A Taste of Local Honolulu Comfort

Tucked away in the heart of Honolulu, New Queen Barbeque serves as a no-frills destination for those craving hearty, island-style plates. This is not the place for white tablecloths or mood lighting; it is a straightforward kitchen where the scent of charred meat and savory glazes greets you the moment you step off the sidewalk.

What to Expect on Your Plate

The menu leans heavily into classic Hawaiian barbecue traditions, focusing on generous portions that satisfy the post-beach hunger. The BBQ mix plates are the primary draw, featuring a combination of tender beef, savory chicken, and smoky pork that hits all the right notes of salt and sweetness. The portions are substantial enough to require a takeaway container, making it a reliable spot for a quick, filling lunch in the city.

The Neighborhood Vibe

Operating with the efficiency of a local neighborhood staple, the service here is direct and focused on speed. You will hear the rhythmic chopping of meat from the kitchen and the steady hum of regulars grabbing their orders to-go. One thing to keep in mind: space is limited and parking in this part of Honolulu can be a tight squeeze, so it is often best to plan your visit for off-peak hours or be prepared to grab your food and head toward a nearby park to eat.

Ideal For

New Queen Barbeque is perfect for solo diners looking for an affordable, filling meal or groups who want an authentic, unpretentious slice of Honolulu's food scene. If you appreciate a meal that values substance over flair and want to eat like a local, this spot offers a genuine experience away from the tourist-heavy districts.

Wow I drove past this place many times, shame on me for not stopping by for a bite. Today I was just looking for breakfast and maaaayyyynnnn the breakfast combo!!! $9.59 bucks in ward is awesome, which included 2 eggs, 1 spam, 2 pocho sausage, 2 links, and 4 bacon.!!!. Most places would probably cost 15-20+ bucks for that. Not to mention, it was only after my order was almost done I see a sign for $1 adder for fried rice, shucks. Definitely going try that next time. I forgot to ask for over easy when I grabbed my bag and was like oh no don't be scrambled haha. We'll it seems to be standard as over easy it was, so if u want scramble be sure to ask. On top of the deal my food was out in a few minutes behind one small order and a large order, so gray job on quick time. Inside is your normal plate lunch seating area. There is also metered street parking along the north bound lane of Cooke St. They have a good size menu, and I definitely will be back to try some of their other food. For now I found my go to breakfast spot in ward area haha!!!

Longtime neighborhood favorite with a big menu of local island classics, including beef stew, beef curry, short ribs and much much more. Prices are more than reasonable, you can’t beat the $5 cheeseburgers that are wayyyyy better than any fast food burger. You must also get a side order of fries - fried fresh so they’re super crispy. The lunch crowd is a mix of office professionals, tradesmen and sometimes sketchy homeless looking guys - but my friend left her purse on the table one time and it was returned with everything - including cash - intact. There are few tables so plan for carryout unless you get there early.

6/2024 Haven't been here in a long while and was strolling through the neighborhood while waiting for something early. They open at 5 am. No one opens this early anymore, and it's good to see for a lot of early risers and construction workers. Simply, you can not go wrong with the prices. Higher but still a little old school. Nice lady in the back servicing and cooking with help. The breakfast special caught my eye. Two eggs, two scoop rice, one spam, 3 bacon, and two Portuguese sausages for $8.39. Thank God this kind of place still exists. It's not gourmet but certainly fills the stomach and the local soul. The lunch menu looks good, too, where you can still find shortribs for under $14. Nice to see, and a gotta try. 👌 😉🤙✌️
