My second visit. I had a hot dog on a toasted bun which is pretty good. I tried the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich which was a little dry having no gravy added, a toasted bread. The fries and onion Rings were good. My sons Double meat cheese burger with bacon look large and sloppy. All were cooked to order. The Service was friendly and portions were large. Casual dining. I would love to see them ditch seed oil and cook with beef Tallow and all organic ingredients. To MAHA read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon , it wasn't too packed so there was plenty of seatings for large parties or groups. We proceeded to the register to order our food. It came out 10 minutes later. Food was hot, but quite greasy. Flavors for my chicken Philly was okay. They do give huge portions so possibly shareable. My daughter got the Philly cheesesteak and stated it wasn't great, she preferred mozzarella cheese but I think hers had cheddar instead. Burger was good, decent not out of this world. Overall this is good place to come with your family for quick food, with a variety of choices. read more

Great place to stop by to get that diner-feel, while satisfying your burger cravings. Had the juiciest cheeseburger and crispy fries here. It was busy even at 4pm, which should tell you how delicious their food is. No complaints here! read more

When the burger was amazing, it was juicy and juices were flowing out of every bite. The onion rings not too many folks can make these, they knew what they were doing. It was a very simple meal, hamburger, strawberry shake and onion rings.. It was just amazing and my cashier was right on very hospitable. When I come to Houston, I'll always stop here and get me a nice good burger. The old-fashioned way. read more

I love this local joint! The food comes out quick, and service is very friendly. Everything on the menu is done to the high standard of the Killen's name. We've had a lot from the menu and nothing ever comes short of quality food. Condiments are serve yourself along with kindly put away your own trays because we're all functioning adults. The restaurant itself is clean. There is plenty of parking, and the bathrooms are clean. We love supporting local, but specifically local businesses like Killen's Burgers who are always thinking of the community. During the storms, they've provided food for the community. Then they have been doing $1 cheese burger days to feed everyone who didn't get a chance to make it to the first day they did it. Overall, the owner and this place show heart to the business and not just a storefront. This place will always have a customer in me and my family! read more

Killen's Burgers - Deluxe Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Pearland, Texas

This place is a side on the road dive in burger place that is stuck in the 50s . This place is a place that you would find in a middle of a desert. Killen's Burgers? More like Killen's Patience. If disappointment were a burger, Killen's would be serving combo meals. The bun was soggier than my will to live after waiting 25 minutes for something that tasted like a middle school cafeteria experiment. The fries were limp, the "signature sauce" tasted suspiciously like ketchup with an identity crisis, and the staff acted like smiling might cost extra. The whole experience screamed, "We stopped trying when the line got long." Save yourself the heartbreak and go to literally any drive-thru -- your stomach (and sanity) will thank you. read more

Great burger plenty of Mayo and mustard . Nicely toasted bun and loved the hot Kringle fries . Will be back for that fried chicken read more

It's been 8 years since I've been back! I know because they still have my little girls picture on their Yelp page (thanks)! Ok.... Still a great burger. Better than the burger joints near me (shake shack, hotline, etc...)? Yes? Maybe? Worth the drive to Pearland from SW Houston? No. If I'm out here, Killen's Burger is a great stop. Cheese curds were underwhelming and they use peanut oil. I'm looking forward to trying the brisket burger or Kobe burger next time. Looking forward to the next visit. Probably in a month. read more

Driving by this place for months and finally had a chance to stop by and see what these guys have to offer. The ambiance is cool even with a decent amount of people the day we stopped by, and they bring your food out within reasonable time. Had to go with the double meat, double cheese "Killens Special" which seemed larger than I thought but it did the job that evening. Their fries are fresh, crispy and soft at the same time which is always a plus from any burger joint! I'll have to stop by again and check out something else...maybe those milk shakes I saw on the menu! read more

Killen's Burgers is a must visit stop in Pearland if you're in the mood for a solid burger! While the looks may seem like your old fashioned diner, their food takes a slightly modern spin by incorporating things like Wagyu, truffles, and bbq brisket. Coming for lunch on a Wednesday, it wasn't busy at all. Service was very fast as expected. We tried their mushroom swiss burger, killen's double cheeseburger, and their Wagyu burger w/ jalapenos and pepper jack cheese. We completed the meal with crinkle cut fries, sweet potato fries, and cheese curds. Their big burgers were tasty and very filling. I'd recommend getting a side of aioli to dip your fries in, it's super truffle'y. Overall, Killen's Burgers makes for a solid lunch spot. Their big, customizable burgers are sure to please. Just don't sleep on their milkshakes, cheese curds, and truffle aioli, enjoy! read more

