We have eaten at Queenies a few times and each experience has been great. Food and service were exceptional. Definitely a go to place.

I hate to dump on this place. It was always our "Go To" restaurant. It saw us through a major remodel when we couldn't cook. It had great people with fun personalities. But now, between their poor health score, poor service, and very bad execution of their signature meals, we just can't go back. We are very depressed because it was such a standard bearer. Now, its a has-been circling the drain...to put it mildly. read more

My husband picked this place for lunch while we were on vacation. He got a whole rack of ribs for lunch and enjoyed them. Good flavor. I got a very basic grilled chicken sandwich as my stomach had been sensitive this vacation. It was perfect. No crazy seasoning. Just lettuce and pickle. No dressing. Simple and easy. read more

It's sad that a restaurant that has one of the best meals in town also has the worst service in town. I wish that was the worst of it but there is also an ongoing issue of offering their specials and always running out of it early in the day. We have been there twice now for their "brisket" special for a 7pm and 6pm reservation and both times they did not have it available. They said we "just" ran out of it. So the bad staff issue combined with this bad management in ordering food supplies unfortunately takes away from the good food the kitchen staff in putting out. A lot of new restaurants and coming into Canton now so hopefully someone with some authority will address these issues and make Queenies a better restaurant than it is now before it can no longer compete. read more

Very tasty southern comfort food! We started with the biscuits which were very good. Nice and buttery- paired very well with the gravy as well as the pimento with bacon jam. I loved the sweet savory combo. For mains, I ordered the veggie plate with Mac and cheese, cauliflower, collard greens, and mushrooms. Mac and cheese was solid, not incredible (I thought it would be cheesier given it's called cheese&mac). Still tasty and would probably order again. The cauliflower was phenomenal- slightly sweet, the perfect balance of acid, delicious. Collard greens were fine and so were the mushrooms. I also tried the cabbage, sweet potato, coleslaw, and Brussels. I love the caramelized skins of the sweet potato. I liked that the coleslaw was light on the mayo. We ended our meal with the Coca Cola cake. The Coke flavor is very subtle aftertaste which is probably for the best. I feel like the frosting was too thick, but really enjoyed the cake. It has a denser fudgier texture (almost brownie like) and is very moist. Overall, I would return. You must try the cauliflower, biscuits, and Coca Cola cake!! read more

My family spent Christmas in Canton. After staying in all day on Christmas Day, we were all eager to leave the house the next day. We made a lunch reservation the day after Christmas for a party of five. We arrived a few minutes early and were able to find street parking in front of the restaurant. We were greeted and seated right away. I tried the following: Complimentary house biscuit Fried Brussels side Smoked trout salad $17 The staff brought us complimentary biscuits shortly after we were seated. The biscuits were soft, flaky, and delightful. I could have easily devoured the entire table's plate of biscuits. For my entree, I opted for the smoked trout salad with a side of fried Brussels sprouts because who doesn't love crispy fried Brussels sprouts? They were delicious and crisped to perfection, by the way. The salad was excellent and came with a generous portion of smoked trout and veggies. The dressing was light and tasty. My party was very pleased with the food and portions. Some of us even had leftovers to take. Service was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return next time we visit our family in Canton! read more

The food is always great and the servers are highly skilled and fully informed about gluten-free options. They typically offer an amazing creme brulee that is gluten free, BUT this time, they had inexplicably added gluten. I was so disappointed! You can do better than this, Queenie's. At least the waiter was kind enough to alert me. Call before you go! read more

This is our GoTo place in Downtown Canton. Every meal is amazing, the bartender is creating amazing craft cocktails every week and small but always decent beer list. I have had so many amazing meals here. My favorites include the smoked salmon dip appetizer, the fried chicken is the best fried chicken I've ever had, the pulled pork is awesome, the salmon, grilled chicken and all the nightly specials I've had have been great. The sides for meals are always artisan and delish. The vibe is bright, high end southern and the bartender is awesome! This place is a must if you're in Canton. Never disappoints. read more

This was my first visit to the downtown historic area of Canton, and I decided to try Queenie's after considering many of the local establishments. Upon entering the restaurant, I asked the hostess what she would recommend I order. She mentioned a couple of items, but she said one of the most popular was their fried chicken entrée. Rather than waiting for a table, and being that I was dining by myself, I decided to sit at the bar. Everything about this experience either met or exceeded my expectations. I'm not a huge fan of biscuits, but they brought a warm biscuit with some honey butter that was simply out of this world. I ordered the fried chicken breast with a side of mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. The mashed potatoes were some of the smoothest and creamiest I've ever had. The mac & cheese was rich and creamy as well. If I ever return to the downtown historic Canton area, I would definitely consider returning to Queenie's, and I would highly recommend the restaurant to others. Cheers read more

