Why 5 stars? Because the brisket sandwich could not have hit the spot more…read more --- --- --- I've had Smokin Z's bookmarked for a long time, but even though I go to Friendswood a lot to visit family, this is still just a bit too much of a hike from there. So when I was looking for a place to eat somewhere on our trip home from Galveston, I knew this might be my best chance. I'd originally planned on just ordering a simple brisket sandwich, but as I looked at the menu, I felt like I wanted one of everything. I was really tempted to order a loaded baked potato, but because I'd be eating it in the car, I figured that might be a bit too messy, so I eventually went with Plan A. One bite into that thing and I knew I made the right decision. It was so juicy and so flavorful. Just the perfect lunch for what I was craving. And then to make this love story even better, later that day, I went to HEB. My HEB happens to have one of those BBQ restaurants inside of it, and it's never open when I visit because I always do my grocery shopping in the morning. But this particular visit was at about 4pm. And I opted to order the exact same thing: a brisket sandwich, so that I could compare the two. I'm sure this is not news to Smokin Z's or their fans, but this was the most lopsided competition I've experienced in a while. My visit to HEB only made me appreciate Smokin Z's more, as the HEB version tasted like something made by my 11 year old nephew. I'm embarrassed I even put the two head to head, as we're talking about a totally different weight class here.

Our group of 7 ordered: Two lbs of brisket: 5/5 nice Smokey flavor, delicious! Beef ribs: 5/5 super tender fall off the bones. Excellent flavor. Collard greens: 5/5 tasty! Mac n cheese: 5/5 nice thick creamy cheesy! Excellent! Coleslaw: 5/5 very good Chicken wings fries: 3.5/5 this was ok Bread pudding: 5/5 amazing flavor! Loved it so much we ordered more at the hobby location! So happy that our last meal in Houston was amazing! On par with Terry Black's!

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.

The chili was amazing! The new recipe with the smoked ground beef really made a difference and set it apart from other chili. I decided to splurge and order the tenderloin medallions, and those are melt in your mouth tender and seasoned to perfection. The steak butter that comes with it is to die for. The portion was perfect for me. For my sides I ordered the famous mac n cheese and mashed potatoes with brown gravy and everything was perfect. We ended up getting three pieces of cake to go. The carrot cake, Italian cream, and chocolate were all delicious. This was our second time eating in and I just love the decor. I never get tired of looking around at the Knick knacks they have everywhere. Every person who has helped us has been absolutely delightful. I think we've found our go to BBQ place. It's locally owned and operated and you can tell they make the food from scratch. No corners are cut here and you can tell by how fantastic the food is. 15/10.

After devouring the 3 meats and sides of Mac n Cheese and Vaquero Beans, I could only say that the weakest item was the fountain drink!

This is one of those places that have BBQ as a condiment but it's not required... the meant is that tasty!!! The staff was beyond friendly and service was quick.

I had the three meat and two sides, the brisket was great, the turkey was superb, and the ribs were the cherry on top. My wife had a baked potato with ham, she really enjoyed it. My son had a rodeo burger and he love it. My daughter thought her chicken tenders were okay. They have a table up with all the fixings, pickles, onions, jalapenos, etc. I had a cold shiner bock with my meal. The food was a solid 8.5/10. The staff was 10/10 very friendly people. We sat down and my son was praying for our meal, the server bringing out the cook to order part of our meal waited for my son to finish praying before she approached our table as to not interrupt. This was extremely courteous and I can tell you it is not the norm. We are fairly new to the Fe (approaching 4 years), and I think we found a go-to spot for bbq. If you haven't tried it, don't sleep on it, get on in there and get your hands dirty with some bbq sauce.
