Killen's Steakhouse

Food was decent but service was horrible. The Korean BBQ skewers were yummy as well as the lamb chops. Friends filet was definitely not medium as was well done but finding staff was tough. He didn't want to wait for a other one so just ate it. The lobster Mac n cheese is a must try. The service was the biggest disappointment especially considering there were only about 4 other tables occupied in the whole place. Water glasses ran empty. Wine wasn't poured when low. Our entrees came out but we had no silverware so had to flag down another server to get it. Seemed as if they were all just hiding in the back of bar. Very poor service for the price point.

I met a friend here for Happy Hour. The food, drinks and service were excellent and I like the set up of the restaurant better than others. Their drink menu is also more thoughtful than others. I selected the Sazerac, which was intriguing with the Absinthe, and it was on point. The bar is in the center of the restaurant and it’s very open instead of it being small and closed off like other places. It’s a very classy place and I am planning to return.

We stopped in for Happy Hour this evening. Everything we had was tasty and fresh. Our service was excellent at the bar. The photos are Pork Belly Burnt Ends, Truffled Artichoke Dip, Wagyu Skewers and the Tres Leches Coconut Cake. The drink in the photo is the Zarinity Now, which is highly recommended. We were told that the Saturday Happy Hour will end this month.

The atmosphere was quiet and cozy. More intimate, I would say, but very nice. The service was great, and the food was delicious. For appetizers, the Rockefeller oysters were delicious, and the crisp pork belly on top literally added that extra flavor. The pecan smoked pork belly was very tender and had a hint of spice with a nice glaze. For the main meal, I had the chicken fried steak entree which came with mashed potatoes and green beans. So delicious! We also had a side of lobster Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts with bacon. The mac n cheese was definitely cheesy but really good flavoring. The Brussel sprouts were a bit too hard for my liking, but still good. Overall, I would 10/10 recommend this place.

We ate here for our anniversary and it was nice. I ordered the 8oz Filet Mignon, Grilled Asparagus and Lobster Mac-N-Cheese. The asparagus and Mac-n-cheese was soooo good! Drinks: The St. Rita and the Ca Ed Balos Moscato d’Asti was to die for🍹🍾 Appetizers: We got the wedge salad and the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake and both were a 10/10! Entrees: I ordered my steak medium well but it was actually very well done and very dry. It was overcooked on the outside as well… it was black and hard. When I took the picture, a filter didn’t even lighten it up😂 My husband ordered the Salmon Almondine and he said that it was a little hard in the outside but otherwise good. The manager also surprised us by bringing some Korean BBQ Wagyu Skewers to the table in the house and they were delicious! Service: David was our server and he was wonderful from beginning to the end! Value: Our ticket ended up being appx $350.00 which was good when we compare it to Trulucks, Eddie V’s, Flemings, etc.

went for Thursday happy hour. great service. my waiter as well as 2 others who walked by and checked on me. i got the buffalo thai shrimp and burger. both were delicious. apple tart was a nice presentation.

Our experience here was fantastic. Being with the bartender who made a great old fashion and a French Martini. The pork belly appetizer was top tier, maybe the best we've had before. My steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our waiter was knowledge, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, that was their last day of business. We will be driving to the Pearland location from here on out

Went on a quiet Monday night, very chill. Had the Osters Rockefeller and the Korean BBQ Wagyu Skewers for appetizers. Both incredible, but the skewers especially were so tender and flavorful. Split a Wagyu flight for main. They split the filets for us so we had our own plates, very cute. The meat was divine. The US Wagyu was good. The Texan and Australian were better; Texan had better flavor but Aussie had better texture. But the Japanese was the star of the show. Got a mix of desserts, all four were perfect so get whatever appeals. Staff was super friendly and professional; made us feel very welcome. I will definitely come again next time I want a high end steak experience.

Top experience for dining - All factors are top notch! From the fine valets to greeters to wait staff- all are beyond anything ordinary!! Step in the doors of Killen's and expect to be pampered. The knowledgeable staff will direct you and educate you about wines and beers if you are just relaxing or in a huge rush. They are all amazing and graciously cater to your every whim! We were in the mood for quick chicken fried steak on a bed of fabulous mashed potatoes and fresh green beans, along with lobster macaroni and cheese! Superb! Our waiter even let us know a few minutes before we needed to leave for another party!! If you dine here, you will return soon. You will never leave disappointed, but once again pleased with the experience.

Great place! Forgive me for not having pictures this year, but I had a phone issue and I lost the review that I was doing. We were here on a Monday when they have extended happy hour, and the drinks were delicious! I recommend you try the bourbon and abs drinks that was pretty amazing. All of the appetizers were very good also.

The food was fantastic, the service was wonderful and prompt. We had a great meal and we will return again. We rolled out the door well fed and content.

