Bee's Knees Brewing Company — Restaurant in Versailles

We have family in the area so whenever we come we always make a trip to Bees Knees. And always look forward to our stop here. Ate here about 2 weeks ago and it was soooo different. The crust (asked for thin crust) tasted store bought and NOT fresh and was just not the same as we have had in the past. The sauce also tasted different. Today (a Sunday) we tried again with additional family members that have also driven out of their way multiple times to come to Bees Knees. I warned them that is wasn't the same but thought maybe the cook was having an off day 2 weeks ago and would give them a second chance. Didn't have much of a choice of menus items due to buffet. I normally don't like buffets to begin with but very little choices and had to ask for Pizzas to be put out. One in our party allergic to peppers and that was all that was up there for pizza choices. The Mac and cheese was "blah". Salad had brown Lettuce in it and not much choices for toppings and the dressings were either out or frozen (couldnt tell because 2..nothing was coming out of. Best thing up there was the bread sticks but I hated to spend $12.99 for a couple of bread sticks. Pizzas were all thicker crust (forgot to ask for a thin crust version but wasn't asked when we had to ask for Pizzas to be put out). Pizza was barely warm when the fresh came out and skimpy on toppings. Had to get our own paper plates from behind the counter and no napkins. Overall we were ALL disappointed and will not be returning anytime soon. We will find a new favorite have-to-visit restaurant for any future visits. Hope things change for the better in the future. But we will not be recommending Bees Knees to anyone...

Every Time I make the Trip from KC to Branson/Table Rock, I'll be Stopping Here.

Rarely do you come across an establishment so aptly named that it is what it is named. The Bee's Knees Ale House is truly the bee's knees, cat's meow, etc. The food was great and the craft beer they make was delicious. They do flights of their concoctions and I highly recommend sampling as much as you can.

We started with the Toasted Ravioli ($8), a baker's dozen beef toasted raviolis dusted with parmesan cheese and served with their house-made marinara sauce. I loved it--my only recommendation would be to cook them for a minute or two less, that way they come out softer. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Shack Ranch ($9), a smoked pulled chicken breast tossed in buffalo sauce, red onion, blue cheese, bacon, and their house-made ranch on a brioche bun, and served with a side of mac-and-cheese. I substituted the ranch for blue cheese dressing--it was very good and I enjoyed the sandwich. My date ordered Veggie Pizza ($14) piled with chunks of green peppers, olives, mushrooms, red onions, and tomato. She loved it and ate it up. One kid ordered the adult Chicken Shack Ranch Sandwich ($8) with a side of apple sauce and the other ordered a kids 9" Cheese Pizza ($5). They gobbled it up and enjoyed it as well.

Overall, this was a great little brewpub nestled in the middle of Missouri and everyone should make this place a regular joint for meals and/or a pitstop...

Probably one of the worst experiences that I've had at any food place. We drove about 20 minutes to have the food, due to the reviews and having the beer from the Versailles fair. When we got there, we were told food would be an hour long wait. Originally that was fine. Due to the blonde woman, which I assume was the manager, refusing to take our drink order, we were only given drinks twice. After over an hour of waiting, we inquired about our food order and were told that it was about to be put in the oven. We watched other people get their food much faster than us...

There was about 3 servers/bartenders. The red head and the brunette were amazing. The brunette was serving half of the entire room, plus most of the people at the bar. She was great and we have no complaint about her. The red head was always helpful and was a hard worker as well. The blonde was absolutely worthless. She refused to take our orders, was on her phone, and was snippy with us when we asked her about beer.

After all the trouble, the blonde woman offered us a $10 gift card "for our next night there". I'm not sure that we will ever come back. The gift card description was "complaints", as if that's not entitled when the service...
