Killen's Barbecue

This place is awesome! I have always wanted to try it in the Pearland area but now it is closer to home!!!! This is the only bbq place where my whole family enjoys eating. It is good as leftovers too. I also have to fight my cat off so he doesn't eat my food. Let's just say what I have eaten:Mac and cheese - yum!!! Potato salad - yum x 2Broccoli casserole - yummyBrussel sprouts - yum-OGreen beans - yumFrench Fries - NOBeef rib - yum but not the best everPork ribs - yum and tenderTurkey - yum and my cat's favorite!!!Jalapeno sausage - yes!! Best one I've hadBbq chicken - goodNacho - good but I wish there was more on topBrisket Chili - seasonal and what I want to get when they have itBaked potato - amazing potato, wish they had more than other items than meat and a bigger potato but I want to try the potato with the chili on top!!! Lean brisket - I like thisFatty brisket - my husband band likes it I can't stand too much fatPickles- are free and I love them!All employees are super nice and friendly. It is a good size seating area and you pick where you want to sit. Someone tell me how the onion rings are and how the burnt ends are!!

I got a combination platter of which consist of one fatty rib and maybe 3/4 a pound of slice extremely fatty brisket I was not impressed I've had way better. The potato salad was excellent the beans were good I paid $25. I will go to other barbecue places.

Ordered food for our 1year birthday event at our home. Food was great. Only the brisket was on the dry side which can happen during transport or pre prep. Thank you for the food and guests were pleased.

Very average at best. Mind you I only had 1 meat so maybe something else was better. I went on a Tuesday afternoon around 1pm. There was no host at the stand so we walked inside to a sign that basically instructed us to sit in the bar area for full service or go up to the food line and place your order. I opted for the 1 meat & 2 sides. I got the brisket, mac & cheese, & brussel sprouts. The mac & cheese was very cheesy so I appreciated that because I didn't have to add any salt & pepper. But I did have to add some to my brussel sprouts. It just wasn't tasty to me. Nor were the briskets. I tried them with the sauce but they weren't able to save it. I just took the rest home to add my bbq sauce with it.

Food is okay. I've dined at the one on Pearland and thought it was 10x's better. I ordered the trinity of BBQ brisket, sausage, ribs. The meats where smoked as week as they could be I guess. However, nothing stood out The coleslaw was lacking, so I guess the highlight of the meal was the Pinto beans. But, maybe I caught it on a bad. I couldn't really decipher what made the three sauces they all tasted pretty much the same. I enjoyed coffee and sweet the best. The service was good a busser goes around and clears the empty plates. The atmosphere is actually very pleasant, plenty of seating and bar service.

I've been wanting Killens to open up north for the longest time and they have finally delivered! BBQ has been a bit pricey lately but certainly worth it because the portion is filling. All the sides were good yummy! My favorite side would be the broccoli cheddar casserole. I like Rudy's potato salad better. The brisket was a little on the dry side. I think Rudy's brisket still beats everywhere. The BBQ sauces here were definitely different than any other BBQ joint. I like the coffee BBQ sauce the most. Service was okay. I felt like they could've been a little more pleasant. The lady at the cash register was a little rude. However, it wouldn't stop me from coming back! Bread pudding was goooood but boy it was sweet. The place was fairly clean!

Ambiance: Classic "rustic meets modern" bbq eatery with bar area, cafeteria style ordering line, & multiple booths/tables. Perfect spot for grabbing lunch or enjoying a family meal. Fun aesthetic decor throughout, like the butcher knife door handles. There is a drive through line available. I loved the coffee bbq sauce! IMO pretty expensive ($16 for a bbq sandwich!) that said- the brisket was phenomenal and there was plenty for leftovers. Clean and fast service for lunch. Multiple people at the bar during the day - this could be a great spot to go solo and enjoy new company if you're on a lunch break or out alone. Plenty of parking onsite. I don't normally "crave" bbq, however I have been craving their brisket sandwich ever since eating here - I think Killen's is "Killen" it!

After reading most of the reviews for this spot, I was a bit iffy about coming here but since I loved the Killens in Pearland I definitely wanted to give it a chance. Unfortunately this location came up short in terms of quality on the food. This is my second time here and both times it's just been above okay.The first time I ordered their pork ribs and I thought it was just okay. It didn't fall off the bone and was tough. The rub wasn't that flavorful as well. The 2nd time around I ordered their moist brisket, Mac and cheese & collard greens. The brisket was above average. The bark was good but wasn't seasoned that well. I will say that the brisket was tendered. Smoke rings were also visible. The Mac and cheese was decent, it was creamy but a little too watery for me. The collard greens were edible but had too much vinegar on it. I got to try their tangy BBQ sauce but it didn't help out the brisket because it was too vinegary and sweet for my liking. Overall, the food was about a 2.5/5 but I'll bump it to a 3 because the service was exceptional. The place was clean and had a good amount of seating. I will say that it's not as busy as the Pearland location even though we came for lunch on a Friday. Will I come back? Nah, I'll just go to Pearland.

Well after today May15,2024 I'm disappointed on my third visit. Pinto beans were too salty. The fries were limp and over seasoned. My bun was hard and it's way over priced for what I got today. I hate that tipping at the register crap. For the money I paid I should have had table service....2 people $66.62. Brisket was OK but not like my other visits.
