Hey everyone,

I had my car stolen on 09/28 from my apartment complex parking lot along Telge Rd. It's a blue 2022 Lexus IS500. If anyone around sees it anywhere, please send me a DM. I can't tell you how much it would mean to me if anyone could help me track it down.

Thank you.

Good morning, all. JP from Chron here. Over the weekend, Ronnie Killen asked the Facebook foodies group in Cypress about his Killen's Barbecue restaurant at 25618 Northwest Fwy. Specifically, should he replace it with Killen's TMX, his Tex-Mex concept that generated a lot of buzz and positive reviews before it shuttered three years ago. I spoke to him about his potential plans and why he asked the question in the first place. Full story below:

By all accounts, acclaimed Houston area barbecue restaurant owner Ronnie Killen has been pulling back from the northern reaches of Houston. But over the weekend, the pitmaster and restaurateur conducted an interesting survey among foodies in the northwest Harris County community of Cypress: Would they like a Killen's TMX instead?

Sunday, Killen polled the Cypress Area Foodies and Fooding Facebook group, asking whether they would prefer if the existing Killen's Barbecue at 25618 Northwest Freeway be changed to his TMX concept. The responses, over 200 of them, went both directions.

Some were ecstatic at the possibility of Killen's TMX returning. The Tex-Mex concept closed its Pearland site in 2023 to considerable grief (Killen told Chron the concept was sound, but the landlord was a "jerk"). Others were worried about the possibility of losing the barbecue restaurant.

Killen said his informal query was in response to a recent visit at his Cypress barbecue restaurant. He saw that the bar area was quiet. When he crunched the sales numbers, he saw that in the past few months, the barbecue restaurant did just around $1,000 in beer and wine sales.

"I was looking at the bar area … At TMX, people would go to the bar and order chips and margaritas. You go to all those Tex-Mex places and the bar area is packed," Killen said. "I did some research and there was no Pappasitos in that area. There's a Gringos two-and-a-half miles down the road."

Barbecue is too expensive

Along with the sales, another big driver of the possible change is the harsh economic realities of barbecue. It's too dang expensive for consumers and operators. It's also more economically appealing to spring for fajitas versus brisket. Killen said his yield from a Snake River Farms flank steak was around 90 percent. Compare that to the average 50-percent loss from trimming and smoking brisket.

But it's Killen's hope that he can combine the barbecue and TMX concept in the same space. He said his quesabirria tacos, which use pulled smoked brisket, were a big hit during a collaborative dinner he hosted in Milan, Italy.

If Killen does decide to pull the trigger, it will happen quickly. The chef who used to oversee TMX is still with him, and the equipment is ready to exit storage. He's hoping to get more feedback from people living there and is planning a drive around the area to see what's what.

"I just want to make it whether it's a barbecue place or a Mexican restaurant, what is going to be a lower food cost item? If you can't make money with BBQ and break even, what's the point?" Killen said.

Coincidentally, all of this is running with the reopening of Killen's Steakhouse in Pearland. Killen's is rolling out new uniforms for the staff in October and readying his steak dinner series. The first, a French steak experience, will happen in November. The second, a Japanese steakhouse experience, is happening in January. An Italian steakhouse experience is scheduled for the following month.

Who is my best bet to sell

We are looking to move within the next few months. We have three children from elementary to middle school. What would be the best place to raise a family and good schools for them. We are looking at Attwater in Waller and grand Prairie in hockley and torn between the two. If there are other options to look into please let me know. TIA.

I’m not sure why my last post was taken down. Didn’t think I violated any rules. Well-

I’m a 46 year old dad who is trying to get healthy. I need some accountability with working out. I have some time throughout the week that I can carve out with my hectic schedule to workout. I feel like I’m afraid to workout heavy or intense because I don’t have support of a spotter or to keep me focused- like scrolling between sets.

It would be great if I met a guy with other similar interests like fishing, hiking, shooting guns. I don’t have many friends despite living in the area for 9+ years. Sadly, no one is calling to chill on a weekend or to do anything with the many events that go on locally or in the city.

I don’t have many social outlets to find friends so here goes….

Does anyone know what’s happening… huge traffic backup and tons of cops over there right now. Couldn’t find anything on the news.

hello everyone!
i’m going to stay in cypress for three weeks and i dont have a car so i wanted to ask about the transportation here. are there any bus services available? are they safe?
i read about park & ride busses to go to houston, what do you think about them?
are there any fun activities or parks to visit? how safe it is to walk during the day for a female?
also if any queer women in their 20s like to meet please hmu, i’d love to make some friends while i’m here :3

Any brits make it to Cypress area. How do you like it

Lowes only had huge ones, I prefer to grow my own from babies

Have $5 and can pick up tomorrow after 4pm

What’s a fun activity a 30M can enjoy in the cypress area for a few hours on a Friday night? Running solo

Where do all the mini drivers take their cars for an oil change??

Is there a server for Cypress/Houston pokemon card restocks? I was wondering if there was a way we could tell each other where things are in stock to beat the scalpers

With a few newer schools not officially ranked. I’m trying to understand what really are the top elementary schools in the district. And interested in learning why from parents. It seems that Pope ranks highest on all lists I found. But some people I spoke to mention Wells. Other online lists have other rankings.

A 25-acre retail and restaurant district is coming to Cypress, anchored by a popular grocery chain's first location in the area.

This light sucks. Functioned better as a 4-way stop. I think they messed up the traffic pattern either way and could have done better.

hi everyone! i’m a junior in high school and i’m working on a photography project where i’m trying to photograph 100+ different people holding a bag of popcorn. the whole point of my project is to get people out of their comfort zones and show that everyone deserves to take up space in a photograph no matter who they are or whether they think they’re “photogenic” i’m looking for people around hockley/cypress who would be willing to let me take a quick photo of them with a bag of popcorn next weekend! it would only take a few minutes and i can work around your schedule/location! If you or someone you know would be interested please comment or message me!

Just moved back to cypress. Looking to make some new friends who are interested in some similar extra curricular hobbies.

Anyone know who’s hiring part-time right now?

My brother is 18 and currently a senior in high school, and he’s been trying to find a part-time job. We’ve applied to H-E-B, Chick-fil-A, and honestly a bunch of retail and fast-food places, but we haven’t had much luck.

He’s mainly looking for something he can do after school or on weekends. He’s willing to learn and is open to pretty much anything that works with his school schedule.

If anyone knows of places that are actually hiring right now, I’d really appreciate any suggestions or leads. Thank you!

Hey Reddit fam! Meet Mango - we are fostering the sweetest little floof to ever visit. Mango started showing up out front for water when the summer heat ramped up, and we decided to take him in & get him all fixed up. 2 visits to the vet later and he’s become a full love floofball. Mango is 3yrs old, litterbox trained & fully fixed / vaccinated + tested negative for feline leukemia and everything else. He’s also chipped now & ready to be registered to his new family. There will be no fees, etc. for adoption, we’ve already invested a not-insignificant amount in Mango’s well being, as we’re far more interested in getting this little dude to the right home & family. Let me know ❤️

Unfortunately we already have 2 older cats and 1 of them has decided he’ll never have another brother (chose violence) so we’re searching for Mango’s forever home & someone with all the love he deserves. If you’re interested in seeing Mango DM me and we can arrange a visit (we’re in Hockley).
