Queen St.

Queen St. excels in the art of the “what’s the rush?” dinner. This crowded raw bar in Eagle Rock will make you forget about your to-do list with Charleston-style dishes like chargrilled oysters, fried flounder, and smothered pork chops. Inside, clog-wearing couples bliss out on wine and crunchy hush puppies while groups share plates of thick, juicy swordfish along the patio. It won’t be easy to reserve a table, but you should at least prioritize getting a stool at their walk-in-only bar right now. That’s where all the best people-watching happens anyways.
