What people say

Barbecue restaurants are known for their mouth-watering smoked meats and Killen's BBQ in Houston is no exception. Chef Ronnie Killen's commitment to quality is evident in every bite of the salt-and-peppered-crusted brisket, pork and beef ribs, and housemade smoked sausage. The Central Texas style barbecue uses different woods, different meats, and different pits for different meats, ensuring a unique flavor profile for each dish.

What sets Killen's BBQ apart from other barbecue joints is the use of high-quality ingredients like Allen Brothers beef ribs and Creekstone Farms brisket. The one-of-a-kind indoor pit central to the structure holds around 450 pounds of meat and provides heat and smoke under the cooking surface before venting via the chimney. The outdoor wood-fired Oyler smoker can hold up to 1,800 pounds of meat, making it perfect for pork ribs, pork butt, bone-in pork belly, chicken, turkey breast and sausage.

The restaurant itself is located in a renovated 50's style diner that was once Pearland ISD's first school cafeteria where Chef Ronnie Killen worked as a teenager. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting with friendly staff who are always ready to help you choose from their extensive menu.

Overall, Killen's BBQ is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for delicious barbecue in Houston. With its commitment to quality ingredients and unique cooking methods, it's no wonder why this restaurant has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
