    Peach Cobbler
    Alicia L.

    I was so disappointed. This used to be a go to for me whenever I visited Killeen. I loved the smoked chicken, which isn't offered any longer. The brisket was tough. I had their sweet sauce and it had a strange taste. The ribs for the kids were chewy. The pinto beans were good. The cornbread wasn't great. The service was okay. Also, I added peach cobbler which was white cake and peaches.

    Brisket sandwich with baked beans

    Good bbq for great prices! Not the most amazing bbq but solid. True Texas Bbq is located inside HEB so it is convenient and easy to access. They have a spot to sit and eat or just take to go! Prices are great! $5 for a brisket sandwich?! Yes please! Also ordered a combo plate with fatty brisket and pulled pork. Meat is tender and juicy! The two sides that I picked to go with the combo (creamed corn and mac n cheese) were both good. The side of baked beans that I picked with the sandwich was not good. Way too thick and weirdly creamy. Adding some bbq sauce helped it a little. They offer free white bread, pickles, and onions which is nice. I will definitely come back here! Good bbq and great prices!

    Pulled Natural Pork Sandwich

    Tasty eats! Met some friends here for lunch & it was good! I loved the smoked Turkey popper sandwich, and my friend had the meat plate with Turkey & sides. The other friends ordered a pulled pork sandwich, and a small rib plate. Everyone was happy with their choices. Service was decent, and we mostly had the place to ourselves. I'll definitely go back if I'm in the area.

    Good solid bbq plate. Not the best but pretty darn good. Brisket was nice and Barky. Ribs were ok. Mac was a bit mushy. Traded it in for slaw which was great. The star of the show was the jalapeño corn bread. Omg! Peach cobbler tasted like it had been on smoker with the sausage. No bueno

    Good barbeque, and sandwiches that are huge. Don't skip the banana pudding and cobbler. Tuesday local beer pint specials.

    The food is great if you don't mind eating in a grocery store. For the price, it's the best bbq around!

    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!
