Came here for lunch on a Monday. Service was good. Chicken fried chicken was delicious! The Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite wouldn't order again the Gouda was overpowering. Had a passion fruit margarita which was delicious and potent. Would come back again.

I've been to Killen's many times before for both dinner and lunch however this is my first time seeing and trying the brisket enchiladas on the menu. I have to say it's the best thing I've ever had at their restaurant and I have been, for the most part, pleased with my meal and the service each time I've been. Our waiter was nice as always and I went on a Tuesday at around 4pm so it was only a few other occupied tables and quiet. My peach bread pudding was also good!

Killen's delivers an authentic, mouth-watering barbecue experience that any BBQ lover would appreciate. The first thing you notice as you approach the restaurant is the irresistible scent of slow-smoked meats wafting through the air, which sets the tone for what's to come. Atmosphere: The rustic decor creates a laid-back, cozy vibe. It feels like a place where both locals and out-of-towners can gather and enjoy great food. Food: I ordered a combination plate featuring brisket, sausage, and smoked ribs, along with their french fries and baked beans. The brisket was tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of smoky bark. The pulled pork was juicy and slightly tangy, pairing wonderfully with the restaurant's signature vinegar-based BBQ sauce. The ribs, though slightly drier than I expected, had a deep, smoky flavor that more than made up for the texture. The sides were a hit--especially the fries, which was salty and perfectly crunchy without being overwhelming. The baked beans had small amounts of brisket, providing a great balance of flavors to the rich meats. The peach bread pudding was warm and sweet. Providing a comfort feel that you would think your mother made it. Service: Service was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. The staff was more than happy to offer suggestions and explain the different sauces and smoke techniques used. The food arrived quickly, probably because it was a bit slow, and the servers checked in regularly without being overbearing. Value: For the quality and portion sizes, Killen's offers excellent value. The combination plates are fairly generous. Prices are reasonable, and they have great family-style options if you're dining in a group. ### Final Thoughts: Killen's delivers on its promise of great barbecue with a relaxed atmosphere. While the ribs could have been a little more tender, the overall experience was excellent, and I'll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu. If you're a BBQ lover looking for flavorful smoked meats and a friendly, casual setting, this place is well worth a visit

Had been meaning to try Killen's since they opened and finally got the opportunity after going for a car wash. Came in after lunch and it wasn't too busy and was seated right away. The restaurant appears rustic yet modern with a semi-open kitchen and a full bar. Ordered the chicken fried ribeye. The previous restaurant was Hickory Hollow where I had tried my first chicken fried steak after moving to Houston so had to order the same. Chicken fried ribeye came out hot and crispy. The ribeye was tender and delicious. Probably one of the best chicken fried steak I've ever had so far. Given that they used a ribeye, it's one of the best cuts. Menu is extensive. They also serve Texas barbecue meats like brisket and beef ribs. They have smokers inside and outside the structure. I will have to come back for their barbecue. This is a shorter trip than driving all the way down to Pearland. Happy that I made the trip and will definitely be back.

Cocktails: Matagorda-- 9/10 Poolside-- 10/10 Appetizer: Creamed Corn Empanadas-- 8/10 Smoked Wings-- Lemon Pepper-- 12/10 Entree: Buttermilk Fried Chicken-- 12/10 sub baked beans + Mac n cheese-- 8/10 Sat at the bar & our bartender (lady) was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The smoked lemon pepper wings were deliiiiiiiish! $15 for 6-8pcs (they do by weight) & we had 7-- totally worth it. Fried chicken was super juicy, filling, & flavorful. I didn't know what to expect from the Mac n cheese but I enjoyed it & it paired very well with the back beans. IG: eatgoodtx TikTok: abidaremii

I couldn't go to Houston and not try a good ole BBQ and based on recommendations this was one of the places to try!! I couldn't go to the store and got my order through the doordash so I I will not be able to rate the service in the ambiance of the restaurant. The best thing in my order will forever be the pork belly, it was so juicyyy!! The ribs was deliciouss! It was totally worth it!
