About Killen's BBQ

Killen's BBQ is one of the best barbecue spots you’ll find, setting the gold standard for Texas-style BBQ. From the moment you walk in, the mouthwatering aroma of smoked meats gets your appetite going, and the casual, welcoming vibe makes it the perfect spot for a hearty meal. The food quality is generally good, with highlights like the steaks, mac and cheese, and bread pudding. The brisket is tender and flavorful, and the ribs fall off the bone with a glaze that’s just the right balance of sweet and savory. The jalapeño-cheddar sausage is a must-try. Sides are impressive; the mac and cheese is creamy, the coleslaw is crisp, and the creamed corn adds a touch of indulgence. Desserts like bread pudding are a Southern favorite, especially with its rich, comforting taste. Portions are generous, and service is friendly and efficient even during busy times, though some reviews mention interactions with staff can be strange or awkward. The atmosphere can feel a bit "iffy," with minimal lighting that might offer privacy but can also seem cold. Parking might be a challenge, and the dining room can be too cold for comfort. Overall, Killen's BBQ offers a satisfying experience, particularly for barbecue fans, though some may find the service and atmosphere less than ideal considering the price. Still, it remains a recommended destination for those wanting to enjoy Texas-style barbecue.

There is NO baby changing station 🚼 in their bathrooms. Brought it up to staff and they said they didn’t know! HOW! SMH!

We ate . We wanted food to go for family member at home. One employee said okay and started to get the food. The manager in the back said no ! The food we wanted was still available and in plain site. It was on Saturday at 7:00. Rude ! The four of us will never go there again!! $80 dollars later I guess we’re the suckers 😡😡😡😡
