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.

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.

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.
Mike Brightly
By far the best in Galveston. Extremely good staff. I'd definitely say the brisket chili is amazing. A true hidden gem in Galveston. You won't find better bbq anywhere around. Thank you for the amazing food. I'll definitely be stopping again

Absolutely ridiculously magical BBQ get the Texas Drip you will not be disappointed total mouthgasm. This isn't for folks on a budget although they have brown bag specials I recommend bringing your big boy wallet cause it's worth every penny me and my lady friend to eat was just over 40 bucks and I felt it was a bargain!!!! Not too many vacation folks know about this spot I used to live on the island I would eat here at least once a week a definite must eat place if you're in town don't skip it
Roddy Merritt
Wow...talk about good!!! Had a lot of food all over the world, and some of the best BBQ around and this place was top notch!!! Definitely a must if you're in Galveston.
Bret Ostendorf
Honestly, this was the best barbecue we've ever had! We are blown away. We shared a $21 brisket plate that comes with two sides. We chose collard greens and baked beans and everything was delicious. The barbecue sauce is amazing as well! Very impressive Queens!
Marcus Fryer
Very good! Loved the turkey cliffhanger. Under new ownership as of summer ‘22. Kept the cliffhanger recipe but other items are new. No more sweet potatoes. Food is tasty.

Updated in March ‘23: somehow the food here just keeps getting better! Had the Texas drip today and fell in love. Peach cobbler was delicious. The frozen ice tea is a little sweet for taste. Only one small recommendation, the silverware is so insignificant that you can barely eat your ice cream with it. It broke. Three times in a row. Christopher was an incredible manager, and we are grateful for his service and kindness.

Found this place completely by chance because of a missed turn. Couldn't be more pleased we did. Large selection of genuine Texas barbecue fare. Brisket was moist, tender and the serving sizes are generous. Fast service and a wonderful atmosphere. Can't wait to return.
Craig Kingsford
Great food and service. It's a bummer construction slowed the business down. Galveston, get your construction crews to hustle!! Guy went out of his way to give us extra food for our families. I recommend this place. The loaded baked potato was no joke. TY!!
Ashley Quillen
Absolutely LOVED it here!! We went twice during our stay in Galveston. My husband had a stuffed baked potato with brisket and Mac and cheese the first time and the second time he had the brisket sandwich I think. He is super picky on his bbq and absolutely loved it here!! I had the pulled pork sandwich the first time and the brisket plate the 2nd time. If I could give this place 100 stars I would!! Great staff and atmosphere too!! Definitely a hidden gem!!
