The Yellow Bee — Restaurant in Hinesville

Just a normal Saturday morning about to head to my normal spot in savannah for mimosas with breakfast. Until I heard about a new place that opened in Hinesville. I was told that they bought out a waffle house location. I thought to myself that this place better be great if they are taking a waffle house away from me. We entered and were immediately greet with smiles and warm greetings. We sat ourselves as there was only one other table. The owner had already started frying what I can only describe as chicken sent from God himself. We order tall bottomless mimosas with an order of chicken & waffles which after hearing the price I was hesitant. If my "after eating self" could go back and say quit being a bch it would have happened at this moment our drinks were brought out and we sipped as we watch our food being cooked. The next stages of this breakfast were about to unfold, and I had no idea as to what was about to happen. I watched as this golden-brown chicken wing as plucked from the basket as if it were saying "Me first." it gently places on the plate along with two of his other buddies. Now you might be thinking why is the chicken a "he”? I say this very accurately as I also said this chicken was a gift from God. this did not look like your average puny chicken wings from literally every other restaurant out there. no this was a rooster wing and not just any rooster this mother fing rooster was born of natural selection to be biggest by any measurable amount. this glorious masterpiece was set in front of me as I finished off my first tall mimosa my second came with the bacon infused waffle. little did I know I would rarely pay attention to these as if they were a red-headed stepchild. I picked out my first chicken wing still hot as it dripped with grease down my hand and went in for the first bite. as this glistening delicacy touched my tongue, I was teleported to a universe that only me and this chicken existed. even though each bite dripped of more molten grease and chicken juice it didn’t matter because I had this chicken, and it made my pain go away. as you struggle to suck every spec of meat from this wing you realize that you have a waffle and drink on the table as well. you lather up your waffle with butter and syrup and wash down your first wing with some mimosa then start eyeballing that next wing as if it were asking you to paint it like one of your French girls. grabbing the next wing you notice that is just as hot as the last, but you again let instinct take over and tare into this wing as if you were a lion tearing into a gazelle. it does not disappoint and in fact get better with each bite in an indescribable way. as you finish the second you look over to the waffle that has been laughing at the chicken for getting devoured then slowly realize that you have been staring it down first the past 30 second that it took you to wipe down your hands and face. you enjoy every bite of the waffle as you rinse it down with more from your tower of mimosa. then sitting there with a fear of not finishing you reach for the last chicken wing and that is when the meat sweat starts to run down your forehead and your back. you fight through and enjoy the last bit of solid gold. as you finish the last piece and wash it down with the last bit of your drink you cannot help but lean back, give a soft sigh, and say "god dmn." after washing off your hands, arms, face, and hair because this sh*t got everywhere. you go back to your table and contemplate breaking your sobriety because you feel that nicotine is the only thing that will cure these meat sweats. now know that this chicken exists I will never eat any other chicken. this establishment will be my second home and I feel grateful that I was able to enjoy it. hopefully, this review is well accepted and brings in more customer for them because I tried to put the same amount of love into this as they do that chicken but did not...

I don't know how I feel about this place. We just moved here and I could not wait to visit this establishment because Chicken and waffles is my favorite. We went in on a late Saturday morning and we could visibly see only two waitresses and one cook manning the establishment. It looks like they had just finished with a rush. I told the waitress that I wouldn't mind waiting because I assumed that they would wipe the table but I was told to just have a seat and that was very odd to me. So we sat down and everything was very dirty. From the menus to the table, the window sill, our syrup and butter that was brought out... was all covered in sticky grime. The butter that came to my table was already opened (which I did not use). We ended up waiting over a half an hour for our food. We received our waffles first, then our sides and our chicken 10 minutes after which was a little disappointing because we would have liked to have been able to eat these things together. My waffle was cold by the time my chicken came out. The food was just okay. I had ordered a waffle with blueberries in the batter and I'll tell you right now there are no actual blueberries in that batter and for that price point my waffle was fairly small. My husband ordered the cheesecake waffle and nothing about it tasted like cheesecake. I loved the chicken but everything else was subpar and I don't know if I can justify paying $8 for two bland strips of bacon and two unflavored sausage patties. All in all, between two people paying over $40 for this kind of service is not my idea of a great dining experience. I made sure to thank the cook before I left because I do realize he had a lot on his hands. Our waitress was very kind and apologetic and maybe they were just trying to catch up with the rush that came in before us. I've worked in the restaurant industry for many years so I understand how things can be. But for that price point and the quality of food I'm not sure I would come back for anything except the chicken if I did decide it warranted a...

This place is hopping! The parking lot didn’t look that full, but each one of those minivans must have held a family of 5 (minimum)! Add to that the doordash orders sitting ready for pick-up. This could only be good signs. It was just me (I’m traveling solo for work) and original thought I’d sit at the counter, but since COVID they can’t have people there so they quickly cleared a table for me and seated me. I barely waited 5mins! They also took my drink order as I was sitting so by the time I took hold of the menu I had a water on the table. I tell you, they are speedy. And food comes out of the kitchen nearly constantly so the cooks are WORKING. I ordered the NY Cheesecake Chicken ‘N’ Waffles. I had also asked about the fried green tomatoes, but they were out already. My guess is that the tomato season is coming to an end and supply is short. Plus it was probably divine intervention since the Chicken ‘N’ Waffles could have feed 2-3 people! The food was delicious. Freshly fried chicken that could make you drool and the perfect waffle was sweet and bouncy. Very good. And as you can see from the pictures, I definitely had enough for a 2nd breakfast the next day. This place is a must try for Weekend Brunch in...
