Lately I’ve been really disappointed for the most part in the new restaurants hawked by the “retainer” writers. I’m now waiting to see if they actually last before throwing hard earned money at newbies. Many haven’t. Of those he listed, I’ve been to State Fare twice. The menu sounds amazing but in practice it is lacking. Arthur Ave gets tepid reviews from paying folk on sites such as Yelp. I will eventually get to Killens burgers, but won’t stand in line for Q. Didn’t Killen have another burger place in Pearland years ago? I did go to that one.
Re Pearland though, it seems King’s Biergarten is expanding in menu and size since I last went and I’m interested in making the trip again.
