    Did I get up at 7am to make the trip up to Spring for BBQ? Yes…read moreDid I get in line an hour before the opened? Also yes Was it worth it? Heck yes! 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!

    I'm sort of embarrassed to say this is my first time here as it has become a staple in the…read morearea...But hey, I made it and I'm glad I did! I was mentally prepared for a line lol. I've passed by several times and the line has always deterred me, but this time I came with my game face and the patience of a saint. I arrived on a Friday at 11:03am to be exact. Yep, they open at 11am and yep there was already a line. I was shortly approached by an employee who handed me a paper menu and asked if I would like to purchase a drink while I wait in line. It was fairly hot outside but they had fans along the patio to give relief. The inside of the restaurant is not large but also not small, its first come first serve so get in where you fit in or opt to sit outside. I arrived to the front of the line around 12pm so it took about an hour of waiting in line. Ordering was smooth and it took no time for the food to be ready. Staff were friendly, and service was speedy. I ordered brisket(moist), pulled pork sandwich, mac n cheese, potato salad, beans, apple cobbler, and a baked potato. The potato salad was a pleasant surprise! It is not your traditional potato salad, but If you enjoy anything dill flavored, you'd love it! The brisket was moist and flavorful, melt in your mouth good!!! The other sides were just okay, not bad but nothing stood out. The cobbler was a bit too sweet and it did not seem as though the ingredients were mixed very well. It was like they dumped sugar on top and baked it without mixing it. Pulled pork sandwich was meaty and flavorful. Pretty good BBQ Experience!!!

    Embodiment of what a Texas BBQ joint should be…read more We arrived before open and we're allowed to order and sit anyways. We were met with some of the kindest service I've received and even got complementary Lone Star's. All of the meat was amazing, especially the brisket and smoked turkey. I would highly recommend and will be returning. Quaint and obviously family owned atmosphere. Very welcoming, seating inside and out.

    I finally visited and found the ordering process to be very easy. I was able to walk right to the…read morecounter to order. There is indoor seating with restrooms but it was nice outside so I opted to check that area out. There is plenty of outdoor covered seating, with a tea dispenser and fixings off to the side. The ice is in a Texas-style, wood-paneled ice box. There is also a nice wide hand wash sink and paper towels in this same area. The moist brisket was a thick mixed slice consisting of both moist and lean, maybe the cashier didn't hear me. They serve Goodstock by Nolan Ryan, which is his premium line that's either Prime or Angus, so I'm not sure which they buy here, maybe Angus. The German style sausage is a little peppery, but with paprika or cayenne, not black pepper. It was ok. The item I liked the least. It's a fine-grained sausage and smooth and just tastes generic or store bought. The cajun potato salad was interesting and good..not great. They do give you a massive amount for a single serving. It's a tad spicy due to the cayenne. The banana pudding is very interesting and definitely homemade. It has a caramel swirl and broken chocolate pieces sprinkled on the top. This was my favorite part of the meal, but it's also very sweet. The owner let me know that they smoke the bananas and the sea salt which goes on top. The background music is good here...classic country so you definitely have that Texas vibe. Last of all, I didn't really like their iced tea here. Not sure what it is. The homemade bbq sauce is passable but goes well with their meats. Next time, I definitely need to try their homemade boudain, the ribs, and the Mac and cheese.

    The brisket was phenomenal, and the ribs can go toe to toe with the masters in the craft. The sides…read morewere just ridiculous, one of the only places I've eaten where every single side hit it out of the park. I also really wish they appreciated the attention to the dining experience more. Little things matter. paper towels at the tables, an easy-to-find tray return, and someone offering water for free or for sale. It will make for a much more enjoyable, its hot AF in houston from march through November and agua is a must. Dining experience aside definitely worth a stop if you're looking for top-tier BBQ in Houston.

    Visited Rosemeyer today about 1pm, no line. I ordered the Big Boy Box. I chose Brisket and Wings…read more It came with one slice of brisket and 3 wings, potato salad, Mac n cheese and two slices of bread. It is supposed to come with a sausage link but mine was missing! That was disappointing because I was going to order a link but the guy confirmed it came with a link. So I also got 1/2 pound of brisket. And I got an order of bread pudding. BRISKET was ok, not much flavor. I guess I assumed it would smell or taste like it was smoked. I didn't try the wings but it looked like it had flavor. 1/2 pound was 3 slices of brisket. POTATO SALAD was ok, it was like mashed potato salad or like a mousse. MAC N CHEESE was ok. It was shells and cheddar cheese, that's all I tasted. But the kid ate it, no comments. BREAD PUDDING was $5. And all you get is a condiment full. It was like a dough ball soaked in sauce and candied pecans. If you go, recommend ordering small portion to try. I ordered this about for dinner for 2 adults and a kid.

    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.
