Boise recently got a Honey Baked Ham Co. on 2/20/23, I stopped by to check it out. I wanted to share these pictures with you, so you would know what to expect if you visited the store. Having never been to a HBHC before, I was surprised to see they have family meals available, as well as ready to make soups, condiments, and a large freezer case full of meats, side dishes, and desserts.
I tried The Ham Classic ($8.49) - Honey Baked Ham, topped with Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and hickory honey mustard, on a flaky croissant. I wasn’t expecting an authentic croissant, but my bread was dry and my sandwich would have benefited from a little bit more liberal use of mayo and hickory honey mustard. The ham was okay.
If I was going to rate my experience based simply on the sandwich, I would give it 2 stars. However, I’m going to bump it up to 3 stars because the service was excellent! I think it’s important to give this business some slack because it is relatively new, and I’m sure like everyone else, they’re having a hard time finding people to hire, as well as challenges in maintaining their staff. I also think it’s hard to rate a business based on one menu item, and everyone can have an off day. I liked that there was a lot of available free parking, the convenient location next to the mall, and the nice indoor seating.
The ambience was casual. This business is set up so you can conveniently purchase and/or order items to go, or sit there and enjoy one of their lunch offerings. This business is located next to Panda Express. So if you’re picking up food to go, but have family members that don’t like ham, it would be very easy to pick up Chinese food for...
Read moreMy husband asked me to surprise him for lunch today so I decided to stop into The Honey Baked Ham Company today. It was my first time here and I was excited to see what kind of goodies they offered.
Walking in, the venue is bright and clean! They had a couple racks of goodies for sale. Soup mixes, sauces and cake. There were a a few tables for guests to have their meal it. It was very nice and open. I believe Joey was his name. He greeted me! Showed me the menu and gave me all the time to look it over. After a couple questions, I ordered the ham sandwich lunch.
My husband's sandwich looked delicious! It was stacked with ham, fresh lettuce and tomatoes. It was on a buttery croissant. It also had a honey mustard on it as well. The lunch came with a bag of chips and a cold bottle of Sprite. My husband left no crumbs! He ate it all and he didn't even offer me a bite. With that being said I'm sure it was a fantastic sandwich!
I'm happy I got to come in and experience this place. Joey was so kind! He made an amazing sandwich for my husband. I look forward to coming back and grabbing lunch for my husband again. And grabbing a bigger...
Read moreThis place completely destroyed my family's holiday dinner. Showed up on Saturday to pick up the ham I ordered and confirmed but was told that they had a system error and/or a shipping issue. That caused them to fall short on many holiday hams. And nobody bothered to call us in advance to help us find an alternative in time for the holiday. And of course ever other quality ham in town was sold out at 4pm on Saturday before Easter. What an absolute disgrace. I am happy to put things into perspective in on the scale of issues that one can have. But I just don't think people should give this place their money or their trust. It's not about an issue they had, it's the sheer fact that nobody even bothered to call the customers. Very...