My husband's company always has their Christmas party here, which is definitely a sweet little perk. It's nice to have a reason to dress up occasionally and go out of our normal dining out destinations. Service is always top notch and the food is especially well prepared, especially considering they have to get so much out in such a timely manner. What I really appreciate is the fact that even though this is a large company party, we are still offered a very nice selection for each course of the meal. Tonight I am choosing the snapper and I can't wait. My husband is going with his usual steak, ribeye, and I know they are going to cringe when he orders it well done. SMH. Of course an open drink tab does hurt anything. I forgot about the appetizers, crab cakes, (real crab of course,) Wagyu beef skewers and then the one that everyone loves, the pork belly. This year we sat in a location that wasn't right next to someone else so we didn't have to share. Wow, that sounds petty huh, ? , but you haven't had this pork belly. The snapper was incredible, topped with sweet crab meat and served with buttery lemon sauce, perfect. Perfectly crisp brussel sprouts that I couldn't finish but had to take home, no way are those going to waste. Everything was delicious and then they brought out the dessert. The carrot cake , which I remember to be off the hook last year, was good, but the bread pudding was even better. It's inspired me to try to make some at home, just as decadent. Overall a topnotch experience

The food was so good! Everything I had was perfect and cooked to perfection! I had a NY Strip..Brussels sprouts..and mashed potatoes!! Soooo good!! It was so worth it! Our waiter was amazing too! It would have been nice to be a little more kid friendly. Also the menu shows burgers are available (my teen wanted one) and the only option was for kids. Yes I know who goes to a steakhouse for a burger??..but its on the menu as an adult option..at least online. But I will for sure be back!!

Skip this Steakhouse, too many better ones in The Woodlands sadly. It's a good location and nicely done one inside. Terribly understaffed to begin with. Service was very underwhelming. All drinks and food came out disjointed. Timing was off on everything othered. Food runner put things down in front of wrong people. Waiter not around to fix it. Steak flight was a disappointment. They set it down on table. Then 6 minutes later someone finally came back and gave us plates! 1 steak was cooked as we ordered, 2 were slightly overcooked, 1 was way overcooked. All were cool to cold by the time I ate. The Au Gratin were nothing special light on cheese and richness of flavor. No bread for table. Sorry, truck didn't come. Ridiculous. Cream Spinach was okay. Not much flavor. French Onion soup and Carrots Cake was good. Cake served 15 minutes after coffee. I so wanted to love this place because I love their BBQ restaurant. Steakhouse is in desperate need of a Chef. Food seems as if things are being run by a cook.

My 2nd time at Killen's, and it was awesome! The food was excellent on both occasions. This time we came to the happy hour, which offered a good selection of food at very decent prices. I had the Killen's burger, which was seasoned to perfection. The fries were perfectly crispy and golden. My wife had the fried shrimp po boy sliders, which were also seasoned well. As always, servers and valet were very friendly, and the ambiance I would describe as mature and classy, but not stuffy.

Went here for Valentine's Day. This is a type of restaurant that you should expect to make a reservation and make sure you have your phone with you in case there might be a mix up. This is our first time at the Woodlands location have been to the one in Pearland several times to meet with friends. It was a beautiful restaurant loved the valet service. We were sat quickly even though we are a few minutes late, in which I had called ahead to let them know, the person who answered was very polite Our waiter was attentive to us and definitely made the experience here really wonderful. Every server was on it with making sure water, tea and sodas were never empty. Each item that we had picked on the Valentine menu was delicious this menu had lobster bisque and it's not a regular item but it should be. I apologize for not taking more photos I was spending time with my husband. I failed to mention the manager was hands on as well. He came by our table and I feel like I saw him going to each other table wishing each customer a Happy Valentine's Day and helped his staff since they seemed super busy. Definitely look forward to going back one day.

Our first time at Killen's and it was a great experience. The food and service were excellent. The ambiance was what one would expect for an upscale steakhouse. We will return.

My husband surprised me with dinner at Killen's Steakhouse to start off my birthday weekend. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were phenomenal. I enjoyed the birthday wishes and holiday greetings from the valet, the hostesses, and all of the wait staff. The birthday card and gift card presented by our server from Killen's was a really nice touch. Starting off dinner, the pork belly appetizer was absolutely melt in your mouth delicious! Next up were the entrees... The dry aged ribeye was cooked perfectly. The crust on the steak was just right and it was juicy and flavorful. The red snapper topped with crabmeat was seasoned well and was light but surprisingly filling. As a side dish, the Alaskan crab risotto was ok but there were several pieces of shell in it. In contrast, the skillet potatoes topped with fried egg were perfect. To top it all off, the carrot cake and ice cream literally had me stuffed. I highly recommend Killen's for date night or any special occasion. We loved it so much, we already have dinner reservations to come back.

