My wife and I have had this place on our list to try out for almost 3yrs and finally got the opportunity to go on a Friday evening for our anniversary. I'll start by saying our service was impeccable the entire evening, I can't remember the name of our waitress, but she was attentive, kind, helpful, and really did make the evening amazing! Regarding food, I started with lobster bisque, and my wife had a salad. The lobster bisque, I would rate 4/5 stars, as it had a mild smooth flavor, but it was missing something that I just could not put my finger on. My wife enjoyed her salad and ate it all. For entrees, I ordered the beef Wellington, and my wife ordered a wet aged steak. The beef Wellington was cooked to perfection. The pastry was perfect and crispy. Though after tasting my wife's steak I regret not ordering a steak instead. The steak was delicious and seasoned perfectly. For sides, we ordered the brussels sprouts and lobster mac & cheese, the brussels sprouts were not as we expected, they were a bit too wet in the vinaigrette style dressing that they were in which made them too soft, I was hoping for a more crunchy, sweeter flavor and the vinegar flavor was a bit overpowering. I will say though that both my wife and I joked that we would come back just for the lobster mac & cheese. YES IT IS that good. For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée, which was on the thicker side however, it did have a nice mild flavor. Since it was our anniversary and we noted that on our reservation, the restaurant kindly gifted us a small cut of their desserts on a plate with happy anniversary written in chocolate, which I thought was a very sweet and nice touch. Regarding ambience, my only regret was going at such a busy time of evening. It was pretty loud inside, which made it a little bit difficult to hear each other talk. However, I highly recommend others try this place out or come here for a special occasion. It was a wonderful evening!! read more

Please read, and don't waste your money like we did.------ We made a reservation at Killen's Steakhouse to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We had been there before and previously had a good experience, so this visit was disappointing. From the beginning, service felt off. Our table was wobbly, and we did not receive water until after we had already finished the complimentary bread. Our waiter never introduced himself and seemed very inexperienced. The food presentation was also underwhelming. My boyfriend ordered his steak medium well, but it was cooked unevenly -- medium well on the edges and medium in the center. The mushrooms lacked seasoning, and the cocktails looked rushed instead of thoughtfully prepared. Nothing about the meal felt picture-worthy or upscale, especially compared to other Houston restaurants like Bludorn, Perry's Steakhouse, or Whiskey Cake and many other restaurants in the Houston area. What surprised us most was that no manager ever came by to ask how everything was. For a restaurant with this reputation and pricing, we expected much better attention to detail and customer service. We were also disappointed that there was no complimentary birthday dessert. Many restaurants at this price point offer something small to help celebrate special occasions. The only promotion mentioned was signing up for rewards to receive a free dessert after spending $100. Unfortunately, this experience felt more like a casual chain restaurant than the high-end steakhouse experience we expected. We left disappointed and do not plan on returning. read more

Came for the 20th anniversary so can't complain about the price. Ribeye was generously seasoned with salt (to a fault). Strawberry salad with goat cheese was great. read more

Killen's Steakhouse has one of the best ribeyes I've ever had; however, I don't think it was worth $100 alone. My total bill came close to $200, which included 2 sides and a glass of red wine. Otherwise, I thought the customer service and ambiance were great! read more

Went for dinner during Houston Restaurant Week. Opted for the HRW menu, which was about $55 for a three course set. The atmosphere is smart casual, with a humming bustle of noise that makes conversation a little hard to hear. Service is simple but on point. The sourdough bread and butter is delicious, a nice soft bread with a lovely crispy crust and lightly salted soft butter. I got the Korean skewers, which were soft and tender and came with an interesting sauce. The filet mignon was a good size for 6oz, well-seasoned and cooked to a perfect medium. It came with a smooth mashed potatoes. We also ordered some roasted asparagus and Brussels sprouts, which were roasty and crispy with a vinegary sauce. The chocolate chiffon cake was very rich, with a light frosting and a little bit of toffee bites. The cake was much more dense than I expected for chiffon cake but was still a good bite. Killen's is a Bib Gourmand for a reason. It's a high end place that exudes the aura of luxury. The HRW menu is a relatively affordable way to get to experience that. This is definitely a special occasion kind of place. read more

