This lovely oasis of civility built by Chef Ronnie Killen certainly is worth seeking out. It may be the most casual fine dining room on the Gulf Coast.

It's kinda like Christmas Day at grandmother's. Everyone is dressed up and on their best behavior, but if you screw up and use the wrong fork no one will blink an eye.

While the steaks are the stars, it's the featured players that we remember most vividly: the appetizer of fried asparagus topped with lump crab; the beef tomato salad with bleu cheese and basil; the dreamy creamy spinach; and, for dessert, a creme brule bread pudding that's a mouth orgy.

Vibe: Celebratory. Killen's is where Pearlanders celebrate life's big events, be it birthdays, proposals or promotions.

Alison Cook says: Inside this white-tablecloth surprise, chef-owner Ron Killen not only runs Pearland's best restaurant but also one of the best Gulf Coast steak-and-seafood eateries in the Houston area, if not the state. Steaks are beautifully seasoned and meticulously seared. Try the towering Niman Ranch pork chop, chicken-fried sirloin steak, jumbo fried shrimp and anything with lump crabmeat. Finish with a soft and light crème brûlée bread pudding.

Celebrated a birthday there with family recently. This is the standard by which all others should be judged. Simply outstanding in every respect.

Killen's Steakhouse came highly recommended. It is the Ruth’s Chris of Pearland. The environment is warm and inviting. The service is fantastic. This is a great place for a romantic dinner. My girlfriend and I have visited often. The food is absolutely delicious and equally as great if not better than Ruth Chris. The steaks are cooked to order.

My husband and I have been to Killens a few times and have not been disappointed. We usually get the ribeye, but on a special occasion we decided to split the $95. Kobe beef cowboy ribeye. I forget how many ounces it was, but it was more than enough for two of us. It was the best ribeye I have ever tasted- it melted in my mouth. Their sides and desserts are equally good. The prices are higher than average, but you do get what you pay for- high quality food and excellent service.
