURGER PLEASE!

Went here during a trip to Seattle that involved lots of eating and drinking. Since I had eaten a lot of unhealthy food the night before, I wanted a fairly healthy lunch. I went with the steak salad and a cup of their soup of the day, which was some sort of meat/vegetable combo. The steak salad tasted a lot better than it looked. The steak they used was very melt-in-your-mouth, although it looked dry. The vegetables they used were fresh, and the dressing was not too overpowering. The salad was better than the soup, but the soup still tasted great on a cold Seattle day. I went with a large group of friends, so I appreciate the order-at-the-counter style for big groups. Everyone seemed pleased with their meals. There was some confusion from some who ordered sandwiches, since the sandwiches do not automatically come with fries. I stole some fries from my friend's plate and they were really good! I highly recommend this place for a quick hearty but (fairly) healthy lunch.

I felt a little out of place being that I wasn't sporting a pork pie hat, ironic glasses, or a cheek piercing. Clearly this is a hipster sandwich spot. While this place seems to pride itself on vegetarian options, I wasn't overly impressed with the veggie selection. My personal dislike of goat cheese and veggie bacon (which never seems to come out right) eliminated most of the menu right off the bat. Still, it's nice to see something other than a toppings sandwich on the menu. I ended up ordering the El Guapo, while my bf ordered the Juke. Service was friendly enough, though far from speedy. The sandwiches came out a lot larger than I expected! The bread was fresh and delicious. My bf liked his veggie bbq chicken. The El Guapo was a sloppy mess of cheese and ranch sauce. It was pretty tasty, but the fattiness got to me about half way through. I might have been happier with a different sub sans goat cheese. It's not that I disliked my food, but I don't think I'd get that same one again. I'd be willing to give them another shot the next time I pass through the area, but it's nothing that I'd go out of my way for.

Awesome hole in the wall sandwich joint! This was my first time there and definitely will not be my last. The decor definitely had character - had an old pub feel with some punk/rock flare. I ordered the "waverider" sandwich (turkey breast, pesto, gouda, red onion and red chili and mao) and it was delicious - served hot and meat still steaming! The pricess were reasonable - about what you'd expect from a good sandwich shop ($7-$8) The hot sandwiches are served on these baguettes are crispy on the crust and soft in the middle - perfect combination! There were many more sandwiches on the menu that looked delicious that i'll have to try next time! I would highly reccommed this place to anyone who likes plain ol' good sandwiches!

Hands down, my favorite sandwich shop on Capitol Hill. "The Bandit" (BBQ beef brisket, cole slaw and cheddar on a demi baguette) has yet to disappoint. The decor, music and overall vibe are consistently weird/fantastic. Both lunch and dinner staff have been consistently friendly and responsive.

Nick W.

A few years ago I was strolling around Capitol Hill, extremely intoxicated, on my birthday, at about 1:15 AM. To say the neon sign that simply reads "BOOZE" spoke to me doesn't do justice to how impressed I was. So simple, so true, it beckoned me, and I answered. I slammed down two drinks in a matter of minutes and went on my merry way. Some time later I recalled this gem and was informed by friends that people go there for more than just BOOZE... it seems they actually have good sandwiches. Going back a handful of times, I have come to agree with the aforementioned friends, they do have sandwiches... and they are really damn good. The waverider will always treat you right and the fries are just about perfect. I now have a very difficult time avoiding this place when I'm on the hunt for either BOOZE or a good sandwich. It beckons. I answer. Rinse. Repeat.

I have only ever ordered The Gooch but I love it so much I can't bring myself to order anything else yet! Super soft french baguette piled with tender, quality roast beef and oozing with cheeeese and little peppers (: The same little peppers are in the au jus that you get with your sandwich, and it is to die for. The whole thing is just exploding with spicy, savory, and sweet melt in your mouth flavors... it's amazing!

