HoneyHole Sandwiches explained
HoneyHole Sandwiches is a sandwich restaurant in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington. Established in 1999, the business closed in October 2023, before being relaunched in 2024.[1]
Previously, HoneyHole operated an outpost that rebranded as Beck's Bar and Grill.[2]
Description
HoneyHole Sandwiches is a sandwich restaurant on Pike Street, on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Previously, the business operated a second location on Jefferson in the First Hill / Central District area.[3] [4] Seattle Metropolitan has described the Pike location as a "jolly alt dive".[5]
The restaurant has hot and cold sandwiches, as well as sides such as French fries,[6] [7] coleslaw, potato salad, and a house salad.[8] The menu has sandwiches named Emilio Pestovez and the Texas Tease, which has shredded barbecue chicken.[9] [10] The Buford T. Justice has pork and pineapple,[11] the Daytripper has hummus,[12] and the Pilgrim has been marketed as "Thanksgiving dinner on a roll".[13] The Built to Satisfy is a classic BLT.[14]
History
Established in 1999, the restaurant was founded by brothers Sean and Devon London; Hannah Roberts was also a co-owner.[15] Kristin and Patrick Rye purchased the business in 2021.[16] The 4,000-square-foot outpost opened in 2021, adding 30 employees.[17] It later closed and was replaced by Beck's Bar and Grill.[18] [19]
In May 2023 former employees alleged that there had been paycheck irregularities and late payment, in addition to a toxic work environment under the management of Kristin Rye.[20] [21] The couple sold the business to general manager Evan Bramer in August 2023.[22]
On October 31, 2023, Bramer was reported to have disappeared, leaving employees unpaid and unsupported.[23] [24] Travis Rosenthal reopened the Capitol Hill shop in March 2024.[25]
Reception
HoneyHole won in the Best Sandwich category of Seattle Magazine's annual readers' poll in 2018.[26] The business was included in the Daily Hive 2021 list of Seattle's best sandwich eateries.[27] Caitlin Flynn included HoneyHole in Eat This, Not That 2022 list of "The Best Spot to Get a BLT in Every State".