Ordered fried chicken - they forgot my order as I watched two patrons served before me. Got home to find wrong order in the bag. Won't be going back. read more

Oily AF! Take a bite and be ready to have oil squeeze into your mouth. Yes the burger looks good but it didn't taste well. Fries are alright. Pretty sure I can make this at home with the help of some frozen fries from the grocery store. After a few bites, I was done with the burger. The oil taste was too much. Service was good. Place was clean. Good prices. I really was looking forward to liking this place, but this wasn't the case. read more

Great spot for a decent burger made the way you want. They have daily specials and today was $1.50 cheeseburgers so you bet we took advantage. Burgers had very fresh ingredients and seasoned just right. Fries were all cooked crisp with a good soft center. Order and pickup at the counter, and grab to go bags if you need them. Fountain drinks are pretty standard. I'd say the normal pricing is about average for a non fast food burger joint. Parking was no problem today but it does seem a bit tight. read more

Great food! nice atmosphere and really good service! I love the 50s diner theme!! also the special sauce is delicious

It wasn't a bad burger, but wasn't the best. A little bit too greasy and I like my fries to be a touch crispy. We got the cafeteria burger and it was a generous size. The place was clean and had a nice ambiance. The person who took our order was very helpful and welcoming. read more

The menu could be a little more understanding, and all the condiments should be included and I should only have the option to add or remove condiments. My burger wasn't how I thought it was going to be . The website needs to be improved read more

I love Killen's food but they really need to control those lovely people that come in and grab up tables before ordering. It's rude! There are people in line and standing around with their food and nowhere to sit!! Control your rude guests please. read more

I found a hair in my fries and let the worker know. She took them and threw them away without apologizing. When I received the replacement fries, they weren't seasoned at all. Overall, the situation wasn't handled well and was disappointing. read more

My husband and I went for dinner last night excited to try it for the first time - we are big fans of the other Killen restaurants, so we thought this would be great, too. Boy were we disappointed. Every open table in the dining room was grossly dirty. As near as we could see, no one was working the dining room at all. We asked if someone could clean a table for us and we got no response except for an eye roll. Very sad. Plus, while the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich my husband got was decent, the burger had no flavor at all. Just blah. $13.00 for a burger with a tiny servings of fries another $4.50 to add on? And then the fries were soggy? No thanks, we would have been better off going to Whataburger. We won't be back. read more

Kinda like a divey burger joint but well worth the trip. The bbq brisket burger is loaded with melt in your mouth brisket on a burger. I will definitely order this again. The onion rings are home made with just the right amount of home made breading. If you're in need of a delicious burger and onion rings, this is your go to. Definitely recommend this place. If I'm in the area, I will return read more

This place was recommend by a friend. She never disappoints. Burgers are made fresh and juicy. Fries are in large supply. Fountain drinks are bottomless. read more

Most delicious burgers. But also highly recommend the chicken tenders. Super fresh and crispy. Staff is incredibly sweet.

Saw the bad reviews but we decided to give it a try as it's so close to home. Totally average food, not worth the price at all. I cannot believe this is a place owned by the same owner as Killen's Bbq, which is delicious. Service was bad, they were not even nice taking the orders and the place was empty. Not coming back again. read more

Eh. It tasted okay. My burger was under seasoned, and the crinkle cut fries are frozen. I ordered the BBQ burger and it comes with an onion ring, but the onion ring still had the papery outer layer. That's lazy. There are a HUNDRED other burger places I'd visit before spending another $22 here. I also watched the cleaning lady wipe tables down, pick trash up off the floor, touch the garbage cans then brew tea with the same gloves on. Corny interior. I honestly expected A LOT more from Killen's brand. read more

I love Killens BBQ, so when I was in Houston I had to make sure to try Killens Burger. The burger itself was good. Not the best or anything that stood out. So I was a bit disappointed. Then I had the banana milkshake and that changed everything! It was so freaking good. The place was really clean and the lady that took our order was patient and nice. I would definitely come back for a shake and onion rings though. read more

Best burgers I've had in a long time! I'll never look twice at a McDonald's again!!!!