This is a great hot sandwich place. It seems to be a "dude" hangout next to the dude skater store and dude barber shop. If you are not a dude then order your food by phone and pick it up to go. It's noisy and crowded. The recent face lift to the front lobby does help pull your eye away from the back of the house. Which is sorta clean looking. The food is great, thoughI love the French dip. And yes I mean the French dip and not that other mayonnaise laden construction. Mayo on a hot sandwich - yuck. The tiki bar is great. The dude atmosphere is pretty awesome actually. During the day you can see the sandwich maker. Only thing that bothers me is to see a gloved food worker repeatedly pulling his pants up and then proceeding to make sandwiches. Wash hands, put on gloves, make food, take them off. Rinse and repeat. Get a belt or a tighter one and for health sake do better at your use of gloves. At night a giant black curtain conceals the back of the house, not that any dude would really care about the minor details. And while I may be critical I will definitely keep going back..

Finally tried this place last week and went with the Fast Eddie. It was incredible, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Lots of other items on the menu looked good too so I hope to come back soon and try some more. Liked that they had several good beers on tap as well. Only complaint would be that it took quite a while to get my sandwich but it was worth the wait.

Orlene C.

Tried The Gooch (French Dip). The bread and meat were great! It is impressive that they roasted, smoked, and grill the meat in house daily. We just wish the au jus was a bit less salty for it to become our go to French Dip place. The Dude was very tasty as well.

The Honey Hole needs to educate their staff about federal law concerning service dogs. When I refused to reveal the medical condition which qualifies me fr my service dog I was asked to leave. Federal law specifically enjoins establishments from prying into my confidential medical reasons for my dog. The staff was disrespectful and rude. Luckily The Baguette Box understands and welcomes us so I was able to get my dinner without drama. I will not be back to the Honey Hole to deal with their staff which are actually holes a lot more smelly than than honey ones.

I came here late on a weeknight with a friend for some vegetarian sandwiches. We ordered The Juke (veggie chicken and BBQ sauce) with coleslaw ($10.30) and The Bellissimo (Field Roast, tomatoes, basil, goat cheese) with french fries ($9.30). The sandwiches came in halves which made it very easy to share. They were delicious, albeit a bit greasy, and gave me a tummy ache later. The coleslaw tasted homemade and pleasantly vinegary and the fries were alright. This place is definitely more of a bar than a restaurant, which a loud noise level, dark mood lighting, and lots of weird things on the wall to look at. This place is also overpriced. I will come back, but I'll probably just split one sandwich (The Juke was delicious) and get some booze.

I was walking around Capitol Hill in the evening with a buncha Canadians and I couldn't figure out where to take them that was cheap and close. I saw Babeland across the street and declared that it was a must-see tourist destination so we jaywalked, made it to the other sidewalk in one piece, and caught a big whiff of the Honey Hole as we were walking to Babeland. And thus began my first visit to the Honey Hole! I wasn't super hungry so I just got one of their appetizers (forgot what it was called: basically a mini-"pizza" made of breadstick dough and delicious cheese) while the others got some Buford T. Justice and the Honey Sweety Grilled Chicken Burger. Everyone loved their food but I've never had five-star-worthy Vancouver, B.C. food so...who knows what their opinions were worth? I did have a bite of the Justice sandwich, which had pulled pork in it and that was kinda disappointing since I've been spoiled by homemade pulled pork. All in all, the food was a-okay for what we paid (less than $10 a person without drinks). Had I gone with some good, close friends, the Honey Hole would have made for a nice, rowdy dinner date. The dim atmosphere and the funny decorations strung from the ceiling (a hilarious looking shark, a turtle, some plastic man positioned to look like he's flying) made it feel cave-like and cozy and the music was fantastic for chilling out. I'd come here all the time for happy hour if they had food specials. Minus a star for the extremely slow service (took almost 30 minutes to get our food even though they're sandwiches and the place wasn't packed)...so 3.5 stars.

Best sandwiches in Seattle (well, maybe tied with Smarty Pants in Georgetown). I really like "the Bandit" and "Waverider". They also have good beers on tap. The fries are the bomb too. This is the perfect spot for lunch on Cap Hill. Seattle needs more spots like this!

I popped in here with a hankering for a great sandwich and I'd say that I ended up getting an above average one, but not a great one. I think the "hole" part of HoneyHole really refers to the tiny seating area. There is a cute little bar with like six seats and the seating area is pretty compact, which could be uncomfortable for those like me who don't feel like being forced to hear the conversations of the people at the table next to you. This is definitely a Capitol Hill eatery, right down to the pirate ship theme at the bar. It's tiny, gritty and adorned with all kinds of random posters and stickers that you would expect from the area. While the pulled pork was definitely good, it wasn't quite enough to leave me wanting more, especially with so many other options in the area.

