My aversion to airport fare is due to a number of reasons that include: service issues, overpriced…read morefood, and generally a lack of quality. BBQ prices are already ridiculous, but muted expectations aside, I found the airport version of Killen's to be surprisingly good. In fact, it's good enough to be considered as one of the better food options at Hobby. There is no seating and the line will vary from insanely long to none at all. Price ranges for sandwiches are from $16.10-18.40, sides are $6.75-$18.25 depending on size, baked potatoes are $10.35 + $7 choice of protein and meat plates are exactly $24. No matter what anyone orders, the meal will be pricey. I'm told the meats are smoked in Pearland and rushed to this location several times a day. The slicing of the meats aren't particularly impressive, but I have to say the sides look extremely appetizing. There is an on-screen display for orders, which feels like a bit of a factory, but at least the wait is not too serious. Service is good for keeping the crowd moving and they're good about assembling meals fairly quickly. All sandwiches come with pickles and onions, and my recent chopped beef was disappointing, given the blandness and the small'ish portion considering the price. On the other hand, my sliced brisket baked potato was truly loaded with copious amounts of butter, cheese, sour cream, and bacon. The box was caked in grease, but the portion was far more substantial. Visually the meat plate was subpar at best, but the turkey was on point. Even my creamed corn had a nice kick and the mac 'n' cheese was deceivingly tasty. If I'm ever motivated to spend $10 on dessert, I may just shoot for their tres leches bread pudding.

It was really good and it lived up to the hype that I used to hear years ago!

It was surgical, planned and executed to a standard above excellent. This precision and attention to detail was to a standard above excellent. It was the type of sandwich that would make Patrick Bateman sweat upon inspection. Enough about proportions, lets talk volume. I felt as a young medieval price would - if i asked for turkey, I got a turkey. If I asked for cheese, I got a wheel. Nothing held back, nothing left on the table. My chef gave me the effort of a walk on getting a shot in the championship game - all heart! I got everything he had. For the 6 minutes I was in that establishment I was his everything and he was mine. I know that I am leaving this restaurant a better man than when I arrived. the lessons I learned about work ethic, customer service, and most of all - Love. Love conquers all and I felt loved through this food, this art, this club sub. it was felt in a way that hasn't been felt in years. It was true and real and it was mine. Jersey Mike's gave that to me and I hope everyone can learn something from it. Thanks for taking the time to read my little note! I hope you are blessed enough to be in the greater Houston area and get to experience this location for yourself. Thank you Mike.

This place popped up on my map and it's so close to the airport. The portions looked huge so we got the Child's Plate instead that came with 2 sides and choice of meat and drink. This must be a very good place because it filled up quickly with locals at lunchtime. It's located right off Airport Blvd in a "dodgy" looking strip mall. Had doubts when we saw someone sleeping on the sidewalk nearby. But don't let it deter you, go in for some tasty BBQ and "rustic" ambiance.

If you're flying out of Hobby and want a spot that actually feels like a place to hang (not just…read moresurvive), The Rustic Houston Hobby is such a solid find. The bar space is perfect for getting work done, grabbing a drink, or just easing into travel mode. Comfortable seating, plenty of outlets (huge win), and an overall vibe that feels more like a real restaurant than an airport stop. Music was also on point! Food-wise, it definitely exceeded expectations for airport dining. I ordered the spicy salmon Caesar and fries. The Caesar dressing was the standout-super flavorful with just the right kick. That said, I actually think it might be better with chicken instead of salmon. The fries had a great consistency and texture crispy outside, soft inside, but weren't anything super memorable. Service was great, which always makes a difference when you're traveling. Friendly, attentive, and efficient without feeling rushed. Overall, a really great pre-flight spot that I'd happily return to-especially for the vibe, a drink, and that Caesar dressing.
