About

Honey Bee Ham & Deli is a family-run local deli on Research Forest Drive that's been at its Woodlands home since 1994. It's an old-school counter spot where the breads are baked fresh, the portions are generous, and lunch stays affordable — the kind of place regulars praise for "a great burger without spending an arm."

The menu runs from made-to-order deli sandwiches, wraps, salads, and soups to a Best-Burger-in-the-County patty (100% Black Angus, hand-formed and seasoned). The deli is also known for its spiral-sliced honey-glazed hams and smoked or Cajun-fried turkeys, and it runs a busy catering operation of box lunches and sandwich trays. There's a kids' menu for children 10 and under, and takeout and delivery are available.

Honey Bee Ham & Deli is located at 4747 Research Forest Dr, Suite 495, The Woodlands, TX 77381, phone (281) 364-9200, open Monday–Friday 10 a.m.–7 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.–4 p.m. (closed Sunday).
