Good selection of fresh food. Spicy chicken is my favorite with salad. Once in awhile they do sell out though.

Great bbq ,big serving size. Very limited seating best to take out. They could use a little more help during lunch rush

If you want fast service and a great spot for large catering, please think about red bee as an option. Their portions are no joke and they have some phenomenal corn bread to soak up any left overs! read more

My husband and I absolutely adore this place and have been coming here for years. The couple that owns it is so sweet and are honestly one of the biggest reasons that we keep coming back. My go-to meal here is their side salad and BBQ chicken breast (which is massive, and comes with a wing). The lettuce and toppings for their salad are so fresh and they prepare everything in house. They hand make their ranch dressing and it is delicious! The chicken is so tender and juicy. My husband usually gets a side salad with either their BBQ pork or brisket, both of which he loves. Their BBQ sauce has great flavor with just the right of smoky and sweet notes. For the amount of food you get, their prices are very reasonable. We love the service and love the food!! read more

Very good we needed some food to serve for a unexpected death in the family. We googled for some BBQ tri tip and ribs and this place popped up. We went and ordered some family meals to bring back to the house and this place hit the spot Tri tip was the bomb along with the bbq ribs, bbq chicken, and teriyaki chicken the meat was perfectly cooked the taste was perfect. It hit the spot. The macaroni and potato salad was great wish we picked up more. We had one corn bread and it was great lucky not everyone wanted some. Will check this place out again when we are in the area I would love to try the bbq pork read more

Honestly, not a traditional BBQ joint, but the (gigantic) ribs and chicken thigh/leg quarter were cooked perfectly. Not a lot of smoke flavor as it looks like they're cooked in a cabinet as opposed to a traditional smoker. Still, good meat. Cornbread with honey-butter was tasty. They could really knock it out of the park if they changed their BBQ sauce. It's pretty flat. Not objectionable, just boring. A little more punch would be welcomed. Maybe offer a couple of selections? Cole slaw was OK, but also boring. That would be easy to improve as well. The lady serving up the food (owner?) was efficient as heck and really nice. read more

Okay, Sonoma County here is the 411 on this little mom-and-pop place. Parking was a tad bit squeezed in but you don't go for parking you go for the BBQ. Now onto the food. The brisket was tender and flavorful, and the pull was delicious. The ribs were tender and practically fell off the bone. Overall, you did Sonoma County GOOD! Thank you read more

Really, really good. Ordered delivery via door dash. All the meat was cooked to perfection. The BBQ sauce tasted the same on each meat. It's got a hint of vinegar, hint of spice, hint of sweet; good sauce for those not picky. The sides were BIG so know you're likely going to have leftovers. We had the corn bread (with honey butter), the crazy corn, and the house salad. This salad is the best delivery salad I've had. It has everything! Only reason I took a star away is because we ordered 4 different meats and only got 3. Didn't matter because we couldn't finish it all anyway. Thank you Ge for the offer but it's not necessary. I will definitely order from you again. I included photos of the plates we got. We ordered shredded pork (x2), brisket, and sliced pork. read more

The owner is super sweet and makes you have a good experience there. I LOVE THE SEAFOOD BOIL and my boyfriend always gets the brisket but everything's really good honestly. They have romantic lighting perfect for a cute date. They also serve alcohol to get the vibes right oh yeah LOVE that they changed to a more central location as well. read more

Oh boy this place ‍ First of all no self respecting bbq place charges you extra for brisket ($2) and ribs ($1) it's just unheard of Second of all, how do you claim to serve bbq if you use ovens and a microwave? That should disqualify you from claiming to have good bbq. Now let's get into the food Ordered the 2 meat, 2 sides plate and even though you are charged extra ( which is ridiculous) I did order the brisket and ribs. Now when I think of ribs, I think fall off the bone deliciousness not needing a chainsaw like you do from here. The brisket was about as flavorless as you can get even with the weird sweet gravy sauce they pour over the brisket and tough where I needed a fork and knife to eat it On to the sides, I went with the mac salad and cornbread and I really wish I hadn't. The mac salad was dead, dry and no flavor and the cornbread was heated up in the microwave and was nothing to write home about, in fact it was dryer than a Popeye's biscuit.They do give you "honey butter" which is more like honey margarine Other reviewers talk about how they give you huge portions, I would too serving crap like that. I certainly don't recommend read more