Arrived 4:30PM on a Thursday in December and was immediately seated. Within 2 minutes a friendly waitress had taken my drink and entree order. In 3 minutes my drink and complimentary bread arrived (a square pan biscuit, corn muffin, and whipped cane syrup butter). 5 minutes after that my meal arrived. I'd ordered the special which was a country fried steak with herb butter and mashed potatoes. All items were so lightly seasoned as to be to unrecognizable. For example, I could not taste rosemary, thyme, nor garlic in the mashed potatoes as noted on the menu. The herb gravy had no distinct notes. I requested salt and pepper and the waitress quickly provide those and they elevated the meal somewhat. All ingredients appear to be quality and nicely prepared. My side salad had a good variety of vegetables (although oversized slices that needed some work to cut them into bit sizes) and the cornbread croutons had a nice texture. The ranch dressing was decent. The portions were good and without hero flavors the menu will appeal more to those who prefer unseasoned meals. The decor is classy and comfortable, with a combination of booths, tables, and bar seating. read more

Very quality service and food. Came at 6pm on a Saturday, had a reservation. At the table we had brisket, fried chicken and pulled pork. Sides were Mac and cheese, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes. Brisket was incredibly tender, slightly fatty for my taste. The chicken and pulled pork were perfect. The biscuits app are a MUST with the white gravy. Dessert was ok, wasn't wow-ed by the cheesecake or pecan pie but they were decent. read more

My wife suggested our weekly date night outing. Queenies has been praised several of her friends and business acquaintances. So off we went. The positives: Parking- it's downtown Canton, GA. Even if you have to park at the courthouse and walk over, it's ample and convenient parking. Ambience- bright interior without being glaring. Love the paint. The wall decor is pleasant without going overboard. Staff- the staff are quick on their feet. You'll be seated pretty soon on entry. Heads up though- you MUST HAVE a reservation. The hostess was very friendly. Seating- we had a center aisle table. Our fault- make sure you designate on making your reservation that you prefer a booth. Noise- not bad. Not too loud, no obnoxious music rushing the meal. Food- the pulled pork was quite good. My wife said her salad and soup were good. The cons: Oh boy, folks ain't gonna like this... The food: I'm a native Georgian, growing up on cathead biscuits and grannies kitchen. That makes me not an expert but definitely a snob. Take that in mind. The biscuits were not fluffy. They were dense. The gravy was a bit bland. The pintos with chow chow were very bland. The Mimi's cucumbers in sour cream with dill were drowning in sour cream. My wife said her country fried steak was overlaid with a dense batter that did not crisp in to a flaky delight but was a bit off putting. Then came the pecan pie. I'll readily confess I grew up on Edward's pecan pies. This was, again, much denser. The overall flavor was nice but the consistency was not what I had anticipated. And while it's good that it wasn't the traditional karo syrup dripping mess of my youth, it lacked that consistency I had hoped for. We both just finished our left overs. Take the time and reheat in your oven- it's not microwave friendly food. The staff- not overly attentive to refills of drinks and wasn't the friendliest waitress. She wasn't rude, but when time to pay I was shocked to see a range of 20% to 30% for tipping (there is a selection for custom tipping also). We felt a little rushed. Would we go back? Probably not, though there is a large menu of interesting looking selections. And I am admittedly a southern cuisine snob. But more than likely, I'll hunt out a mom and pop place with old decor, bad lighting, and amazing biscuits. read more

The food was great. It was quiet. The service from the front of the house to the back of the house was great.

All tasty. Fresh and yummy Cauliflower and sweet potatoes with chicken breasts. Biscuits with yummy butter spread ! We shared an entree and add $6 for our own sides of the same. Others got the bbq and they loved. Service great and attentive. Ambiance was attractive. Not loud so you can enjoy conversation. read more

Came here after reading good reviews but was left underwhelmed. The price is very high for the food in my opinion. My nephew ordered the chicken and dumplings which were very bland. The best thing we ordered was the biscuit appetizer and the gravy was delicious. read more

Great place to eat and be served well! The short rib ball appetizer is really good along with everything else on the menu! read more

Food, service, ambiance all are way above standard! Will go back again soon. Parking may be your only challenge depending on day of week.

