Food was pretty underwhelming... We ordered brisket, pork ribs, potato salad, and elite. The brisket was very chewy, the pork ribs were decent. The marinade is good for both but get obviously cooked it fast. The potato salad tasted like store bought. They were microwaving corn bread and other stuff when we walked in and the microwave is front and center in the kitchen. Won't be coming back

Delicious food made by skilled staff. They have all of your favorite barbecue protein Classics and sides to match. Just like every good barbecue this food takes time to make, and they do that in advance, so your food is hot and ready. Just waiting for you to ask for a portion. Regulars know how good it is, and returned frequently to enjoy it. The unassuming location hides beautiful, tasty treasures.

Whoever says this place is good, they know Nothing about bbq! 🤮This place has been trash since they opened. The only thing good is the salad and the dressing is sour🤢 $80 for two plates and a corn

If you want good food in the biggest bang for your buck you must try Red Bee Barbecue. is a great selection of barbecued meats, fast friendly service, and the lowest price anywhere in the Santa Rosa area for a very good meal. it's ridiculous that you could get barbecued.Ribs a solid macaroni or rice or a corn all included for under twenty bucks. where else are you gonna find that?If you can find that post it you're not gonna be able to do it. I get mine to go every time. Try it you will love it

After a day on the Russian river this BBQ hit the spot so hard. Flavor was amazing, portion sizes were huge, and was all a decent price.

This BBQ spot is truly a hidden gem! Gene (I believe he’s the owner) helped me out—super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The portion size, quality, and price were all on point, especially for a local spot that feels tucked away.
I ordered the one meat, two sides combo and chose the BBQ pork with the sauce on the side, plus white rice and mac salad. The pork was tender and flavorful on its own—not dry at all, which I appreciated. The BBQ sauce was decent—a bit on the sweet side and fairly generic for my taste, but it worked well enough if you like a sweeter profile.
The white rice was cooked perfectly, no complaints there. The mac salad was a pleasant surprise—not overly mayonnaise-heavy, with a nice texture and seasoning. Oddly enough, it had a few bits of olive in it, but somehow it worked and added an interesting twist.
I noticed the brisket and chicken in the warmer and they looked super juicy and delicious—definitely on my list to try next time.
The space inside is small, so it’s not the most comfortable for dining in, though it’ll do in a pinch. I chose to eat in my car, which honestly wasn’t a bad call.
One thing I wish I’d known ahead of time is that they offer a two-meat, one-side, and drink combo for $15, but it’s only available during lunch hours until 3:00 PM. I just missed it—but I’ll definitely be back earlier next time to try that deal and grab that brisket.
If you’re looking for solid BBQ with generous portions and kind service, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back!
I went there last night with my daughter who lives in Santa Rosa.I was looking for a good place not to expensive to vist her new home .I found this thinking it looked good and not to much we both got one meat two sides and a drink it was 54 dollars the bill.i was shock brisket was so much fat in it I couldn't eat it.Cornbead had no taste and the beans were good.We ate outside because it was so hot and noisy inside. I think we would have done better eating at Applebee's all u can eat ribs or shrimp.i won't be back to bad I thought we found a great spot close by.Im disappointed because we met my friends from out of town there.They weren't to impressed either.
Fabulous food, great service, always friendly, and the prices are really good!

I live very close to this place and cannot believe I just now tried it! Great prices, food was BOMB, very friendly staff, seamless and user-friendly website for pick-up orders, and the portions are very generous. I was so happy with my order and definitely my new favorite place to eat in Santa Rosa.
I got the chicken breast and it was so moist and delicious. The side of cornbread is huge! And honey butter comes with it which is my favorite combo. Baked beans. Bomb. Mac n cheese could be a little more al dente but seriously so everything’s so good!! And in this economy, eating out at a fair price excites me a lot. Thanks Red Bee BBQ

This is not BBQ. This is most likely meat from a steamer, with zero smoke flavor. Will not return.
