Killen's Barbecue Restaurant

Founded in 2013, Killen's BBQ is the childhood dream of chef Ronnie Killen.

Grilled meats will be juicy when they're freshly baked but will be dry and chewy after a few hours. Therefore, many customers are willing to wait in line in front of the restaurant while they are cutting their freshly baked bacon.

Experience a culinary experience at Killen's BBQ, a Texas-inspired restaurant with grilled meats served in a cafe-like setting, placed on cold paper, cut to order, and sold by weight or piece. The restaurant is flooded with sunlight with glossy concrete floors, formica tables and vintage metal chairs.

This place has been likened to the epicenter of Houston's barbecue revival with a wide variety of meats and recipes, all of which are of the quality that diners expect. Killen's BBQ's beef ribs come from Allen Brothers in Chicago, the nation's most premium steak purveyor, and the brisket is USDA Prime (made from young, healthy, lean cuts of beef). Once cooked at the restaurant, the beef brisket will have a beautiful black crust on the edges, this is the crispy coating known as "bark" that Killen creates by mixing salt and three types of black pepper. grind differently into the fat on the outside of the meat before smoking. This crust gives each juicy steak a certain amount of fat, crunch, and distinctive flavor. However, Killen's BBQ's famous beef rib dish is what makes diners admire because it is delicately prepared. The cook will smoke it slowly until the meat is tender in the middle and crispy on the top. The meat retains its sweet, succulent texture while surrounded by a crispy crust.

Beef brisket and ribs are popular dishes at the restaurant, but diners still have other options such as pork and chicken that are periodically served.

Accompanying each dish are three different sauces offered on each table for diners to choose from: tangy sauce - a typical Texas blend with a hint of chili pepper; coffee sauce is a great addition to beef; Sweet sauces are often likened to a reasonable companion for desserts.

Besides, Killen's BBQ restaurant also serves side dishes such as potato salad with mustard sauce, spicy pork pinto beans, ramen coleslaw, spicy avocado pickles, jalapenos and homemade onions. Desserts include banana pudding with cream served with vanilla sponge cake, pecan pie, pudding crème brûlée and seasonal snacks that are suitable options to end the meal.
