*Speed Queen Bar-B-Q

In the summer 1956, from the back of a storefront in the old hay market on 5th & Vliet, Betty Gillespie and Leonard Partee took the family recipe for BBQ and secret sauce and set up shop. Word of our excellent BBQ, Secret Sauce, and speedy service quickly spread and one of our founders, Betty, was dubbed the "Speed Queen." Today, we’re proudly producing Milwaukee’s finest barbecued meats using the largest BBQ pit in the city and our trademarked secret sauces.
