Beef brisket sandwich I’m a travel nurse from Houston so I know barbecue. This isn’t it they don’t even toast the bread just plain white bread and the meat isn’t so good and they just dump a lot of barbecue sauce on it that’s not so good! And not to mention the little side item that is a condiment container not a side item ! Plus you can’t even pick your side item that’s crazy to me that I’m forced to eat a side I don’t choose. Houston we pick our own sides and the portions are way bigger. NOT RETURNING waste of money

First of all: why would you use a bread like that? I’m not quite sure about the propose of that but it doesn’t look/taste good at all. Just a cheap bread. I spend $45 in a meal for two. The coleslaw its micro dosed and the bbq sauce just overwhelming. Suuuuper overpriced and overrated.

I am so disappointed with the entire experience. I’ve been going to Speed Queen many years and by far this was the worst experience firstly due to the entrance being torn up due to construction (which I know is out of their control),next the menu has completely changed which would be fine if you were getting portions that matched the prices not only is the prices very expensive the food was disgusting I’m not sure if they changed the recipes or they’re using different vendors but the food was absolutely terrible and didn’t taste the same at all I feel ripped off because why am I spending almost $50 for 5 ribs and a pork sandwich (formerly known as a shoulder sandwich which was previously priced around $5)with sides not big enough to feed a toddler, and they no longer offer the corn muffin with meals! If they’re under new management sorry to say the quality and quantity is Terrible! Speed Queen has always been pricey but I didn’t mind as long as the food was good however now the food is not only disgusting but the costs are ridiculously over priced and sorry to be redundant however everything was Terrible! So for the sake of reputation please go back to whatever was changed ( It wasn’t broke why fix it) because this ain’t it I also waited in line over 30 minutes and I was 1 of 2 cars in line not to mention the parking lot was empty more than likely due to the construction, overall I give this place a negative 5 review it was Terrible and no i’m not a disgruntled employee just an unsatisfied customer who will not return. oh and who made that potatoe salad might as well have put raisins in it just terrible!

Prices have gone up, which I completely understand as a sign of the times, but I also don't think the food is as good as I remember. I got a "dinner" and all it came with was bread and the tiniest coleslaw (like in a plastic shot glass) you ever saw. They weren't stingy like that in the past. Do better, Speed Queen.

I will start saying that I have been a long time customer who has enjoyed your BBQ for almost 30 years. I have even sat in the drive-thru for almost an hour during the heightened point during the pandemic. With all that said, I would like to offer my most sincere feedback on my last couple of experiences and my free advice as a business consultant/strategist. Overall, my last 3 experiences have been pretty disappointing- from the difficulty in getting to the restaurant due to construction to the obvious smaller portions to the watered down bbq sauce. Each visit, spending $50 or more... this is unacceptable. Today, I stopped to purchase one shoulder dinner (which now offers choices) and a rib tip dinner with extra meat (or that's what I was told). I don't understand why there's a speaker system with such poor quality at a restaurant that has made millions of dollars. The cashier was difficult to hear and seemed distracted by conversation with another coworker about another order. (Consider starting with a recording like many other restaurants) She stopped me-mid order and proceeded to talk to her coworker (unprofessional). Fast forward- I get home to open the dinners and to my disappointment, I am astonished by the size of the portions. Reminder, I asked for extra meat- an upcharge! One thing you don't do as a company is create a perception within your customers that they aren't receiving a "good value". Not only was the portion size noticeably smaller but the container is now approximately half the size of the original.... my "extra meat" dinner only covered the bottom of the container in one layer... barely! See picture.... The shoulder dinner was even worse. From a professional business consultant perspective, your decision to implement such changes at the same time or very close together give the perception that I ( as a customer) am paying more for less. This is not okay and does not go over well from customers. I am not sure if this was a strategic approach to increase earnings/profits but may impact the perception of quality, quantity and value. Additionally, the meat was very fatty and included overcooked pieces that were unconsumable. This speaks to the perception of quality in your product. For many years, this business has thrived due to the taste, consistency and the value- now this has become questionable. Your reputation is on the line and your time as a well- respected establishment may be limited. As a local business consultant, I am willing to provide you with a free consultation on your company's stategy. Best of luck- I hope to return some day but for now.... I'm done!

Tips and shoulder dinner with extra meat over 20 bucks. The shoulder was dry and the tips were bones and fat, and tasted freezer burnt,and i didn't notice the extra I paid for. Sadly a place I loved for years (35) won't get another shot.

The food lived up to that legendary reputation that Speed Queen has but its just not worth the 52 min wait in the drive thru. Now I know that things got a little behind during Covid, but I won't go back because I don't want to wait in line that long. If there isn't a long line than sure. I pre-ordered a bunch of food for a few people at work for lunch, so leaving wasn't an option. It was packed well and tasted great but watching a full episode of First 48 in the parking lot isn't really my thing.

For those who don’t eat pork be aware. We ordered a beef shoulder dinner and they gave us a beef and pork shoulder mix. Unfortunately I stay too far to ride back for another dinner. Check your plates thoroughly before leaving! I see why the parking lot was empty.

