This review is based solely on the oven roasted turkey breast. I just picked one up along with several sides, but won't be cooking the sides til tomorrow (more to come). After opening and sampling the turkey, I couldn't believe my taste buds! The sweet glaze they apply is sickeningly sweet and crunchy like thin toffee. It would be so even on a salty hunk of ham. It has a strange and unpleasant flavor. Thankfully, pretty much the whole glaze came off like a loose turtle shell. However, the flavor remains on the edges and is infused in to the turkey. It tastes like horribly sweet and burnt caramel. The skin is gone, so forget that delicacy. When served, the edges will have to be trimmed away. The turkey (sans the glaze (barf)) is at least tender. I hope that heating the trimmed turkey slices in the ($15!) gravy will offset/cover up the horrible burnt caramel flavor. Turkey is supposed to be savory Honey Baked Ham... It's not supposed to be coated like an ice cream Sunday.
Unless the aforementioned and yet to to be tried sides are spectacular, I will never patronize Honey Baked Ham again.
SO DISAPPOINTED!
I have brought honeybaked ham for years, but not from this location and it’s always been delicious. This year the Naperville location sold me the worst Thanksgiving, ham and turkey in my life no exaggeration—$122 for oven roasted turkey and smaller ham. Both were very dry and hardly edible. I tried making sandwiches but it was just not palatable. Family did not like it either.
I called and spoke to the manager Mike, who told me to email him pictures??? He said he would call me back right away. That was four days ago. Crickets. I called today and Mike is “out“ but will call me back. Once again, crickets. I ended up buying a fresh turkey cooking it myself.
Delicious honey ham deli sandwich, the potato salad was fresh and the macadamia nut cookies are ridiculously good! Super good lunch spot, a must try. Looking forward to returning
I ordered pickup in the store of the ham slices. Did not need a total ham yet. The packaging is so convenient and instructive for how to store your purchase. I was surprised at just how much ham I received ~ well-priced!
Hard to go wrong with Honey baked ham co. Dropped in for a non holiday visit and they offered the good stuff, ham and Swiss on croissants and sliders. Definitely worth a visit