I was craving BBQ and found this little place. I ordered the family meal for me and my kids and we tried a wide variety of the options available. Absolutely will go again. Service was excellent, foods delicious, I'm about to fill my plate again but wanted to give them a good review first!!! read more

Great price for their combo lunch. I had an item lunch, with 1 pork rib and beef (tri-tip?). The mac salad was decent, also got a green salad, and their dressing is house-made ramen h, which was good. The food was good, service was good, and it was nice to be able to sit outdoors and enjoy my meal. read more

Brisket, my favorite smoked meat, is really good at this little whole in the wall take out place in a little strip mall in West Santa Rosa! The brisket has a nice smokey taste, is tender and moist and the taste is what brisket should be. The restaurant is primarily a take out place with a choice of different meats and vegie options with a few seats available. A decent portion of meat with two sides came to $15 (chicken and some other dishes are less), significantly less than one would pay elsewhere. The potato salad is very commercial and the cole slay was tasty and not too wet, so the sides were good also. Service is fast and friendly. A good place for a to go meal that gets it all right with good food and a fantastic value. Give it a try. read more

The wife is dirty she doesn't wash her hands and she re uses her gloves. Also she waters the ranch down so much you can't taste it. I will never go there again. I used to love this place, but no more. read more

Ordered rib rack and MAC and POTATO sides and corn bread....ONLY RECEIVED THE MAC and POTATO SALAD .... timeline said "out of stock" on the timeline....what is out of stock? We were very disappointed. I knew when I picked up the lightweight bag off the porch that we did not have our dinner. First order and we reordered hoping to be in time to get some protein for dinner. Not a good start for our first order. read more

Good and inexpensive meal. Recommended for sure. Don't expect a place to sit though. Was just takeout.

Sorry but this is shit bbq. Dry ribs and brisket. Diluted sauce. The potatoes and pasta salad were ok but the meat is crap. Nice enough staff but she knew she was feeding me shit. Lots of extra charges too. Won't return. read more

Food is very expensive and it's not even that great lady working is SUPER rude sounds like she's going out of business. Deserved.

Great Flavor with price points and friendly service. Maybe because I recently located here from the city but every time I think of going to a BBQ place, the immediate next thought is, "are you prepared to spend $30-$40 on lunch, and if you try and spend less, you walk away hungry. Not here. I was very impressed with the portion size. I ordered the 2 Meat/3 Sides Combo. Your typical sides, beans, greens, mac and potato salads, and then a Dutch Crunch roll? Puzzled for only a second it occurred to me, Sandwich !!! ...and my mind immediately zoomed in on beef brisket. I thought it be delicious but difficult to assemble myself at the table. The lady behind the counter volunteered to do it for me, even asking if I'd like the fat part trimmed off. She had all the right ingredients and put it all on the sandwich perfectly. My other meat choice was the Pork Ribs. Cooked perfectly they were tender but maintained a little tooth to the bone, while the sauce was savory, a tiny bit spicy, with just a hint of sweet. The sides were great too. I'm pretty picky about my mac and potato salads and they were both wonderful. The Mac didn't taste sweet, I hate when that happens and the potato salad was worthy of a Jewish Delicatessan. I believe I walked out of there for about $18.00 The only downside was the space. Very tiny storefront with only one table and a few counter seats facing the wall. Fine if you are the only ones in there but soon a bunch of people showed up and it got a little claustrophobic with all these people standing over your table, while your eating, unmasked. There was a little bit of seating outside, but the were some non-patron people sitting there and I wasn't in the mood to ask them to move on. That should be the merchant's job. They should monitor that more closely being the limitations of their seating. I don't know how well that aforementioned sandwich would hold up to travel but most of the items there would be ideal for a picnic. .. If your know where to go ( again, I'm new in town, feel free to comment suggestions) . Protips, go for the Ribs, and ask for extra sauce on the side. And, as going anywhere for the first time, let them know it. It will open up the proprietor for more suggestions. read more