I was staying at the hotel across the street so I thought I'd walk over and get some dinner here. Note: there is no obvious way to walk here from the Hyatt, so I had to run across 6 lanes of traffic and a median at rush hour. A risk, but I was very brave. (This has little to do with my rating, but thought it would be useful info for anyone staying nearby) Anyway, I walked in at 5PM on a Monday- the sign on the front says they open at 5, but their happy hour starts at 4? Not sure how that works. The bartender was very nice and helped me immediately. I got a Zarinity Now, which was refreshing and very fairly priced for happy hour ($8). I was wowed by the Ramen Deviled Eggs, though they were pretty salty for my taste. Then I got the Ahi Tuna Tacos. The bartender said "they're small, but I like them. They're really good." Y'all, I have never seen tacos this small in my life. It was honestly a treat, because I started laughing and immediately had to tell my friends about this. I included my hand for reference, and I am a petite person. The meme material I got with my pictures of these tacos is going to be gold. Flavor was good, though! In all seriousness, I would rather this line item on the menu be priced higher + a larger portion than how to is set currently ($15 for these 3 tacos).

Came here for happy hour on a Friday night. It was slow, and there was plenty of staff, but they spent more time talking to themselves than serving the few customers who were there. There are plenty of high end happy hour alternatives in the area and they need to step it up if they want to compete.

Overall it was good, the only downside was the wait time and the prices. BUT IN THE END IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT,and I'm planning to comeback maybe soon!

This is overpriced madness at it's best. Ok I'm going to start with the good: Creamed spinach: Amazing, thick, creamy, you can taste the cheeses piping hot, ok portion for 2 people to have some $12 Creamed corn: Out of this world, sweet, creamy, thick, so comforting, enough for 2 to share $11-12 can't remember. The disappointments: Snapper with lump crab - FAIL, everyone knows I'm beyond a seafood lover, beyond, I know my seafood, from a little girl to now, I am basically all about ANYTHING in the sea. So HOW you mess up snapper & crab, two of the most tantalizing items in the sea? This overly bland dish is a nightmare for all crabs everywhere. No salt, no pazazz, no garlic, no butter, no flavor that's what I'm telling you. The fish was no where near flaky, I describe it as thick and mushy. Smh I don't know I'm frustrated trying to figure out how this dish was accomplished? A mess!! For $40. The steak $68 (for steak only). Well cooked, however nothing over the top for $68. I could bbq this at home for $18 just saying. Seriously I don't mind spending $200 on dinner ever but please offer the food for the price your asking for. I would return for the sizes and to maybe try other sides but that's about it. For me to pass on crab is unheard of! Literally, until now.

Writing this review took some time and consideration, I have to award only 4 stars unfortunately. I have been wanting to dine at Killen's for quite some time now, I got the opportunity the other day so here's my two cents. The food was delicious don't get me wrong, I would come back here for the lobster Mac and cheese alone (best mac I've ever had) and The Rosewood ribeye is one of the most tender steaks I've had, I then ordered the crème brûlée bread pudding and to be honest I'd give it about a 6 out of 10, the homemade ice cream however I'd give a 9 out of 10. I found the service to be a bit slow for the amount of people who were in the restaurant and for a restaurant of this caliber so that was somewhat disappointing. As it pertains to ambiance, it had a very good atmosphere but I noticed some of the more advanced in age customers needing to use a flashlight to look at their menus so maybe don't dim the lights too much. So in conclusion, I know yelp uses a star rating but on a scale of 1-10 I'd give Killen's an 8. Train up the wait staff a bit more, maybe take the bread pudding out and replace it with something similar, and I think they'll have earned a 5 star 10/10 from me.

My boyfriend took me out to Killen's for Valentine's Day. Decorations were beautiful in there and super busy. However we made reservations and had to wait 20 mins to be seated, Got seated at 8:55 PM. Once we were seated our server Julia helped us and was very amazing! What started going downhill for us was the timing, we waited over 35 minutes just for an appetizer ( Salad & Soup). Then another 45min to an hour for our Entree. Overall we were there longer than expected. (2Hrs and 45 Mins) Appetizer, entree & dessert were delicious! However if you like steak sauce with your steak, be prepared to not have it here. They don't serve it.

Service was amazing. Food was great except for the crab cake was full of shell. The taste was good but it was hard to eat. If you have anyone with food allergies, it is a little hard to have them accommodated, as we found that to be an issue. I would not rave about this place, but I did like the atmosphere and loved the cosmos!

My husband and I went for our anniversary and we were not very satisfied. The food was just ok... the steak was not worth $80 and the sides and dessert were nothing special. I wish I could give a better review but for the money we paid ($350), it was just not good. Our server was great, the location and restaurant were beautiful, but I could never recommend based on the food.

Love it here! There is never anything less than great here. Pork belly burnt ends, ribs, and brisket all delicious. Great sides? Yes, all are awesome. Creamed corn, macaroni and cheese, and the desserts are top notch. Service is friendly and efficient. Try the specials, they are always good.

