The food is good, but a $2.50 transaction fee when paying with cash is crazy. We weren't sure what that was all about. Chalk it up to gouging the customer I guess. Not sure if we will be back. read more

Deliciously crispy, sauced-up wings! My go-to here is the medium garlic mixed with the garlic parm sauce. I love that they let you mix the sauces together for your wings. I know the picture doesn't do the sauce justice, but I swear the wings were sitting in a puddle of medium garlic sauce deliciousness. Their fries and fried pickle chips are also incredible! Let it be known though that when you order large fries, they really do give you like an insane amount of fries haha. This place does get super packed on the weekends even though they have a decent amount of seating available (yes it's just that popular). Thankfully, Hourglass right next-door lets you bring in food. So we ordered to-go and popped in next door for a couple beers while we ate these bomb-a$$ wings. read more

1st and last time. I called ahead an order for a burger and was told 15-20 minutes. I get there 23 minutes after I ordered and I am told they will START my burger. I ask what the point of ordering ahead and being told 15-20 minutes was and was told "we don't start wings until you get here. I reminded them I ordered a burger not wings and was told to talk to the manager. I go speak to the manager - Tristan and what I got was an unapologetic and another "that's how we do things". I explained the whole reason I ordered ahead was because I was running late for a trip, and she shrugged - Lack of being upfront when I called and simply giving a shit by the manager Tristen is enough of a reason I won't be back. read more

​Papa Bees is a Longwood institution, and because it's right next door to Hourglass Brewing, it's my usual go-to for takeout while playing Wednesday night Bingo. The convenience factor is 10/10, and the food in the photos looks absolutely incredible--which is why the actual experience has been such a letdown lately. ​The Wings: Honestly, they're just "okay." They're fine for a quick snack while grabbing a beer, but they don't quite live up to the local hype. They get the job done, but they aren't something I'd go out of my way for if I weren't already at the brewery. ​The Fries (My Worst Enemy): This is where things fall apart. The pictures make these fries look golden and crispy, but the reality has been a massive disappointment. Out of the four times I've ordered them, two of those times they were missing from my to-go bag entirely. The two times I actually did receive the fries, they were inedible. One time they were burnt to a crisp, and this most recent time they were completely soggy. To make matters worse, there was zero salt or seasoning on them both times. ​ ​While the staff is generally quick, the consistency on to-go orders is lacking. Having to walk back over from the brewery to ask for missing items twice out of four visits is frustrating when you're trying to enjoy an evening out. ​ ​If you're ordering takeout to bring into Hourglass, check your bag at the counter before you leave. Missing items seem to be a recurring theme. If you're craving a side, you might be better off sticking to the celery and carrots or grabbing a snack from one of the other nearby spots until the fry consistency improves. read more

I have heard about Papa Bees for a while and I am so happy I finally got to try it! We went for a lunch break while at work. The restaurant was packed but we were able to grab a table by the bar. Even though they were busy, it didn't take long to get drinks or food. I ordered the medium garlic parm boneless wings with carrots and blue cheese. They were so delicious! I think next time I will get the bone in wings, I just didn't want to get messy while eating this visit. read more

We've been loyal customers since the original Papa's location, but something has gone seriously wrong. The food now has a nasty, off-putting aftertaste -- we strongly suspect the grease is rancid. This is especially noticeable with the fries, which used to be the main reason we came here. They were once the best in Seminole County by far. Today we ordered 20 wings, 2 fries, and 3 drinks and the total came to over $50. For that price and this quality, we wouldn't give them a dime anymore. Huge letdown. We won't be back. read more

Good food and atmosphere but menu was NOT accurate. I ordered takeout and the PAPA BEE sandwich was not as advertised. The sandwich i got had beef, turkey, bacon, provolone, lettuce, tomato. The menu listed roast beef, provolone, lettuce tomato and garlic with balsamic drizzle. I'm sure it's OK, just not what I wanted read more

I meet friends here once a month for lunch. We love their wings and used to love their fries. The new ones don't hold the curlyque and fall apart into small pieces. Service is generally good and most drinks are refillable. The vibe is casual and there's a discount if you pay in cash. read more

My kid is a chicken wing lover. He looooves to dig in to some juicy flavorful bone-in wings. I will say this is his number one spot to go to. Everyone is always super nice every time we visit. & I never have to wait around for my server to bring me a refill or to attend my table to check on us. They have a TouchTunes inside where you can create your own vibe while eating so I always love how there's always a variety of music playing from different people, just enjoying their food. Never disappoints with the wings being crispy, juicy and meaty. And hands down so far the best fried pickles I've ever had. This will always be our chicken wing spot read more

