killen's steakhouse

$400 meal and we couldn't have a conversation.. arrived at six with friends who hadn't been there.steakswere great and service good, but well never go back. a table of six across the room was screaming and yelling the entire meal; watching a game on their phones and cheering like it was a sports bar. we mentioned it twice to our waiter and he said other tables had complained also. we couldn't even have a conversation. it was miserable... for $400 i asked the manager when we left why he didn't step in and he said they tried to hurry them out. well, they were having dessert when we had apps and they finally left when we had dessert. too many good houston restaurants to make the drive for this.

overpriced. my wife and i were excited about trying killens for my birthday dinner based on what we had heard. however we were very underwhelmed. place looked like a roadside bar outside and was actually decorated with floor tiles on the ceiling. the sat us at stable at back where my view was the wall. service was slow, taking 10 min just to see our waiter for drink orders.steakswere good but nothing i would go back for and we have had better for less. very limited wine by the glass selection. we tried 3 reds and settled for the least offensive. just a lot of hype but didn't deliver on expectations. won't go back.

went there for my husband's birthday with our children to celebrate. i wish we would have eaten there before we chose it for a special occasion. if you have never been there i'm sure that you have had this experience somewhere else. picture a really small restaurant with a awkward floor plan ( the dining room is really small with a whole bunch of tables shoved into it then a very small area was divided with a make shift wall- lattice or something to that effect.) in which the small area is crammed full of tables. the divided small area you have to squeeze threw to get to the rest room. the tables are so close together that when getting up from the table you have to either bump the guest sitting behind you with your chair and squeeze out or hold it. the restaurant is so smallyou can see everything from the front door- the kitchen, their refrigerators, all the tables and guest even the bathroom door.) all from first glimpse from the front door. ok so i will move on to the food. you will see more reviews about soups, salads, & appetizers and sides for this place for two reasons they're pretty good ( my favorite was the tuna tacos) and they are more affordable. my husband ordered the house special it was a 32oz with a what they call a dry rub ( ordering beef there or listening to them explain exactly how each steak was different and of coarse why and all the history behind that is like going to basking and robbins for chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and them having evening but that then you have to listen to them go threw each flavor and its description and why its better than chocolate chip cookie dough.) ok so don't be intimidated by the 32oz its a lot more bone than meat. i had the 16oz dry rub rib eye... mine was sweet his was smokey. they bake they'resteaksnot grill. mine was dry his was moist. they noise from other tables was out of this world because it really cramped up and of coarse people drinking bottle after bottle of wine things tend to get louder. i had my children in there with me so me and my husband got upset when table right across from us started getting really rowdy and vulgar. the staff (two of them) where cutting up with them. the manager with just walking around getting people their water etc he would look over during the next histerical outburst and laugh. we asked one of the servers if they could keep it down our kids were with us he said not a problem y'all are about threw with it i will box it up and not to worry he understood ( this was at the beginning of our meal) . so if you go and like the place great if not sorry. good luck i hope better experiences for every one.

the only steakhouse anywhere that i recommend the seafood and thesteaksare even better, but the real reason this place is worth the money is the carrot cake.

vegetarian approved. being a vegetarian, i assumed going to a steakhouse for my father's birthday meant that if i was lucky i could find a salad and a side dish i could eat. oh how wrong i was. i ask the waiter what they had that i could eat and he informed me that the chef usually likes to come out and prepare something especially for vegetarians that they would like. the chef came out, ask me what i liked and told me about the best heirloom carrots they just got in and some other wonderful garden treats. i gave him free reign to make whatever he wanted and he prepared the best meal i've ever had. it is hard for me to explain the dish exactly, but i assure you that the chef will not disappoint you.
also, all the very picky carnivores at the table were extremely happy with theirsteaks- especially the bone-in grilled ribeye. to top off the dinner we all had their top rated bread pudding which was great too.

finally. i love this place.steakswere perfect. everything was fresh and delicious. loved desserts of bread pudding and chocolate mousse cake! service was excellent. we absolutely plan on eating here often

one amazing steakhouse.. i absolutely love this restaurant. the wait staff is always extremely helpful, polite and friendly. thesteaksare incredible, i've eaten here at least 4 times and i try something different each time. it's all been really delicious so far. i cannot recommend it enough. eat here!!

if you like snooty waiters, overpriced food, undercooked side dishes, and off temperaturesteaks- this is the place for you! we've been twice because of rave reviews, but were unimpressed with killen's steakhouse.

the place to go for a good steak. not at all what i was expecting down in pearland, but would put it up there as one of the beststeaksin houston. not to mention that their bread pudding is rated one of the top 10 dishes in america. do yourself a favor and try this place out.

amazing, one of the beststeaksthat i have ever had. i highly recommend this restaurant. come early!!!

bad manaagement-bad waiter-bad experience. we made reservations 2 weeks in advance for our 30th wedding anniversary. my in-laws had tried the restaurant about 3 weeks ago and couldnt stop talking about it. we had to wait abut 15 minutes for our table to be ready. we ordered the crab cake appetizer, and the crab was good but the shrimp was fishy tasting. next was salad and french onion soup. the soup was cold, and we had asked for bread when the soup was brought to the table. we never got a chance to complain about the cold soup, as we never saw the waiter. the bread was finally brought once the soup and salad dishes were removed-not what we had in mind, but it gave us something to do during the extended wait we had until oursteaksarrived-at least 30 minutes. all 4steaksarrived cold, and had obviously been sitting undelivered for at least 15-20 minutes. one ribeye did not look or taste right, and we told the waiter it was a sirloin strip. when the manager came over we told him that all thesteaksand the 2 potato sides were cold. he disappeared to get a tray, and finally took the food back to the kitchen 10 minutes later. imagine our surprise when he returned with a fresh replacement for the suspect ribeye, and the other 3 original steaks. the 3steakswere still cold, and had been sitting under heat lamps for the past 30 minutes. since it was a special occasion and we were not alone we chose not to make a bigger deal of the situation. the filet was overcooked, the edges tased funny and were not eaten. the porterhouse was cold and tasteless. the manager seemed surprised that we expected fresh hot steaks. he eventually took off two of thesteaksoff the bill, but it was still expensive for bad service, cold, heat lamp heated steaks, and cold side orders at $7 each for some less than impressive potatoes (the steak fries and roasted potatoes). overall we were there 2 1/2 hours, and did not have dessert (and it wasnt offered), and couldnt wait to leave. it took them 20 minutes to process the check and payment. i even had to ask for a mint to get the taste out of my mouth, and the waiter looked for some. save the drive to pearland and enjoy yourself in the luxury of v*i*c & a*n*t*h*o*n*y*s downtown. same prices, awesome service, much nicer surroundings,and good food.
