Very good and great for large parties with their party packs of various BBQ meat. Good service and orders are ready when promised.

Great value bbq! Service was quick and easy for takeout. Brisket was tender. Potato salad and coleslaw were fresh. Overall, food was good. Place itself is somewhat small. read more

I had the 1 meat, 2 sides. The pulled pork was among the best I've had - generous portion, spiced to perfection. Huge hunk of cornbread which came with a container of honey/butter. Only minus was the potato salad which was goopy and flavorless. Looking forward to trying the baked beans and coleslaw next time. read more

The food was tasty and a huge portion. The sides were fantastic, especially the baked beans. The chicken breast was delicious.

Large portions, reasonably priced and super friendly workers. Small inside but has a couple tables outside as well. Hidden gem read more

Red Bee BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

red bee bbq seems to have a lot of regulars, and i can see why. the service is so friendly and fast, and it's a great price for bbq! there's not much seating indoors or outdoors, but it seems like most people take their food to-go. my boyfriend ordered a lunch special, which comes with a meat and two sides, with smoked beef brisket, mac & cheese, and fried rice. i ordered a 2 meats and 2 sides combo, with pork ribs, pulled pork, corn bread, and crazy corn. - smoked beef brisket (2/5): this was a chopped brisket, and most of the pieces were very small and soft. some of the bigger pieces were a little chewy, and the brisket didn't taste fresh. it was more like a pot roast or braised beef than brisket. it was marinated in a sweet bbq sauce, which i would've preferred less sweet, and i thought there was too much of it. it was a good and filling serving though - pulled pork (3.5/5): better than the brisket! but it also didn't taste very fresh. it was juicy and tender and marinated in a more smoky and salty bbq sauce, which i liked better - pork ribs (3.5/5): not fall-off-the-bone like ribs should be but more tender than i expected! the flavor was somewhat in between the pulled pork and beef brisket, with a sweet bbq sauce on top of a peppery and savory rub. i did think it needed more sauce, so i asked for an extra cup of bbq sauce on the side. the ribs were pretty big and meaty! - mac & cheese (3/5): honestly just an okay mac & cheese. it wasn't really that flavorful or cheesy, and it probably could've used a little more salt. the consistency was a little runny - fried rice (2.5/5): like fried rice you would get from panda express. it wasn't bad - just a little flavorless and an option if you wanted to eat your meat over rice. i thought it was nice to mute the strong flavor of the brisket a bit. i did like how moist it was - corn bread (4/5): one of the best items on the plate! i liked the sweetness and flavor from the cornmeal, although it was a little too sweet for my preference. it was also a little dry, like a dense cake. it would've been great warm - crazy corn (4/5): a very classic elote! the amount of mayo and chili on the corn was perfect. my only complaint was that the corn wasn't the freshest, and it didn't come out very hot red bee bbq is definitely not a traditional bbq restaurant - it's an asian-owned fast food bbq joint, and the food reflects that. it doesn't come close to the best bbq we've ever had, but it's extremely affordable and the portion sizes are great. and besides, the staff is so kind! i generally like beef brisket over any other bbq meat, but i would definitely recommend the pulled pork over brisket here. just don't come with any expectations, and the food will satisfy. read more

The line was fairly short and we moved along very quickly. The workers were very nice and friendly. They were also generous with the portions. The food tasted very good and fresh and I also got a fresh cut of the beef meat. Overall, all the food was very good and I would recommend this place for my friends.

This is carry out but there is a table outside for max 6 people. It's pretty friendly and open to sharing the table. We've been going here for years and consider this the best BBQ in Santa Rosa. We drove there weekly from Bodega for a couple years for ribs and chicken. Often we ordered half rack to go because a family member wanted this every day. I might add their ribs are amazing. When you order BBQ chicken you can choose light or dark which are equally delicious. They cut the light meat into lovely slices. It's fun to watch how gracefully they accomplish this. The chicken is always moist, never ever dry. A work of art. Their Tri-tip is beyond words it's the best tri-tip around. Brisket also delicious. Their other meats are equally satisfying and always cooked and seasoned to perfection. We feel like friends with the owners after all it's been nearly a ten year relationship. They and all the staff are always helpful, kind and very efficient. I might need to go get us chicken dinner for tonight. lol. The side dishes are the best as well. The potato salad some of if not the best around. The cornbread with honey butter yumm. We are particular about our cole slaw and theirs never disappoints. Salad is always fresh with many items to choose from. My favorite is their Asian salad dressing though all their other options are spot on. Fried rice, also a good option though we usually get steamed rice. But, their baked beans are sweet and tangy and always made fresh as all their menu items. Our family loves this place. We order from Red Bee whenever we're having a family gathering because it's always perfect and everyone loves their food. Give them a try. You'll be happy. read more

Red Bee BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I'd call this spot a local hidden gem. You can smell the bbq from outside. From what I can tell, they run a clean show in the kitchen. My in-laws ordered brisket, ribs, cole slaw and mac salad. They said the meat was juicy and moist and the mac salad had the perfect al dente bite. Zesty and flavorful. There was one person working but she was fast, thorough, and accurate. I'm disappointed because we couldn't order anything because they use soy sauce in their meat marinades. My daughter has a soy allergy so there was nothing she could eat. If you don't have a soy allergy, you're blessed because this place delivers on their food. read more

This place isn't extraordinary by any means, but it's PERFECT at being what it's supposed to: quick, easy, affordable, and damn delicious BBQ. The service is always warm and stress-free. They're always sharing gratitude with their customers, even if it's not swarming with customers. Which is another perk; you'll never wait more than a couple minutes to walk in and grab yourself a plate of consistently fresh and hearty BBQ. The ambiance is simple, and not grubby. Because you don't/won't need to be there very long. If you want reliably fresh, affordable, and delicious BBQ, get yourself out of the house and come support this small business. read more

