Damn! I’ll be in Houston in a few weeks and I was really looking forward to trying Killen’s pork belly. Sad to hear a poor report.
The only time I’ve been to Killen’s was a few years back. I turned up 45 minutes before opening on the second day of his pop-up operation at the steakhouse (a Sunday) expecting a bit of a line, but we were the only ones there for 15 minutes or so. I guess the word is now well and truly out.
I thought both the brisket and the beef rib were magnificent - the best I’ve had, in fact.
(Caveat: I’ve only been to ten or so Texan BBQ restaurants but they do include Black’s and Smitty’s in Lockhart and City Market in Luling.)
