We hired Howard’s Q’ue to cater our basketball banquet and feed about 100 people. The food was delicious and incredibly reasonably priced. There were so many menu options to choose from. We heard rave reviews from the players and parents. We absolutely would use them again to cater an event and look forward to stopping down and ordering off their regular menu.

Howard’s Que definitely gets 5 stars. Howard and his crew do a fantastic job! All of Howard’s food is so good, but my favorite has to be the pulled pork sandwich & his chicken parm. So so good!

Howard’s que is amazing. Everything I’ve ever ordered is phenomenal. Friendly staff as well. Go check them out!

Dinner was amazing!! Everything we had was great- fried chicken, rib tips, mac & cheese, baked beans and cole slaw. Friendly atmosphere & delicious food...we'll be back! ?

Ordered just about one of everything for my fiancé and her parents. We were all so impressed! Everything was full of flavor! Will definitely be back! Good Job!

My New Year’s Eve 55$ rack of ribs was baked in foil, were not good. No word back about why they didn’t actually fire up the smoker on my expensive rack of ribs, but took a short cut. To me, they should have just said they are not selling them today. The pulled pork was decent, but not from a smoker or grill. Evidence was no blacked edges. See pics below of what I should have been served and what I was served for the 55$ rack of ribs. We through them in the garbage after.On entering the establishment, I noticed a lot of grime on the tiled floor, which is quite concerning since they serve food there, it was a bit cold in there because of the back door being cracked open. I wouldn’t ever come back due to the dirt on the floor and lack of cozy factor if I had sat down, I would have to wear a coat to eat- BUT most importantly- they cut corners with my 55$ Rack of ribs, to a degree that should have NEVER happened for a BBQ place. Ruined my family New Year’s Eve dinner. 100$ family meal, quality and love wise, should have been about 40$. Ribs baked with rub thrown on them are gross. No smoke ring, no Char, gross.

The atmosphere was atrocious. Walking in the front door, you would not be alone in believingyou have walked into the wrong building. There is a small bar and what looks like a bingo hall just past it. The "bingo hall" is the dining area, which consists of an empty white room with 6 large round 8 person tables that do not utilize the amount of space available. There are no table cloths or place settings. The waitress(?) did not even bring us drinks. In fact, I'm still uncertain whether we buy our drinks from the bar or the small kitchen. I was in the mood for a coffee, and I could not see them delivering it in a clear plastic cup. The prices for the food were right in line with most restaurants, but those restaurants have a comfortable atmosphere and even dishes! With a bit of deliberation, my dinner companion and I decided to go elsewhere.From what I've read in other reviews, the food is amazing; which is why we went. Perhaps I will consider take out some day.

Que up the quality!!!! Best barbecue joint in town hands down! Put your hands up for Howard's Que, dry rub GREAT. Feeling saucy, EVEN BETTER. Had to wait about 20 minutes for the rib tips, but I got no beef with that. Pasta's good too, like your grandma's. Baked beans SWEET! Howard's Que, bringing good food to you! (They don't deliver though, you do have to go to them). Would've insta-storied it for the kids but my plate was empty by the time I reached my phone. Five stars.

Food was FANTASTIC!! We had the brisket, pulled pork sandwich and chili. The brisket was peppery, tender and tasty. Chili was out of sight and OMG, the ribs! Can't wait to come back.

This place is a great hidden gem! The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly and kind. 10/10 would recommend. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, and coleslaw. The pulled pork was so tender and the sauce is great. The mac and cheese was super creamy and the coleslaw was awesome. We will definitely be repeat customers.
