Killen's

Ronnie Killen’s Heights hit is the wrong place to count calories or dabble with salads. Quite the opposite, this Southern standout is an all-or-nothing celebration honoring his grandmother. Sharing is encouraged here, where meals should begin with their spiced jalapeño cornbread skillet or grilled oysters with harissa spiced topping. Buttermilk fried chicken with a pot of creamy mashed potatoes delights at lunch, while all of the barbecue favorites like brisket, ribs and turkey, are here too. This is comfort food that rings familiar, satisfies with ease and all but demands for a nap once you’ve cleared the last crumb (but save room for the bread pudding!). Those who bravely walk in hoping to go meatless can take refuge in the sizeable selection of vegetables.
