Scott and I recently went to Killen's Steakhouse per the recommendation of a friend--a friend that likes really good food. He had claimed Killen's had the best steak he'd ever eaten and we agree. The drive to Pearland was worth every bite. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but the inside was very tastefully decorated and the cuisine, very tasty!
We had an excellent waiter who helped steer us through the menu.
I started with a cosmopolitan that was perfectly blended and Scott relaxed with a dirty martini. We ordered a bottle of the Reynold's Family Reserve Cabernet to compliment our steaks.
Appetizer
• NUESKE BACON WRAPPED U‐10 SCALLOPS •
Jumbo Scallops wrapped in bacon served on a bed of spinach, with lemon butter sauce
These scallops were amazing, some of the best I've had. I'm sure I was influenced by the bacon but they would have still been divine without it. The scallops and spinach rested upon a thick slice of fried potato. There were 4 jumbo scallops on the platter, I could easily come back and order the scallops as entree paired with a salad.
Salad
• GARDEN •
Mixed Greens, Tomatoes, Red Onions, Cucumbers and Carrots
• WEDGE •
Fresh Iceberg Lettuce Wedge topped with diced Tomatoes, Apple Wood Smoked Bacon, Chives and Chef Ron’s Roquefort dressing
Both salads were good, but not the focal part of our meal. We were planning to eat a lot, and I couldn't believe Scott wanted to waste valuable stomach real estate with a salad.
Entree
• 16 oz Kobe Beef RIB-EYE •
This was one of many Rib-eye options on the menu. They actually had a 32 oz one that we could have spilt but we decided on a divide and conquer approach. I did see two men at another table each ordered their own 32 ounce rib-eye and eat all of it, let's just say they looked like they could have each eaten two of them. I had a bite of Scott's rib-eye but it was nothing in comparison to the Kobe Beef filets that I had.
• (3) 3 oz Kobe Beef Filet Mignon •
I opted for the special, fully expected all kobe beef to be equal. This flight really surprised my palette.
1. Nebraska Morgan Ranch
The Nebraska beef was fantastic. It tasted like a hunk of meat drenched in butter.
2. Texas AKAUSHI KOBE BEEF
I fully expected the Texas beef to be better, since well everything is bigger and better in Texas, but it was least favorite. Had I had it on its own I'm sure it would have been awesome but in comparison it just wasn't.
3. Australia Blackwood Ranch
The Australia beef was so good I am speechless. We were told it was the most comparable to the highest grade of Japanese kobe and I believe it.
We split a side of macaroni and cheese, which was of course delicious.
Dessert
• Creme Brulee Bread Pudding •
I don't get very excited about bread pudding, but this one was excellent. It was moist, without being wet, and also won the best bites competition at the Houston Rodeo.
This meal was a super splurge for us so maybe next time we will attemp to try some of the more affordable items on the menu.

I went to this steakhouse a few years back. For the most part, everything was good except the steak was undercooked. We asked for it to be cooked a little longer and boy was that a mistake. The owner came to our table and basically said we didnt know how to order a steak and that maybe we should go to Outback Steakhouse. This was the first and last time we've ever been to this Killen's steakhouse. The owner, Ronnie Killen, will go on his Facebook page and verbally attack any customer who complains. It reminds me of Amy's Baking Comapny in Arizona. Check out his Facebook page for Killen's BBQ & Killen's Steakhouse for a good laugh. I hear people line up for his food though. If this Ronnie Killen guy keeps insulting his customers, then he'll eventually be a cook at Outback Steakhouse.