Outstanding service--Paul was amazing! Came in on a Monday after work to finally try Killen's, and it did not disappoint. I ordered off the HRW menu: smoked Kurobuta pork belly (incredible flavor and sauce), prime NY strip (upgraded to 14 oz, perfectly cooked and seasoned), and bread pudding. Mashed potatoes were a miss for me--too salty and a bit like boxed--but the asparagus was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and not overcooked. I left so full I couldn't even touch dessert. Overall, a great meal and worth the drive. You can tell they know how to handle their premium cuts. This will definitely be a place I try again read more

Killen's 20th bday deal CAN. NOT. BE. BEAT. Service, as always, was Texan impeccable (friendly and familiar but with great "invisible " support servers). Ambiance is fine dining. Cocktails are FANTASTIC, wine list is extensive. We absolutely loved the pork belly appetizer & the candied nut/goat cheese/strawberry salad. But, frankly, our 14 oz ribeyes were unevenly seasoned and inconsistently cooked. They had a lot of gristle that could have been trimmed. But for 2006 prices at Killeen service? Slam dunk. I could not believe how good the chocolate cheesecake was either!! read more

We had a really wonderful experience here! Our waiter, James, was one of the best waiters we have ever had! Super attentive and very very kind. Definitely elevated the experience! We came with a large group and were able to try multiple dishes and we all really loved our food. The location feels a bit odd, but once you get inside it is a beautiful restaurant that doesn't feel too overdone. To start I got the pomegranate cocktail, and it was delicious. Not too sweet or too bitter- it was truly just right! They then brought bread out, which was good. We skipped apps, and got steak and sides. I had the filet mignon medium, and it was excellent! Cooked perfectly and seasoned well. One of the most tender steaks I've had! For sides, we got the creamed corn, mashed potatoes, potato and egg, green beans, and Mac and cheese. The mashed potatoes were especially amazing to me, super creamy and delicious! Of those, would highly recommend getting the mashed potatoes, creamed corn, and Mac and cheese. We liked the potato and egg too but the other three were clear stand outs! The green beans were good but nothing too outstanding. The next was dessert. This was all GREAT. We got the carrot cake, German chocolate cheese cake, key lime beignets, and the crème brûlée cheesecake. Everything was really good, but the carrot cake was a clear stand out. It was so moist and had the most delicious icing. I will be dreaming about this carrot cake! Overall such an incredible experience and highly recommend for special occasions. Wonderful spot! read more

We received a gift card to Killens for our Anniversary and came for an incredible meal. The location of this restaurant is a bit strange... seems out of place, if you will. Would think it'd be in the Galleria area or something, not in the middle of nowhere near crappy old strip malls and dumpy car washes. Anyways, inside, you wouldn't know you were in a suburb. They offered complimentary valet but we parked ourselves on the side with the hotel instead. Everyone here from the hostess to the "water boy"? Hydration expert? to our amazing server Emmett were EXCELLENT. We were really treated like royalty by everyone working here. For the food, well, we were blown away. I started with the French Onion Soup ($12), which was so delicious. The steaks were some of the best steaks we have ever had: perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth tender. I went with the wet aged 8oz Filet Mignon ($55) and my husband had the 16oz dry aged Ribeye ($80). We split 2 family style sides: the Brussels sprouts ($12) and onion rings ($12). The Brussels sprouts were tangy but sweet and are a MUST. The onion rings were HUGE. Despite not having room for dessert, our server surprised us with mini cakes. One was chocolate and the other was carrot cake. I preferred the chocolate and my husband liked the carrot. It was very nice surprise. Of course, this place is $$$$. We don't typically go out for $200+ meals but every once in awhile for a special occasion, it was really nice to act like "we be rich". Hahaha. (I am literally eating my leftovers for breakfast as I write this review and am still in awe about how good the food is.) Amazing amazing experience. read more

Brian, our Table Host, was amazing! Service: Brian was very knowledgeable and you can tell he studies the menu/food. His suggestions were on point! Location: This is a standalone building with a large parking lot. Parking: There is a huge parking lot that I assume you can self park at; however, we chose the valet option. Much faster for sure and the valet were polite. Ambiance: The Ambiance was very demure... In all honesty, it was like any other steakhouse with great decor, nice linens, and it was nice and clean. Food: The food was great, well seasoned and delicious! All the suggestions given were great! Priced about the same as other steakhouses in the city! Great food and great service! We will be back for sure! read more

