Reviews for Killen's STQ in Houston, TX
We ordered Habanero & Cherry BBQ Pork Belly, Bone Marrow & Herbs, Perfectly Grilled Filets, and Mac & Cheese. Our waiter said... that the pork belly was a “religious experience” and it did not disappoint. We even got to take some extra BBQ sauce home,which I used on everything! 4 stars only because the mac and cheese was a bit dry and the restaurant was freezing, but I mayhave just been sitting near a vent. Everything was great and I would absolutely recommend! Read more
We are here a few weeks ago and had a decent experience but not up to par with other Killen’s restaurant experiences. Our... waiter was precious and could not have been nicer! The food was… meh, okay. Killen’s Steakhouse and Killen’s in theHeights blow this place away when it comes to food. Here’s my biggest complaint: we made reservations online for 8:30 and wewere called by the restaurant earlier in the evening and told/asked if we would move to 8 since they could fit us in and thekitchen closed at 9. I said yes however we might be late because we are coming from an event. We ended up being about 8:15 andwe were called and reminded 3 times upon arrival that they closed at 9. It felt like we were being rushed as soon as we arrived,an experience I’ve never had at another establishment. We ordered quickly to try and appease them. My suggestion would be forthem to remove the 8:30 reservation time online if it is an inconvenience to them, because that’s exactly what we feltlike. Overall, okay experience. Likely won’t seek out this Killen’s location again for the price/food being just okay. Read more
Food is absolutely superb. Slightly pricey but great portion sizes. My favorite was the biscuits and Mac and cheese. The crispy... meltiness of both were amazing Read more
We went with great friends for a Birthday Dinner and we have zero complaints!!! None. The staff were all fantastic as well as... every dish that we tried. The atmosphere was very relaxed and we were able to get above a quiet roar as the drinks kicked in….: ) nothing was rushed… Read more
Excellent meal. Several excellent appetizers (our group tried 6) and a short rib to die for.
The steak was good, but the sides were below mediocre- both as creativity and execution (mushrooms were so salty there were... hardly edible). Appetizers have been hit or miss. Wine was warm, because -we were told- any wine at less than $150/bottledoesn't fit in the fridge!! Service was good though. We had a great time because of the company and the emotions we brought tothe evening. But given the food quality, I don't see myself going back. Read more
It has taken a long time for us to try this Ronnie Killen concept but it is wonderful. We started with the grilled octopus and... the crabcakes stuffed with shrimp. The red pepper aioli on the crabcakes wasmperfect with a bit sweetness to compliment thecrabcakes. The grilled octopus is braised in red wine and finished on the grill paired with hummus, pickled cauliflower,watermelon radish and grapes is perfect. For mains we went with a wet aged rib medium rare plus and a braised short rib and bothwere completed perfectly. If u can eat the short rib in one sitting u r a monster! Read more
first time here and probably my last. I had high expectations of this place, heard good things but then again that was before... the pandemic not sure if the service went downhill since covid or what. we came on a week night out it was almost empty, and wehad ok service not that great, our waiter spent more time and chit chatted with other ppl than us. food was OK not special orgreat which I hope to be because I've been to other Killen restaurants and food and the service is always great and since thiswas on the higher end I expected more but was let down and this was one of the few restaurants I been to that does not offer afree dessert on your birthday, I'vebeen to many different steakhouses higher priced than this and they offer free dessert. onlypicked this place because of budget this year, we always try to go to a different nice steakhouse each year Read more
