What customers say?

“ Let me start off by saying, in the City of Killeen\Belton, this place has the absolute BEST sweet tea, hands down not up for debate lol, The atmosphere is homey, very "Mom & Pop" vibes which I absolutely love. Can seat around 20-40 people max, and parking is not to bad, I went with their "Junction" grilled sandwich: Garlic Toasted sour dough bread , with spicy pulled pork. *YUMMMMM* You all should definitely try this place out, great meal, great service and no issues at all! Simply amazing experience, and glad that my family and I went out and "Tried Something New" definitely a great choice as to where we went. ”

“ We went here for lunch based off of a TikTok video suggestion and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for a place that knows how to feed you this is it. You will not leave hungry. There were 4 us eating today. We had the mushroom burger, chicken fried chicken, chicken fried steak, and the passenger car burger. Everything was seasoned, hot, and fresh to the table. The mashed potatoes and gravy were homemade fresh deliciousness. Cheap it is not, but delicious it is. We'll definitely be back again. ”

“ I rally like this place for some down home cooking. The chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken is really tasty. They have the best onion rings in the area. Definitely recommend if you want some classic cooking ”

“ Cute little place. Very old nostalgic building… Only has 9 tables from what I counted. Thankfully we didn’t have to wait long when we got there. Service was a little slow getting drunk ordered but they seemed a little under staff too so we were patient. Food was good but a hair on the salty side. ”
