Ham lovers — and that includes me — will be delighted that the Honey Baked Ham Co. chain has opened in Warwick at 300 Quaker Lane (Route 2) in the shopping center at the corner of Cowesett Avenue.

We stopped by for one of their classic Honey Baked sandwiches ($9.99) loaded with freshly sliced ham, lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese on a croissant with Duke’s special mayonnaise. It was one of the best ham sandwiches I’ve ever eaten.

While there are tables for dine-in, Honey Baked Ham is a big take-out business.

Honey Baked Ham sells for $17.49 a pound, cheaper when you buy more than four pounds.

Honey Baked Boneless Ham (cooked longer and slower) sells for $16.49 a pound.

The franchise also sells pork, beef, home baked turkey breast, and ham and chicken salad.

“Heat & serve” sides make for a complete ham dinner, including everything you would find in an Easter dinner.

Priced at $12.99, they include double cheddar macaroni and cheese, country cornbread stuffing, homebaked beans, loaded smashed potatoes and more.

For desserts, I tried the triple chocolate cake and the vanilla rum cake samples. Both were fresh and yummy. Whole cakes go for $18.99 to $26.99.

Calories are listed on all items.

They also do catering.