We just tried this place for the first time, so this review is based on just that one visit. Overall, the food was excellent and the portions large. With the fairly low prices, it was a great value. We love barbecue in general and our long-time favorite in this area (of those still around) is Sweet T's. While Red Bee is generally not up to the quality of Sweet T's, and the place itself is just a basic hole-in-the-wall rather than a fancy eating experience, the prices here are much less, meaning that it can provide good barbecue at a lower price for times when we don't feel the need for something like Sweet T's. Moreover, in some small points of the food, this place compares favorably. We got thee 2-meat/2-side plates plus a large salad to share. The salad (4) was very good - nothing fancy but a nice mix of good ingredients and not too much or too little of anything. Some pieces like the onions could have been cut smaller but that is minor. Smoked brisket was also very good (4) - a nice mix of meat and fat, tender and flavourful, but lacking that real smoked character of the best and for some might be a little too moist. It also needed a dash of salt and something more for pizazz. Barbecue chicken leg/thigh quarters was outstanding (5). It was cooked to very tender and falling off the bone, the skin was caramelized and perfectly cooked. It was extremely tasty. It could have done with a touch more smokey character at most (but not really, it's easy to do too much and upset the delicate balance with chicken especially), but otherwise needed nothing more. Chicken teriyaki was excellent - flavourful (5). The pulled pork was good and tender but needed some salt and was a little bland (3.5, not quite a 4) Cole slaw was good and had great texture but was a bit bland (3.5, not quite 4) Elote/Mexican street corn was outstanding (5) - nicely cooked, very nicely seasoned. Corn bread was outstanding as well (5). It was nicely moist with a nicely browned top, great texture and flavour. Far better than most we find, including Sweet T's,, which is more dry and bland. Bean were great (4, flavourful and with a nice bit of the meat fat for extra character but some might not like that. Overall, we'll gladly go back. read more

This place is down badddd. I used to come here a lot but the prices are out of control. 19 dollars for 2 small ribs a chicken breast and a salad... yikessss read more

The people are hard working polite and sweet while being quick and efficient! The food smells great and tastes as good as it smells.the prices are very reasonable. Great for take out, hosting a gathering or dinning in. Easy location near main cross roads and just off the freeway! Too cool read more

Doesn't look like much when walking by but this hole in the wall is so good! I've been a loyal customer since they opened, because I worked down the street. I even ordered their party trays for my son's birthday! Some Hawaiian Sweet bread and cole slaw made the perfect pulled pork sliders! The pulled pork is so tender and delicious. Always ask for BBQ sauce on my rice and wow, it always hits the spot. We get this a few times a month and my kids love it! read more

This Asian-influenced BBQ place can be deliciously outstanding or mediocre. Portion sizes can be huge, or just average. That means it's inconsistent. Hit or miss. I've been here several times and have tried all the different meats. By far and away, the beef brisket is the best. However, although I always ask for them to remove the fat, it is always about half of the portion. Which for me, means I end up throwing half away. The two sides I've tried are the salad which has been either outstanding or just good, and the macaroni salad, which has been either outstanding or just good. Prices are around $15 to $25 out the door. Salad has a slight up charge and the beef brisket as well. There's no place to eat inside. This is strictly a Takeout kind of place. You order your meat and 2 sides, pay for it, and then go home. If this restaurant were more consistent, And the meat were less fatty, I would eat here more often. I think everyone should try it, and maybe if you're lucky, it might be outstanding. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend last week. They run a lunch special with two half-portion choices of meat, two sides, and a drink. I think it was around $12. I got pulled pork and the beef, my friend got pulled pork and the BBQ chicken. The cornbread was LEGIT and the beans were yummy too. Wish they had mac and cheese as a side! read more

For a Fast Food style BBQ this is excellent. Much lower priced than most - reminds me of going to a BBQ restaurant 15 years ago with my brother - same prices, something like $19.00 for a whole slab of ribs. They do them in an oven / smoker - not on a grill as someone thought. And no this isn't Asian, just because the owner is Asian doesn't make it Asian BBQ, that is completely different. But the owner seemed to be a very nice and gracious man. Polite and gives out samples. He gives you his full attention when talking to you unlike teenagers that are always focused somewhere else. The place was busy but he and his staff of 2 were quick and efficient. There was a guy in front of me that said he came there 4x a week - everyone there was very friendly for this type of atmosphere (cafeteria line and just a few seats). That comes from the owner and staff and I appreciate that everywhere I go. The sauce is different than I'm used too but still very good - it was saucy, a touch of sweetness with a little kick. I also bought the cole slaw and mac salad - both good quality. read more

