From our kitchen to your table, thank you. 🤍
Since opening in 2020, Killen’s in the Heights has been rooted in Ronnie Killen’s Southern-inspired comfort food and family recipes, dishes passed down through generations that helped us to earn Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025.
Beginning June 30 through our final day of service on July 19, we invite you to join us for a Farewell Menu featuring the return of our original menu items and fan favorites, including:
• chicken fried steak
• ronnie’s 24hr fried chicken
• pork chops (fried or smothered)
• smoked & braised oxtails
• chicken pot pie
• the cafeteria burger
• German chocolate cake
• BBQ by the pound: brisket, ribs, pulled pork, turkey & house-made sausage
Many of these items were inspired by recipes from Ronnie’s Czechoslovakian grandmother Millie, who worked at a school cafeteria in Moulton, Texas. The German chocolate cake came from his Aunt Margie, and he learned how to barbecue from his German godfather Wilfred. That tradition is at the heart of what this restaurant was about.
We’ll be open with regular hours through our final Sunday brunch on July 19. And a few staples that never left the menu will be here, including our pork belly burnt ends, deviled eggs with pulled pork, and chicken & waffles at brunch.
It’s been an honor to share these meals and moments with our guests, our team and the Heights community.
