The bartenders were attentive and made sure to get us drinks as we stood at the bar for only a few minutes. I really like how they offer games like pool or darts to play while you're there although you'll have to watch out as you come in as people play darts across the opening aisle into the bar. They do have outdoor seating although at this time, it was a little too cold to go sit outside for an enjoyable night. Overall a great time where I could hear my friends and get a nice drink.

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.

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?
