I won't be back. We decided to bring our food home. The service was terrible. Our waitress had only one other table. I waited for her to bring me a beer and it took her over 10 minutes. There was NOT but maybe 6 tables in the whole place with people in it. Monday night foodball was on...and you couldn't hear it for the loud music. We got our food but it was luke warm. We had all we could take so we got bags and took our food home. I could have duplicated the food we got...read full review

The food is to die for , from hard boiled eggs with Cajun butter to the crab pho boy and the 1/2 lb small boil . It’s always fire and fresh . One of my favorite places in Killeen and it never disappoints 💯🍻🦾🦾

The service was terrible, got seated and had time to look at the menu, waited for some to get our drink order, no one came… waited a little while still no one came… the restaurant was pretty much empty, the only people in the restaurant were the manager and the employees on their phones. After waiting a little more time, my wife and I decided to leave. The manager didn’t seem to care that no one came or even acknowledged us.