I love this restaurant, staff is super friendly. Food id amazing me and my family love the banana pudding

Never disappoints....shrimp and grits are excellent with a creamy red sauce with medium "zip." Big shrimp. Great burgers with real pattie of meat. The acoustics aren't the best, but it helps to get a booth, if you want to hear your table mates. Great service the past few times, Spring 2026. read more

Food: farm to table. So good. Everything was fresh made to order and so much flavor! .Started with the Smoked salmon with ciabatta bread. Huge portion, shareable for 4. For dinner we shared the special of short rib beef stroganoff and the Fried chicken with collards and whipped potatoes. I don't know what they put in those potatoes but just the way the simplest dish like mashed potatoes just melted. OMG! The chicken was fried to perfection with a beautiful dressing of white country gravy. Collard the absolute most flavorful I have had in a long time. The stroganoff was also a hit. The wide noodles. We chose without the mushrooms and it didn't take away from the dish. The beef was melt in your mouth tender. Hats off to the chef! Drinks: bartender Kiersten did a wonderful job keeping up with both the bar and service bar. Grabbed the Taquito drink. Refreshing and delicious. Let's talk service. Jess not only wowed us with service but her knowledge of the menu and the establishment. Would highly recommend to anyone willing to make the drive to Canton. Ended our meal with good ole fashion banana pudding. The atmosphere really made the entire experience. Laid back, southern home grown with a contemporary flair. We were sat in a booth, spacious and the seats were very comfortable. 100000/10! read more

Went here with my wife and I will for sure be back. The place is warm and feels homie. Like there is an option to eat outside on a nice day. Service is good, they will tell you specials and let you know what they like. Very professional and courteous about making sure you get your stuff, table is clean, and keep your drink filled. The food is amazing, started with the brisket and cheese fritters (it is a must get), they brought over 2 biscuits with the honey butter and these things are beyond amazing. Just wish I could have had more. The redneck lasagna (Brunswick stew on top of mac n cheese) is a meal on its own but for sure a good choice in side and worth the $3 up charge. The chicken breast dinner option is super tasty, wife got the wedge salad (so big and ranch is amazing). Got desert to go and the pecan pie is a have to for me now. If you like good food, want a nice date spot, and like good cocktails this is the place to come. read more

We had dinner with friends who were visiting from out of town at Queenie's last night. The ambience is great. Really cool vibe. The food was incredible. Everything they make is 100% from scratch! The service was super informative and helpful but a little slow on beverages. Overall the experience was fantastic and we will definitely be returning!!! Highly recommend. read more

We stumbled on this location while visiting the town. We came in late in the afternoon and the place wasn't busy. We had a glass of wine and had the Fritters - DELICIOUS!

Food was very subpar and expensive. The potato salad taste like really bad store bought potato salad. Potatoes were undercooked. The biscuits have an after taste to them. read more

Service was mediocre and took some time when no one else was in the restaurant. Green beans are canned. Bartender/server says they aren't and insisted they cooked them. Don't believe that. Salmon was ordered medium and was over. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Big fan of this local for me gem. Great service. Nestled in cozy dt Canton w those layed back vibes. The pork belly app w grits is amaze. Then the house made cornbread.....then you gotta do oulled pork w hot dr pepper and alabama white sauce. Mc drip and done. read more

The food is amazing! Classic southern flavors dressed to impress! We had a delightful weekday lunch, I look forward to coming back soon to enjoy supper! read more

My husband and I came here on a whim since the restaurant we wanted to go to didn't have any reservations available for the evening. I picked Queenie's since I saw good reviews on Yelp and I was able to get a last minute reservation. We were meeting a friend who was here from out of town and was visiting his mother who lives in Canton. First thing to mention is that this restaurant is located in downtown Canton and there is only street parking available. It was a Saturday evening and we were lucky to find a spot right at the corner. Upon arriving, we were quickly seated in a very spacious booth (at our request since we were with our toddler). We started out with 2 appetizers - House Biscuits (which come with 1) Pimento Cheese topped w/ Bacon Jam and 2) Herb Gravy) and Brisket & Cheese Fritters. Both were good but my favorite was the Herb Gravy that came with the biscuits. For entrees, I went with the Smoked Trout Salad. I wanted something light but make no mistake - this salad is HUGE!! It was delicious but it felt like it took forever to finish it. My husband had the fried chicken & herb gravy with a side of mashed potatoes and smoked cauliflower. I tried some of the cauliflower and it was really good. For dessert, I had the cookies and cream cheesecake, hubby had the pecan pie. You really can't go wrong with either of these options. FYI - there was no kids menu but they said they were able to create a "kids size" portion for anything on the menu so that's good to know. My son ended up having the grilled chicken and fries. Overall, we were really happy we stumbled upon this restaurant on Yelp and we will definitely be back. read more

