I’d give it 3.5 stars if I could. The atmosphere is cozy but on a regular night, I’m sure it’d be borderline suffocating. I ordered Honey Garlic Wings (1st pic) which was 8 pieces for $15.50. Was kinda expensive since it came with no sides, tasted like straight honey, and had a texture as though they partially cook the chicken in a batch and just reheat it. I also ordered the Honey Siracha fries (2nd pic) which was disappointing since it was just fries with seasoning. It’d be better if they coated it with some type of spicy & sweet dip or put it on the side. My company ordered the lobster Mac & cheese (3rd pic) which was deliciouuus, but the Honey Asian wings just tasted they threw sweet chilli sauce on it. I’m not saying the wings were disgusting, just not as advertised and could’ve been better prepared. I’m curious about how the seafood tastes though so I may come back again. Oh, also most of the dishes come with a flower… don’t eat it .. it’s just for the aesthetic

We had to do takeout, because the amount of Lysol sprayed in this place was enough to give a headache, BUT the food was phenomenal (if a little saltier than was tasty).

My sisters took me here to celebrate my birthday. The ambiance of the place was soulful and relaxing. The food was enjoyable and the drinks were delicious! The sweet potato pie was homemade

I celebrated my pre birthday and birthday there and both days the food was AMAZING. Shana the owner is pleasant and friendly and she makes you feel at home. The music set the atmosphere that was so good I didn’t want to leave.

Well I’m so glad I got the chance to come here with my friends! The atmosphere is always inviting! The vibe is amazing! From the music to the menu!!! Everything is so authentic! The Mac and cheese was seriously way too good! The catfish nuggets were absolutely light and perfectly fried! The seasoning is perfection!! I enjoyed the drinks as well! Everything is made with honey or has some component of honey with it. I can’t wait to go back again. It was absolutely the best time.

I went for a late lunch early dinner and it was just fantastic! Service with a smile and all our needs catered to. The food was beyond amazing! Loved everything about the experience. It made my birthday so much better. It felt like I was in Manhattan. Just wonderful. Will be making it my little spot!

The food was delicious and flavorful but the customer service sucks this was my first time getting take out from this restaurant and I called in advance and was told it was gonna be a 30-45 minute wait. The person that answered the phone wasn’t welcoming at all. It seemed like they didn’t wanna take our order I was gonna leave but I was starving so I placed the order through the website. The whole time I was sitting in the parking lot after being told my food was ready and going inside the restaurant was completely empty… The person made a big deal on the phone about it being a really long wait just for it to be empty and I payed with Apple Pay so it came up under my email and she kinda had an attitude about that and they include the tip automatically when you order online they didn’t deserve it at all. The food was good but the attitude sucks….

To put it briefly — please give this place a try! My mom, my best friend and I tried this place for the first time, and we enjoyed! The food (especially, the macaroni and cheese, potato salad, and yams) was DELICIOUS! The food was served hot. It was flavorful. The service was good, no issues there. Just overall, it was a pleasant experience and I will be back!

I hadn’t been to the restaurant as of yet. And I plan on attending. After reading the reviews. I aspecting poor services and nasty customer services. But I like give a soul food restaurant an opportunity it has the clientele in the area. All they have to do is put their ego aside and perform. Judging from the owner response the review she’s not there yet. And the complaint about the prices is always a problem in soul food restaurants. I hope they change their attitudes and prices. Or else back to the Mexican and Chinese restaurants where the prices are fare and customer services is professional. And they value the customer. I don’t see Bee’s lasting long in the future. High prices poor customers services is enough to sink any restaurant

My husband took me here for Mother’s Day dinner and it was amazing. The owner herself came around making sure everyone was happy with their meals and making adjustments if needed. I definitely did not need anything changed my meal was perfect.
