Queens BAR-B-QUE

Horrific.
Beef is sliced thin, like roast beef. Zero fat. Baked in an oven. Zero bark, smoke, fat, crust, flavor, rub. Drenched in horrible sauce. Chewy. Tastes like boiled, artificial, meat-​product.
Pork is presauced and looks to be boiled or baked as well. Edible, but not by much.
Ribs are the best thing here, and they’re dogfood.
Awful, awful «BBQ.»
I dare you to smell or find any «smoke» at this place, because there is nothing burning at all. If this is «BBQ,» then a piece of horrible meat placed into an oven is «BBQ.» But, BBQ has a definition, this is not BBQ.
Did I mention it’s awful?

Well, after a day of fishing the family decided to give this place a shot. My little brother swore by it, so off we went. Well, bad idea. We ordered a slider meal with brisket and sausage and a sliced brisket poboy. The meats were just awful, the sausage was a disgrace to sausage everywhere. The bbq sauce was a joke. Overall, if Unilocal had 0 stars, I’d rate this place a big fat goose egg. Avoid like the plague, unless you like tasteless and terrible bbq.

Wow. Going down hill. Got brisket and ribs to go. Two sides– one mac and cheese and one coleslaw. Meats were mush. I have had better Mac and cheese from a box mix. I took a bite and threw it away. I never do that. It was that bad. It was like they cooked everything to death. Tasteless mush. Not going back. In Texas if you’re gonna do BBQ, you gotta do it right!

Delicious barbecue! The owner came out and talked to us as well. Nice people and great atmosphere!

I brought some friends of mine to Queens because I remembered this place from my childhood, having grown up on the island. I was embarrassed with how bad the food was. The brisket looked horrible from the moment I laid eyes on it and the pork ribs weren’t much better. They added their sauce to it automatically which wasn’t very good.
Sad to say, the food was probably the worst BBQ I’ve ever had. Certainly not how I remembered it.

One of the best barbecue places on the island. I always get the chopped beef on a bun or a loaded baked potato with beef if I’m really hungry. The sausage is also really good.
If your wanting something sweet the pina coloda cake is great,
I usually order to go and they are pretty quick, and the staff is always nice. It’s usually really packed during lunch, and the line sometimes goes out the door so I’m usually lucky to avoid the long line.

Had the brisket plate with potato salad and mac and cheese, it was all just simply mediocre.

It’s a CLASSIC hole in da wall JOINT. Good olé country music in a rustic atmosphere. Friendly staff. Fantastic ribs! Cliff hanger was awesome. Counter order and self pick-​up. I give it 5 stars for what it is and great food. Unpretentious BBQ. You can have Rudy’s crank it out formulation. I’ll be here whenever I can.

Turkey cliffhanger on a jalapeño bun — WOW!
If you order a loaded baked potato be sure to tell them if you want meat or not —- we did a phone order and got meat, when what we meant when we said «loaded» was all the fixings. I can’t remark on the sides because we eat so much other stuff, but my son loves the corn dish.

The only place to eat barbecue on Galveston Island. I don’t mean it’s the only barbecue place just that it’s the only barbecue place were eating at. Friendly staff, good menu, and under $ 10 a person. Their sandwiches and poboys are killer. Really good burgers too.
Go eat there, I highly recommend it.

The turkey cliffhanger on jalapeño bread is a good sandwich. Great ingredients and plenty of meat. Got a deluxe baked potato that was just ordinary except for it’s size (that’s what she said). Previously got their BBQ baked potato, which was dry. But the few times I’ve visited this establishment — the sandwich has been good. I believe it’s what they are known for.

TGIF! Trying a new restaurant today in Galveston.
Ordered the Fridays special «The Ham Chiffhanger» on a jalapeño bread and it was great! It was slightly burnt and areas of the sandwich didn’t have any ham. But the sandwich tasted pretty good. It has ham, cheese, chives, and a ranch sauce. Also, got the Mac and cheese and that was ok but the baked beans were disgusting. Don’t order the baked beans. I will try this place again and adjust my rating accordingly.

If only I can give them a ZERO star I would! This is one of the worst bbq places I’ve ever been to. Number 1 is the service. I went there to order some sausage and they saw me and just looked at me, I waited a full 3 minutes for them to even look at me. They’re not friendly, they never smiled they’re just there. Number 2, the half a pound of yucky sausage was 6.50 $ plus tax! Can you imagine that?!! I got out of there fast and my wife saw the sausage and said «that looks nasty!» She bit just a tiny lil piece and then came back in to return it and we got our money back. Eat here at your own risk! I would never go back.

I rarely get the urge for BBQ but this is a great hole-​in-​the-​wall BBQ place on the Island. I get the Smoked Turkey Breast on Wheat and it is delicious. This place is so cheap which is great for poor college students. They have a limited beer selection but it is really not that big of a deal.

Overall, the bbq here is good, not great. I eat here once or twice each winter for their brisket chili, my favorite. They only make it when it’s cold, so don’t come for the chili in the summer! I do like the atmosphere here as well.

For some reason, my experience was not the same as others. The food was overly heavy and not very flavorful, and the place itself had an overwhelmif off putting smell of beer, which really made it quite unpleasant. In addition, the meat itself was not very tender and in general was pretty average to below-​average.

3^rd visit today. august 3, 2015… specifically, for the turkey cliffhanger sandwich id been hearing so much about… and of course… w/​a side of green chili corn!
i noticed the music… it was old country playing… austin texas radio station — loretta, ray price… roger miller… it was excellent. NOW, for the best part… this sandwich… OMG…this is ¹⁄₃ lb of turkey w/​melted cheddar & jalapeño cheese and this spicy ranch sauce on jalapeño bread — hella good.

went today and got the one of the lunch specials… total $ 8.28
french dip with a side of chili cream corn — YUM YUM
i didnt know that 2 dollops of sour cream & chives would be atop the sandwich. or i woulda said… hold it… but, it was real good nonetheless… meat was thinly sliced, tender and no fat on it. [au jus on the side]
the cream corn… not the old blue haired can version… this was whole kernals with green chili’s and cream cheese ~~ sooo good… loved it
very friendly staff
will most definitely support this local establishment

I ordered ½ lb moist brisket, what I received instead was dry over cooked lean brisket drowned in some sort of sauce, I managed to take one bite and almost spit it out. Thank goodness I also got a second meal to try.
Pork dinner was ok, turned out to be chopped pork, I had green chile cream corn and potato salad. The green chile corn was super bland, it had no heat and the flavors never blended. The potato salad was decent, filling.
As for a drink I had a tea that cost me
$ 2.35 +tax the total for this horrible meal $ 19.00 + $ 3 for tip= horrible meal

Do not order the smoked burger because it’s extremely dry and hard as a brick.
Also, the staff is rude.

I was having one of my rare cravings for bar b q and was in the area so i stopped in.
I had the link dinner with potato salad and green beans.
Sausage was just ok but the sides were awesome! (Ask for extra sauce)
Service was fast and friendly.
Free refills on drinks but that didn’t apply to me as I was just here to pick up and go
:-(
