    I came here today on May 14th 2025 with my girlfriend after we were extremely disappointed in Luby's for not having the fried fish I ordered the brisket, the ribs and the sausage with mac & cheese, mashed potatoes and the Charles beans everything was spectacular. Delicious food great service incredible interior. I felt at home like I was in a laid-back Honky Tonk the music was great 10 out of 10 everything Hats off to management and to the owners Nothing more to say me and my girlfriend will definitely be back in the future Thank you, Harris County smokehouse for keeping it real . God Bless. -Santangelo Balli Gonzales

    We had a great breakfast at Harris County Smokehouse! I ordered the pork ribs and eggs with grits and swapped the bread for a pancake everything was yummy. The ribs were a little overcooked for my liking, but still flavorful, and that sausage... perfection! My partner had the mac and cheese, and it was so creamy and full of cheesy goodness. The pancakes were on point as always fluffy, buttery perfection. The bacon was crispy and flavorful, and of course, we can't forget the free rolls and cornbread always baked fresh and a nice touch. Always a solid spot for a hearty, down-home meal!

    A closer look at the left over "sliced" brisket, and store bought potato salad. (-_-)

    Never in my life have I received sliced brisket from a dining establishment that looks quite like this. The audacity to serve my husband this leftover disaster is simply unacceptable. While he may not be well-versed in the BBQ scene--being from another country--I'm certainly no stranger to BBQ, and I must say, this is very disappointing. Especially when you consider the high standards of Texas BBQ! Won't be returning.

    Ribs, brisket, Brussel sprouts, broccoli.

    $50 for brisket that is incredibly dry to the point I can't eat it, veggies that sat in the dry pan so long they were brown and no cornbread muffins. Plus, poor customer service. My husband got snapped at when he asked for half brisket and half sausage and the guy heard 1/2 pound sausage. When my husband corrected him, he got rude. $50 wasted.

The staff is incredibly friendly, offers free samples while you decide, and never makes you feel rushed despite how busy they are.

If you're debating whether the wait is worth it, trust me: it is.

    "Truthfully", this is probably my favorite barbecue spot in Houston…read more In general, it works like most barbecue joints -- you go through a line and order by the pound or get a plate, with the sides as you go through the cafateria style line. Their selection of meats and sides is really above average compared to a lot of places. Every side I've tried here I've actually liked. They use Martin's bread, and they'll give you your accoutrements like pickles, escabeche, and the like. If you like those, make sure you ask for extra up front -- there's no stand to go grab them later, so you've got to get them when you go through the line. Large seating area with many large tables and a full service bar. The seating does get a little filled up when they are busy. I suggest coming early and being in line before doors open. Brisket: 4.5/5 Sausage: 5/5 Turkey Brest: 5/5 Escabeche & picadillo sides:5/5 Barbecue sauce: 4.5/5 Tater tot casserole:5/5 Mac & cheese:4/5 It's pretty consistent -- out of all the times I've been, there was only once where I was a little let down by the brisket. But in general it's top notch, probably the best you're going to get in Houston. Would recommend and return.

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!

We went on a Saturday and showed up around 10:45, the line was definitely long and our wait was about 45 minutes. While waiting outside there is water and also employees coming around asking people if they wanted to purchase drinks. Once we made it inside, the gentleman who took our order was funny and kind. All of the employees were very friendly and helpful. My fiancée is a lover of BBQ so he wanted to order almost everything on the menu. We ordered brisket, garlic sausage, pork ribs, the whole chicken, baked beans, Mac and cheese, and apple cobbler. My favorites were the pork ribs and apple cobblers. His favorites were the ribs, brisket, cobbler, and baked beans. I loved the cobbler so much I placed an additional order to go.

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.

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.