I will give any place for stars are more when the food is impeccable! I came in at 7:30 on a Monday night instead of the bar by myself. The food was very good! The French onion soup was perfect. I don't suggest getting it by yourself unless it's going to be your dinner along with a salad because it's huge and very filling. The baked potato was enormous and could have fed three people. I just take kebabs were very tasty. The restaurant is gorgeous and the bathrooms are very clean. The problem was the service. I was greeted initially with a glass of water, but then he disappeared for quite some minutes. I finally got a drink ordered. I need to buy food order and I seat waiting for another drink. He seem more interested in the baseball game then waiting on me. But overall, my experience was very positive and the food was very good.

His is a hard one to rate . 2.5 would be right I think . This is not high end dining but the proteins of the meal are cooked to perfection . I will explain . I have been to hundreds if not a thousand steak houses in my life all over the world. Here are my takes on this place . I had a reservation on 10/14/23 for my wife's birthday. First observation is that the hostess and seating employees are of high school age and wear pretty much whatever . Brown casual dress , jeans etc which do not give you the impression of formal dining . Great for a bbq joint but not high end dining . Next our table was a corner booth but I am guessing because of the shape , it did not have a table cloth on it . Again more bbq joint . Our waiter who I do not know his name was perfectly nice but no interaction or engagement . The only question he asked was any questions about the menu? No specials no recommendations or nothing to get you excited about the experience . The appetizer section was good but heavy , I will explain . The croquet madame with short rib slice was an excellent bite but the presentation looked like a square greasy white bread ham and cheese . If this were made more into a trimmed small bite of goodness it would be elegant . Instead you get a super tasty entire sandwich of meat fat . The next appetizer was the Thai curry oysters . These were good but more appropriate for a beer and oysters joint . It tastes good but you can't taste an oyster in there what so ever . It feels like a oyster dipped in crumbs with crystal hot sauce splashed on it . The vinegar over powers any chance of tasting an oyster or curry. Entrees: usually my wife likes to have a martini first and then wine with dinner . The waiter or anyone else never presented a wine list or maybe they don't have one, I don't know . By the time the waiter came around we had already been served by another high school person who had no idea of who ordered what . Drop it off and you can trade plates and serve yourself the sides . No waiter , no wine , not shit . Perfect for a bbq joint but damn not fine dining . My wife ordered the 4oz Japanese Wagyu filet . It was seared perfectly and done to perfection . I had the wet aged filet with a lobster , crab topper . The hollandaise sauce was broken and tasted more mayo ish than hollandaise . Again cooked to perfection medium rare cool center but the topper sauce was overpowering . I did not finish the steak but no worries no waiter is going to ask you if you liked it. That is what is frustrating about this place . The proteins are cooked to perfection but it feels like Denny's atmosphere and service, not bad , just not fine dining . Sides were great nothing unusual , potatoes , veg etc done fine but not note worthy by any means. In conclusion, I don't know if I would go back , the proteins were perfect, the rest was not . The waiter could have doubled the bill if he had been attentive or present or trained. At the end of the day if you have clients or a person you want to impress , I would book a place that does not feel like a bbq joint . Tris , Perry's , Flemings, Amrina all blow this out of the water on service and ambiance . If you are looking at spending couple of hundred dollars per person you have to have the full experience and not amateur servers and staff . I would not bring clients here unless you want casual dining and don't want to wear a jacket etc.

Omg whata whata wonderful experience! Best food ever! Everything we order was fabulous! We will definitely go back

LOVED THE FOOD!! We had the rudest waiter!! He treated us terrible, raised his voice at us. HIS NAME IS KEVIN!! A great restaurant with a mean waiter, too bad!!

This is probably one of the most controversial reviews I have given a restaurant. If you've read any of my reviews, you will know I'm honest and fair. So...I hope that is reflected here. The food was delicious... and that's all. Literally... that's all. We decided to try this place for my better halfs birthday. Neither one of us has eaten at the Killen's Steakhouses, so I thought it would be nice for his birthday. When we arrived, we loved the feel of the ambiance. We were seated in a booth on the right side of the restaurant. When we opened up the menu and saw the prices of the steaks, we both almost had a heart attack!!! We ordered the miso deviled eggs, which were delicious. After a martini, we both ordered the filet ($55 each) and shared 2 sides (creamed spinach and augratin potatoes $15 each). All very good. We had a bottle of wine ($110), and we had to order his birthday dessert ($14). For a grand total of $420.44 with tip!! OUCH!! The table that was sat next to us was loud and overbearing of our conversation. No singing of Happy Birthday and no complimentary birthday dessert. To top it off, our waiter tried to give us his landscaping business card. NOT professional at all. The waiter took our food away to box it up and when we went to finish it off the next evening, there was a dollop of spinach and half the potatoes we expected to be packed up! I recommend boxing your own leftovers to make sure you get everything you pay for. In my opinion, the food was good, but the whole experience was NOT worth $420!! As for the bathroom here, there was a sewer smell and nothing fancy to write home about. I'm hugely disappointed. Like I said... the food was delicious and. That. Is. All.

