Killen's Steakhouse

Don't let our building fool you! We are an upscale steakhouse right here in the heart of Pearland and the only restaurant in town serving Allen Brothers USDA prime beef. Chef Ronnie Killen has returned to his home town after training at Le Cordon Bleu and honing his culinary skil’s throughout the U.S. Our hand-cut steaks are cooked to perfection on a state of the art infrared brdling system...

In 2005, Killen earned the esteemed position of assistant executive chef at the White House in Washington, DC.
