Cheap, quick, and DELICIOUS.Nestled among coffee shops and vintage stores in Capitol Hill, Honey Hole Sandwiches is one of those gem of a spots that you will label in your go-to folder for a date or an out-of-town visitor. You know, the mental list of restaurants, parks, attractions, bars, and general Seattle what-not that will deliver a good time, every time, without any disappointments or fancy strings, just plain ol’ fun and dependable.
The Honey Hole is known for their sandwiches, first and foremost. Between the day and night menu, cold and hot, vegetarian or not, the choices are endless. The first time I went, it was a rainy summer day, and I channeled my past Hawaiian summer vacations by ordering the Buford T. Justice, a tangy pulled pork sandwich drizzled with pineapple BBQ sauce and melted provolone on a French roll. To add to my delight, I complemented the scrumptious treat with a Two Beers Blonde Ale. Yes, that’s right. Honey Hole is not just a jazzed-up Subway, but boasts a fully stocked bar as well.
Honey Hole also serves burgers, salads, and other light fare, but as they say, their sandwiches are “almost legendary.” The second time I returned, it was a casual evening visit to start the night off. My date and I shared the onion ring and French fry platter, and the mouthwatering taste overruled any concerns I had had before with my bikini body. The lights were dim and we selfishly snagged a larger booth in the front but were the couple who sat annoyingly close. I gadged him out while sipping on a blueberry lemondrop; he gadged me while drinking a Pacifico. I’m originally from Southern California, and anywhere that I can get a sandwich and a Paicfico for $9 has scored a place in my heart. Honey Hole, I adore you.
