In from out of town to catch a game, the atmosphere is very chill. The brisket sold out just after we arrived, but the brisket cheesesteak šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„. The wings and the cornbread šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„ definitely a go to stop

As a TX/OK transplant (and amateur pitmaster), I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of BBQ I can find in Cincy, and Bee's competes for my top spot.

Their brisket (which is not easy to find around here) is very fatty (in a good way) and tender, with great bark. Their wings are outstanding. If you like smoked, yet also crispy wings, then these are for you. I love smoked turkey, and while Bee's is not the top turkey in town, it is very darn close. Their sidewinder fries are unusual yet make a fantastic complement to the wings or rib tips. I could take or leave the sausage, and I have not tried the pulled pork (wife said it was very good). We do not usually get sides when we eat BBQ, but my wife loved the cornbread. I tried the beans, and while they may be great to some, they aren't my style (I like the thick brown sugary baked beans), so I won't be getting them again.

I would highly recommend Bee's to anyone looking for good Texas style BBQ, especially if you are looking to eat at the restaurant.

Note: if you are gluten free, just make sure to ask for no white bread on your platter. While the meats (and fries) are GF, one time they put the bread under my brisket, and that resulted in some cross-contamination. Easy fix moving forward, though.

Great BBQ, particularly the brisket. Cornbread is amazing. I was at little concerned at first because the place was empty after a Bengals game. I honestly don't know why this place is notswamped

Their food is so good every time my co-worker orders food I always get something ā€œfinger licking goodā€ especially the Mac-n-cheese, pulled pork sandwich w/ the Grippos & coleslaw on top I most definitely can’t 4 get the ā€œfried devil eggsā€ I thought I wasn’t going to like it but it’s 2 die 4 w/ the jalapeƱo ranch dressing. So I still haven’t had the ā€œrib tipsā€ been waiting patiently to get them & also the cornbread is good 2

Best service we found in Cincinnati— and do NOT MISS the deep fried deviled eggs! With Coors Banquet on tap, you cannot go wrong.

The brisket is absolutely top notch. Came a little on the colder side on my sandwich, but the flavor shows that they know how to do BBQ here.

Mason Doyle

This is my favorite barbecue. Do yourself a favor and get an Ale 8 One and a brisket philly. You will thank me