This review is not about food because we never got it, but experience. Friday night at 7:20pm they had one person working. A sign says to order online for faster service. We did that and then waited and waited to get our order. By the time it was our turn to pick up our order the ribs were gone. We were annoyed and hungry. We got our refund and got out there quickly. read more

I made the mistake of ordering beef brisket - I should have looked more closely. It was very fatty and swimming in oil basically inedible. So disappointed. The pork loin was in tray closest to register and it looked good - should have ordered that. The sides were fine: coleslaw, baked beans and cornbread. Person at counter was nice too. I'll try again and look more closely next time. I can't imagine anyone wants to eat brisket prepared like this. For now I need to find something else to eat for dinner. read more

Red Bee BBQ - Beef brisket (fatty yuk) and coleslaw. - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I've been to both Red Bee BBQ locations and have tried several different menu items--and every single time, the food has been absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, the prices are very fair, and the quality is consistently top-notch. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything they serve. Beyond the food, the staff and owners truly stand out. They're incredibly polite, welcoming, and genuinely care about their customers. That kind of service makes all the difference and keeps me coming back. If you haven't tried Red Bee BBQ yet, you're missing out. Highly recommend!

Polite service. Good bbq. I really liked it but my partner thought there was room for improvement. I'd say he's just a bbq snob because with the exception of the flavorless rice, I loved it. No comfortable seating. Bad parking. Cafeteria style read more

Was looking forward to red bee, have had before and it was great, maybe today was an off day. Pork was not thinly sliced, cold and tough. Macaroni and cheese was creamy but where was the cheese??Macaroni salad was solid though. read more

Great service with a smile! Ordered Christmas dinner for 20. BBQ, beans, corn bread. All ready on time in nice containers with sauces, honey butter. ect. Would definitely recommend you give them a try! read more

TLDR: In this economy they definitely give you your money's worth. Especially as a BBQ hole in the wall. It's hard to put my fork down while I write this review. For 15 dollars you get plenty of food for two sides and two entrees. Both of the boxes I received were dense like a bowling ball. I got their dark meat bbq chicken, tritip, brisket, and pork. I love how all of the meats were juicy and tender. The sauces that went with the meats also weren't too salty, sweet, or tangy. The service I received was very welcoming. They made me feel at home even though they were working so hard. I didn't know what to order at first and was happy that they gave me recommendations, which I don't regret. Red Bee is a small Mom and Pop shop with minimal seating, but it's better than nothing. From my point of view, they keep the place organized and tidy. They also have a Seafood Boil for dinner and I'm excited to try it when I have the opportunity. read more

I've seen the sign in the little strip mall and always thought it was some sort of fast food place. It is absolutely not! We ordered via delivery two of the 3 meat dinners which was way more than two people could eat at once. It lasted us through three meals. We got pulled pork, brisket, ribs, chicken and beans, cornbread and potato salad. All arrived nicely packed and hot. We always worry bbq chicken would be undercooked, but this was tender and cooked through. Ribs had meat that fell of the bone. Price was good and will eat here again. read more

I order from here about every other week. When you're craving a good meal and not wanting to cook this is the place. There two meat two sides combo meal is quite filling. They have over 10 sides to choose from, 7 meat choices, 10 salad toppings to choose from for your salad side. Just saw they now have bbq Mac and cheese made in house. Can't wait to try that on my next visit. Feeding a family or large crowd, they even do party platters. The price is very reasonable for the menu choices, food quality, service and satisfaction of not feeling like you ate an unhealthy meal. I do wish there was a location closer to me as I do have to drive across town and that shopping center is very congested but it does not keep me from returning. read more

Food was delicious and huge portions. Tiny place but they brought out extra chairs to accommodate us.

Absolutely horrible brisket, all fat drowning in grease. Cole Slaw dressing may have been spoiled, made us sick. Pork dry, chicken dry. Terrible experience. read more

I went to Red Bees BBQ for the first time today, it's a quaint little joint stuck in that shopping Center across from Skechers. I had the lunch special the 2 sides 2 meats I went with the coleslaw and macaroni salad I don't think they were homemade then for the meats I had brisket for both. The brisket was tender it kinda had a sweetness to it or maybe it was me. Overall experience wasn't bad wasn't busy at 11:40 but there was a pick up order for 15 people. So would I come back that would be yes I would. read more

I was in the mood for BBQ and found Red Bee with the help of Yelp. The lady who helped me had wonderful customer service and helped share with me what their most popular items are. The number one seller is the Beef Brisket which I just had to try. I love Pork Ribs and had to try them. The brisket was tender and juicy and the ribs were meaty! I also tried the macaroni salad and potato salad. The macaroni was more popular and enjoyed that one more. I'll definitely be back :) read more

We happened to find this place due to our original dinner plans changing. So we looked up this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. So glad that we did as soon as we walked in we were promptly greeted and we explained that this was our first time here. We ordered the a three way and i ordered the pork ribs, pulled pork and the brisket. Everything was delicious fall off the bone ,fork tender goodness. The sides I picked were the cornbread, fried rice. The cornbread was huge the apple butter that came with on the side had separated so I just used my own butter from home. The fried rice was good but the strange addition was the lima beans that I just picked out of it. The portion was actually enough to share for two or have a few times. This place is in a strip mall will a very congested parking lot. I would have to be in the area for me to return it's too far from home. read more
