Baked potatoe all the way.
Servando M.

I've been coming here about a good 20 years or so. I'd say overtime it has kept its quality of flavor and price. I always get me a loaded baked potato every time I come here. The front desk is something else, it's not that they work slow they act like they don't wanna be there. Besides that my experience was great. I will definitely come back again.

The service was good and the food averaged out to four stars. You get a lot of value here. I ordered the rib plate with onion rings and my plate showed up at the counter with about 5 ribs on it for $11.19, ribs were good and the onion rings were even better. My wife got the chicken fried steak with one vegetable and a salad for $8.80, the chicken fried was very good as well as the salad, she picked lima beans as her veggie and they were a little bitter. They have iced tea which was good, sweet and unsweet, Delaware punch was also an option they've been serving since the 60's. We'll be back to try more goodies, I enjoyed a piece of sweet potato pie for a reasonable price.

The food has changed over the years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My issue is the chairs; my husband sat in a chair and fell straight through the chair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No one helped or offered assistance. I will not be revisiting this place.

Has been a while since I came to have a bite to eat here But [[HIGHLIGHT]]as soon as I walked in was greeted and Place smelled like same old good food being prepared never disappointed[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Still have good cold Delaware Punch‼

I have nothing to say, my facial expression says it all.

I want to give them 1 star for dry old beef but my mom treated my meal. I'm guessing it was the owner who took our order and he tried his darndest, to get us to come back but ummm NOT. Beef and Bun has been there for over 40 years, I grew up in The Clark as we use to call it. I attended Madison High School so yeah, Beef and Bun was the chiiiiiznet back in the day. Times have changed and so have the quality of food/taste there, forgive the disrespect but loyalty isn't worth today's prices. The food tasted like 3 day left over 4th of July cooking, my left overs the next day I had to ask forgiveness when I trashed it. I'm going to stop here and here's 4 stars for loyalty.

DRY BAKED POTATO NO BUTTER AND NO HEAVY ON THE GOODIES 
 THANKS TO ALFREDO

if i could rate zero most definitely would. my baked potato was super dry and hard, no butter and i called spoke with mr alfredo and he says.oh well sorry. you can only get refund if you bring the potato so we can see it! been coming to beef and bun since 1975. since the older generation has passed it has gone all the way down!! rude management and aweful food.

Sliced beef sandwich.
Romero L.

Seriously I don't know how to write a review for this restaurant.Many memories had here pre Yelper days going back to College years.Great to see there are still up and running.Had the usual sliced brisket sandwich which doesn't dissapoint like other BBQ places lots of bread and a slice of meat.Truly believe in supporting local business.If in the area try Beef and Bun.

About to order me some ribs!

Baked potatoes are very good, worth a trip just to get one. The BBQ sandwiches are average.

I was told to get the brisket, so I had had that in my mind and was so unsure about how much to…read moreget. It wasn't going to be a full pound, that's for sure. But then I learned about the mac and cheese... And saw that there is an option to add brisket to it. Done deal. And getting a pint was the perfect amount because I was nice and full after. The way the place is laid out, you go in, hop in line, and then claim a table after paying. A science specifically says not to hold the table before paying because it's unfair... First time I have seen a sign like that, but I get it. Honestly I was expecting just a sprinkle of brisket on top of the mac, but it was a hefty amount, and WOW WOW was it good! I added both of the homemade sauces to my food so I could taste the differences. The kick was nice, but I really did love the sweeter one. The sausage was good too, but I wish I got the jalapeno cheese one. I had opted not to since I already had so much mac and cheese. As if the barbecue wasn't good enough, they had a bar with a really friendly bartender who is eager to give city recommendations. It was thursday, and they had tequila deals, including some very strong $6 margaritas. We only did one round, and that was all we needed. We were also able to watch the World Cup game there. It was a total vibe and I know I would go back whenever I visit again. Geez, what is the other BBQ like in the city?!

Best BBQ hands down in Houston! Be prepared to wait, but when it's your turn, you'll be glad you…read moredid. Fair warning, if you wait to long, they might be sold out. When we got there, they were already sold out of sausage. After we ordered, they ran out of ribs and brisket and half the line that was waiting left. It was really tasty. I chose the pulled pork sandwich and it was juicy and tender. A definite recommend for this place. If you are from our of town, take an Uber, there is little to no parking.

Did I get up at 7am to make the trip up to Spring for BBQ? Yes…read moreDid I get in line an hour before the opened? Also yes Was it worth it? Heck yes! A 2-year Michellin star BBQ joint was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My friends and I got there around 10am and were lucky enough to grab a number. The number secures your spot in line but don't worry if you show up and they run out, there's a spot on the porch where the non-number line starts. We ordered moist brisket, garlic sausage, and the beef rib. For sides, we went with mac and cheese and beans. Everything was superb! The brisket melted in your mouth, no knife needed. The sausage had a nice snap to it and get great flavor. The bark on the beef rib was *chef's kiss*. The mac and cheese was creamy while the beans had a nice sweet and tangy flavor. The service is also great! While we were eating, staff would regularly check all of the tables to check if anyone needed anything. The staff taking our order also chatted with us about other BBQ spots we've been to. Everything was such a great experience and the quality of the food is 100/10!

This place has a special place in my foodie heart! The interior being a historic convenience store…read moremakes it feel homey and very local. I got here often with my roommate and always have a great time mix and matching any 6 beers into a 6-pack deal. The fatty brisket and sausage is amazing. I love that they offer a variety of menu items now as well. Steak nights, wine nights, and brunch options show how much effort they put in. I wouldn't say the bbq is the best I've ever had in Houston .... BUT still deserves a 5 star review in my book.

Update: Veronica reached out to me willing to make this…read moreexperience right. Issues will come up from time to time but how you handle them says a lot about you as a business owner. I'm adjusting my review to reflect Veronica's willingness to turn this experience into an opportunity. We were looking forward to trying this restaurant while staying at a hotel in Houston for medical treatments. We had it delivered to our hotel and sadly it wasn't the best experience. When we got our order to the room we were missing one side that we ordered. We got Mac n cheese, green beans and potato salad with a brisket/smoked chicken combo and a brisket/ribs. I was shocked to see two pieces of brisket and a chicken breast for $28. Maybe it was an off night but the quality just wasn't there. All the food was cold (our fault bc we ordered it for delivery) and was lacking flavor. Overall, we'd rate it like this: Brisket 3/5 Chicken 2/5 Mac n cheese 1.5/5 Green beans 3/5 Ribs 3/5 Potato salad 2/5 Maybe they were having a bad night but I wish our experience was better.

Killen's never disappoints…read more Their beef ribs were just short of amazing. Juicy, succulent, tender. For a giant piece of meat on the bone, they worked wonders. You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

The food was ok, the Brisket Sandwich a bit dry for my taste…read more My Companion had the Pulled Pork Sandwich, she said it was good but didn't care for the Potato Salad. Service was good and quick serviced from steam tables. Employees friendly but quiet. Casual dining but a bit loud. The restaurant was clean. Lots of parking. But 54$ for two Sandwiches, one with 2 sides it a bit much.
