    Menudo

    Food is always good and authentic. Menu has great options. The restaurant is clean. Service is good.

    Best trompo tacos I have ever eaten in my entire life. Amazing flavor. AMAZING. I don't lavish praise lightly, either. Zero complaints about the service. We were a large group there for the lunch rush, and our waitress was absolutely Taking Care of Business. Get yourself some of this.

    My husband and I were craving Mexican food and he mentioned this place! We need to going and let me just say I am a chips and salsa person and the ones they served us were amazing! The salsa was spicy and the chips tasted great! I got an horchata and it was delicious! I also ordered the fajita mixta plate with corn tortillas and it was great! I will say the meat is a bit chewy but other than that it was good! Will be coming back to try more menu items!

    This is there sign inside the building so u can't really see it from outside

    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.

    I just found out about this place and it is tucked away behind a Chevron gas station. I had to call…read morethe restaurant because I couldn't find it even while using my phone. When I walked in, the place was clean and the aroma of BBQ was smelling really good in the air. The decor was very nice and the owner was even nicer and very welcoming. I went in there only looking for ribs because I have found that a really good rib is hard to find, however, the ribs here were very tasty, a little pricey, but very good. I always say that I don't mind paying extra when the food is as good as the money spent for it. Now, let me tell you that I only purchased a pound of ribs and a quart of Mac and cheese and the M&C was also good. I believe that the young man helping behind the counter was the owner's son so that tells me that the business is family owned, can't go wrong with that. The other sides looked delicious as well but I was not really that hungry for other dishes. I will go back and try the other items on the menu at another time. Now that I know where it is, it will be easy peasy to get there again. Once again, I forgot to take a picture of the food but I will when I go back. Anyway, pull up on em at Luka's Barbecue & Steak and enjoy!

    I was very disappointed with the food during my recent visit. This place used to be really good,…read morewhich is why this experience was so surprising. I'm not sure if there are new owners or if something has changed, but the quality has definitely gone downhill. My husband and I ordered the ribs, and they were extremely hard and dry. They didn't taste fresh at all--it honestly seemed like they may have been from the day before. For something that should be tender and flavorful, this was a big letdown. When I brought this to their attention, the staff offered to bring more ribs, but I didn't feel comfortable accepting the same item again given the quality. I would have appreciated a different solution, such as offering an alternative dish or adjusting the bill. We ended up paying $42.54, which feels far too expensive for the quality of food we received. Overall, this experience was very disappointing, especially compared to how good this place used to be. I hope they can improve their food quality and consistency.

    Overall, this is pretty decent BBQ. Definitely good enough to get your fix. But not the best, drop…read moredead, run-over-people-in-the-streets good. Potato salad is a bit loose (not quite runny) with a nice mustard flavor (not overpowering). Coleslaw is very good (mayo dressing, but not too much - just enough to moisten the cabbage without being soupy - doesn't leave a puddle on the plate). The sliced brisket has good flavor, but needs a little more time in the pit for just a bit more tenderness. The ribs are great - perfectly tender (nice bite without falling off the bone) and a slightly sweet rub. Skip the sauce. The meat is good and doesn't need it. The sauce is sweet and smoky and will overpower the meat. Or - be weird like me and mix a little in your potato salad. It's good for that. Maybe get a few pickles, onions, or jalapeños from the condiment bar to eat with your brisket, but don't ruin it with the sauce. Just enjoy good, slightly smoky meat.
