    Food was delicious and service by Jesse was point on. He made excellent recommendations and wow the food was terrific and not expensive!! Gem!

    BBQ Baked Potato

    Tried Queens BBQ in Galveston and got the BBQ baked potato. It was decent and filled me up. The customer service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I also liked reading about the history of the spot on the walls which added a nice touch to the experience. I will be back but next time I will try something different.

    Very good Texas style BBQ in a convenient spot. Plenty of seating inside and out. We stopped in for sandwiches and both the Turkey Clffhanger and the Hog Wild were tasty and good value for these days. Laid back vibe, friendly staff, good selwction of beers and bar drinks. Counter service

    Talk to me, I love that sound Out of words when you're around Lift me from the ground I've been trying to come down On a high when you're around https://open.spotify.com/track/7kZVirTc3V6d4YWtu6RaAu?si=5MbBaFfdSJSkJyD-QOgbEQ ------------------- Listening to this was perfect for being here. These people lifted me from a place beyond hell. I appreciate them more than they know. I owe this island my life. In every sense of the word. I have screamed.... "Wwwwwwwhhhhhhyyyyy?????" There's never been an answer from my beloved sea until today. (Food was REALLY good too. Saw some cuties getting in their car so asked them if it was good... what to get...was advised I'd love it. Honestly don't remember the name of what it was but sure remember how he said , "you'll love it." And fuck yes. I loved it. It was the perfect jalapeño bun. All kinds of meat and I don't know what kind bc I was laughing too hard with Jesse. Brianna. You are such a kind sweet soul. You both may have saved me from bail and an embarrassing call to my best friend/soror sis/attorney. Virgil the Volvo is a reminder of your compassion. Thank you for saving this salty gal today. All of me salutes all of you. Namaste. *I'm going to market the shit out of these stickers..

    Dropped into Queens BBQ for some dinner to go, I guess they're under new ownership but didn't disappoint at all! Full pound of sausage and a pulled pork sandwich... both awesome. Fantastic potato salad, and I make my own so candidly a little bit of a snob. Gouda mac & cheese was off the hook. Great local place and I think it's underrated for sure. Well worth it if you're a local, no doubt. If you're just visiting, very representative of really good Texas barbecue. Sorry to see the cowboy caviar go away, I was a fan.

    Food was great! The customer service was good. Turkey, smoked jalapeño sausage and ribs are the bomb! Their french fries are amazing. Barbecued baked beans and dirty rice are also very good. They have stiffed drinks and I think for what you pay you great value. Sadly, they were out of regular brisket. It must sell very fast.

    While I'm just a humble Yankee about to review a Texas BBQ joint, I do have to say that I've had the opportunity to travel through a wide swath of the US and I truly love smoked meats in nearly any form, so I think I'm at least a reasonably qualified tourist. So, Queens is G-O-O-D. I had a 3 meat plate with brisket, pulled pork and smoked sausage, and all 3 were on point. The sausage was slightly spicy, enough that it caught your attention, but not enough to take away from the experience for even those with the most sensitive palates. The pulled pork was juicy and flavorful, and the brisket had a beautiful smoke ring and had the perfect amount of fat to make it tender and delicious. The included sauces added to the flavor without taking the focus off of the meat. We also had the collard greens, that were on point, the smoked gouda Mac and cheese (excellent), and the star of the sides, the bbq brisket baked beans. Finally, the cornbread was fantastic on its own and was the perfect instrument to sop up the leftover sauce. As good as the food was, the staff was even better. The crew upfront were friendly and helpful, walking us through the menu while offering suggestions. The owner was on site as well, and came out from the kitchen to personally check on everyone to make sure they were enjoying their meal. When he found out where we were from and what we thought of the food, you could see the pride on his face. He also sent out a couple of cookies for the kids on the house, always an appreciated move. Not sure when we'll be back in Galveston again, but whenever it is, Queens will 100% be a must visit.

    Both dinners

    Delicious with large Portions! I had the brisket and my friend the loaded potato. We should have ordered one plate and split it.

    This is the fact I took out of the brisket sandwich. Years ago they removed fat and did not serve it to customers.

She asked us if we were picking up an order or dinning there. We told her we were eating there and she told us to sit at a table behind us. I noticed that when we walked in it was kind of small but it worked for us. We grabbed some menus to look at and then sat down. After we sat down the same woman came over and asked us what we wanted to drink. We asked for bottled water. She asked if we wanted ice and we said yes so she brought out the ice in cups and then she brought us our waters. Then she asked us what we wanted to order. We barely had time to look at the menu but we had an idea of what we wanted so we just ordered. I ordered a brisket sandwich and some potato salad. Apparently the meat comes separate from the bread and you make your sandwich. She asked us what kind of bread we wanted. White or wheat and we said white. I assumed we would get our bread first but we got it last. She brought the potato salad first. It was good. It didn't have big potatoes as it seemed more creamy. It had a mustardy flavor which I liked. The brisket was okay. It was a little dry but it was filling. The BBQ sauce was thin but good. Adding it to the brisket gave the meat a little flavor. The bread that they gave us was regular white sandwich bread slices. This came last to our table. We probably waited around 5 minutes for regular white sandwich bread after getting our potato salad and brisket. I tried one of the Riblets. It was small with a lot of fat and very little meat which made it hard to eat. Overall it was an okay experience. The atmosphere is small, the food is decent, and the service was just okay.

