We've been getting our special occasion hams from the Honey Backed company for years. The have an excellent product line, albeit a tad pricey, but worth it during the holidays. The store is always very clean and the staff is very courteous.
On my travels, got to visit the Honeybaked Ham and Cafe in Citrus Heights, CA. And let me say, the cafe is classy. I appreciate the price point of the sandwhich selections. I tried the "Turkey Bacon Ranch" sandwich which is $6.00. It consisted of choice of Bread (they have a selection), Honeybaked Ham, Turkey, Bacon, Chedder Cheese, The usual Vegetable condiments (Tomato, onion), and Avocado.
Let me tell you, the way they created the sandwhich had been true to the name of the sandwhich. Meaning, they were not skimpy on the ingredients of the namesake. That Ham, Turkey, Bacon was perfectly cooked crispy (was stacked and interlaced to cover every inch of the sandwhich) and the Ranch Dressing. I really appreciate that they sandwhich artists put plenty of Bacon on the sandwhich.
I was offered 2 sides and a bottled drink for 4 dollars more. The side I selected was Chedder Potatoes (cooked like au gratin, but without the seasoning) that also had sizable pieces of Ham and some Chives that added to the great flavor of the cheese sauce. The other side selections are a choice of Soup or Salad. I selected the Salad which has Romain Lettuce, Field Greens,Tomato, Purple Cabbage and Red Bell Pepper (that gave an extra flavor and crunch) while topped with Ranch Dressing I drizzled from a side ramekin.
The the time of having my lunch was at 1:15pm on a Thursday. The Sandwhich Artist offered me samples of their Turkey a couple of times. There were a couple of people ordered some Ham and some Turkey. The Cafe area was empty and clear. My lunch experience there was fantastic, reasonably priced and I give a Solid 5 Stars rating because they honor Military d Veterans even though they didn't officially have a discount. I appreciate, they Discounted on the of the sides (the Cheesy Potato) w/ $2 off. Awesome and thank you!!!
This store is amazing around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays with there streamlined operations for picking up our orders. I recommend the ordering ahead option online which aids in this process. Also, if you are not in a huge hurry going later in the afternoon can help you avoid the biggest rush which usually occurs before noon.
Awesome job HBH! It was busy today and you guys were fast and friendly! You even had parking attendants to help! I also love that you had free samples of turkey and all kinds of extras showcased and easy to grab. I grabbed a cute tall carrot cake that will feed an army! Ordering ahead online was so easy. And we cant wait to eat our ham. Thank you for an awesomely executed pick up!
The ham itself was excellent (always is). But the reason for this review is to commend and thank the staff at the Sunrise Blvd. location for making the Thanksgiving pick-up a smooth and relatively stress-free process.
The parking lot was a little bit hectic (made better by a couple of attendants directing the flow of cars), but their in-store experience was fast and super friendly.
Thanks for the deliciuos han and for taking some of the stress out of the holiday experience!
Well this is my second year with this particular firm and I am quite pleased with the experience.
I picked my turkey and ham up 2 days before Thanksgiving and I strongly suggest that others do the same.
The website has adequate amount of information and if you call on the phone during regular hours the people are pretty easy to get to and they answer your questions and they're quite accommodating.
We bought Christmas ham there last year at $72, This year the same ham is 95 to $100. The ham is wonderful wonderful flavors the only ham I can eat that does not make me sick. But just way too expensive as my husband and I are on social security. Unfortunately we will be getting our ham elsewhere..
