   Food was cooked well but not as flavorful as expected. Noise was high, barely could converse at our table of 2. Overpriced for the experience. Salt grass would have been a less expensive, quieter ambience, and more flavorful steak.

   Service was great, drinks were delicious. Ordered dry aged ribeye medium rare. It was medium at best and vey dry. Poor.

   We have been going to Killen’s for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. This is the second time within a 2 week period we dined at Killen’s. Unfortunately, both times we encountered service and food issues. . On both occasions, the steaks were over cooked - we even referenced the issue when we ordered the second time. We also received the wrong side item, the wrong cocktail and the wait staff was not attentive. We often had to get their attention as they were off chatting with other staff members. We ordered house champagne to toast a celebration and when the bill came we were charged for a higher end champagne. Even with all of these issues, the restaurant manager did not come over once to discuss our experience. This is disappointing given Killen’s is a well regarded steakhouse. I have noticed similar reviews as of late.

    Waiter was horrible food was very salty, waiter was never around had to ask for refills until it was time to tip he hovered over us and after getting a 57 dollar tip got upset and made snarky remarks. For a great steakhouse I’d recommend Pappa Bros

    An awesome date night at Killen’s Steakhouse in Pearland. Our experience there was spectacular. All the dishes were delicious and freshly made to order. We had an excellent waiter, Jake H. who guided us on our adventure here. We highly recommend Killen’s hands down the best steakhouse around!

    I felt it was really loud. Our first time in a really nice, high end steakhouse. The crowd was having a good time bar was really busy. I expected just a little more sedate atmosphere. Food was excellent waiter(Kevin) was first rate.

    When the cost of the meal is 600 dollars, you should never have to receive a steak cooked incorrectly. Yes, it's very picky but at 600 dollars there is no excuse. Food was good overall, and service was excellent.

    Our appetizer, steaks and sides were cooked to perfection, just as we ordered them. We also got a custom-made vegetarian dish for my daughter, who was very happy with it. The desserts (Macaron & Truffles, Carrot Cake, Crème brulée bread pudding) were all amazing and were a high point of the dinner. Fantastic service, as is usual with Killen's. We'll definitely be back again.

    I was hesitant to complain about my evening because I love your place to much. Jake, Justin have been 2 main servers that are amazing. We had a different server this time and the service was just as good! The night I went I left before I could finish my dessert due to a loud commotion. A man in the corner was screaming as loud as he could and on the ground. I was 20 or so feet away. I got up to evaluate the situation and was close enough to see he had a gun and appeared to be intoxicated. The mixture of this was for sure not anything I ever had happen. Certainly not at a 5 star restaurant. My friend had just gone to the restroom so the fears of her walking by this crazy man. My thoughts are if someone is drinking why do they need a firearm on them? He was carrying a weapon on his person! I felt for the safety of my friend and I (both of us females) we didn’t feel safe and left as fast as we could close out our tab.

    David the waiter was very pleasant and on top of things. The food was excellent and on point. The only thing was we were celebrating 22nd Anniversary and I had wrote a note on the reservation but I guess they forgot it. We still ordered a carrot cake and it was amazing. Cheers!

    The food and service - Excellent Decor is a little dated. No signage/branding inside for pics/posting - huge missed opportunity for Killens. White tablecloths with white napkins very boring, especially considering the Excellent food and service. Decor doesn't match-up to price either.

    My dining experience at Killen's was mixed. For a high end steakhouse I feel Killens had a few misses in service - especially for the price. It was three of us that attended (myself and my two business partners). No special occasion just a good steak diner was expected. We were seated promptly and given our menus. The server attended for our drinks and shared specials. When we got ready to order, I had ordered a salad but specificaly asked for non bacon balsamic and no bacon or pork products in any of my meals. She assured me that was not a problem. Then one of my partners was debating between a wet, dry or a special type of Riub Eye. He asked the server if they had a Snake River Farm ribeye available compared to the Wet Aged Ribeye. She said yes but its going to be a "little bigger steak" We did not know what "little bigger steak" meant....when the steak arrived it was the 27Oz bone in ribeye which is like 11 oz bigger than the regular ribeye - "a little bigger. I feel the server misrepresented what she was suggesting to my partner. A better approach would have been to say, "yes we have a SRF Ribeye, but just so that you know it is a bone-in and it is 33 oz. Will that be OK?" For a high end steakhouse we expect the server to be detailed in what they are serving and present options with clarity and accuracy! This was not done. My partner was expecting a similar sized Ribeye and instead he got a gigantic steak that was too much and a lot of it went to waste because he could not finish it - not by a long shot even after sharing a piece with me! Also when my salad arrived, I noticed what definitely looked like bacon bits on my salad. Even though I had specifically asked for it to be not there AND she had assured me that would be the case. When I called her to let her know of the mistake, she said "Oh No those are candie pecans I know they did not put bacon". OK so in a high end steakhouse your customer is telling you they see something the the

    NYE: Filet was “over” cooked. Soup was served cold. Sides were good. Desert was good as well. Was disappointed that the filet mignon was cut open to check doneness- not profession to do that. Not sure was happened, but that has never been my experience there and was really let down. Because it was NYE, I did not send my food back to the kitchen… but really wanted to. I know this establishment is capable of doing better and may give them another try in the future.

    We generally really love Killens, something was off with the steaks last night on NYE unfortunately. We always get the aged ribeye and new york, and last night the flavor just honestly wasn't good. We mentioned it to the server but didn't want to send them back because they were of course very busy. Neither of us finished our steaks and when trying them again today, they just weren't good. We'll go back, the server was excellent and we really like the restaurant, everyone is always great and the food is generally top notch, but the rating for this particular meal unfortunately isn't very good. That said, when we do go back and it's excellent once again, I'll happily leave a positive review for it.
