My partner and I went to Bea’s for the first time yesterday. We ended up having 1:30pm reservations and upon arrival we requested to sit at the bar instead as it was open/free seating. Service and vibe was amazing. The buffet on sundays was delicious and had plenty of brunch/soul food options. We got a couple long islands and they were great. Overall great vibe with a slightly older crowd. We’ll be back

I’ve been meaning to get to this place for months one of my closest friends told me about the great food. My wife and I decided to randomly stop in.. and they had a weekend brunch as we were being seated a band was there fine tuning their instruments ready to play.. I had the salmon with grits and my wife had the crab legs with grits and shrimp we were both blown away.. probably the best grit dish I’ve ever had in the Chicagoland area.. and then we ordered the Margarita tower.. and quite honestly the manager came to our table and asked us how was everything and I told her the margarita tower was weak.. but when I stood up to go to bathroom and got in my car.. that tower had very slowly crept up on us.. lol omg.. I have got to comeback and tell others.. I had a great time.. the band was awesome.. I want to thank the staff for everything.. see you guys soon

The ambiance was ok, depending on the crowd you are looking for. The staff/servers/mixologist were amazing! Even security was nice. The menu was very limited for the time we went. The fish dinner was 17, and it was one catfish fillet cut in half. The rest of the to go container was filled with fries. I would not recommend the fish. The chicken was good. The jerk nachos could have been executed better (the chips looked like Doritos), yet the jerk was good. The drinks were normal, and the bottle service was above and beyond. They have hookah, and the host/hostess for that service was very attentive. It was an overall good experience. I will go back, maybe check out different days and / or crowds.

Valentine’s Day was a fantastic experience and a time was had! Here at Bea’s Kitchen & Kocktails black owned, definitely had to show some love for Black History Month. The decorations displayed for Valentines at Bea’s Kitchen & Kocktails were too cute. The decorations added such a lovely touch. The music was perfect. The DJ understood the assignment and the mood just right! Perfect tunes from the time reservations @530pm with 90mins max at a table till we left. Ordered the catfish dinner with red beans and rice along with the Mac and cheese and the second entree were the grilled pork chops dinner with cabbage and Mac and cheese. Everything tasted as good as the neat presentation. The food was very scrumptious! The chops were mouth-watering a must TRY! All the ingredients were fresh and everything was HOTT! And a cheese cake also came with the speciality dinner. No complaints there. Didn’t take long for our meal to be prepared. Our waitress named was Jay. She was so sweet and attentive. And thoroughly knew the menu. Even took a pic of my family for me. The atmosphere was so inviting with such kindness from the staff. Glad we celebrated here at Bea’s Kitchen & Kocktails! . Highly recommended! Check em out!

My husband and I were searching for a Brunch and he found Bea's Kitchen on social media and we were so Pleasantly Pleased. The D J was so good you couldn't help dancing in your seat while enjoying the Buffet. The choices blended well. I'm not fond of grits BUT the shrimp and grits were oh so good. The pastas were as good as the catfish and greens. The manager informed me they really didn't make chocolate martinis, but the 2 I had were delicious. The owners walked and greeted every table. IT'S A MUST EXPERIENCE!!!

My friend and I went for the Sunday brunch today and we were very impressed. Deja, or waitress, and her shadow (new trainee) were extremely friendly and very attentive. The food was excellent. The oxtail pasta was my favorite thing on the buffet. The owner, and a couple other staff, stopped by our table to check on us. Music was great. Only thing I wish was different was the seating arrangement. My friend and I were at a smaller table, seated next to each other because there were no chairs across from the bench seat. That made talking a little more difficult but all in all, it was a great experience.

I came here for my birthday brunch and let me just tell you it was amazing from the food to the service to the vibe of the events. It was everything I could've hoped for and more Sunday brunch was so fun. The food was amazing. I specifically love the greens and the shrimp and grits. We literally had the best time. we did the mimosa and it was delicious. Our server was amazing. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better server, the owner came around from table to table to make sure everybody was having a good time. Got a birthday shout out from the Dj. Let me just tell you if you're thinking about booking here just do it. It was amazing and I'll definitely be back and bring you more people to enjoy the atmosphere and the fun vibes that I had today

OMG!!!! So my cousin shared a Tik tok video about this place and it was a nice crowd already there so the wait wasn't bad. The wait staff and servers plus owner were all pleasant and friendly. Since it was our 1st time, they explained the process, and it was on after that. The food was delicious. We left out with a full stomach. The Dj was setting the tone celebrating Taurus' Aaaye . We DEFINITELY will be back. The whole vibe was everything. Kudos to the owner #Blessings to you and your staff !!
