Great food, great menu. I appreciate the variety of offerings that you wouldn’t often find, like brisket chili and brisket nachos.
The sausage baked potato was the largest I’ve ever seen.
My cousin who knows Texas BBQ well and has traveled the state in search of the very best BBQ loves Killens and introduced me to it.

Good BBQ spot.
Service and atmosphere:
Located in the outskirts of Houston. The restaurant is big, clean, and well organised. They offer outside seating area.
They also offer dinner service which includes slightly different menu and full table service.
Food and drinks:
Good and traditional selection of BBQ items. I chose brisket and turkey. Brisket was good but not as juicy as expected. Turkey was pretty good. I really enjoyed collard greens.
Beers and soft drinks as beverages selection.
Pricing:
$$

As a native Texan, this was a horrible representation of Texas BBQ. And with how the food came out, it definitely wasn’t worth the price [$75]. And idk if it was because they were about to close or what that still shouldn’t have been a factor on the food. The brisket I received was super greasy, very fatty, and straight mushy. Almost disintegrated when touching it. The sausage was somehow overcooked on the inside, but skin was tough and undercooked. Turkey had no flavor and was straight bland only thing that was going for it was that it was that it was slightly moist. Collard greens were bland and tasted straight out of a can. Mac and cheese was bland, just pasta and cheese and noodles were overcooked. Ribs were okay I guess, but again for the price why was I given this small rib and the worst cut of rib. And the only reason I’m giving a star is because the Brussels sprouts were decent but still kinda greasy.

WOW! I’d heard so many good things about this BBQ spot in Pearland, so I finally had to try it for myself and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The meat was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. We added the potato salad and mac ’n’ cheese on the side, and let me tell you… both were just as delicious.
And the sauces? Definitely a big plus — they really elevate everything. If you’re in the area, this place is a must-try!

This place made me wait 45 mins for order. Said they would text when ready. I had to back inside to check on it. Then the brisket was full of fat. I went to return the entire order. They refused to refund the sides. 12 for sides. All I wanted was a refund for my order. Wasted 2 hrs doing this. Never again

Killen’s BBQ delivers a solid Houston barbecue experience. The brisket sandwich was outstanding, with the perfect balance of lean and fatty cuts that melted together in every bite. The sweet BBQ sauce complemented the meat without overpowering it, adding just the right touch. The mac and cheese was rich and gooey, offering real comfort-food vibes, while the beans packed a nice, flavorful kick. From start to finish, it’s clear Killen’s takes pride in quality. Definitely one of the finer BBQ options Houston has to offer.

The restaurant was nice and clean. The food was excellent and fresh. Brisket was delicious, nice bark and very tender. Mac and cheese was great, potato salad was good. Pork Belly Burnt ends were to die for! I highly recommend you give it a try!

I’m giving this place 4 stars because the service was amazing. The brisket was OK. Their sides were also OK but there’s smoked wings were 100 out of a 10. Best item on their menu. Definitely give them a try.

I got there right when they opened and tried their beef rib, which I heard sells out fast — and it did not disappoint. The meat was incredibly juicy! For sides, I tried the cream cheese, the mac & cheese, and the mashed potatoes, and all were amazing. I didn’t get to try their BBQ sauce — I actually forgot — but everything I did have was absolutely delicious. It was my first time trying BBQ in Texas, and it was truly a memorable experience.
