I had to stop and try some authentic BBQ when in Texas, so Queen's Bar-B-Que was my choice after doing a bit of research and getting some recommendations. I arrived not long before they closed, but was treated to some amazing cue! I settled on their Brisket plate, with their classic cole slaw and ham hock collard greens as my sides. The brisket had an amazing flavour, was juicy and tender. I enjoyed it without their sauce, but did try their sauce which was delightful as well, but the brisket didn't need it at all. The classic coleslaw was creamy and delicious. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the ham hock collard greens though as I found that there was just too much liquid with them as well as the ham hock being a little chewier than expected. There was so much brisket that I ended up taking some back to the hotel with me. If I'm ever back in Galveston, I'll definitely be making a point of stopping at Queen's Bar-B-Que again!
I’ve made three visits to Queen’s and have never been disappointed. This visit didn’t rate the 5 stars they usually score and I’ll tell why below. Queen’s has a bar for those who need beer with your Q. And it’s a pretty complete BBQ menu you have to pick from.
This time Judy ordered a pulled pork loaded baked potato and I ordered an au jus loaded baked potato with a sausage add on. Big. We both took half home. Neither of our potatoes were steaming hot or even hot like you’d expect baked potatoes. They were warm enough to enjoy and we didn’t complain.
The pulled pork potato was smothered in a sauced pulled pork. Hard to judge the taste of the pork but you could get a taste sometimes but the sauce was tasty being of just the right heat and sweetness and other saucy nuances we all like. The other part of the load — scallion, butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar — good and fresh. The not-hot potato couldn’t melt the cheese well tho.
The au jus potato was topped with all the loaded ingredients and then with 4 slices of good tender barked brisket. Nice. The sausage was diced over all. Then the whole was doused in beef au jus. The sausage was mistake. It was a mistake to dice it and a mistake to order it since it was garlicky like polish sausage and didn’t have the smoky flavor I wanted.
Will I go back? H**l yes. But if you go do your own saucing in your pulled pork and all your other meats too.

We passed this hidden hole in the wall completely by accident after taking the “scenic route” to the water park. The smell of BBQ as we drove by was legit and we knew where we would be having dinner!
One word, WOW! As a self-proclaimed BBQ snob I have to say, these guys nail it! We ordered the fried pickles, Texas Drip and Chopped Brisket baked potato. The fried pickles were the best we have ever had. The Texas Drip… DAMN! And the baked potato did not disappoint! After giving some much-deserved complements to the manager, they offered a sample of their smoked turkey. Ok, I do not even like turkey and let me tell you, I will order the Turkey Cliffhanger next time!
Price reflects the quality and portions, staff was nice, atmosphere was quaint.
Queens BBQ will now be a required destination every time we hit the island!
Thank ya’ll for the amazing dinner and great conversation. We will see ya’ll next time.
Soo good baked potatoes are huge and sandwiches were delish. Smoked meats taste amazing and melt In your mouth! I highly recomend friendly service and a surprisingly open atmosphere w awesome decor check it out,or pass by the store and take a smell of the still smoking meats and see what your missing.
This place NEVER disappoints! The food, service, and atmosphere are the best in Galveston, and they have plenty awards to prove it. It's a hidden gem (35th & Ave.S) on the island and so worth seeking it out. It has been under new ownership for the past year but the new owners have adhered to the high standards that had been set forth for so many years. Hubby and I both had a sandwich (sliced brisket and pulled pork) chips, with a drink for the low price of $11 each. It was unbelievable as the sandwiches were loaded with meat and the BBQ sauce was so good. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend to others.
Amazing service! Food was so tasty. The Big Papa Potato was the best !
I cannot recommend Christine highly enough! If you've been living under a rock, you may not realize that the market is absolutely BRUTAL for buyers right now. Christine's commitment to her clients, connections in the area and unparalleled professionalism allowed us to get into our dream home at a price point we could afford. We have absolutely no doubt that this would have been impossible without her guidance and patience. Christine was equally valuable throughout the selling process, helping us to successfully navigate working with an absolute nightmare of a buyer. Again, she was able to calm our nerves and protect us financially, and we ended up with a very happy resolution. TL;DR version: whether you're in the market to sell or buy, Christine Barrett is your #1 choice in the area.
This is a great little BBQ place! The portions are very generous! I'm posting a pic of the current menu. Thanks for a delicious meal!
This food is absolutely AMAZING!! Best BBQ I have EVER had!! I will be driving from Houston to get this when BBQ is craved! 🤤
The moment you walk in you are hit with the smoky smell of awesomeness. The staff were all so very friendly and the restaurant was clean. The food was delicious! I will stop here again the next time I am in Galveston.
