Killen's in the Heights

I went there today with my fiancée around 2 PM — shoutout to everyone working the bar today. They were super nice and talkative, which is honestly a great thing for bartenders. The food was really, really good. I got the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes… phenomenal. Definitely get the pork belly as an appetizer, the mac and cheese, and the collard greens. The portions are huge — we couldn’t even finish everything and had to take some home. As someone who also works in the industry, I noticed everybody helping each other out, and there was almost no wait time for a table. They were a little busy, but not anything too crazy. Overall everything was great, and we’ll definitely be back 🙏🏻

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!

Popped in for a bite, best thing on the menu for appetizer...The Pork Belly. The chicken fried steak looked huge, and the waiters were very friendly and informative. Lots of business people out for lunch. Definitely would come back...I didn't understand why people would stand outside Truth Barbeque when you have a Michelin Rated place like this here..loved it! We came back a second time since I wrote this review. My son had the beef rib....Best damn thing ever! The chicken fried chicken amazing, and I had oysters with a Ceasars salad..drinks and again the dessert...our new favorite place. I have told many of my clients to try the place out and they have great feedback.