I have been addicted to the HoneyHole as soon as I started at SCCC earlier this year... One of my classmates brought me here, and I was sold. Surprisingly, I don't get sandwiches all too often (they are good, but never what I am looking for at the moment). I tend to go with Chef's salad (which is packed with toppings), and the small always seems to fill me up! But when I'm not grabbing just a bite to eat, 3 dollar beers are a STEAL, especially when they rotate pretty often. It satisfies two things that I like to do: 1. As already stated above, get a cheap beer. Mmmm 2. I like to try different beers, and when that list rotates.. mmm

Twas very busy for this first timer, scored a seat at the bar while waiting about 10 mins for my to-go chachi fave. Place is packed I saw 10 sans come out before mine. Diverse crowd in here. Lunch rushtime 1p. but DAMN the sandwich was good.

Pretty damn good! Nothing I dislike. The sandwiches are big and delicious, served reasonably quickly; I've also had a deconstructed sort of sandwich salad when in a hurry one day, and the kitchen showed itself impressively capable of pushing that out. Good beers. And you get a bit of delight with the check. What whimsy!

I have never not left happy and satisfied. They have a great selection of sandwiches for whatever mood you find yourself in. I ate here for the first time in a while with a friend, and didn't need a huge meal so I opted for 1/2 of the Big Smooth. Yummers! The feta and tempeh go well together and the Dijon mustard was delish. I look forward to the next time up in the neighborhood with a hankering for a good sand which.

How have I not written a review of Honeyhole yet? I live mere blocks from here, and though it's not one of my usual destinations I like to hit it up when I'm in the neighborhood to do some shopping (Babeland). I love their Texas Tease: chicken, bbq sauce, onions and cheddar served hot on a toasty roll. It's drippy, tangy and delicious. The fries are crispy and tasty, but a bit overcooked for my taste. I like several of their other sandwiches, but I think the "french" roll used for some of them is a bit plain and doughy (except when served hot and slathered in bbq). They have some tasty veggie options and salads too if you're looking for something more healthy. Honeyhole is a great spot for lunch, as long as you manage to avoid the lunch rush. I've been in the evening for drinks before and thought it seemed like a nice neighborhood hangout with a fun atmosphere and decent bar. Oh, and when you place your order at the counter, make sure they get your name down correctly. I didn't think "Nick" was too hard to comprehend, but my lunch today ended up being slightly delayed as it circled the restaurant in search of someone named "Kent."

I really do like the Honey Hole a lot. The food is delicious. I've tried most of their veggie sandwiches, and I haven't been disappointed. The french fries are delicious, as are the appetizers. Especially the artichoke dip! The ambiance is great--I feel like I'm back in NOLA when I eat here. There are a few small things about it that drive me crazy, though, and that's why I've docked a star: -The service is terrible. It's one of those places that has the "popular restaurant disease". They know they can do pretty much whatever they want, because if you don't like it, you can leave, and someone else can eagerly fill your spot. -No appetizers at lunch. This makes me sad face. -The portions are kind of small for the price you pay. -Apparently you aren't allowed to use the toilet.

Really delicious. Excellent beers on tap and all of the sandwiches I've tried have been amazing so there's no point singling any of them out specifically. There's different types of seating available which is nice depending on what you're in the mood for. The fries were okay, nothing special but I would totally pass on the cole slaw -- very dry and not what I was looking for.

My wife has a gluten allergy but grew up eating gluten products until she was diagnosed. As such, finding any bread-related product, such as sandwiches, that are good based on her memory of gluten and manage to slip past my very gluten-accustomed taste buds undetected and even impressed, is a constant foodie aspiration of ours. HoneyHole did just that. We went at lunch to get a sandwich for the walk back to downtown and WOW was it beautiful. A beautiful GF baguette, succulent chicken and other well chosen fillings. Yum! That's not to mention the style of the place too. I'd love to go back to sit down and eat a meal. I hope they keep doing what they're doing.

