BBQ Beef Brisket Combo Meal
Michael O.

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.

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

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

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.

2 meats 2 sides combo (side salad, macaroni salad, chicken breast, and brisket).

I'm back, and the evolution is real. My previous visit…read morewas... let's just say "inconsistent," but Dave's has clearly undergone a successful rehabilitation. The first thing you notice is the service--it's significantly sharper, faster, and actually attentive this time around. Whatever was gumming up the works before has been cleared out. The decor is also noticeably cleaner and more "dialed-in." It feels like a place that respects the poultry it serves. As for the main event: * The Three-Piece: Perfection. The breading stayed crunchy, and the chicken was juicy enough to require a tactical napkin plan. * The Fries: I went with the Hot Fries, and they didn't disappoint. They have that specific kind of heat that builds just enough to make you respect the spice without ruining your afternoon. It's rare to see a spot actually take the feedback and turn the ship around this effectively. If you haven't been in a while because of the service or the atmosphere, it's time to head back.

Inconsistent service compared to other locations…read more I visited the Dave's Hot Chicken location in Santa Rosa today with my two small children. This was our fourth visit to a Dave's Hot Chicken overall, and we have a very simple order we've placed multiple times at other locations without any issues -- the 10 chicken bites meal with fries, splitting the seasoning between mild and medium because each of my children prefers a different spice level. At this location, I was denied multiple times and told that splitting the seasoning on the 10-piece bites was against store policy. However, this has never been a problem at other Dave's Hot Chicken locations we've visited, which made the experience confusing and frustrating -- especially with two kids expecting the same order they've always been able to get. The front register employee even asked the shift lead "Andy" if they could accommodate the request. Unfortunately, the shift lead denied it while standing in the kitchen, even though it seemed like a very simple adjustment that other locations have been willing to make. Because of the lack of flexibility and the inconsistent service compared to other Dave's Hot Chicken locations, I'm giving this location one star for service. I hope management considers allowing reasonable accommodations like this in the future, especially for families with young children and not having a children's meal available.

Ordered take out here a few times. Ordered a medium Mr Potato pizza today and I enjoyed a beer…read morewhile I waited for my order. Gios is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. It was Sunday and they had the TV on with four games playing on a split screen. The lady who helped me was very nice and prompt. The pizza was really good with a good crisp on the crust! They have a lot of speciality options that are unique! Overall 4.4/10

Pizza looked great in local food groups so decided to give it a whirl new year eve…read more Order online 30 min estimate cool no prob. Get there and the service is attentive but not particularly warm and atmosphere is quite dull. Staff apologized without prompt or any complaint on my end and being 15+ min longer on new year's eve no biggie here. Service 3.5 stars Ambience 2.5 stars - clean, but bland and neutral Most importantly the food. Got a large pep, pesto sticks and a salad. The good - sauce was tasty, bread had a good flavor The bad - pepperoni was greasy enough to reboot a grease musical. It ruined the bread, the pep was soggy and greasy too. There was a ton of pepperoni which absent the lack of crispness and 5 pounds of grease would have been a plus. I have eaten pizza most places in SR and near in the region and this is a bottom 25% er. No one in our fam enjoyed our meal and I doubt I will be back. Food - 1.5 stars.

1st time visit. Potato salad I loved a lot; lots of purple onion, yay! Gouda Mac & Cheese, yummy!…read more Ribs could've used seasoning but amazingly tender. Didn't care for bbq sauce but nice and spicy; just needed something else. I couldn't eat the too-salty brisket but they replaced with other meats. Cable car cocktail tiny glass but yummy. Best part was the service with Madison. She was amazing! And a young guy stopped by and asked if we needed a bag for to-go containers and he was fab also! We needed a great barbecue restaurant here and, with a couple tweaks, they can do it. This place should be packed. Cute restaurant and I want it to be successful! I didn't think I'd go back but I want to give another try. Maybe include a couple store-bought bbq sauces? Good luck guys! And be sure to have hot links. That's what I really wanted to try but not available. And, grill the buns so pulled pork sandwich doesn't get soggy so fast.

We ordered takeout from Downtown Barbecue and tried the brisket, pulled pork, ribs, mac and cheese,…read moreand cornbread. Unfortunately, the meal was pretty disappointing overall. The BBQ sauces were honestly inedible, way too much vinegar and so overpowering that it took away from everything else. The mac and cheese was completely bland with almost no flavor. The pulled pork was very fatty and had an extremely strong vinegar taste that made it hard to enjoy. The ribs were just ok, nothing terrible but nothing memorable either. The brisket and cornbread were probably the best parts of the meal, but even those weren't really anything to write home about. For the price and the hype, we expected much better.