This is by far the worst I receive from them the mac and cheese was dry and burnt as far as I can see. I wanted my money back but a lesson taught is a lesson learned for me.

I used to love this place as a kid it’s disappointing how disgusting the food is these days. Let’s begin with the meal which was a pick 3 with shoulder, Mac, potato salad, and sweet potatoes…. 1. Mac and cheese was over cooked and very dry! 2. Sweet potatoes was more like a sweet potatoes casserole very watery and extremely sugary! 3. Shoulder was over cooked as well and hard to chew similar to a well done prepared steak. 4. Potato salad was just nasty I can’t even describe it. 5. Just look at the pic and you tell me is it whipped cream and waffer cookies or where’s the pudding exactly?

Girl didn’t even know how to give me change without someone helping her asked me really? And I don’t know what this bite size about is, also it was cold etc. won’t have to worry about me reviewing again.

Had out of town visitorand I didn't want to cook after working that day,. so I waited in ling line in there drive thru maybe 20min as usual I didn't mind it's always worth it . I ordeted box of fish it was so fresh and delicious 😋 my guess was impressed.

Speed Queen is hands down the BEST and ONLY place for Ribs and Shoulder, etc. These are our favorites!!! We also get the sauce, extra. So good 😊

Let me repeat do not go there💁🏻‍♂️ spent $38 for rib tips dinner & shoulder dinner. The rib tips was extra tough, shoulder dinner not tender. I called an ask for manager and phone was hung up. Then I called 3 times they wouldn’t answer. I wasn’t asking for refund at all. The expectation should match what you are paying for. ($18 for rib tips $20 for shoulder dinner) When you barbecue the meat SHOULD NOT be TOUGH. So much for customer service but hey they use Sara Lee bread. Thanks for reading

They got roaches DONT RECOMMEND ‼️ And cheat people out of money the lady gave me a receipt and said I didn’t pay for my food and let my food get cold and warmed it up in the microwave when I asked for fresh food after letting it sit for a 1hr trying to tell them I paid with receipt in my hand showing I paid I really feel bad for people that eat here THEY GOT ROACHES

Had my son to bring lunch to me at work and for 2 of my coworkers. The following items were missing from each order bread, baked beans and cold slaw. Overall the food was good. Would have given a 5 star rating, it was only 11am not rush hour for this order.

Food is usually great but this time my shoulder wasn't as tender.. I will try again next week still one of the best bbq spots

This place is trash these days. That was my last dog on straw. Where the meat at when you spend dam near 75 on a meal. ???? Where's the beef. ????!!!! It use to be 💯 knock yourself out. I'm never going back

The meat they call Outside is amazing, burnt/crispy and we love both of their sauces! Mac & Cheese is some of the best I’ve had! I’d love cornbread instead of the white bread and a bigger coleslaw, but it’s about the BBQ! Cash only.

Rated best bbq in the area... Humm. The bbq was ok, not bad not great. The coleslaw was BAD, and I ordered a cornbread muffin as the fries were almost 4$ for a small 8oz. Should have skipped the cornbread, dry as hell. Prices we're outrageous, considering it's in a very low income area the pricing is stupid outrageous. Budget sandwich (per menu) was 8$, regular sandwich almost 13$ either comes with 2oz coleslaw no other sides. The cornbread was .90 but not worth it. I guess if I had a pretty big wallet and my expectations were lower they might have gotten three stars. Side note - they only accept cash but have an ATM. Three times it took before accepting my card, kept saying no response from host. On the third attempt it worked but charged me the 2.50 service charge all three times? What the hell..

The sauce is tasty. I would’ve rather had it on the side though but the meat was all very dry so I can see why they slather on the sauce.

I ordered a pan of tips and thought it would take at least a half hour! I thought about calling in the order first but I was only ten minutes away! Was amazed at the speed of the order and the cashier was very friendly & nice! FOOD WAS GREAT!!!!!!

2nd best bbq I've ever eaten. Been going since 1978. Everything is good and they serve Soul Food and Desserts. Its not a "sweet meat" rib restaurant.

Threw the majority of my meal away. Only things edible were the coleslaw and the banana pudding. Greens tasted like salt and Sulphur. Mac and cheese was bone dry. Brisket sandwich was questionable.

Got a pan of ribs which was dam good. But the corn Bread was hard and terrible. A normal piece of bread would've tasted better. Service was great and very helpful. Wanted to the milwaukee classic that I hadn't been to in years.

Speed Queen BBQ has been around since I was a kid. I'm in my 50s now and it's still here, still delicious. Although I no longer eat pork, I have found other options. My favorite is the Turkey on a Bun. It's a sandwich on a sesame bun, loaded with chunks of turkey in BBQ sauce. I will wait in the long line just to get it; and the line is long every day. Be prepared, they only take cash. Your mouth will savor the yumminess!

Their rib tips, mac n cheese & coleslaw was delicious! The sauce on their rib tips is real good. On top of that, their service was excellent! Ordered catering and they helped me bring everything to my car. They were very nice and welcoming from the start. Going to come back here!