We ordered food while at the neighboring Brewery. It was quick service but my sandwich and our fries were cold/soggy with zero salt. The wing sauces tasted like they were straight from bottles. The garlic parm sauce came as a cup of butter/oil and a separate cup of powdered Parmesan, it was weird and not convenient. We were not impressed with any of the food we ate. read more

Came in for a cheese steak. It took a very long time to get our cheese steak, meanwhile the wings were flying out of the kitchen. When our sandwich came the bread had been toasted on the grill and it was completely black on one side. It tasted like eating burnt toast with grilled Grease. The steak was okay not much flavor the waitress was attentive. The place was semi-packed so there was no reason for us to wait over 20 minutes for a cheese steak. To top it off the added fee at the end of your check makes you not want to come back. I think this is our first and only trip. read more

Establishment looked clean. Service was friendly. I ordered to-go due to limited time. I ordered the fries, hot garlic & lemon pepper mix, honey bbq, and hot sweet Thai chilli. I did enjoy the food. My order was correct.. the first appear to be made in house. The Hot is not really all that hot, but it does have a really good flavor. I enjoyed the lemon pepper (dry rub) mix the best. If this place wasn't 45 min from where i live, i would go back again. But if I happen to be on that side of town and I'm in the mood for wings, i would go back . read more

Hands down the best wings in town! Papa Bees is my go-to spot for both boneless and traditional wings. The hot honey garlic flavor is my personal favorite, not too spicy but packed with flavor. The wings are always perfectly cooked and super juicy. I also love the fresh spiral cut fries; they're the perfect crispy side to go with the wings. They've got great beer specials, and if you're in the mood for something different, you can always bring a drink from Hourglass Brewery right next door. One thing to keep in mind, it's always a bit chilly inside, so definitely bring a hoodie if you're planning to stay a while. read more

Not a bad meal at all but not great. The wings were large and definitely the best part. They were fresh, plump, and tasty. We got the hot garlic which was marginally spicy but smelled much spicier. The bleu cheese sauce was great but the ranch lacked much luster. My hubby enjoyed his patty melt. The fries were super thin and definitely homemade. They could have used more salt but were still a pleasant surprise. The only downfall was my burger. I got a standard cheeseburger and while I appreciated the char, it was a very dirty tasting char. It definitely tasted like the grill needed a good cleaning to bring out a less muddy and more robust char flavor. I really couldn't eat much of it but the fries and wings absolutely made up for it. Overall a great spot to pair with the brewery next door. read more

Papa Bees has some of the best wings in town -- crispy, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Their curly fries are unbeatable too; perfectly seasoned and the ideal side to go with any order. It's one of those classic local spots that always hits the spot, whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout. On a friendly note, I'd love to see them introduce a few elevated sauce options or maybe a wing night special to compete with some of the other local bars. It would make an already great place even better. Either way, Papa Bees stays a favorite -- awesome wings, incredible fries, and a reliable go-to for comfort food done right. read more

We were hanging out at the venue next door. Super easy to order. Walked over to grab a menu, called in our order, and they texted when order was ready. Super easy. Mac n cheese bites were delicious. We also had the buffalo dog and 10 honey garlic wings. The wings were great but holy cow the honey dripped out of the box into everything. Friendly service and ease of ordering read more

I've always heard people rave about Papa Bees for their wings, and now I totally understand why! We finally got the chance to try it, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We stopped in later in the evening to place a to-go order. Inside has a ton of seating and TVs throughout if you want to dine in, though. They have a dedicated counter for takeout orders and even text you when your food is ready- which only took about 10 minutes! We ordered both boneless ($11.99 for 10) and traditional wings ($15.99 10) in the medium garlic sauce, and wow the smell alone had us excited. The flavor was unreal! The wings were big, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The boneless ones were my favorite. We also split a small order of fries with cheese sauce, and let me tell you, the "small" is huge! Definitely a great addition to the meal. If you're a wing lover, this spot is a must-try. We'll definitely be back! read more

Got takeout at Papa Bees and it was unfortunately pretty disappointing. When we called to order we were told 15 minutes and we got there 15 minutes later but ended up waiting almost 30. The website was pretty unhelpful, with no menu available so we had to find a picture on Yelp that someone else posted and hope that it was the current menu. I got the garlic parmesan sauce and it didn't stick to the wings, it just fell into a pile at the bottom of the container. It needs to be mixed with something so that it's more of a sauce, it's just parmesan cheese, garlic and butter mixed but not even enough butter to make it a sauce. We also got the fried mushrooms and they were ok, they didn't hav e much flavor. Overall it was a pretty subpar dinner, hopefully this was just a fluke! read more

Friday night my daughter placed an order for some wings. Papa Bees been around for a while and was VOTED Best Wings in Longwood area.

