   We love Killen’s but last night was a little disappointing. We really love the queso, but it came out cold. Like so cold when I put the spoon in, it stood up straight. We asked to have it heated and they brought it back cold again, so we just sent it back. Super disappointing because the queso is so good when it’s warm!

   Brisket and Brussel sprouts were amazing. Potato salad had hardly and potatoes in it and Mac and cheese tasted like there was mayo in it. Sauces were all very vinegary so didn’t like at all! Service was excellent.

    It was a great atmosphere. The reservation setup was easy and we changed ours and the staff was SUPER EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing. The brisket (lean) was one of the best I have ever had. Thank you for a great experience

    Brisket, cream corn, macaroni and cheese and banana pudding were all fantastic. Staff is amazingly professional and courteous. Very attentive without being a bother. Great place. I would not order the sausage again. Next time I'll try pork ribs. Wife's baked potato brisket was great.

    We got there at 5:00 pm when they opened for dinner seating. We had a reservation, but there wouldn’t have been a issue getting a table then. However, by the time we left around 6:15 the place was packed with a short line. I will say that the restaurant was very cold, so if you are prone to feeling cold, bring a sweater/jacket. Food was delicious and staff was helpful. Portions are pretty generous. We had the deviled eggs and the brisket queso as apps. Both were fantastic, but the generous portions didn’t apply to the queso. It was just a cup, so we ended up needing to order a second order. The entrees were large enough that we all brought home leftovers. Mac & cheese and Brussel sprouts were amazing.

    I went with a friend from out of state looking for the best brisket in town and believe we have found it here. The food was delicious, beer was good, wait staff fantastic and ambience was lively. We will be back again most definitely, with more friends.

    The hostess was inappropriately dressed - VERY low cut & no bra. The staff started closing things down while people were still eating, making us feel rushed. They turned off the tv, took the condiments off the table to refill, etc. The food was EXCELLENT and our waiter did a fabulous job!

    Excellent barbecue. The Brisket was moist and delicious, the Pork Ribs were big, meaty and tender. Our waiter was not as top notch as some we observed around us. We had to ask him for sauce and bread, like we were an afterthought. The superb barbecue far surpassed the inadequate service.

    First time at Killian’s. The beef rib plate with mashed potatoes and baked beans was phenomenal, best baked beans I have at a barbecue. I recommend the coffee barbecue sauce on the beef rib. I wanted to try the sausage but unfortunately it was dinner time and they were already out for the day.

    My son and I were visiting Houston and drove 30 minutes to Killens for dinner. The meal was well worth it. The moist brisket was unbelievably juicy and tender.
