Choice Barbecue Restaurant - Killeen

I love everything about this place. I recommend the bbq plate with a disc strawberry cake

I ate here twice in the week I was staying in Killeen and loved it! First was the BBQ Combo I think it was called with a spare rib, hot link, and some righteous Texas brisket. The meat were meaty and portion generous given the price point. I sided with collards and mac and cheese. Both were top-notch! Second was the Soul Food box with smoked ham hocks, collards, and potato salad. The hocks were meaty and rich and even now I'm day-dreaming about them. Another excellent box of down home deliciousness and for sure I'll revisit next time I'm in Killeen!

I found my way to this restaurant based on an article about how good their chitterlings are. For those of you who don't know what chitterlings are, it's pig intestines that when cooked right can make a delicious meal, just dont eat them from anybody who isn't an expert in preparing chitterlings, you will pay the price if they are not cleaned properly. Well they were out of chitterlings so I decided to try some other items off the menu. I tried the BBQ chicken, ribs, brisket, and sausage with side orders of mac and cheese and collard greens. I also tried the lemon cake and banana pudding for dessert. I have to say if you want true BBQ off the grill this may not be the go to place for you. The food was tasty but the meat tasted like it was boiled and not grilled, again it was tasty but for you hard-core grill fanatics, you might be disappointed with the meats. The collards greens were straight out the can, and the mac and cheese looked and tasted like kraft out the box. The lemon cake was dry and the banana pudding was mediocre at best. The inside of the restaurant was nice and clean, and the workers were nice, but my reviews are about the food only, hence the 3 stars. The other piece of the article that caught my eye was that the author of the article stated that this was one of the 5 best soul food restaurants in killeen ....well if you're looking for that stick to ribs soul food that grandma used to cook... keep moving. If you just want a nice meal that's filling and tasty you won't be disappointed.

Sides items needs more seasoning there was no flavor. Brisket was great !

I enjoy the greens and macaroni although I did have to add some seasoning. The ribs were not done at all . I had to put them in the oven to finish cooking. Disappointed!
