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.

Killens BBQ in Woodlands
and Shenandoah

Absolutely mouth watering Brisket,service was phenomenal!
Will definitely visit again when I am back in town!

All I have to say is I’m 36 weeks pregnant and this meal was BOMB. We ordered a few things to try since this was our first time. And literally EVERYTHING was great. I know what I’ll be asking my husband for when we deliver our son at the hospital across the street 😂 Just typing this has me drooling over how good the bread pudding was.
