    Lollipops 07-25-26…read more Saw this online a wanted to give it a try. Really nice restaurant. Plenty of room for guests. Restaurant was clean and had a fun design! Lollipop curtains added to the fun. We were seated right away. The staff were friendly and polite. She explained the menu and how some dishes were made. We started off with the Honey Garlic Sauce lollipops. The batter was crispy and the meat was juicy and flavorful. Will definitely try different flavors! We also had: Shrimp Bowl served over a bed of red beans, Louisiana dirty rice and topped with our famous brown gravy and Shrimp. Also a side of Macaroni and Cheese. Very flavorful. Catfish Atchafalaya, Fried Catfish with crawfish Sauce served over Rice. Crispy and flaky catfish. Served hot and fresh. I also had a side of Fried Cabbage. All the food was made hot and fresh! Thanks to the owners and staff for making our experience wonderful this includes the cooks and anyone else that made our experience memorable. We will be coming back for more great food! Thank you

    Lollipops is the spot!…read more Have you ever gone into a restaurant with manners and decorum, but the quality and flavor of the food was so exceptional that you quickly lost all of your sensibilities and devolved into a mindless animal hell bent on devouring everything? Well that's what happened to me at Lollipop's this evening, and I'm not even mad that I stained one of my favorite shirts while shoveling handfuls of these otherworldly morsels into my greedy pie hole. Their food was so spectacular that it straight up awoke something primal in me. From chicken "lollipops" covered in sweet honey garlic sauce that I would seriously consider bottling to later take home and chug in a dark corner where no one could judge my hedonism, to creamy Mac and Cheese with a tiny kick of spice that makes your taste buds swell in ecstasy, and perfectly seasoned shrimp bursting with flavor, these folks throw down in the kitchen like that is what God put them on this Earth to do. From bite number one I became a ravenous creature whose only objective was "Give me more!" Halfway through this gustatory adventure, I was able to focus on my surroundings long enough to see how my husband was enjoying his little slice of Heaven. That question was quickly answered when I noticed that he was so lost in the absolute bliss, that his beard was covered in some beautiful gift from God that we lovingly referred to as "Cajun queso". He got an open faced chicken poboy that was drenched in this mythic nectar, and he was clearly so overcome by his basic need to devour more, that his hands and mouth were wearing most of it. My son, normally quite verbose and animated in dinner socialization, was so hyper focused on his next bite that he couldn't be bothered to acknowledge either one of us until the finale of the meal. Next time you want to go somewhere and lose yourself in a gluttonous haze of decadence and flavor, do yourself a favor and make your way to Lollipops. Put it this way: On the way home I found a rogue piece of chicken stuck in the recesses of my back teeth with my tongue, and the only thought I could muster was how elated I was to have another taste.

    This was an okay chicken place. The skin had a pretty good crisp to it but I felt like the…read moreseasoning was lacking and just a small tad salty compared to other fast food fried chicken places. The fries were just average but not "in and out" bad. And the dinner roll was just there. Maybe the tortilla would have been a better choice. I did get an extra thigh by accident which was nice. The service was pretty good. The manager came around to check on every table. The place seemed well put together and clean. Though seems kind of short staffed when it gets swamped. I've never been to Killeen before and what they say is true. There's nothing to do but look at gun stores and hobby lobby.

It became a nostalgic staple for me, particularly during my college years when I visited El Salvador. However, I must say that there are notable discrepancies between the Pollo Campero locations in El Salvador and the one I recently visited in Killeen, Texas. When comparing the Killeen location to those in California, I noticed distinct differences in both taste and quality. The pricing at this location is quite reasonable, especially considering that an 8-piece chicken meal can comfortably feed 4 to 5 adults. This meal also comes with two sides, which adds to its value. The drink options are diverse, featuring favorites like horchata, mango, Jamaica, and various Pepsi products. Upon entering, I found the establishment to be clean and tidy, which is always a plus. However, I did encounter an issue in the restrooms, which had a strong smell of weed and a non-functional light fixture glowing with a red light. This aspect stood out as somewhat sketchy and detracted from the overall experience. On a more positive note, the customer service was exceptional. The cashier, named Edward, was extremely helpful and caring, making my visit all the more pleasant. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly enhanced my dining experience. In summary, while Pollo Campero continues to evoke fond memories from my childhood, there are areas for improvement at the Killeen location. Nevertheless, the reasonable prices, generous portions, and outstanding customer service are reasons enough to give it a second chance.
