Description

Bee's BBQ offers a mixed experience that captivates with its flavorful offerings while presenting some challenges. Diners rave about the tender brisket and incredible wings, placing the restaurant on par with renowned barbecue destinations. However, issues like limited hours, item shortages, and inconsistent preparation have drawn some criticism, particularly regarding the brisket’s toughness and the mediocre sides. Despite these shortcomings, the warm service and generous portions, along with kid-friendly outdoor seating, create a welcoming atmosphere. Calling ahead for availability is advisable to make the most of your visit to this local favorite.

I am giving this restaurant a three-star rating just to draw attention. I personally think the food is very good. I have only tried the ribs and brisket. One downside of this place is its limited hours and it often runs out of items shortly after opening. I wonder how much they had in stock when they first opened. It would be a good idea to call ahead and check what is available before visiting.

Incredible! I had never been to this restaurant before. I called ahead and ordered for a party of 7. The service was excellent. I'm looking forward to visiting the new location and enjoying a date night with my partner. We ordered the Bee Sting with mac and cheese and corn bread. The sauce was delicious, the meat was tender, and the portion size was generous. Keep up the great work! It's wonderful to see a local establishment thriving. Parking is available on both sides of the small, not very busy street. Wait outside for your food as the lobby is small.
