The same owner and cook from the beginning a few years ago!! My wife and I love this place. We've been here a few times and has not disappointed us. This particular time we were craving brisket and it melted in our mouths. We shared the Full 1 lb brisket meal. Added Cole slaw, side salad and 1/2 skillet cornbread!! The establishment is an old house turned tavern. Nicely decorated and lots of TV to take care of the sports needs you have. You can also sit outside when it's nice out.

Sinners & Saints is close to my house, but it's on a stretch of road that I rarely travel. When…read moregoing to or from downtown I almost always use Columbia Parkway and rarely go along Riverside Drive. Sinners & Saints is one of only a few restaurants along this nearly 4-mile stretch. One evening I made a special trip down Riverside to visit. I really enjoyed this stop and will have to make a special trip again in the future. For starters, their smoked & stuffed jalapeños are delightful ($10)! Sausage, cream cheese, and cheddar are all inside, wrapped with bacon and smoked. They come served with house BBQ sauce on the side, but you may not even need it. The smoke flavor is really there on the bacon and mixes well with the creamy filling. For dinner, the naan street tacos are a solid choice. Pulled pork, peach BBQ, source cream, pickled onion, and green onion are packed inside of garlic naan and served taco style ($16). This is served with a very large side of mac and cheese. It is quite a filling meal! The tacos were great and the naan holds up really well to the juices and sauces, as compared to a soft corn shell.

We came on a Sunday to grab some BBQ before the football games. We ordered ribs and wings,…read moreunfortunately they were already out of brisket. The wings itself were very small. The ribs were a little dried out and tough to eat. I have been here more than once and had a better experience our first time. I do love to eat local and hope the next time we come we get a better experience. The dry rub flavor on the wings were sweeter than I thought it would be and tasted like Grippos seasoning. Hopefully I will be back soon to try again.

Everything about this place was lovely. The person that served us, the positive messaging and of…read morecourse the food! We loved it all - the tangy Cole slaw, the tasty greens and the delicious baked beans. I didn't have room to even taste the Mac and cheese because my ribs were calling me too loudly! I answered with eating almost all. It was easy to do so because they were falling off the bone. By all accounts my husband and son enjoyed it because they didn't have leftovers! Go check this place out!

I haves lived in Madisonville for 26 years. I guess I'm part of the 'gentrification' but let's not…read morego there huh. Today I craved a good pulled pork sandwich. Bee's BBQ was nearby & the right obvious choice. Located down a side street off the main drags - Madison & Whetzel - the small quirky storefront is really a 'hole in the wall' operation. Stepping into the place (don't hit your noggin on the door closer ) you'll find yourself standing in the lobby / counter area the size of a Russian golag prison cell. Get cozy with all the other customer / order placers because you'll literally be squeezed next to them like a sardine in a tin can. But none of this really matters because it's all about the experience right! You'll see the menu board - old fashion style - showing the offerings & its price. I got pulled pork & it was just $9. To make it even better.. you can get pickles and or onion put on it for FREE!! To make it even more crazy... I was told that a bag of Grippo's chips is tossed in as well. Who knew? That's all I feel like writing for now so call me if you want to know more

Go get it, while they've got it, because it won't last long!…read more Bee's consistently has got it going on! It's quite a drive for me, at 40 minutes, but it is worth every delicious bite. Over my visits there, I've had the brisket, ribs, baked beans, cornbread and a few other items. The ribs are fantastic. Juicy and seasoned to perfection. They're meaty and satisfying in every way. I have to say the same about the brisket. A good portion, sliced beautifully and tastes as good as it looks. Almost every BBQ joint can occasionally have a day where maybe the meat was left on the smoker 5 minutes too long. And anyone who knows smoked meats knows that minutes can make a big difference. I've not yet had that experience at Bee's. Now, this Bee's location is very unassuming. It's smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood and if you blink while driving down the street, you'll miss it. It has always amazed me how such a small place can bust out so much great food. There is no restaurant seating. It is a walk in with a simple counter right at the front entrance. They do have a number of picnic tables outside, so if the weather's nice, you can enjoy your food outside. If not, you'll probably have to take it home. And good luck getting all the way home without diving into the bag and eating in the car. It's nearly impossible to smell that delicious fog of smoked ecstasy that is permeating the fabric of your car without your mouth watering out of control. Go ahead and try it. Good luck with that. Here's my only negative thing with Bee's, and I must stress that this is merely a personal preference. I feel that their sauce falls a little flat. I do like my BBQ sauce to have a little kick, a little sweet and some tang with it. I've always found Bee's sauce to be just a little on the bland side. There's a catch to this though - the MEAT makes the meal. Good meat doesn't really need sauce. But, again as a personal preference, I do like a good BBQ sauce to compliment the meat. Would I go back? Let's just say that the 40 minute drive is actually healthy for me. If it was any closer, I am highly confident that I would have astronomical blood pressure and gridlocked arteries. No question. But I go back every single time that I'm in the area and also whenever I can't shake the thought of it. Pro Tip: Get there early and/or call ahead. Calling ahead may not always get you the results you need though. I have tried before and receive their voice mail. It's a small operation and, no doubt, they're busy slinging the golden meats of the Gods. You may also want to check their Facebook page for any announcements. There was at least one time that I tried to go and they were closed. They announced this closing on their website, but I hadn't thought ahead enough to check.

My day immediately brightened when I tasted the salmon croquette. Full of flavor and massive, the croquette was just like my grandmother used to make! I also got a side of potatoes and onions. Once again, a seasoned-to-perfection taste of home. I didn't need the salt packets or hot sauce I requested! Now, if you're watching your pressure, this might need to be a sometimes food, but I would recommend the quality, value, and taste to anyone. I saw on the menu that they have fried ribs and I will be back to try them.