Carrot cake is the best in Houston as always along with the cream corn. Dry aged ribeye lacked the juicy flavor that I normally see from Texas Roadhouse or Saltgrass. Way overpriced. Fried shrimp had aftertaste issue and were removed from ticket. 6 people. $501. For that money I will end up at Kirby's or Perry's next time.

Went to Killen's Steakhouse because it was it was highly recommended by several friends....yeah, friends who obviously have never eaten a good steak. My steak was overcooked, heavily seasoned to mask the slightest taste of steak and the cut of the steak was like chewing a cut of cubed steak. Just horrible, especially given the price. Our side of au gratins was literally cold in the middle. We were shocked at how many mistakes were made at a restaurant of that level. We decided to pass on dessert because our entrees were so bad. What a waste of $$$ for an early Valentine dinner. Will never return because there are way too many other good steakhouses in The Woodlands and Houston area.

This was the epitome of a 5 star meal. The venue was beautiful with its wood paneling and understated elegance. The service was both friendly and attentive. The food was stellar and the wine list extraordinary. I have to say, the house bread was a honey trap. The country white bread with its amazing crispy crust and tender interior was a surefire way to fill up before your meal arrives. Beware the spell of the bread basket. The salads are lovely and plenty large enough to share. I also recommend the decadent French Onion Soup. Next time I will try the shrimp cocktail with housemade cocktail sauce. We had the special of the day, a cowboy wagyu ribeye (with dinosaur bone), and A5 Japanese wagyu filet with a lobster tail side, accompanied by fois gras (oh my), Béarnaise sauce, creamed spinach, and grilled jumbo asparagus. Who even has fois gras these days? Well, what can I say, it was fabulous. I do think the spinach was actually a bit too rich given the rest of the menu, but hardly a damning critique. I also suggest spreading the Béarnaise on the asparagus - a match made in heaven. And fois gras on top of the filet! I am grateful to the goose who gave its life for me. You can order several kinds of different toppings for your steak besides fois gras and Béarnaise. All was exquisitely executed and made with the freshest ingredients. It's a lot of food! We happily took home a ton of leftovers for a homebound gourmet feast later in the week. Dessert was an amazing carrot cake and housemade coconut ice cream. The espresso and Liquor 43 cocktail made for a lovely ending, but even their house coffee is dang good. Summary: if you are going to spend the big bucks, this is the place to do it. Highly recommended. Pro tip: their Mon-Thur Happy Hour menu is a great deal, 4-6pm. $8 top shelf cocktails and discounted apps.

First time here. Wanted some meat for Father's Day, and I decided to try it. Last minute decision, and probably should've made reservations, but the hostess sat us right away. We were casually dressed (again, last minute ‍), but we didn't feel out of place. Parking is past the complementary valet parking. I valet parked. The valets make sure they get the door for you too. You walk in from the bright light of outdoors into a dimly lit dining room. The hostess was friendly and advised me reservations were recommended but she said she could seat us. We were with my boys, but the kids menu is off menu, but there are several options. My boys had fried shrimp and steak. Both came with fries. My wife orders chicken fried steak that came with mashed potatoes and haricot verts (I'd call them green beans). Then, the reason I came. Steak. What a menu they have for steak! Go look for yourself, but it is extensive and expensive, but it is worth it! I chose the dry aged New York strip 14oz., cooked medium with a side baked potato. It was epic! Before we ordered they brought us bread and filled our glasses with water. I also ordered tea. There are dedicated waiters that are constantly waking by to refill your glasses. I never had an empty glass until we left. The service was great, the food was great. The atmosphere is very upscale and nice. They also have an extensive selections of cocktails, beers, and wine. I couldn't recommend this place any more. It was a wonderful experience.

First time at Killen's. & Texans win in wild card round! Sat in the bar at the high top tables and watched a great comeback v. da Bills. IMPRESSIVE WINE LIST.... someone put in a bit of effort. Great everyday bottles. Awesome glory bottles. Loved our bottle, Melka CJ 2016, perfect. Really good service. We are in the bar and watched the Texans get a rare playoff game win. The staff was into it and a lot of fun but paying close attention to us and the other guests. The steaks were excellent. Cooked perfect. Sides also nice. Bread and salad, tasty as well. Only complaint is the bar only has one TV that looks like it may have come with the building from prior tenant Bob's. The TV is smallish and doesn't appear to be HD. I know this is not a sports bar but it is nice to relax, eat a nice meal, enjoy some wine and watch a Rockets, Astros, Texans .

