Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in Cornelius, North Carolina, The Honey Baked Ham Company stands out as a beloved local destination for those seeking top-quality traditional American fare with a gourmet twist. Specializing in everything from succulent hams and deli classics to box lunches and catered meals, this establishment offers more than just a meal—it promises a comforting and satisfying culinary experience that has become a cherished holiday tradition for many.

At the heart of their offerings is their signature ham, renowned for its moist texture and rich, unforgettable flavor. Customers like Mike Crum celebrate its extraordinary taste so much that he not only recommends it for Thanksgiving but also for Christmas, noting that while it comes at a premium price, the exceptional quality is well worth every penny. The ham itself is a symphony of smoky sweetness and tender juiciness that truly elevates any festive table.

Beyond their celebrated hams, The Honey Baked Ham Company also excels as a deli and sandwich shop. Their gourmet grocery items and gift shop selections make perfect complements or gifts to bring a slice of their culinary craftsmanship home. Whether you’re picking up a thoughtfully prepared box lunch or ordering catering for a large event, the attentive and friendly staff ensure your experience is smooth and personalized.

As noted by customer Flutts, even during hectic Christmas rushes, the staff maintain courtesy and speed without compromising quality or friendliness. This balance of professionalism and genuine care is what keeps customers returning year after year.

This ham is outstanding. It's a little pricey but if you want a great ham, it's worth it. It has the best flavor. I had one at Thanksgiving and had to buy my own for Christmas. You won't be disappointed. They do have a walk in restaurant but I just picked up my ham today. Google the menu if you want to eat in.

My wife had ordered a ham 2 days before Thanksgiving, on the HoneyBaked website, she must have done something wrong. I stood in line for about 25 minutes which considering there were 50 people in front of me was not bad, got to the front and there was not a ham reserved for me. The gentleman at the register went in the back and worked his magic! We had ham for Thanksgiving! will never go anywhere to get a honey-baked ham except from this location!

Was very busy right before Christmas but the staff was courteous and efficient. Line was moving quickly. People working there were moving fast but still polite and the ham itself was moist and oh so good!

Outstanding job to Honey Baked Ham in Cornelius. The store was packed with pickup orders today for Christmas, and their organization was exceptional, and they were extremely friendly. We were in and out in under 5 minutes, even with a long line. They are an example of how takeout around the holidays should work. Thank you, Honey Baked Ham, for the stress-free and fantastic experience. I can't recommend them enough.

Hamming it up turns out their rewards program is useless. Several hundred dollars later can’t access my account and “system” in store has my phone number used when registering but the cashier cannot see my rewards. So don’t believe ANT of their scan this code, create an account or any other BOGUS offer. It’s as worthless and any SCAM message or email. But the ham is AWESOMELY expensive but sweetly tasty!!

They have a great method to get you served and back out the door! Lots of side dishes in the cabinets as you walk to the counter and the sides are not overpriced... Supply and demand drives the ham prices but the meat is so good!
