Killen's Barbecue

Absolutely worth the wait. Beef ribs and pork belly are fantastic, but I think everything is, actually. Bread pudding and banana pudding are excellent if you are looking for an exclamation point.

The real trick here is the beef rib . Sold by the piece and worth every penny of the $18/lb. price tag, it's a meaty masterpiece. Peppery bark gives way to meat slicked with perfectly rendered fat. Read more

This is one of the greatest BBQ places in Texas! The brisket & the beef ribs are fantastic! The potato salad is an absolute must try here & don't forget to save room for their delicious dessert ! Read more

Beef ribs (best I've had) and Brisket (2nd best) hands down. Heads up that the beef ribs are huge!! Like forearm sized. So 1 rib will be about 1.5 lbs ~$33.

Ronnie Killen 's permanent Pearland location is open! The reverse-flow pit is being put to good use, since the long lines and sold-out 'cue continue at this '50s-inspired cafeteria-style meat mecca. Read more

Everyone talks about the beef ribs , and for good reason, perfect texture and a head rush of flavor. Just do it because otherwise you'd regret it!

Worth the short wait . Went there on a Thursday at 11:30 AM, wait wasn't too bad. FYI, you don't have to get back in line once you're inside to order again. I'll let the photo do the talking!

About a year before this smoked meats mecca opened, Ronnie Killen was hosting barbecue pop-ups that have earned this place long lines of folks eager to taste ribs , sausage & brisket . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Beef ribs beef ribs !!! A Must order!! We enjoyed it all from the pork ribs , brisket (both lean & fatty), sausage but the beef ribs are outstanding! Mac&cheese was great & we loved the bread pudding !!

The new sit down layout is great. Had a chance to get all the sides. Mac and cheese brisket and beef rib . Can’t go wrong.

Everything is really good! Of course BBQ is delicious (served a little warm) but the sides are to die for (not served hot either).

Wasn't able to try the beef ribs and had the brisket , pork belly and sausage . All are good. Probably the best BBQ I've had on this Houston trip

By far one of the best BBQ locations in the State of Texas. This is a place that must be put on your list for BBQ aficionados. Ronnie does this right and well worth the wait.

For weekend lunch get there at 10:30 (opens at 11) for shorter line and getting a table. Creamed corn is a must. Pulled pork and sausage are great.

Be prepared for a long wait , but: Best pulled pork ever, and I’ve had plenty. Excellent brisket . I even liked the slaw and I don’t like slaw . Save room for the bread pudding .

Fella's let Killen's do the grilling and you play more golf . Ladies book a spa date and leave your dinner party meat entree to Killen's. The beef by the pound is delectably delicious. #dontmissit

One of the best BBQ joints in the country . Brisket , ribs , turkey .... Look it's all good so just go ahead and order

Beef ribs , burnt ends , extra moist brisket , creamed corn & any dessert are staples. Fried chicken on Sunday, chicken fried steak on Tuesday. Long lines . 🍖🍗

Excellence in BBQ and sides. Brisket , ribs and pulled pork are exceptional. Creamed corn , baked beans , and bread pudding for dessert are a must!

Brisket is incredible, beef ribs too. And the bread pudding , cream corn , and mashed potatoes just keep the standards mile high. So so delicious!

Fall off the bone BBQ !!! heavy portions (doesn't look it but it is)...so good they usually run out of stuff between 3 and 5 pm then It's a wrap !! Highly recommend!

Killens did not live up to my expectations. Pork ribs and briaket were cold. This is a big no-no for such a famous place. Quiantity was fair for the price. The corn was very good.

Ronnie Killen actually makes the sausage himself using brisket and pork loin with no filler. Definitely something you want to try! Read more

Brisket is phenomenal! Get 2 pounds of it to take home so you can feast all week.

Worth the wait on a weekend! You can get there 45 min early or wait in line for 45 min. Either choice you make, you win!

Avoid the long lines by going at around 1-2pm. Beef ribs was to die for. Tender meats, average sides, great flavors

The Pulled Pork Sandwich with cole slaw was really yummy. Their pumpkin bread pudding was also delicious. Will come back again.

I've never had so many delicious things on my plate at a barbecue place all at once before. If there's a bad choice here I sure didn't have it.

The best damn BBQ ever! But unless you get here early be prepared to wait in line ! We got here at around 11:30 and waited about an hour.

Brisket is excellent. Good sides too. I had the collards and the mac & cheese . Both very tasty.

Be prepared to stand in line , a while -t think Franklin's BBQ . A good Central TX style BBQ . They have draft beer for you as you wait in line . :-)

Hands down BEST BBQ ! Long line outside, but it's definitely worth the wait. (Free beer while you wait)

Amazing! Their bread pudding was the best I've ever had!

The brisket , pulled pork , pork belly . . . heck, all of the meats are delicious and succulent.

Go before it opens to line up if you want to make sure nothing runs out before you get it. Brisket and beef ribs on point.

Check out Killen's Barbecue as it was featured on Top 5 Restaurants for Number 2 on the list - known for their amazing brisket . Read more

Everything is good. But, at least have a 2 meat combo plus sides. Oh, try the pickled onions . Bread pudding

Honestly, it is some of the best BBQ I've ever eaten. It's an amazingly inefficient system to get the BBQ but delicious!

It is the fanciest BBQ joint I’ve ever been to - like a 5 star Michelin Rated - 5 Diamond type of BBQ joint . It was good though!

Although Killen's has a high rating, we have had better BBQ at other places; including Central BBQ down the street & Red River in Lg City .

Be prepared to wait but everything is great. On my first trip they had pumpkin spice bread pudding which was unbeatable.

Amazing brisket and totally worth the wait.

Beef ribs were amazing! Well seasoned, crispy outside and moist, fatty inside. Also, loved their creamed corn ! Mac & cheese is yucky.

Arrive early! The 'kitchen' opens at 11am. We showed at noon, waited 1hr 45mins and were some last people to get BBQ .

Get what I got (see picture). Best in class .

Beef ribs best I've had very juicy and filled with amazing flavors

Try the creamed corn and bread pudding with your BBQ 😻

Wagyu brisket and the creamed corn

Great ribs ! But everything is good.

Everything is so good there. It's hard to pick what you want. Plus free beer !!
