Killen's in the Heights

My friends and I came here for our last day in Texas, it was great decision. We wanted some good TX BBQ and this place was it. Michelin star not to mention. I like how the menu is set up to order. my favorite item I ordered was the white queso mac and cheese, my gooooodnessssss!!! I should have ordered some to bring some home !!! The brisket was soooooo good too! We ordered a few drinks our waiter was the bartender too he was super cool and polite , great guy!!! We had the restaurant to ourselves , the establishment is super clean and I nice spacious set up! Great time!! I will return when I make it back to TX!!!

This is elevated, fancy Killen’s. A different menu and vibe than other Killen’s location. Sit down rather than counter service. An elevated BBQ vibe, but same incredible taste. Very worthy of its Michelin bib. The service was friendly and attentive. This is a true gem and worth the stop!

Killen’s is truly one of our favorite spots to go on dates in fact we had a Valentine’s event there in February and everyone agreed it was some of the best food they had tried. This place never fails to impress us. UPDATE: we went back recently and Waylon was our server again! We had another phenomenal experience and my hubby and I are still dreaming about the food!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Killen’s of Heights — Absolutely Amazing This place was incredible from start to finish. I started with the wings — perfect appetizer, full of flavor. I ordered the chicken fried chicken (amazing!) while my wife got the fried chicken — crispy, juicy, and seasoned just right. The sides? Mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and greens — all amazing, no misses here. We finished with carrot cake and banana pudding for dessert, and both were packed with flavor. Killen’s is easily the 2nd best restaurant in Houston (Gracie’s still holds the #1 spot for me), but wow — this meal was unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Order the brisket hamburger and it was packed with so much brisket, I couldn’t finish it. The brisket was good and the burger was seasoned well. But the best thing was the banana pudding cheesecake. That was perfection! Kilens bbq hasn’t let me down!