The place is really small, so I'd suggest getting your food to-go. For $21.50, we got the three meat plate (pic attached) For our meats, we got extra lean brisket (too lean, next time I'll get the Leon cut, ribs (really good) and white meat chicken (enjoyed this as well). For our sides we selected turnip greens (decent) and beans (not a fan). It came with bread and onions and pickles. The lady that took our order was very courteous and helpful. There's an article on the wall in the establishment about Leon the owner (pic attached). I've also attached a pic of the menu. All and all, this is very decent bbq and is very reasonably priced relative to other bbq places and other restaurants in general. Good value. I recommend you give it a try.

So when I was looking for a place to eat somewhere on our trip home from Galveston, I knew this might be my best chance. I'd originally planned on just ordering a simple brisket sandwich, but as I looked at the menu, I felt like I wanted one of everything. I was really tempted to order a loaded baked potato, but because I'd be eating it in the car, I figured that might be a bit too messy, so I eventually went with Plan A. One bite into that thing and I knew I made the right decision. It was so juicy and so flavorful. Just the perfect lunch for what I was craving. And then to make this love story even better, later that day, I went to HEB. My HEB happens to have one of those BBQ restaurants inside of it, and it's never open when I visit because I always do my grocery shopping in the morning. But this particular visit was at about 4pm. And I opted to order the exact same thing: a brisket sandwich, so that I could compare the two. I'm sure this is not news to Smokin Z's or their fans, but this was the most lopsided competition I've experienced in a while. My visit to HEB only made me appreciate Smokin Z's more, as the HEB version tasted like something made by my 11 year old nephew. I'm embarrassed I even put the two head to head, as we're talking about a totally different weight class here.

    Cutting across Texas to New Orleans, I knew we would be skimming the shore of the Gulf of Mexico…read more Shut up. My review, I can call it what I want. That being said, it had been some time since I've gotten some proper fish-n-chips. I had to remedy that. Especially since the BBQ fiasco the other day, I was going to go on a hunger strike, but once I made the sign, I got potato chip fingers on it and started to eat it. So, I decided to fight fire with fire, and figured I would eat myself happy again. Which I'm never mad about. Sometimes I make myself angry just so I can eat myself happy. And now, the rest of the story. I have learned that I enjoy Cod fish for my fish-n-chips. And I think also Haddock. I am not a fisher nor a fish. So it's hard for me to say. But I know Cod is one for sure. I also sometimes have baby mouth and am afraid of new things. I do know I love my fish battered and deep fried. I also know that Shark Shack had good reviews for their fish, so, that was all I needed to hear. Plus, it was a perfect little eatery with bar seating, table seating, and gifts! So you can bet your bottom dollar tomorrow I ordered the English fish-n-chips. Boy oh boy. Just like how Britain colonized all those countries back when it was the cool thing to do, these fish and chips colonized my taste buds. Respectfully. This plate came with FIVE logs of fish. FIVE! Maybe they were tubes of fish? Honestly, I don't care what shape they came in, they looked perfectly crunchy and perfectly brown and perfectly fish. The super cool extra bonus? These fish came with CRISPIES! I've only ever seen crisps with fish from Long John Silvers, whose fish is probably as far from Cod or Haddock as legally possible. I actually think one of my pieces of fish from there had shoelaces. Didn't matter. Still ate it. Respectfully. (If you aren't privileged enough to know what fish crispies are, there little batter pieces that fry or fall off the fish as they cook. Basically little crumblies. If you make a wish over a fork of them and get the forkful in your mouth without dropping any, your wish will come true). Homemade tartar sauce was good, but there was a certain flavor profile that I wasn't a fan of. It was still good to use on the fish rods, it just tasted a little too much out of the tartar sauce field for me. The meal was wrapped up nice and tight with lovely square-cut fries. Perfect doneness. Perfect Ketchup vessel. I could just stare at a pile of them all night. Mostly because I'm weird.

I decided to lean more toward the 4-star side, so here we are. While in Galveston for a quick weekend getaway, we wanted to go out for dinner. Katie's was my first choice, but the wait was too long, so I pulled up Yelp to see what else was recommended. Shark Shack had great reviews, and when we arrived there was zero wait, so we went for it. The one area where I docked a star was the service. We were seated immediately but waited quite a while for our server to appear, and then even longer to get our drinks. I was so excited for a margarita, but when it arrived in a plastic cup, I was immediately disappointed. Plastic cups are for the beach and nightclubs, not a restaurant with a bar. And that's not where the awful drink experience ended -- it was so weak and just not good at all. Our server seemed so disinterested in everything: taking our order, answering questions, and when it came time to pay, we had to wait ages to see him and wave him down. The food was decent with no major complaints. It wasn't "blow your mind" amazing, but it was good. The owner -- well, I assume he was the owner -- came and spoke to us when he found out my husband was military, and he was really nice, friendly, and very supportive of the military community, offering a very generous military discount. That definitely raises the rating and is much appreciated, so thank you. Overall, the big fixes for me would be the service and the drink situation. I can't say we would rush to come back just because we love Katie's for the service, food, and drinks..

When calling a friend later that night, I recall touting the restaurant as "The Target Version of Applebees". It's definitely better than an Applebees or Chilis... but not by much. In short... if I was rating on food alone... 2.5-3 stars. But the atmosphere and the omnipresent Tombstone on the TV cranks this place up to a 4. I won't be back, but it was 1000% worth it to go once.