I went here tonight ordering the wet-aged NY Strip cooked rare, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a slice of Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake for dessert. I even sat in the exact same high top as my last visit months ago. Very delicious, high quality, very flavorful and very well-made meat and sweet. The steak was simple, but also very well-seasoned, fatty to the right degree, had a great crust combined with meaty blueish inside when cut. Every bite was very consistent and very tender with some firmness at the same time as a good strip should have. The flavor profile was very beefy, hearty, salty and peppery all in one. Like I said, simple taste style, but very well executed. The wine was cold, crispy, refreshing, fruity and bitter quenching my pallet. I also enjoy gin, whisky, beer and sangria with steak when it comes to alcoholic drinks. I had their amazing carrot cake last time and almost got their amazing bread pudding this time, but decided to get that one next and try their new decadent chocolate cheesecake. They have changed this recipe several times. Since the one I read tonight sounded appetizing for an ultra chocoholic like myself, I had to get it. It was very rich, buttery, creamy, chocolaty. Very tasty, thick ganache on top with a very tasty, nutty, crispy, Oreo crust on bottom. It was a bit of a unique dessert and so addictive in each mouthful. I don't care much for plain cheesecake. However, if it's a chocolate version or like a cranberry / raspberry cream one like the seasonal cheesecake from Giacomo's, it's a must. The service was very welcoming, friendly, helpful and efficient. read more

Best Crab cake around. Chill bartenders. And Ronnie is the best. Best steak I've had in my 20+ years in Houston? The Japanese A5 Wagyu Strip. 30seconds past mid rare gives a little extra melt to the marble! Still miss the ambience of the original place in Pearland, but food is still just as good! read more

Killens Steakhouse - This man is so great! - Steakhouses Near Me - Pearland, Texas

My experience wasn't horrible but it wasn't wonderful. For the price, I expect better tasting food and drinks. The complimentary bread is warm, soft and tasty. We had issues with several drinks alcoholic and mocktails not tasting good. I was informed it could have been the new bartender. Once we switched to the other bartender drinks were better. The crab cake appetizer had lump crab. It's underseasoned though and there were pieces of shell in it. The pork belly app was delicious. The korean bbq skewers tasted ok but they came out cold. My friends enjoyed their steaks. The mac and cheese was tasty and creamy. The brussels were ok. The vinaigrette was too heavy and it was very vinegar forward. It over powered the taste of the brussels. The carrot cake was salty. The creme brulee cheesecake was good. We were in the party room and it was freezing but a nice area to gather with friends to celebrate a birthday. read more

I recommend a reservation in the dining room even during the week. You could sit at a bar top, but it is so loud at the bar. First, the place is nice. Service is on point. This is certainly a fancy steak place. The house old fashioned was $22 but you can get your choice of bourbon for an up charge. I got the dry aged ribeye. It was tasty. I also got the lobster Mac n cheese and that was amazing. I wanted the creamed spinach but the steak and Mac n cheese was more than enough. I certainly had leftovers. I didn't have room for dessert, but they offered a bite of cake for my birthday. I like this place. It seems like a good fancy date place. read more

Killens Steakhouse - Happy birthday - Steakhouses Near Me - Pearland, Texas

Great place for a nice dinner! Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is elegant yet cozy! Reservations are recommended. If you have a special event like birthday or anniversary and you let them know ahead of time, they have a sweet card at your table. The bread basket brought to your table has a fruit & nut bread and some white bread, both delicious. There is a good selection of wines & mix drinks. The Korean BBQ skewers with chimichurie is delicious. The scallops are tasty but bacon was soggy and needed to be crisped a little. The Gulf Snapper with lump crab is fantastic! Filet Mignon Ribeye was mouth watering. Everything is "a la carte" so you have to order any side dishes separately and are served "family style" to share. The scallop potatoes are a must. We had the lobster Mac and the green beans and they were great too. There is a bar for those that want to enjoy a more casual dinner and also a party room for private events. Definitely one of our favorite fine dining spots. read more

Everything had such great flavor. This was one for the books yall. Thank you read more

