The Bee and The Biscuit

Visiting The Bee & The Biscuit for brunch is an absolute necessity when we're in Virginia. Such a special, fun atmosphere with fantastic food and service. The outdoor bartender who has been there for years made my kiddos a makeshift virgin Pina colada they had been wanting as we waited for a table and they loved it. I enjoyed the best (crabby) bloody mary I've ever had. He rocks! As do the rest of the staff! Thank you for sharing your space, history, excellent food, and message of love with the community/visitors ❤️

Wow! The Bee & The Biscuit is an amazing place. I hate we don’t live closer so we can visit more. We stopped by for a quick brunch and got so much more than we ever thought! You can tell immediately when you put the food in your mouth the freshness of ingredients. Everyone-even my never satisfied teenager- said her food was delicious. Thank you for a great atmosphere and yummy food!

the only reason i don’t recommend the restaurant is due to the horrible service with hosting getting sat. we arrived before 10 am knowing there is a wait (1-2 hours) but we were quoted 1.45 hours for 3 adults and a baby… we have now waiting almost 3 hours with different people telling us they were cleaning our table, there are only 2 parties ahead of us or “15 mins” when it was said 30 mins ago just to be quoted another 15 mins. people who arrived after us that have the same amount of people as us getting sat before us… i’m sorry but this service is horrible. they food is great though. and to edit this. my husband was told we were taking off the list and put back on

Excellent food and Service!! This was our first dining experience at the Bee and The Biscuit! Sarah made it an enjoyable experience!

One of my favorite spots to bring family from out of town! Such a cute place! Wait times can be long, but the food is absolutely worth it! Always love coming here and having a drink with an amazing meal!

This was my first visit, but my wife has been many times and promises me this was a rare occasion. Waitress was very unpleasant, and disinterested. We only saw her to place our order and give us our check. I would have liked ketchup with my potatoes but never got the opportunity to ask. My meal was cold. I ordered a burrito, my wife could tell it was cold because the grease in the meat was solidifying. Add the 45 minute wait and forced gratuity. Outdoor bartender is a rockstar, and best part of the visit.

Celebrated my daughter's birthday, great food, great service and a pleasing atmosphere. This was our fourth or fifth time to The Bee, we've never left disappointment!

PS Very Good Bloody Mary's!

The atmosphere is great, but I’m not going to go here often. Parking is valet only, typically you tip the attendants. Tips for service are 18% and included in your check for any size party, so if I have a alcoholic drink or coffee included with my meal, which adds a considerable $$ to the bill, I’m paying 18% service for just bringing me a drink. The food is good, and the menu has a good variety. I had the chicken salad and it came on a croissant. The croissant was useless. The salad all fell apart and out, the chunks of chicken are so large. It did taste good, just isn’t sandwich style chicken salad.
Even though the place was not busy, I had to wait outside in the cold for the other person in my party before being seated inside. The chairs were covered in pollen, so could not sit and wait.
All in all, the place is overpriced for what you are getting.

My husband and I are celebrating our 13 year anniversary on the 17th. We spent the weekend at the beach and had this place on our radar for a few months. There was a 20 minute wait. We grabbed a drink at the outside bar and stayed warm by the fire pit. Both of us loved our breakfast (the cinnamon toast crunch pancakes were PHENOMENAL).. I got a Latte to go. Absolutely worth the wait. 💯 recommend.

Brunch was good, definitely not exceptional to make up for the waiting time. We had to wait 1:30 hours and by the time they had a table for us they were cleaning the restaurant because they said they were closing. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back.

The wait is MORE than worth it! This place is Number 2 on my wife and I’s Top 5 best restaurants we have ever eaten at together. The Big Farm Truck meal was fantastic. Absolutely recommend and will go back if the chance arises!!!

TL;DR our estimated 1 hour and 20 minute wait turned into an over 2 hour wait because they sat someone else when it was our turn on the wait list.

My friends have raved about this place to me for a few months. My wife and a couple friends decided to go check it out on a Sunday morning (their busiest time). We knew we'd probably wait an hour or more.

When we got there, we put our name on the list and were told the wait would be 1 hr 20 mins. I wasn't even mad because we expected it and they have a really cool outdoor bar and lounge area to wait. After an hour I received a text saying it was almost our turn.

After about 20 minutes later, we started to wonder what was going on. I went to the check in stand to figure out what was going on. They told me another 15 minutes. After another 30 minutes I went back and asked again. They showed me the list, and my name was no longer there. Turns out they had seated someone else in our place. They need to verify the phone number of people they seat because anyone can just steal your table.

Food and atmosphere were dope but I'm skeptical to go back because of this.

The food was amazing! I had the Lieutenant Dan seafood omelet with crab meat, grits, cheese, and potatoes, a mimosa, and some yogurt with fresh fruit and granola. It was delicious!

I used to love to come here, but the last time we went the breakfast did not feel fresh, the home made fries they tasted sour they were really oily they put too much oil and they taste like they were reheated, the biscuits were not fresh either. Used to be good.

The biscuits are amazing and the atmosphere is very cute. But when the host just says you're going to have a 2-hour wait she means it. But fortunately there was a bar open outside.
