Killen's offers a variety of dishes, not just amazing steaks. The service is top notch too! I highly recommend Killen's for a special occasion or an after work happy hour.

Killen's is one of my favorite steakhouses in the Woodlands. The place carries a highly competitive offering of top-notch liquor & wine selections to pair with their regular, akaushi and wagyu steaks. My preferred plate when diinng at Killen's is their parmesan-crusted chicken. Chicken in a steakhouse? They have two! The steaks of course are fantastic, and I can't wait to go back next week.

The server or kitchen (server blamed the kitchen) 'confused' the order. I ordered my lamb medium-rare, my ordered her steak medium. The orders came reversed. The quality of the meat, lamb and steak, were not the quality I would have expected. Not particularly their problem but BBQ sauce (even light) is not appropriate for lamb. Ate at Bob's multiple times and they were much better.

The food was excellent. Very flavorful and cooked to perfection. Atmosphere is fitting for large groups or intimate dining.

Went for a work dinner and this place is very fine dining. Would recommend the pork belly appetizer, filet, brussel sprouts, potatoes au gratin, and carrot cake. Our waitress was lovely and gave great recommendations. Probably can't afford to come back on my own but definitely would with
Very disappointed in the whole experience. Food was just okay. Nothing special. Service was really lacking. I had to order 3 different times just to get my glass of wine. I won’t be returning.

We went with a party of six for our 28th anniversary. We ordered the foie Gras toast which was excellent. The oysters again excellent and the pork belly also excellent The Caesar salads tasted like a salad with thousand island dressing topped with anchovies, with the lettuce being iceberg rather than romaine. The French onion soup was not traditional and super sweet. The server said they used apples in the broth and took it off our bill. The duck was amazing. The filet flight and a5 was amazing. The onion ring were huge and chewy like they were undercooked. They did take the onion rings and the French onion soup off the bill which was great and not expected, or even necessary as we ordered it. However for a nice restaurant the ambiance was loud and the bar in the center of the room was more of a sports bar. The bar wasn’t loud it didn’t effect us but it could if be there was a big game on. My issue was the service. We weren’t even afforded the opportunity to order dinner until after our appetizer were served. Which meant while we were eating the appetizer we had to deal with where we put our menus and the delay between finishing our appetizer and getting dinner took a long time. Everything took a really long time. There was a lot of downtime. We were ready to leave before dinner was served. In my opinion it was a service issue. In addition there was no recognition that it was our anniversary. Not necessarily a big deal but it’s nice when it happens.

Had an amazing experience with my fiancé, our server Robert helped us celebrate our engagement. From the moment we walked in and walked out, Robert made us feel special. The food was excellent, overall a 10/10 experience!

We didn't end up eating there last night. Just couldn't stomach to horrible table they said was our only choice. We like their food and like their STQ format in Houston, but a few of the tables in the Woodlands are so bad that we'd rather not spend $150+ a person (we drink nice wine) and sit in a table that shouldn't be there. Terra Vino down the street was good, worth the $350 tab for two.

My escapade at Killen’s Steakhouse felt more like a comedy of errors than a fine dining experience. From the moment I waltzed in with my 8:15 pm reservation, I might as well have brought a sleeping bag and pitched a tent because they certainly weren’t in a hurry to seat me. After a lengthy wait, we were finally ushered to our table at 8:30 pm, setting the stage for a night of culinary calamities.The service? 2 hours for entrée at 10:15pm. If chaos had a flavor, it would taste like their sautéed mushrooms – a mouthful of cheap cooking wine and confusion. And don’t even get me started on the crab cakes; I felt like a contestant on a culinary game show, trying to guess which shell fragment would pop up next.As for the main event, the Snake River Farms 14oz New York strip was about as thrilling as watching paint dry. I’ve had more flavor-packed experiences at your local Texas Roadhouse, where even their USDA choice sirloin outshines this overpriced disappointment.But fear not, for there was a shining beacon amidst the culinary chaos: the pork belly appetizer. Of course, it’s kind of hard to ruin bacon, but credit where credit’s due – they managed to get that one right.At a jaw-dropping $360 for two, I couldn’t help but feel like I’d stumbled into a dinner theater production of “Dining Disasters: The Musical.” This steakhouse seems tailor-made for NPCs and those with palates that mistake mediocrity for luxury.Save yourself the agony and head over to Flemings or Perry’s for a dining experience that won’t leave you questioning your life choices. Heck, even your local Roadhouse offers a quicker, cheaper, and tastier alternative.3 thumbs down ? ? ?
Food was taste despite no steak sauce. Made a reservation at 8:30 and did not get seated until 9PM. Food took long but it was a special holiday so the venue was packed. Would try again but during Valentine's Day.

On Valentine's night, we tried Killen's for the first time. The set menu was reasonable with a great selection. However, the service was notably slow; despite our 7:30 reservation, we were seated at 7:45 and didn't receive our food until 9:15, with the server attributing the delay to a backed-up kitchen. While my partner's filet was delicious, my ribeye was disappointing – thin and not resembling the promised 16oz. It looked and tasted like something from Golden Corral, making it the least enjoyable steak I've ever had. To compensate for the extended wait, the GM kindly offered us a complimentary drink. While we understand it was Valentine's Night, better preparation in the kitchen would have greatly improved the overall experience.

There was along wait between salad and main course. It was Valentine's Day so I expected it to be a little slow but it took maybe 30 mins to get our main course. The up-charged wagyu steak was very good but the ribeye that my wife had which wasn't wagyu was tough and didn't have great flavor. Overall I was disappointed in the experience.
We went on Valentine's Day and enjoyed the prix fixe menu. Everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered a flight of Wagyu steaks and they were all cooked to perfection, my husband had the lamb chops and they were delicious as well. We will definitely be back!