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Killens Steakhouse. This was our first time to eat at Killens, but we had previously visited this location when it was Bob's Steak and Chop House. Not much was changed on the inside, but there was no need to remodel. The focus was the food and the food was fantastic! Service was great and on point. Killens is known for their BBQ, but they sure can cook a steak! The appetizers and sides were top notch. We barely had any room for dessert, and were able to bring home plenty of leftovers. Great job Killens, and thanks for helping us celebrate our special day!

Read the recent reviews and was always torn because the BBQ across the street is second to none. Update is this place is now really good, steak had a serious crust, cooked perfectly and the sides were on point. If you came a few years ago I'd give it another shot, we need this type of chef to stay around our area.

I'm in the "spirit of the holidays" I am overly gracious and have given Killen's 2 stars. I guess our first red flag should have been the empty valet slots and half empty parking lot. In the past, there were two or three valet people and cars waiting to pull into the lot. Only one lonely valet guy and he was the only person who actually greeted us. Inside, a handful of people at the bar and about 30% of the tables filled. We were 20 minutes early and decided to have a per-dinner cocktail at the bar. Well, we got to the bar which had a filthy bar top and plenty of empty drink ware strewn about. Also, nice cloth napkins on the floor. The bartenders were practicing COVID social distance and were staying at least 30 FEET away. We sat and sat and when the bartenders couldn't be bothered to greet, clean or ask us if they could help, we went back to the hostess and asked to be seated....mentioning of course the filthy bar top and uninterested bartenders. By the way, I think I remembered one of the bartenders from the Bob's Steak & Chop House days....and we know what happened with them. So, upon being seated, our server, Kevin, asked if we had dined with them before and if we were celebrating anything. We said it was my birthday (true) and he just said "OK." OK? How about using those social skills Kevin and saying "happy birthday or welcome back...?" Kevin disappeared and upon resurfacing, he simply asked if we had any questions. To which we politely asked if we could order a cocktail. Off he went then returned to the table to asked what cocktails we'd like. Another absence then return and same question "do we have any questions." We asked for the wine list, which was a JOKE. We were given a kinda cool leather folio containing the list. However, opening this Harry Potter styled list was just silly. It unfolded to a length that covered half the table. Upon inspection, not a single bottle was one of the solid customer pleasing choices like: Caymus, Heitz, Jordon, Far Niente, or even Decoy. Instead it looks as if someone gave their wife or kid a "job" to keep the occupied and they selected a lot of unknown, uncared about, pet vineyard wines. Most of which starting at 200 bucks and more. I'm not paying 200 or 100 for something nobody has even heard of and you can't find a rating on Google. We commented on the list and Kevin told us the "featured" wine was 777 from Texas in either Cab or Merlot for $120. Seriously? This guy tells us a Texas wine is 120 bucks....WITH A STRAIGHT FACE!!! I won't go on about the poor service even worse Gulf Snapper covered in a heap of so much sauce you couldn't tell if there was fish under it not, nor will I comment extensively about the Texas Waygu NY Strip I had medium rare with a unevenly seasoned hockey puck sear. I'll wrap this up by saying, Kevin surfaced about as much as the Loch Ness Monster so we had to flag others down to get our bill and get the hell out of there. To top off our experience, when we got into the Uber for the ride home, the guy asked if we had a good dinner, to which we said, in unison, IT SUCKED! He laughed and said a lot of people say that about Killen's. Too bad we didn't have this guy taking us to the restaurant instead of picking us up. The net/net: There are plenty of places in The Woodlands for great steak and they offer excellent service and phenomenal wine selections. Morton's, Del Frisco's Grill even Flemings run circles about this dump of a steakhouse. Do yourself a favor and select ANY PLACE else other than here. We learned a $400+ lesson and won't be back. Oh yeah, the bathroom was equally as filthy...see the photo. They can't even manage to provide proper items to dry your hands. This gross, wet roll of towels was as big a joke as the disgusting bar top. On a related note: Bob's started out great at this location then went downhill. Killen's started out great and hasn't gone downhill....it's fallen off a cliff. Maybe Santa will bring them new bartenders and someone who knows how to manage a fine dining establishment. My 2 cents (which Biden's inflation has completely eroded) Greg T.

Had a birthday dinner for my wife on December 30th. Party of seven. It was wasn't busy at all. Service started out good. Had drinks delivered promptly. Same for appetizers. Ordered entrees. This is where it kind of fell apart. The waiter seemed to be enamored with a couple adjacent to us. Mind you the restaurant was less than a third full. Tea and water refills slowed way down. Waited a full hour for our entrees. Was informed 45 minutes in that we were waiting on the pork chop that unbeknownst to us takes longer to prepare. This should have been told to us sooner. Once entrees we're finally served, I felt the quality of the steak was below what I would expect for a restaurant of this quality. In summary: waiter was preoccupied with another couple and spent too much time socializing. Food was ok. Not great. I hope that some of the issues on the wait time was due to supply chain issues and not a drop in overall quality that will continue.

