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.

Really let down here. There was nothing about the brisket that was good. Cut too thick, cut wrong with the grain, and very tough. At $30/ pound I was hoping it would live up to the hype and the price. Too many options in the city to come back.The beans were good.

We stopped at this restaurant on our way back to Columbus after searching for some local BBQ. Even after traveling for 2 hours, the food was still delicious. Our favorite dishes were the wings and brisket. The mac and cheese had great flavor, but personally, I prefer baked macaroni. We would definitely return to this place.

Wow! Been here many times and each time it is great! The Brisket is incredible…. I’ve been to all the best brisket places in Austin, Lockhart, KC, etc and Bee’s is on par with any of them. Super nice people and amazing Q! Thanks Bee’s
