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]

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. [1] [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 's 2021 list of Seattle's best sandwich eateries. [27] Caitlin Flynn included HoneyHole in Eat This, Not That 's 2022 list of "The Best Spot to Get a BLT in Every State". [14]
