Killen’s Barbecue

Folks, Killen’s Barbecue in Pearland, TX is one of the best joints in America. There’s no doubt.

I’ve been super busy over here in BrisketMan Land and although I haven’t finished my write up I just have to share the awesome pictures I took.

So let me walk you through a short photo essay of my time at the venerable meat house, Killen’s Barbecue.

  2. I’m salivating. Killen’s looks incredible. Next time you need a friend to go halvsies with here, you know who to call! It was great meeting you yesterday, Brisketman. I look forward to hanging out with you more in the future!

    Let’s go to Cooper’s in the next couple weeks.

  3. We drove up to Killen’s this past Thursday. Brisket, sausage, pork ribs, beef rib were melt in your mouth good. Perfectly smoked, I didn’t use any sauce til about half way through as the meat needs no sauce. Sides were good; beans, potato salad, mac&cheese. Going back this Thursday to try the chicken as it’s only served on Sundays and Thursdays
