I thought the portions were really good and the price was right too. The service was nice but unfortunately the brisket was not terrific but I did like their barbecue sauce that was served warm. I'll bet this place is good for catering events where barbecue is appropriate and appreciated. I'm thinking maybe I just caught them on an off night and I will try them again because they deserve a second chance.

First time coming here since we were in the area. At first I thought, oh no, no cars in the lot but…read morewe walked in and it was quiet. We sat down and were tended to immediately. Great choice, super friendly waitress, great, fast service. We ordered appetizers to start. Fried zucchini, armadillo eggs and boudin link. Everything was delicious, hot and quick to come to the table. The boudin link was just right spicy. The zucchini was delicious a little bit thin sliced but good. The chopped beef sandwich was great, lots of meat and super soft, great tasting bun. Bbq sauce on the side with pickles and onions. Huge sandwich. I definitely recommend this establishment and will be back soon.

First visit tonight and this is proper Texas Barbecue. We ordered a Brisket Sandwich with a side of…read moreMustard Potato Salad and a drink ($17.50) a Brisket plate with baked beans and macaroni and cheese ($18), and a Two Meat plate with brisket and sausage with sides of cream corn and fried okra ($21). We also tried the cornbread which was perfect, moist, slightly sweet and yummy. The brisket was pretty nice, you can order it moist or lean. The sausage was a nice consistency and nice taste. The cream corn was nicer than I remember cream corn, the okra was. Crisp and tasty, the macaroni and cheese was creamy with a subtle taste. I would prefer a stronger taste and a bit less creamy...but still good. The baked beans were pretty perfect. Great flavor and consistency. We interacted with three staff members and all were very nice, friendly and helpful. This is a recommended restaurant to visit.

I came in to Killen's Barbecue about three days ago with my partner. The restaurant itself was very…read moreclean and organized and despite the line, service was fast, efficient, and friendly. My partner had the brisket sandwich with potato salad and a small helping of pickles and pickled red onions and I had the pulled pork tacos. My partner said the brisket sandwich was okay, but we both agreed that the potato salad was fantastic! The potato salad was way better than the one at Pappas Barbecue. The taste of the pulled pork tacos was great, but it was honestly too wet and made the flour tortillas too soggy and there was way too much coleslaw on top. I feel like if Killen's is going to serve pulled pork tacos there needs to be three things done. 1. Serve the tacos with an option of corn tortillas because I feel corn tortillas would've worked better to give a great contrast/pairing with the sweetness of the pulled pork and sauce. 2. Serve the corn/flour tortillas on the side so that they don't get soggy and wet. 3. There are some things that just don't belong on a taco of any kind and that's coleslaw. My partner and I also tasted the banana pudding and to say it was divine is an understatement. What I really like about this pudding was that you could taste real bananas in this pudding and it had been mixed well all together. Our total was $80 after tipping, which is a little pricey for some of the items, but honestly I would definitely come back to Killen's Barbecue when I was in the mood for barbecue.

You know it is good when you can smell the wood burning from outside wafting in that tasty smell. I ordered the lean and it was moist and well cut.

Highly recommend giving this place a taste.

Many folks get orders to go, so it's not a fancy dining room, and has picnic-style tables. They put generous helpings on the platter, too. I had brisket, pork ribs, and jalapeno sausage and it was very good. I tend to like it a little smokier, but this was fine. Brisket was tender, ribs fell off of the bone, and sausage was sliced and crispy around the edges. Good sauces at the table as well. And, it's adjacent to a meat market and store. My wife noted that their ground beef was a better price than local big grocery stores. They also have a large frozen cooler with all sorts of goodies including Cajun. We are going back.

We dined in after the lunch crowd was gone. The food was mediocre. I got a brisket meal with potato salad and corn. My husband got a baked potato with chopped beef. The potato salad literally tasted like nothing, no flavor at all. The brisket was overcooked and dry. If I had not put barbecue sauce on it, it would have not been edible. The price was absolutely RIDICULOUS. Over $45 including tip, for 2 lunches and 2 drinks. The staff on the other hand were very friendly and the food came out quickly. I hate to say this but we will not be returning.

The restaurant is quite nice, and the staff was very attentive when we first walked in. Per usual the food was ready quickly (except for two things), and it was quite good, if not a little salty (except for the Mac and cheese, which was bland and cold). There was a few things missing from the condiment bar, it it wasn't a huge deal. The biggest issue however, was that the place was utterly disgusting for a while. There were many table that were messy, and the food on them looked like they hadn't been touched in a while. There was even a table that was flipped (not pictured). They tables we're only cleaned when more people started to walk in, and they were cleaned very slowly... Again, I love pappas, but this is unacceptable.

That's a big plus for me as if they are delayed and bringing out my food, I can sit comfortably and wait. That alone deserves a second chance and push my review really high for this place.

Food: Enticing to the eyes, fresh, and quality is top notch. I definitely recommend. You get more for your money the average cost per person dinner was 34. Service: Our first time here to the "mountain " and I must say we were met with smiles and courtesy by the manager/owner. Waitress who sat our party was friendly . Our waiter who was Derrick, was so knowledgeable on the menu and was prompt in checking in on us. He really made our experience one in which we will come back! Ambiance: How can you not love Pikachu. Enough said but the overhead star lighting on the ceiling combines with the sports like TV's, the bar area was nice to sit and eat. If you order from bar they will grill you proteins prior to bringing out. Guest Centerpoint table grill was clean also had spray oil, staff made rounds frequently to change out the centerpoint grill for a fresh one. I observed them cleaning a section after guest departed inwhich included a wiping down of the entire seats top and bottom and back ( wow impressive!!). It's not only a family oriented restaurant, but if you only want to go have drinks maybe watch the Game this is the SPOT to be. Final: I never ate Japanese food where it was brought raw (AI robot) and we were able to grill it. I must say Yama Kitchen where have you been all my life? I highly recommend and thank you to the two managers and Derrick for making our first visit a memorable one. Oh lastly we were given a sample of: Japanese Plum wine, it was delicious!

They do have a buffet station with a decent selection. They had mixed seafood (crawfish, muscles, and shrimp), a few soup options, lots of fried foods, and salads. They don't have a big variety of meat selections compared to other KBBQ spots. We did try most of the meats and they all tasted just about the same, it was nothing really special. The sashimi was okay, it came out a bit warmer than what I expected. Overall I would rate this place a 6.5/10. **Note: my brother did say the food here destroyed his stomach!