Numbers Numbers Numbers Ambiance: 6 out of 10 Bang for your buck: varies on what you get but it's fair 6 out of 10 Cleanliness: 9 out of 10 Service: our waiter was a 6 at best Food: 7.5 out of 10 I asked for something for our first anniversary... flowers or even a candle. The staff didn't even acknowledge it. What's the point of making a reservation if no one cares. I saw the gentlemen refilling my water glass more than my server. Food is good, but I won't be making plans to come here ever again. For the price of the bill $400 and I couldn't even get a small requested honored has black listed this place for me. So if they actually read this and pay attention yes you ruined my our anniversary. Would I return? Fooooooook no .... I see why their rating is 3.5 stars .

BEST high end steakhouse in The Woodlands area. Bar none. Started with their retro French Onion soup. Complete with melted Swiss cheese served in oven baked crock. I loved it. Deep rich, slightly sweet broth. My partner got the squash bisque. Complete with interesting "Southwest/Mexican " garnishments- great innovative take on what could be a mundane soup. The COMPLIMENTARY (I gave to note that these days as so many places charge for bread) breadbasket is to die for IMHO. LOVED THE CRANBERRY/walnut bread. The sourdough is well made too- crispy crust. Soft luxurious inside crumb. Waygu strip sampler (or just get the imported Japanese Waygu) definitely worth the splurge if celebriting a special occasion. Nice, deep char on the outside yet perfect medium rare on the inside. The sides, while not grotesquely large at other places (serves two people adequately) are perfectly cooked. So many places have no idea how to cook vegetables. Wines by the glass, sadly limited IMHO, all high alcohol overly ripe (I guess to pair well with fatty prime beef!). Bread pudding for dessert. Well made if slightly different take on a classic. Coffee is served HOT & FRESH. While this last item should be a given. Sadly so many high end restaurants FAIL at this simple item that it is worth noting and cheering. We have now been here twice, and definitely will come back 1-3 times per year when celebration justifies the $$$$$ splurge. Ambiance is classic dark steakhouse with lots of booths. While dressy, sadly there are guests who come in shorts, ripped jeans, T shirts etc. Bar had singles and couples eating there. It seemed welcoming and well spaced. Service is professional but not doting (talking to you Truluck's which tends to go overboard for those who enjoy that level of extra attention).

On a business trip to Houston, needed a good steak place in the Woodlands. If you want good service and good food, this is your spot. We ordered the Ramen Hard Boiled Eggs, they were good, but extremely salty. We also order the Bone Marrow and it was fantastic. The bread is warm and fresh, with good whipped butter. All 4 of us ordered ribeyes, 3 wet aged and 1 dry aged. They were all cooked perfectly to a medium rare. The a la carte sides are plenty for at least 2 or 3 people. We ordered 4, baked potato, lobster Mac and cheese, scalloped potatoes and broccoli risotto rice. They were all good, but I wouldn't say any of them were great. Our server was great and on top of every aspect of dinner. We also ordered the Carrot Cake. It was great! Flavorful, with ice cream on top. Plan on an expensive meal, but it is worth it for sure.

Great food! The restaurant is on the smaller side but it makes for a more intimate experience. We started with the pork belly bites and crab cake. Perfect size for four people. It gave everybody a bite of each with one person having two bites of pork belly. We had the Wagyu strip flight. Excellent amount of food to share. Four pieces of 4oz steak which is plenty for such a rich protein. As far as sides go, we ordered the mushrooms, mashed potato's, and Mac and cheese. The mushrooms where the star where the other two sides where okay. Let's be honest your not going to a steakhouse for sides. I will go back

Hands down the best food we have had in The Woodlands. The croque madame was the best bite of food I have ever had in my life! Barrett, our waiter, was awesome and even made a dish for us that was off the menu. Only tiny advice, as a previous hostess myself, don't have phones out at the host stand. They were way more interested in their phones than us.

I love Killen's BBQ so naturally I was very excited that Killen's was coming to the Woodlands. I thought the menu would be like their STQ location but this one is more traditional and mostly just steaks. The crab cake and fried asparagus are both pretty good starters and comes with lots of crab. The strawberry spinach salad with peppered goat cheese is pretty good for those who like salads but I didn't taste much of the bacon vinaigrette. For steaks we've had the filet and wet-aged ribeye. The first time I had the ribeye it was very tender and flavorful with a really good char but the 2nd time it was more tough. Filet was good as well but one of our orders were overcooked. Snapper came with lots of crab but a little too much sauce and I would have liked some char on it. For sides their creamed corn the best. Scalloped potatoes and haricot verts were decent. Mushrooms were disappointing, I've made better at home myself. For dessert their carrot cake is probably the best item and I love how it's served warm. I was excited for the bread pudding but unfortunately their regular bread pudding at the bbq location is WAY better. For drinks I had the Whistlin' Cochon (whiskey with lavendar honey) and it was very good. They also have a pretty good whiskey menu and the bartender was knowledgeable. Overall it's good steakhouse but I don't feel like anything really stood out compared to other ones in the area

