The best beef ribs in Houston. Nationally acclaimed brisket, melt-off-the-bone short ribs, and lines that start before opening.
Killen's is the Houston area's most acclaimed BBQ joint. Ronnie Killen's beef ribs are the stuff of legend — enormous, smoke-ringed, deeply flavored. The brisket is equally exceptional. Based in Pearland (25 minutes south of Downtown), it's well worth the drive. Arrive at 10:30am or expect a serious wait.