Killens Steakhouse has been on our bucket list for years. We're big steak lovers and had heard such incredible things about this fancy restaurant in "small town" Pearland. It's important to note that in our party of two, one of us uses a wheelchair. We arrived 5 mins late for our 5pm reservation. The bar was busy but the main dining area was still quiet. The three ladies at the hostess table welcomed us and told us our table in the main dining area was ready for us. I asked about the happy hour menu - and was told they only serve that in the bar are - I pointed out that none of the tables in the bar area are accessible, all were high tops or at the bar. We were relegated to a regular table off the bar, where no one else was being seated. Our waitress, Hannah, was kind and efficient. She helped us order items and were not disappointed with most of the choices we ordered. The wagyu beef skewers on the happy hour menu were amazing. The wedge salad did not look like it was a baby iceberg - but rather a regular sized iceberg lettuce. It was pretty but hard to eat. The French onion soup was under salted and had some burnt (not caramelized) onions. The cheese on top was not Gruyère (pretty sure it was Swiss) and added nothing to the depth of flavor to the soup. It didn't melt well or stretch when eating it. Highly disappointing. The main we ordered to share - 16oz wet aged ribeye that was perfect in every way. The Mac and cheese was meh and the Brussels sprouts were drenched in a vinegary dressing that was overdone. The French creame brûlée was delicious, but lacked that "snap" when you crack the top. The sugar wasn't thick or hard enough. Hannah was perfection as a waitress. On our way out, my partner needed help using the restroom - knowing that this was a newer restaurant in the area was surprised by the lack of accessibility in the bathrooms. There were not any single stall family restrooms, but even the accessible restroom in the men's room was tight. No turning radius and way too hard to help in. We exited the restroom, and headed to the large front doors. The three hostesses just standing there - watching me try to figure out if the doors pushed or pulled open with a wheelchair and a doggy bag. Our waitress saw me struggling and after delivering food to a table in the bar, ran over to help me. Overall, the food was alright. It didn't live up to the hype. I would like to see the restaurant mix in some regular seating so everyone has a place near the bar. The accessibility in the restaurant is an afterthought - at least that's what it felt like. The hostesses need to be retrained - they were all so young and oblivious - more of a problem of youth than mal intent. I'm not sure I would go again for dinner off the main menu, but the happy hour menu was good and I would go back to try the burger or shrimp sliders. read more

I've heard mixed reviews about this place, but I ended up visiting for a birthday party. My experience was quite decent, and the food was good. We ordered the Wagyu tomahawk, which I really enjoyed, but I wasn't as fond of the Australian Wagyu filet because it was a bit dry. Our server was very attentive and took the time to help us choose our meals. We sat close to the kitchen, which provided a cool view. read more

I love Killen's -- BBQ and Burgers so much. My husband and I decided to give their steakhouse a try. We ordered to go for our annual birthday dinner since we have a little baby at home. We love steak and seafood know high quality when we eat it, however Killens steakhouse really missed the mark. We ordered the bone marrow as an appetizer, a dry aged 16 oz rib eye medium rare, and the Alaskan King Crab truffle pasta. The only thing that tasted decent was the bone marrow and honestly, it was lacking in the amount. It was mostly bone and maybe 1/4 of it had marrow. It was mainly a bone on top of mashed potatoes. My husband's 16 oz. steak tasted like it was from Chili's or Applebees and was well done. My Alaskan King Crab must've been lacking truffle because it tasted like 3 day old noodles and was very dry. The truffle Mayo at Killen's Burger has 1000x way better taste than this. Also, when I showed up at 4:30 for my guaranteed order, it took them over 10 minutes to tell me that my order was still being prepared and wasn't ready yet. Overall, super disappointed in this experience and will stick to their BBQ and Burger place. read more

We ordered a variety to see how good it was. Steak was salty but also tough. Fish was just ok not great not bad. Mushrooms are average. Onion rings were amazing. Overall WAY OVERPRICED! For the price I don't expect a tough piece of meat. Honestly I've had better steaks from H-E-B. read more

Not worth the price .. DONT GO THERE..food is average and they do not enforce the dress code it ruins the ambiance

What happened? The last time I ate here it was as good or better than any steakhouse in the metropolitan area. This week the service was fine, but the food was prepared badly. Such a waste of a fine cut of beef. Two tips: be prepared to send your steak back, and do not order the potatoes au gratin. read more

Today (9/30/25) we went to celebrate my husband's birthday to Killen's Steakhouse in Pearland, Texas. It was our first time and will be our last. After reading the reviews, we were expecting to have a nice dinner. The waiter recommended lamb chops, it was the special of the day, I really like lamb chops, so I decided to try them. Worst decision ever. It was a $95 plate for lamb chops that were 95% fat. I really wanted to talk to the manager, but just because it was my husband's birthday and he is the type of person that doesn't like to complain I did not. I wanted to have a nice dinner for his birthday, but unfortunately, it did not happen. I don't think we're coming back again.Our bill was over $200 and I am furious. I deserve to get my $95 dlls back !!!! read more