It's Killens, which is high end and should always be 5 stars because the bar is set so high. While our service was five star, the shoddily printed menu and the food were far more underwhelming. We spared no expense, getting cocktails (very good), appetizers (very good), salad, sides, and steak flight but just unimpressed overall, especially at that price point. I'd recommend that other steak place that started in Pearland/Friendswood instead ;)

Overpriced and not a good value for the money. Had a dry aged steak that was terrible. The chef didn't cut enough of the rotted meat off before cooking. But even if it had been properly prepared, the steak was no better than what I can pull off doing a reverse sear on a backyard Weber. It just sucked. . . Spent $361 for two. Just took a family of 5 to Vic & Anthony's for just about $60 dollars more and it was excellent. Ps. Ronnie Killen--your steakhouse is a ripoff.

As promised: Excellent Steak, Flavorful & perfectly cooked. Great service. Prices within reasonable range for prime steak. Will definitely return. FWIW Ate at the bar.

The chicken fried steak is tender and has a great flavor. My husband enjoyed his steak. Sides are large, so recommend to share.

Add this to your list of steakhouses to try in the Woodlands. It's definitely in the top 2 or 3 of steakhouses in the area. Our waitress was Michelle, she guided us through the menu and made some excellent suggestions. If you are planning on making reservations, make sure you ask for her. The ambience was nice...very fitting for a fancier steakhouse. The bar was busy and we were told that they had a good happy hour. Salad We split the wedge salad. Baby iceburg wedge, diced tomato, applewood smoked bacon, and Roquefort. Probably one of the best wedges we've had in a long time. Crabcake Jumbo Lump Crab, lemon butter, and jumbo shrimp. Big chunks of crabmeat with not a lot of stuffing. It was excellent! 16oz Dry Aged Ribeye I was undecided on which steak to choose, but Michelle suggested the dry aged ribeye. She made an excellent suggestion. The steak tasted like buttery popcorn and every bite was divine. Definitely one of the best steaks I've ever had. Pay the extra and go dry aged. You won't be sorry!! The only complaint (and its not even a big deal) was the plate. The steak was on a huge plate which made the steak look kind of small. Sides Mac & Cheese Scalloped Potatoes Mashed Potatoes Yeah we like startches. Lol, they were all good. I preferred the scalloped potatoes and the Mac and cheese over the mashed potatoes. Check out the other sides. Really want to try some of the others on the next visit. The bread was awesome too. Desserts Carrot Cake My first choice was sold out (chocolate toffee brownie), so I went with the carrot cake. Every morning the pastry chef makes all of the desserts from scratch. The carrot cake was served hot with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. So good. Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake By far this was Randie's favorite item of the night. This is a must try if you are going to get a dessert. Heck if you're in the area, call in and get one to-go!

Fantastic date night at Killens! A couple hiccups to start with waitress said she didn't have clean silverware to bring us so we had to wait even when the bread and appetizers came. The Appetizers we tried were delicious we tried the wagyu meatballs, mini tacos. Chef Luis is awesome! He has so much knowledge about all the different steaks and gave us some great recommendations. He made our experience here at Killens so much better. We had the wagyu bone in ribeye which was so delicious and the large bbq rib was so good i'm still craving it now. As for sides we had the lobster Mac which wasn't my favorite compared to some other restaurants but still good. We also tried the mushrooms, mashed potatoes and asparagus and loved them all. All around great place for a romantic date night.

First let me say, service was outstanding. No one could argue that. The steak that was ordered was cooked properly, but did not have the flavor profile you would expect for the price point. We also, just out of curiosity, ordered the CFS. Again, it didn't seem to be seasoned, nor was it exceptionally tender. The bread was good, but cold. The broccoli cheese risotto had less flavor than the broccoli cheese and rice casserole that I entered in my 4th grade 4-H food show. By far, the best thing was the creamed corn. It was so good! If you're expecting Bob's (or Perry's, Kirby's, etc.), you will be disappointed. We had been looking forward to the opening for so long, but in the end, I don't really see us returning.

outstanding service. food was great. pork belly appetizer was so good! crème brûlée bread pudding was really good. tasted s friend's steak and thought maybe it was a little too salty, but still good.

Hands down our favorite restaurant in The Woodlands. The bartenders are amazing - Ryan and Jen will always take care of you. The service on the floor is phenomenal...very experienced and professional. Rob will always take care of you, but the list of other amazing servers there is extensive. Personally, we think the filet is the best in town, and we're picky when it comes to our steaks. You won't be disappointed!

The atmosphere is great. The cocktails were delicious along with happy hour appetizers. The crab cakes are a must. The service is great and the food was delicious. Brussel sprouts and broccoli cheese risotto both excellent side dishes. We will definitely be back.