This is THE WORST bbq I have ever had. There are not words to describe how awful this was. We ordered $150 worth of food delivered through GrubHub. The quality and freshness of the food was something to be questioned. It was inedible and tasted rancid. The brisket was all fat as were the ribs and pulled pork. It tasted old and had zero flavor. The corn was sour and I don't know how you could call it "Mexican street corn". It was nothing close. The cornbread was dry and tasted like rancid oil. GrubHub was awesome and refunded our entire order. Please DO NOT order this. In reading the reviews, I am shocked that people recommended this place and the 4 out of 5 stars is deceiving. read more

Red Bee BBQ - Zero customer service super rude staff - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

3.5 I'd say for what I had. Haven't had their other meat selections. Decent, good portions. Had the dark meat chicken with 2 sides, salad and the mac. The service at the front is very friendly. The prices are a big draw point since it is quite cheap for the area for what you get honestly. The chicken itself was decent, the skin had most of the flavor and the meat was cooked well but didn't have much inherent flavor itself. BBQ sauce used with it was light and sweet, worked pretty well with the bbq though I'm more of a savory than a sweet as far as preference. The mac was mac, simple but needed some spice as did the meat of the chicken. The salad I liked since you can add in whatever veggies you wanted, all the dressings are store bought. This isn't extravagant. It won't wow you imo but for a quick bite at a good price with good portions, this is easily one of the better deals you'll get in the area if that is what your aim is. I've certainly had worse for more money around the area, and more often than I'd like to admit, so it is worth taking a look. read more

Fantastic food visit should be in a larger location with seating for a larger profit margin

On the basis of Yelp reviews I decided to come in despite the fact that I wasn't very hungry. I was in the neighborhood and it was lunch time. Old habits die hard, or not at all. Parked the car directly in front and entered the tiny space. The steam table bar & cold salad bar attended by all the o' so pleasant staff has a good looking mass of meats and ultimately crisp salad vegetables. Think small hof brau owned and manned by really nice Chinese folks, 'cause that what we got here. And here's a kicker, a vegetarian can eat here quite happily. The $2.99 salad is big, super crisp and can be supplemented with a side order of rainbow beans, cornbread, etc... My lunch: brisket with macaroni salad & coleslaw. A goodly amount of food. Served up proletariat style on a segmented styrofoam flip-top box. Classy, Hugh? Check out my photo. Food pleasure score? Solid B+. Not graded on a curve. Now take into consideration that this hunk'a goodness cost $6.99 and we're talking deal of the week. And if you read my Yelp reviews you understand that I'm kind'a of cheapskate. So, for the price of a KFC / Burger King / Carl's junior meal, you'll get real food made by hometown small businesses owners who give an authentic shit about their product and responsibility to the community. Come. I challenge you to find a better quality & more enjoyable meal anywhere in Santa Rosa for the price. read more

Awesome bbq for catering. Our guest love all their meat selection. Well prepared catering order.

I was delighted to find this neighborhood BBQ . My family loves BBQ so I ordered the Family Meal. The meats we choose were Tri-Ti and Pork Rib, The sides were Corn/Cob, Corn bread and a very large green salad. The pork ribs and the sides (corn/cob, corn bread, and the salad) were absolutely delicious and would rate 5 stars. The Tri-Tip, however, was very tough, sliced in thick chunks, and barely edible. Very disappointed in the Tri-Tip. The sauces and salad dressing that were included were outstanding. The salad was crisp & delicious, and included salad toppings of your choice . The portions are very generous. I will definitely go back for the pork ribs, and to try the chicken , brisket , pork slices, and pulled pork, but would probably pass on ordering the Tri-Tip again unless I knew for sure that it would be tender. If you've never been - try it, I'm sure you'll like it. JoAnn F. Santa Rosa, CA read more

Food is really good, it would be good for picnics. We haven't tried all the sides but what we have tried is good

Highly recommend! In town on vacation and was lucky enough to find this gem. Tried the 3 meat, 2 side menu option and it was perfect for 2-3 people. All of the meat was so juicy and tender with the bbq sauce on the side. We did the smoked pulled pork, smoked beef brisket and spicy chicken. Corn bread is a must for me with bbq and the slabs were huge. Service was excellent, so friendly, when we were trying to figure out what we wanted. read more
