Menu at the ordering window
Rello R.

Its a decent soul food spot in Killeen. They will not let you inside to order so you have to order from the drive through. Its very tight so don't go whipping through there. The menu is pretty limited but it's enough to pick something. The ham hocks were cooked well however I thought they could have been a little more seasoning on them! The Mac and cheese and collard greens I have the same thoughts. All cooked well just not enough seasoning. The corn bread was ok. The banana pudding was also ok. I mean the best part was the service. Its not nearly as slow as the other spot in Killeen. If they just seasoned their food a little better it would not be a competition. However, I would still pick this one over the other just because we got all this food in 10 mins compared to waiting over an hour and the order not even being right.

Combination platter for around $10. Amazing!

Before I left for Korea i decided to try out all the bbq places in killeen that i could, and this one was at the top of the list. The prices are very reasonable and the food was delicious with good portions. I had the sampler plater that cost me about $10 and i got 3 meats, 2 sides and a piece of cornbread. I cant remember if a drink came with it or not but regardless I was stuffed after i finished eating.

Banana pudding

Such a cute little place. If you aren't paying attention, you will definitely drive right past it! Ordered the combination plate. It included rib, sausage and brisket, two sides, choice of bread, pickles and onions! The rib was slightly fatty, which I didn't care for but it was still good. The brisket was a little dry but not extremely dry. The sausage was just right, not too spicy! The cornbread was delicious as well! Sides: Pinto beans and cole slaw, beans weren't that great no real taste. But I really did like the cole slaw, prepared just the way I like! My favorite thing though, their banana pudding! Nice and cold, with slices of banana sitting right on top of the pudding. Oh gawd, it was just delicious!

Combo, Mac & Cheese, Rice, and Sweet Tea

I never liked Killeen. I hate the region, but my line of work continuously brings me to the area. Already being in a bad mood for being in Killen and the fact that I tend to trust my fellow Yelpers (see below review), I always drove by here without giving it much thought. I must say, maybe the place improved since 2007, but my visits weren't bad at all. My most recent visit had me staying at the Best Western across the street so I felt compelled to finally try it out. So try I did. I ate at Choice's on three different occasions and all three times I was left satisfied by the dish I ordered. I've ordered the combo (three select meats: beef ribs, beef brisket, and pork sausage), BBQ Pork Chops, BBQ Half Chicken, I even ordered a Pork Knuckle to enjoy in my bedroom like a sick sadistic man. Each dish comes with a choice of two sides and choice of bread. The collard greens and black eyed peas were the highlights. The mac and cheese had no flavor. For the bread, go with the corn bread, it reminds me of the corn bread mixes sold at Trader Joes. All the meats came out moist and fall off the bone good. They also had a wonderful smoky, oaky, charred flavor to the meats. Something I was not expecting from a place without a pit, especially here in Texas where pit BBQ'ing seems to be the standard. Additionally, the product is fresh. I always saw the two cooks smoking the meats every morning at around 6 AM. Moving on, the sweet tea didn't taste like sweet tea. It was more like a sweet tamarind drink, usually served at many Mexican restaurants. I enjoyed it, but for the fear of diabetes, only enjoyed one cup. Definitely try this place out. Though it isn't the Salt Lick, Rudy's or any of the other orgasm inducing places I've been too in Austin or Lockhart, Choices' is a pretty good place if you're in the Killen area. P.S. Come early during lunch, the place gets very busy inside the restaurant as well as the drive through window.

"You gon' eat yo cornbread?!" Who knows what that's from? LOL

Very good food. My little sister introduced me to this place and now every time I visit her in Killeen I have to go there! The chitterling (chitlin') plate with rice and hot sauce coupled with a slice of lemon cake is the truth!!!

Sausage and brisket with beans!

I don't even know where to begin. This place is definitely a top spot if you like great barbecue…read moreand even bigger portions. First off the lady who took my order. Energetic is the best word to describe her. I should have gotten her name for a shoutout. The business was spotless, the music was comforting and they support local business. The brisket was literally fall apart good. The mac n cheese was just the right amount of creamy with the toasted cheese on top and the candied yams couldn't have been any better. The sausage was flavored like they did the casing themselves. The potato salad was a home run and the seasoned rice was cooked to perfection. My overall rating for this establishment 5/5 would return in a heat heat. Most likely my new BBQ spot way to go

So i am willing to try this place again at an earlier time because my husband literally went during…read moreclosing. I am definitely giving this place an A for effort until the next time I go. Right off the back the pulled pork was very tender and flavorful and I do not care for pork that much. The brisket was also very tender but lacked seasoning. The yams were awesome, the corn was overcooked and I am sure its because we got the food right before closing, the cabbage lacked salt and pepper, and the mac n cheese needed salt and pepper as well. Overall the meal was good just a few tweaks here or there and the sides would be bomb! My husband insisted that the brisket needed some smokiness and needed a little more seasoning as well. All in all 7.5/10... for now! Service was awesome and the establishment was clean!

If you're in Killeen, you have GOT to go to the Firehouse Ranch. We were looking for a BBQ joint…read moreand wound up giving them a call. After speaking to the owner I knew we had to try them out. It's a Food-truck style business owned by Les and Miss Paula. Both wonderful people and it is so very evident that they love what they do. Everything that we tried was screaming with down-home, made-from-scratch love!! Pork Ribs-Outstanding / Brisket-Outstanding / Pulled Pork-Outstanding!! I tried and loved their Collard Greens, their Ranch Beans and their Cornbread. They are open at the location that we went to on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I live in IL, but I'll be back to eat Les's smoked up specialties and Miss Paula's homestyle fixins. Top notch customer service!!

You know the saying, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression", this was so true…read morewhen I visited Firehouse Ranch BBQ. They were very friendly. Today was a day to myself and I figured I'd finally try their food. Oh My Goodness!!!! This food is amazing. I ordered the pork ribs, coleslaw and greens. The meat was falling off the bone. The greens didn't need any tweaking. Normally when I get greens I have to add vinegar to them. Their greens were perfect. The coleslaw was very creamy. You've got to give their food a try. Awesome first impression Firehouse Ranch BBQ!

This is actually my second time here -- I visited Bubba's the last time I was in Celina, Texas, and…read morecame back again on this trip. Overall, it's been a really good experience both times. The service really stands out. I had a bad throat, and our server kindly brought me warm water with lemon on request. I don't eat beef or pork, and she made sure to double-check with the kitchen, which I truly appreciated. That level of care made a difference. It has a true sports bar vibe with TVs all around, great for catching games. I'm here for work with a colleague -- they enjoyed their beer, and it was comfortable enough for us to sit, chat, and even get a little work done. Solid spot and definitely somewhere I return to when I'm in Killeen, Tx

Great place to eat or just hang out and enjoy a cold beverage…read more I was happy to see they even had options for non alcoholic beverages & beers, however they didn't have much in the way of vegetarian or vegan options other than salad. Maybe offer some cauliflower hot wings or fried mushrooms, maybe an impossible burger. There were a couple of negatives, the fries were a little soggy and tasted like the oil was old, maybe change it out a little more often on busy days. That said, other than the fries, the food we did have was done well and tasted great! Our server was spot on and quick to get to us. On a positive! If it's nice out, they have a relaxing outdoor space and the doors inside also raise up to give you that outdoor feeling without actually being there. As we had never been there before it was a positive first impression for our group. Good Job!