My wife and I shared a vegetarian sandwhich that was really good, the Bellisimo it was excellent! Happy hour drinks were not weak either, definitely worthy of a visit. Honeyhole is probably more of an unreal spot to check out if you eat meat and want a crazy good looking burger/sandwich. GREAT service however, thanks!

For some reason I've had a hard time finding a really good sandwich in this city. Most are your standard chains but honey hole changed everything for me. I love their take on sandwiches and how they use their meats. I'm a little embarrassed to say I haven't really veered from the Bandit because I'm so obsessed but I plan on trying everything eventually!

Warm wholesome sandwiches are a must on our often rainy days. The crunchy and soft bread soaks up the sauces, marination and just right condiments so your sammie isn't all slimy. The drinks are strong, presented well and tasty. The "small" house salad is my go-to in a crunch. The servers are attentive and cordial. The seating is great for small group conversations and you have lots of wacky ornaments to keep the your first time date busy with not too awkward small talk and tangentially related stories of piranhas and skeletons, because what else could you want to talk about with such outlandish and colorful creations floating above and beside your head?

We went for happy hour. I'm a vegetarian and was pleasantly surprised by the veggie sandwich options. I got a beer and the Bellissimo. The sandwich was fantastic. Visually it wasn't incredibly appealing (the tomato roast thing is...ummm...) but it tasted so good! When I saw the leftovers in my fridge today I was super excited. Will definitely go back and try a couple of the other veggie options.

This place is a great, funky find! Fantastic options for omnivores and vegetarian/vegans alike complete with friendly service! It's quite small and can fill up quickly, but pull up a chair if there's room! The sandwiches are perfectly toasted & delicious. Try one - they speak for themselves!

i've tried the el guapo (vegetarian) and the dude (meat-lover) and both were tasty! appreciated the integrity of their sturdy bread :) i'm a bread judger and enjoy it when the bread can stand up to the weight of all that saucy goodness. ALWAYS get with a side of fries! price point is steeper than your typical sandwich joint, but arguably much more goes into each sandwich. it gets pretty loud in here during peak hours, so be prepared to shout at your dining mate.

I don't know how they do it, but hands down the best sandwich I have ever had.

The go to sandwich in Capitol Hill. Honey hole makes some of the best hot and cold sandwiches and arguable the best fries on the hill. You won't leave hungry if you come here.

How come I didn't come here sooner!!! I got the bandit with pulled pork and cole slaw and I think I died a little bit. The sandwich was so good and I didn't feel absolutely disgusting afterwards. The fries were great and one extra cup of dipping sauce is enough for 2 to share. I'm excited to try more of their sandwiches, but I'll probably come around dinner time because the interior is not exactly day time friendly.

Amazing sandwiches during lunch time. They have different things offered for lunch and dinner. Went there during lunch. Arrived when it opened, so we have choice seating, but even after only being there for 15 min the place started to fill up quick and the line grew. They offered salads, soups and sandwiches during lunch time. The beer special of the day was Manny's for 3.75- so did that. They have a selection of cold and hot sandwiches. I ordered the "Dude"- flank steak, provolone, onions, tomato relish, greens, sweet hot mustard on a baguette + a side of fries (which is extra). My company ordered a "Texas Tease"- chicken breast, BBQ sauce, onions and cheddar. Both were hot and delicious. I actually filled up on my fries and beer, and could only eat 1/4 of my sandwich, but the leftovers were still delicious a few hours later. Definitely come here for a beer and a sandwich- they will not disappoint. Also, they have a variety of vegetarian sandwiches for those that choose not to partake in the juicy goodness of meat.

Friendly service, DELICIOUS sandwiches, and pretty good drinks. Seriously.. have the pork sandwich.. it's amazing. the only miss is that there is very little seating.

I really really wanted to love this place but it was just ok for me. Its probably more of an issue of my personal taste palate than service being bad or food being off. Servers were actually great and helpful, and both the Fast Eddie and Gooch were a good hearty size and well cooked. For me, it just felt more unidimensional in flavor and could have used more salt. But again, just my personal preference.

A little pricey, but the sandwiches are all tasty, even their brisket.