The burgers are still good but I like a good beer with my burger. My wife likes Michelob Ultra and I like Shiner Bock or Crawford Bock. It was never an issue until the last couple months. So water it was to was down a burger. From now on I will be going back to my original burger favorite, STOMPS! Good burgers and good beer, it's even on tap. read more

I love their chicken baskets and burgers. Honestly, best fried chicken I've had in years. Would highly recommend.

Cool old 50's style burger and shake place. Similar to a 5 guys setup. You order at the counter and call your name when it's ready. Nice people were working there. Cool JJ Watt sign and signature on the wall. I ordered brisket fries. They were decent but I could them better on my own at home. The burgers looked pretty good though! read more

Killen's Burgers - JJ Watt signature on the wall - Burgers Near Me - Pearland, Texas

Cheeseburger, onion rings, and strawberry shake for $25? Yes, the burger was great. The onion rings were limp and soggy--horrible. And the strawberry shake was ridiculous (what is that, strawberry jam in there?). Couldn't finish the sides they were so bad. So even with the good burger, definitely not worth the $25 price tag (BEFORE they asked for a tip). That's another thing. Who am I tipping exactly? I ordered at the counter, picked up from the counter, and bussed my own tray. Anyway, not a good experience. read more

Cute self serve restaurant, 50s vibe, clean. The burgers are very good. I personally think the buns are too greasy. For most people the small burger basket for $10.50 is a large enough portion size. Regular burgers are HUGE! read more

My husband and I visited today because I was craving burgers like crazy and found out Killen's has a burger joint! He got the brisket bbq burger with cheese (pictured) and I got the truffle burger with aioli. I love Killen's brisket and my husband kindly shared the plentiful amount of brisket with me and dang, probably the best burger I have ever had (which says a lot because my mom makes a mean burger). We also tried the cheese curds which isn't squeaky fresh like Wisconsin so ding on that. The great thing is that they have their famously good sweet tea and lemon! This decor of this place reminds me of now defunct Johnny Rockets so it has a great vibe. Service was great and quick, we will definitely be back! read more

My boyfriend and i decided to have a 50s type date night dinner so we came here dressed in Grease fashion. Not many 50s diners left around so was happy this was here not to far from our house. The food was great for diner food, aside from the fries that were not as hot as i would have like but the milkshakes were on point. Would go again. read more

First visit review and tings. I happened to be out in Pearland one Friday evening and have decided to try Killen's burger. I was skeptical based on varied reviews but as a Yelper I wanted to give this burger joint a try. Let me say in my opinion they have one of the best burgers in Houston that I've tasted in a long time! I absolutely loved the nostalgia of this place. Like old school diner small town feels. For food I ordered the regular cheeseburger, Nashville hot chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and onion rings. I went back to ask the staff if they could prepare my burger medium as they normally are cooked medium-well and it prepared perfectly. My burger was huge, tasty and juicy; and can't believe the price $8.00. I appreciated the fresh condiments; homemade pickles and red onions with they're homemade burger sauce. The homemade onions is a must try crispy batter and flavorful. Now as for hot chicken sandwich, it's was hot and flavorful, battered well and crispy. Also, sweet potato fries were good. The service was also great! I will definitely come back next time I'm out that way. For newbies and burger enthusiasts give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I went there on a Sunday. They charged $.50 to change the cheese on my hamburger from American cheese to Swiss cheese. I ordered the hamburger with grilled onions and grilled mushrooms. They did not change the cheese and did not put on the grilled onions and the grilled mushrooms. I asked the cashier to refund me the charge for the swiss cheese. He did not know how to do that. I asked to speak to the manager. He said on Sunday the manager is off and there is no manager on duty. unbelievable! Doesn't sound like the family is still running their restaurants anymore. read more

First time eating at this place. Working in area and was looking for something to eat. Really good homestyle hamburger.

These are really fresh burgers, unfortunately not well seasoned and it felt like they only added salt here and there. The Killen's double cheeseburger was very well-cooked and fresh, it just lacked some flavor and flare. Decent burger and crinkle fries. The 44 hot dog was tasty. Parking on either side of the building and nice diner style seating inside. read more