Got our order and immediately went in for the fries LOL. Go check em out! read more

Unfortunately I had to remove my 5-star review. The wings are still solid and the staff has always been friendly. However, they are now charging a transaction fee for any card use, including debit cards. I've heard of fees for credit cards, but a $2.95 charge just to use a debit card was unexpected. From what I can find, debit card fees are not allowed, which makes this even more frustrating. I don't support added fees like this, so unfortunately I won't be returning. read more

Fantastic Wings as always... Now a response: "On Super Bowl Sunday, they turned off their phones and refused to take orders in person and they decided to close early at 6:30! We saw people in the store casually eating and the kitchen was closed. Out of all the times to close the store, this was not the right time. I will never go back to this store again. Absolutely ridiculous! We will gladly go far out of our way to avoid this store now." On Super Bowl Sunday: They left a message stating that "if you want to come up before 6:30 that you could order in person" I called, got the message, I drove up, ordered my wings and had a great time... I'll gladly go back twice as much now to make up for Whiners whom can't understand that the world doesn't revolve around them... read more

3.5 out of 5 We were heading to a local area and decided to stop for a quick meal beforehand. Wandered through Ronald Reagan and stopped here. It was pretty packed with families enjoying their Friday. We pulled up at the bar since my best friend and I planned to get in and out fast. My stomach was acting up, so I went with a salad and grilled chicken. My best friend did the chicken salad with fried chicken. Both salads came out in the wooden bowls and with a plastic knife. What? We had to request a fork, but I think the kitchen was just busy. The salad was good, about a full cup of chopped up, grilled chicken with a few croutons, and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Nothing out of this world, but it filled me up without upsetting my belly, so I was good. ($12). The service was good, my soda was filled quickly, and the food came out equally fast. read more

This place serves the greatest wings I've had in my entire life, dead serious. My personal favorite is the garlic parmesan - the wings come out hot and crispy and are DRENCHED with the garlic parmesan mixture. I truly cannot put into words how good they were. I felt like I was going to cry tears of joy after eating them. I immediately told all my friends about the place. Their blue cheese dressing is good too, the flavor is mild and creamy, which definitely adds to the experience of eating the wings. The sweet thai chili wings are also good, the sauce is tangy, sweet, and mildly spicy. Not as good as the garlic parm but still very enjoyable. I don't have a whole lot to say about the service, though all the waiters I've had were fairly kind and attentive. read more

We came on a Saturday evening and the place was packed! We were told a 30 minute wait but that turned into one hour. So beware if you are hangry or under a time constraint. The dining area became very warm and humid while awaiting for a table. Right before we were getting ready to leave and find another restaurant they called us for our table. Wings are 5/10. Price is reasonable for the area. Fries are " okay" and serve with malt. Music good Floor filthy. read more

Food: The Mac and Cheese Bites were good and the best of what we ordered. The Garlic Parmesan boneless wings were okay, nothing outstanding. The spicy teriyaki was mid and nothing to write home about, they weren't horrible and the spicy level was enjoyable and not painful. We got the 10 boneless wings each, they don't allow splitting of flavors which loses points for us. Atmosphere: Music is millennial and annoying, no volume on the TVs and the media that IS playing is trash and ads. Clean restaurant and moderately nice staff. They were super quick with our order and parking isn't too much of a hassle. read more

They tout themselves as the "Best Wings in Town", I have to say, there is some truth in that advertisement... Located in a strip mall on one of the main drags through Longwood, you find this place quite hopping on a Saturday afternoon, well after lunch and well before dinner. My son and I stopped in to put some food in us before our brewery hop this Saturday afternoon and we weren't disappointed by the place. The service was friendly, the food was good, and their boneless wings were downed and finished easily. Definitely a place to drop in and try and give a try. read more

Great wings and good value. The curly fries were really good but needed salt. The wings are huge and really good. I like that they're still crunchy but covered in sauce. We took this to go but the people who took our order were friendly and the food came out pretty fast. The restaurant on the inside is pretty big and they have outdoor seating as well. Great to grab some food and take outside and have a beer from hourglass brewing next door. I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 because the fries were not crispy and needed salt and I wish there were more sauce options. read more

Papa Bees is a spot I've heard about forever but times just didn't line up for me to go. So when a friend suggested there and I was already free in the area, I gave it a shot. The wings did not disappoint and I see why they're loved by so many locals of the area. I'm not a fan of the fries but all else chicken wise is a hit. Drinks aren't bad either and a great selection of beers. Anything missing in that department is easily squared away by the brewery in the place just 2 doors down. read more
