    2 meats 2 sides combo: pork ribs & pulled pork w/ corn bread & crazy corn
    Jeanne L.

    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.

    BBQ Beef Brisket Combo Meal

    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. The price was cheap and also had a couple spots for seating.

    I found hair in my macaroni salad and bbq chicken don't eat here would more recommend I had to place a refund with grub hub look closely and you can see the hair

    Small barbecue place in strip mall. Pleasant and prompt service. Food was tasty and plenty.

    This is definitely my spot for barbecue when coming to santa rosa. They have great meat options and the food is good. I get the 3 meat plate every time and always have leftovers. I always get the salad also made the way I want it. Can't go wrong with this place

    Beef brisket (fatty yuk) and coleslaw.
    Linda W.

    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.

    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! The picture below is the 2 meat 2 side order for $17

    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

    Pork ribs, brisket, fried rice, coleslaw, ect

    Great food, great service! My friend recommended this spot. Grace was very friendly. Will definitely be back.

    Surly attitude. Place looks dirty. Needs a deep clean and a paint job. After seeing the place decided not to order.

    My Yelp friends wrote such glowing reviews, I had to give this place a try. We stopped in at 2:00…read morehoping it wouldn't be quite so busy, but guess what... all the tables were full except for two inside (and they have quite a few tables inside!). They do have four tables outside but they were taken as well. You head to the right around the counter to see the posted menu. They take your order and payment and you go sit down with a number. Our food came after a very short wait so if you're needing a quick bite, this is the place. Lots of take-out orders were going out the door too. Korean Burrito - write ups on this item were all so complimentary so we had to order it. And they were indeed accurate. It's a hearty burrito with beef, brown rice, carrot/daikon slivers, and avocado. Such incredible flavors all blended together. It has a bit of a kick, which we loved. Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich (K-Town) - chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. They put this chicken sandwich together with some imagination but it works! It also has a bit of a kick. It was a satisfying sandwich that you have to eat quickly because something makes it moist and mine started to fall apart near the end. Everything tasted fresh and flavors are unique and authentic. We would definitely order these two items again, however, they have many other interesting menu items we are excited to try so we'll be torn next time. They also have a grab and go refrigerated display with sandwiches, salads and desserts. Parking lot shared with other businesses. Conveniently located next door to Goguette Bakery and across the street from the hospital.

Got the focaccia bread and for entrees I got bolognese and my wife got the pesto spaghetti with the GF rummo noodles. The bread was tasty and a big portion! My wife enjoyed her pesto spaghetti and I enjoyed my bolognese, however, the bolognese was very spicy. I didn't see any mention of chili flakes on the menu and I never send food back unless it's undercooked or the wrong meal. I ate it but boy it was spicy! A quick look at some other reviews showed me others have complained about the spicy bolognese. Bolognese is not normally spicy so it's definitely a bold choice of this restaurant to throw those in without warning. So, BE AWARE of that!! I'm still giving 5 stars because our server was super friendly, the restaurant was clean, comfy, and great location. And our food was tasty! Definitely will return at some point and just ask for no chili flakes.

We started with a Cappelletti Spritz (basically an Aperol spritz but not Aperol, and I kind of liked it better), some olives, meatballs, and the burrata toast. All were delicious! For our mains, we had the Bolognese (one with burrata and one without) and the spaghetti with Sunday Red. They made it a point to mention several times that the Bolognese had nutmeg in the sauce (NOT cinnamon as someone else posted. That would be very different.) and made sure it was okay with us. When the Bolognese came out, we discovered that they had red pepper flakes on them. My son doesn't like spicy, so we had them make another one without (took only a few minutes and we brought the other one home). It was delicious and you can definitely taste the nutmeg. We're happy we have another order! Everything was amazing. The portions were plenty. We didn't even have room for dessert and I kind of wanted that olive oil cake! Can't wait to come back.
