Speed Queen cooks South Carolina style and does it well. Spicy or medium mustard based sauce, direct fired wood pit and outside shoulder that was so good it almost made me weep. I grew up in Milwaukee and as far back as I can remember we would get ribs and chicken from Speed Queen, which are very good, but I never knew enough about BBQ to order outside shoulder, if I had only known. I ordered the rib and outside shoulder plate and my brother ordered the rib and chicken plate, both came with cole slaw and the ubiquitous white bread. When I realized that my brother and I had eaten all the outside shoulder and we were looking fondly at the space on the plate where it used to be, I ordered a full dinner of the outside shoulder. We ended up bringing some of the ribs and most of the chicken back to the hotel. I ordered three more portions of the outside shoulder for my parents, wife and nieces to try, and yes, most of it did make it back to the hotel. Enjoy, Gary Speed Queen Bar-B-Q 1130 W. Walnut Milwaukee, Wis. 53205 414-265-2900 Ribs- very good Chicken- very good Sauce- excellent Slaw- ok Outside shoulder- transcendent, juicy, spicy, crunchy, full pig flavor, simply fantastic.