What a fabulous restaurant! Excellent service from the moment, we walked in the door until we left. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly, He gave us time to peruse the menu, and brought out some delicious bread while we decided on our selections. Our shared appetizer came quickly and our server gave us the time to finish it before bringing out our meal. Food as well presented and very flavourful. We sat at a booth that was both quiet and comfortable. Can't wait to go back! read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time. I ordered a "medium" steak with sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were very inconsistent. Some were mushy and since were crunchy. Even with that, the taste was pretty good. They had a slight spice to them but very edible. Now the steak.... For a $50 ribeye, I expected much much much much more! This steak is completely flavorless and overcooked . After a couple bites, I'm definitely NOT yearning to eat more! read more

Some are going to find this review unfair, but I will explain. I came in with intentions of ordering a meal at the bar and took a look at the menu while sipping a glass of wine. The problem is anything I wanted to order was either fried or priced at a level which I wasn't comfortable with. I figured i could go with a steak, but the good ones they get locally are double the cost of the Cisco beef. I would rather stop at the butcher. Ultimately, what i wanted to order (strip, one side) would have been a meal that explaining to the wife, wasn't worth. Guy next to me got the strip, I think, and I was unimpressed considering. Overall, it's just not a right fit for me, but "southern food" rarely is. read more

We saw the restaurant name on the windows so we went through the first doors adjacent to that. It took us to their event space and we barged in on some business meeting. That was awkward. I had looked at the lunch menu online and already decided I wanted the bacon pimento cheeseburger. But the server said there were no burgers available. That was sad because the menu is kinda limited as it is. I ended up getting three sides. Fries were fine. Mac and cheese was not impressive. The Brussel sprouts had potential, but the acrid burnt tastes kept ruining it. I will still try this place again, through the right door. read more

A friend that lives in Canton brought us here. I had a wedge salad and pinto beans. My friend had Brunswick stew that I shared in, The food was so good. Beautifully plated. Our waiter "Edwardo" was the best. Great ambiance, exceptional food, great selection of good and an overall great place. read more

Absolutely loved Queenie's! The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, perfect for a night out. I had the pork belly over grits--hands down one of the best meals I've had in a while. The biscuits with bacon jam were incredible too. Cocktails were on point, and our server was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you're in downtown Canton and craving upscale Southern comfort food! read more

One word...SUPERB. Hubby had a Dr appointment in Canton today. We were hungry once he done and looked on Yelp for a place we'd never tried. Decided that the reviews and pics were tempting and made the decision to stop by. Hadn't visited downtown Canton prior and upon drive up and parking to the restaurant, it presented such a cozy and cute vibe. Upon arrival into Queenie's we were immediately greeted with a smiling face. Didn't get a name but she was super cute, sweet and had red hair. After we were seated, our server Kirsten came quickly and took our drink orders. Looking over the menu, we still were unsure of what to order as everything sounded delicious. So Kirsten gave suggestions and we inserted over those and while we figured out what we were ordering we decided on some appetizers. I got the pork rinds and Hubby got the fried brisket balls. Yum yum yum! Then we both decided on the pulled pork sandwich but he added pimento cheese and the bacon relish with the sweet potatoes. Y'all, those sweet potatoes were soft, sweet and packed with flavor. Chef's kiss! While Kirsten took her break, Emily came to check on us and she was just as sweet and attentive as Kirsten. What a treat! Everyone we came across was so friendly and a pleasure. Even met a lovely couple who were shocked by the large bowl of pork rinds I was attempting to decrease, lol. We only ate half our meal as we were trying to save room for dessert. I ordered the eggnog cheesecake and he ordered the white chocolate peppermint crème brûlée. Honestly the bourbon in the cheesecake took away much of the sweetness but if you take a spoon of crème brûlée with a spoon of cheesecake together it creates a flavor explosion! Hubby added a slice of the Coca Cola cake with coffee and truly enjoyed the flavor of that cake. Needless to say, we have leftovers for tonight's dinner. We definitely plan to return so that we can try more of the menu. Oops I almost forgot the biscuits. THE BISCUITS! How? Who? Where? Are some of what was said when we tried those. LOL They were soft and fluffy inside but crispy and buttery outside and so melt in your mouth delicious! Kudos to whomever created these dishes. Ok, I'm done. If you are looking for somewhere to enjoy Southern cuisine with a twist, this is your place.. read more