I don't know how a steak house can cost you a kidney but somehow this one did . Yea this place ain't cheap at all . It's so ridiculously overpriced that you're better off going to long horn steak house . The food here is nothing mind blowing to be paying over a thousand dollars for . The staff here definitely aren't the friendly group of staff for a steak house also they don't have any time sense for your own time if you're in a rush . Overall just don't come here and save yourself the time and money . read more

On the inside this place is beautiful, beautiful layout, nice hues of blue. Came here for Mother's Day- surprised they were open. Ordered the snapper, Mac and cheese, and brussel sprouts. The Brussels were good and the snapper was alright. The sauce was pretty good and so was the lump crab on top. The mac and cheese was okay but I don't like the pooling of cheese. Also a fly hovered my table and for this to be a steakhouse at a certain price point that was concerning. Overall okay meal. I would try them again because maybe I went to close to the when they opened for the day. read more

Went to Killen's with our family to celebrate some birthdays. My grandchildren are picky eaters but they loved the food, as did the adults.

1st of all, the food was fantastic! Don't fall for the Waygu hype though! The wet aged ribeye was incredible! The service is horrible and the drinks & wine aren't good. Not what you would expect from Killen's, given all the attention they get. They may know how to run a barbecue joint, but they should leave the steakhouse to the big boys.... They need mixology and sommelier help! Overall score would be much lower if the food wasn't so darn tasty! read more

The ambiance was very nice so we were excited for the experience. Unfortunately, that's the highlight. I was recommended the seared duck breast by our server so I went with his suggestion. It was so raw, usually when you order duck or lamb, you're asked the temperature/ cook. This was cooked blue rare and didn't enjoy it. Our friends order the lobster bisque and it was super salty. They said it was a bouillabaisse base and it's flavor, but there's a difference between flavor and salt overkill. The dry age ribeye and crab cake were pretty good except the crab cake was me picking out shells every other bite. The add on lobster tail was mushy and not fresh. Our party was large and there were 2 servers. Both weren't really attentive and in the end when we tried to share with the one server that we were overcharged as some items didn't arrive, she didn't really listen and immediately asked her manager to be a part of the conversation looking bothered. That was extremely tacky and she took no accountability. We were visiting from NY and Canada and the service here was rough. Go to Taste of Texas instead! read more

Ok, decided to see what all the hype was about myself. So, I shimmied down to the local steakhouse. I have passed this place several times and never really gave it a thought, because it was a steakhouse house and most do not offer vegan menu or much when it comes to options. First thing to note is that they have complimentary valet parking. Second would be the outdoor seating option. Third is the wonderment of the aesthetics on the inside, the lighting, the seating the noise level. So, sophisticated, so fancy and yet comfortable. Now let's factor in the fourth note being the server, who was very pleasant and seemingly happy to perform tonight, making it that much more pleasant for me. I also notice and additional server as one gentleman walked around with several water glasses ensure the glass rims where constantly topped and he did it with a smile. Now let's get to the good part what did I eat? Of course this is a steakhouse and understood however, I look for options, because everyone I dine with may not be a vegan eater. Although, I am hoping somewhere down the line they do become a little more vegan conscious I start with a dish similar to breakfast potatoes in preparation which was escorted in with sautéed onions, or I could have gotten a baked potatoes. This was paired well with the charred Brussels with a small adjustment in the finishing touches. The food in no way lacked taste, in fact it was delicious and I demolished it, as if I were a human macerator, down to the last bite and last dispatch or remnant from my plate or fork. Although, I throughly enjoyed the dishes, I will continue the to see, if somewhere down the line, to see, if more suitable Vegan options appear or are presented. Until the next time, Bye-Bye! read more

Killens Steakhouse - The Spread of Brussels and potatoes. The asparagus was not mine. - Steakhouses Near Me - Pearland, Texas

Steak was amazing, sat at the bar, service was prompt and courteous. Little pricey but it's to be expected at an upscale steak house.

I took my Girlfriend here for her birthday. First, Their well bourbon was premium bourbon? AMAZING. The appetizers, Pork belly fell apart in my mouth. It was so deliciously tender and flavorful. I do not know how to compare the lobster Macaroni and Cheese, But it was silky and cheesy and smooth and amazing. The steak, I ordered Wet aged ribeye, My girlfriend ordered dry aged. I have never had a steak done to a perfect medium rare and hers to rare like this. Seasoned perfectly and they were kind enough to explain Wet aged vs Dry aged. It was a great experience. It was a tiny bit pricy but it was amazing. Always recommend a reservation though for better seating. read more
