Killen’s

Babysitters, pardon this old cliche, but “I’ve died and gone to heaven” is all that I could think of. In this case, a slice of heaven was right here at Killen’s of The Heights Restaurant!! Today was my dear Mother’s X3rd birthday (she’s giving me the side eye thinking that I divulged her age and my crew of eight (consisting of friends and family rolled into Killen’s with thoughts of gluttony dancing in our famished heads. Although we made reservations, it wasn’t as busy and tumultuous as it can get on occasion. See, in the South, we love good southern cooking (kin folk, that’s just the inner loop folks way of saying “soul food” and we love to let everyone around us know how much we love it. Our server, Ashley (a-dor-a-ble! and I were helping my friends and family by recommending such Killen’s favorites as the seafood platter with that wonderful catfish and shrimp, mind blowing BBQ plate, and chicken fried steak so delicious it makes you want to slap yo’ Mama (just a southern saying, Babysitters! She’s giving me the side eye again . The proportions were generous, and the creamed corn was dy-na-mite! Oh, Lort! I felt like I had kicked the winning field goal by introducing my family to this Houston institution and made this a memorable birthday for my Mom. Thank you Killen’s! As usual, you were on point and you made my Mom feel like a million bucks on her special day. . Bon appetite, Ya’ll.

Omg .. This was the best tasting bbq and fried chicken so far .. The beans 100 The sausage 100 The Ribs 100 Mac and cheese 100 The bbq sauce 100 Service 100 Fried chicken did I say

The beef short ribs are phenomenal. Highly recommended. Plus is a huge portion! Goes great with their coffee bbq sauce.

I was slightly dissapointed. I ordered the sliced beef w/ grilled cheese sandwich. It was a bit hefty on price for one at about $25 a person for a sandwich and a side that I split with someone else. The sandwich was a bit heavy so it took time to settle.

The food was delicious but I was more impressed with the service. Devaughn was an absolutely wonderful server! He was incredibly attentive but not overbearing. I would love to give more than 5 stars for his service. Thank you Devaughn for a delightful experience!
