    Smoked turkey (1 meat plate comes with 2 sides), Collard Greens, Mac and cheese. $12.99. Topped it off with blueberry cobbler

    OMG! Tasty Tasty Tasty! My new spot...don't come to the grocery store hungry...coz this place will surely lure you in coz of that beautiful hickory smoke smell. Food and service here is downright done right...I'm a fan!

    Worst baked potato ever.

    My wife and I wanted some baked potatoes tonight. I went to True Texas BBQ and specifically asked for moist sliced brisket I asked about 3 times to make sure. I even went back to the cashier to ensure it would be moist. Well we got dry burned ends of the brisket. I paid extra for extra for 1/4 lb more moist meat and got more dry meat. I spent $33.40 and it was horrible. My wife couldn't even eat hers. Never again. Look at the picture. That's with sauce on it.

    So great we ate there twice in the same 10 hours, says so much about the quality of meat and the affordability of a plate!!

    We ordered door dash, the fatty brisket was delicious. Potato salad was good. The Mac and cheese was a little salty. Overall very good.

    First and foremost, the food was INCREDIBLE! The staff, as always is friendly, polite, quick…read moreservice and just awesome! I had the 2 meat plate with ribs and sausages and sides fried Okra and Mac and cheese. The rib meat fell off the bone, tender and moist. The fried okra....mmmmm. Always a great family and friendly atmosphere. The owners were at the table next to us. They are FUNNY and a testament to why this place is ​​​​​one of the most incredible places to eat. Keep up the great work!

    Stopped in at Vernon's Kuntry Bar-B-Que to pick up something for dinner. When I got there the two…read moreladies behind the counter were closing out their shift and asked me to wait. Pretty interesting place...a lot of memorabilia on the walls and the smell of BBQ was thick in the air. I finally got the ladies to recognize I was STILL there and waiting to order. Opted for the meat + two sides and selected the half-chicken with pinto beans and Mac & Cheese plus added a quarter pound of brisket. When I got home anticipation turned to disappointment when I sampled the meal. The best part of the meal was the Mac & Cheese, otherwise all I can say is thank goodness for BBQ sauce. The issues...smoked chicken was dry, the pinto beans just didn't taste good, and the brisket had zero flavor. So bottom line...I wasn't impressed and while it resembled "food" and was filling, it sure wasn't satisfying.

    I came in on a Sunday at 12:45 and they weren't busy. I ordered a 1/2 fatty brisket and .4 pound…read moreribs. They put it in a to go box, probably because they didn't think I'd finish it and they were right. Lol The brisket was excellent. Juicy, flavorful and I was surprised that the burnt bark parts weren't completely dried out. The ribs were tasty as well with a sweet, black pepper blend and they almost fell off the bone. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. The only slight complaint I have is that the music was a tinge loud but I was sitting in a corner. This wasn't enough for me to take their any of their 5 star rating away though!

    I am not sure what the hype is for Killen's Barbecue. From the exterior aesthetic to the interior…read moredecor, and the cleanliness of the establishment, I wanted this to be a positive experience. However, from the lackluster flavors, poor marbling of the beat, and lack of air conditioning in HOUSTON, I was left feeling quite disappointed. The main star of any Barbecue joint should be the meats that have been meticulously worked on for many hours. When the star of the show are the sides, you have a problem. The baked beans, mac and cheese, collared greens, and Brussels sprouts are delicious, as expected. The brisket was absolutely dried to the point where I couldn't tell if I was wiping my mouth with a napkin or the brisket. Yes, I ordered it fatty. The ribs were terribly marbled. If one bite was a dry portion of the rib, the other bite was an entire glob of fat. Perhaps that's how ribs are sometimes, but my experiences with many other Barbecue joints in Houston were not so much that. Take your hard-earned money and try some of the local mama/papa joints Houston has to offer.
