    The ambience is far beneath the menu pricing. Bathrooms had no toilet paper in a stall and napkins laid bare with no holders. Dining area showed scratches and overall wear and tear. Food was ok. Lots of loud, seemingly drunk patrons sitting at the sports bar area and dining area. Service was poor. Received little attention from the waiter. Definitely will not be returning.

    Tried this restaurant for the first time as suggested by a colleague. Ordered a few items from wagyu beef to prime. The temperature of the meat was wrong, the meat lacked salt which was not even offered and our server did t even ask how the meal was but after the fact. We were celebrating my sons bday and he was left with disappointment. Will not be coming back to this one for personal or business gatherings.

    Noise level was LOUD. We had to shout across the table to be heard (because everyone else was shouting). Ambiance was excellent - perfect for an intimate night out with spouse or for a business dinner to impress. Service was fabulous (thank you Blake). An extensive wine list with some high-quality selections. This place is expensive, so be prepared for sticker shock.

    When you spend $100+ on a steak, the expectation is that the quality of meat, preparation, and flavoring (saltiness) is significantly better than you would get at a saltgrass or Longhorn steakhouse. Those expectations were far from met this week. I have dined with customers at this restaurant 7 or 8 times over the past two years and there are noticeable changes in food quality, specifically steak and sides. Unfortunately, this will no longer be a recommendation.

    First time to eat at Killen's in the Woodlands. All was excellent, as usual. Still a little pricey for everyday dining but always enjoy our once-a-year experience for the holiday with friends.

    Absolutely amazing! Perfect spot for a special occasion! Food is always stellar and consistent. Drinks perfectly made but makes Killen’s so special is the service! Ronnie and his team hire the best, they treat you like family and execute with out a flaw. Is it a more expensive meal, yes, but you are also getting the best meat on the planet. Enjoy life and enjoy the moment. Plus, if you’re in the mood for Chicken Fried Steak, you won’t find a better platter than this!

    I was a little disappointed with the food to some extent as well as the service. It took twenty minutes to get the lobster bisque and it was terrible. It was very spicy and it didn't have much lobster in it. I have had it at your Pearland restaurant, and it was delicious. I wouldn't recommend your lobster bisque to anyone. The rest of the food was very good. The other two people at our table though the steaks, fish, and vegetables were delicious. Note that they did not have an appetizer. The service was very slow and we were a little disappointed with his serivce.\.

    We had a great experience from the time we walked into the restaurant until the time we left. The ambiance is fabulous and our waiter was phenomenal. This will be our new “go-to” steakhouse for a memorable evening. The Killens Cosmopolitan was absolutely fantastic and we will be back again soon!

    My wife and I went there for our Anniversary and needless to say, we were impressed. First, we were greeted by friendly and polite staff and even though we showed up 30 min early for our reservation we were promptly seated. Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food was delicious and to be expected from a fine-dining steakhouse. Overall, we will definitely be back.

    The food as normal was excellent. Our server was very courteous and knowledgeable. He took very good care of us. The only real issue we had was that when the food was packaged to go someone mixed up the boxes per customers. My wife and my food was not put together and my steak was included in the other party's bag. Good thing we double checked after we left to make sure everyone got what they were supposed to get.

    First visit and it was wonderful. We were given a choice of table or booth; chose booth. Our waiter, Tuan(?) was excellent. He provided attentive service, great insight about the menu and engaging conversation. The ribeye was cooked to perfection, as was the salmon. The atmosphere was romantic and cozy! Definitely a top notch restaurant. Because the bar area is open to the dining area, the noise level is high, but not intrusive. Highly recommend for a fine dining experience.

    We love the steak at Killens. This is our favorite date night spot without the kids. Crab cakes are the best ever. The sides are not great. The service has been pushing add ons and upcharges. The food will sell itself if you let it.

    Family celebration night! We had a GREAT time at Killins in The Woodlands and our first time dining at that location. We traveled up from Houston on a Friday night, in the traffic, specifically to experience Killins Steakhouse in The Woodlands. We have been to STQ, the restaurant in the Heights and also the old steakhouse in Pearland when Ronny was still managing it. Everything was a 5 star experience, cocktails, appetizers, wine, entrees, dessert, ambiance, service, etc. Everyone had such a great time. We had a larger group (8) and everyone found something social on the menu to enjoy! Thank you for making our experience and celebration wonderful!

    Our first time there - had a drink at the bar first, but once at the table we had the pork belly, wagu skewers and french onion soup to start. Our waitress helped with our wine selection. We had the brussel sprouts and au gratin potatoes, my wife got the wet aged filet and I got the domestic wagu filet - for double the price it was not double as good…

    Vaughn was an excellent server. She was very knowledgeable in answering all the questions we had about the different steaks offered and even offered some that were not on the menu. We were seated next to a very loud gentleman, but he was actually quite comical to eavesdrop on, so it didn’t ruin our experience or anything. The playlist was odd for the setting. There were at least five different Beatles songs that played and one even repeated during the hour+ that we were there. They could do better for such a nice place. The food was delicious. We got the Thai oysters and Wagyu skewers to start. The meat on the skewers melted in your mouth and the sauce was quite tasty. We split a grilled peach and burrata salad that I would not order again. The peaches were fine but nothing on the plate really complimented the other. We got the Snake Farms ribeye and Japanese A5 NY strip for the main course. Both were very good and slightly over seasoned, it we love salt so it wasn’t too bad in that aspect. Better than under seasoned for sure! Carrot cake was brought home for dessert and probably would have been better eaten there while warm, but we were stuffed at that point! We will definitely go back for a special occasion.

    We tried the Wagyu flight which was good, but not great for the price. We requested medium rare, but it was more like medium. The salads were great as were the Brussels sprouts. The mushrooms were prepared in a heavy wine reduction sauce, making them too thick, soft and heavy. The scallop appetizer was yummy.
