Food is good,a little more fries would be better Service is great,the lady with the black hair and ponytail needs to be a little nicer,she always seems mad and treats the other workers kinda like a bully to them. Otherwise I love this place To the young man with glasses and curly hair,you are a fantastic worker don't let that lady distract you.Thank you for that great customer service on 4/13 in the evening when I went in. read more

Dont go on a Sunday evening...showed up and the order wasn't even started... staff was all lost trying to find my order. First and last time I go here read more

First time trying this BBQ place. I highly recommend this place. The ribs are even better than Rudy's BBQ. The meat falls off the bone, their most brisket is great, the sausage is great, the coleslaw and potato salad is the best I ever had. I can only find two things that need to be addressed. The BBQ sauce has a little bit too much vinegar flavor for my taste and a little bit to watery of a sauce. Other than that, every was great. read more

I didn't like it. The food was plain nasty. I don't know what that was they called peach cobbler, it looked like oat meal was sprinkled on top of it. The beans were nasty, and the mac n cheese was hard. I will never go there again read more

Meat has no real flavor. you can't taste any seasoning. The only side worth purchasing was the Mac & Cheese. We'll wait quite a bit of time before we eat there again. BBQ Hub would be my recommendation for good BBQ and sides in that area of Killeen. Service was friendly and was good. The facility was clean but, plain with no frills. Not a keeper for BBQ Meals read more

Petty's has great food cooked fresh and quickly, excellent service and shows respect for military personnel. This is a frequent favorite for our family now! read more

Very expensive not worth it the bananas pudding cheesecake what very good! The pork just didn't have too much flavor! Just wasn't impressed with the 25 dollar plate I bought read more

I love Petty's. The food is decent BBQ, but the service is excellent and the lunch deals are unbeatable.

Overall the food was good. I got the combo 2 meats came with: Small scoop of pinto beans Small scoop of potato salad 3 ribs (2 medium size and 1 small) = 1lb 11 pieces of thin/medium sliced sausage I don't think it was worth $22 The service was good. The area was clean and well kept. read more

Excellent food!!! From the beans to the meat it's all good. Just try the banana cheesecake!!!! Taste wonderful!!! The place is clean every time I go and the staff is always a delight. read more

Service was terrible. Employees couldn't have cared less about customers. They were out of almost everything, including sides, desserts and meats. Owner tried to explain it off but were just excuses. read more

Great food! Service was friendly and so were we! Anybody 1 starring this place is full of shit. Behave like a gentleman and be respectful and be treated the same. Act like a jerk and you get what you get. My family raved about the food for two days! read more

Wow. I'm not a brisket fan but, this was phenomenal. Pulled pork was delicious but a touch dry. Only three sauces, "spicy" was spicy but still sweet and not overpowering, the standard "sweet" is just that. A basic, to the point sweet barbecue sauce that hits all the right marks. Mustard sauce was again, a basic mustard sauce sweetened just enough to knock down the tart a bit. The rest, baked Mac n cheese was a tad dry but also very chewy and cheesy, the slaw was fresh and delicious. Worth a drive if you're in the area. read more

Ribs were uncooked. No flavor. All I tasted was pepper and whatever it was cooked on. The max and cheese was good. Haven't had good southern ribs in a long time and this place left a bad taste I my mouth and I'm still hungry. read more

This place is other new management and ownership that are not quite sure what southern barbecue is. They also have had a serious price increase and the service is not nice. The guys that had it before did a great job and it tasted much better. read more

Little local bbq place where they are cooking the food right there! Pit is on the side of the building as it should be. Service was good, restaurant small but decent, food was ok. read more

Friendly staff, and the food is phenomenal! Best chicken I have had in a while. The baked Mac and cheese was like home cooked! Price wasn't bad either. read more

First time going , went around 1 o clock . I ordered a half a pound of chicken and moist brisket. Along with backed Mac and cheese and coleslaw. Chicken was kind of dry but fell straight of the bone. The brisket was good along side with there bbq sauce. The backed mac and cheese was really good and the Coleslaw was still crunchy and nice and sweet. Honestly the bbg was the best part. Would I go back? Probably so read more

Verrrry knowledgeable staff, great tasting food offered in nice portions! First time eating here after living in this community for 7yrs; so sad I waited this long to enjoy such awesome food. Go there!!! read more

So it was good BBQ, but was disappointed they only had greens on Sunday's. They were very nice, and greeting. It's small, but just what you expected for a small BBQ joint. read more

They have great BBQ and the service is pretty good. The restaurant is nice place to service the food. That sound was the first thing that caught my attention when I was taking clothes to the cleaners so I "had" to make time to go in and get food out of where those awesome aromas were coming from. OMG was I glad I did. The food is the TRUTH and worth every dime. Thank you all for cooking in this community. I will continue to support and tell others to as well. read more

The food is very good. I had the ribs and enjoyed them! The Dr Pepper bbq sauce enhanced the ribs as well! The service was good and recommended items! This helped me to decide what to order! The room was nice as well. I recommend Petty's! read more

Love the sausage and the potato salad is to die for but the cornbread I do not recommend at all

Thank you, Yelp Search, for helping me find Petty's BBQ. This place is pretty damn good and I've had my fair share of wood smoked low and slow BBQ between here and there. If you're gonna be in town for a visit, then bookmark this place and check them out. They're relatively easy to get to, and they should keep the wood smoker out front because it's the landmark I needed to find. During my temporary work assignment in Central Texas, I made it a point to stop by a local place that was not available in my hometown for grabbing snacks before retiring to the hotel after another 12-hour workday. Mission accomplished and I visited Petty's once more for lunch before driving to the airport for my return flight. I sampled a variety of smoked barbecue, homemade side dishes and an icy glass (or two) of sweet tea. Photos attached. I have to admit, the amount of sugar in a proper tea recipe is much more than I'm accustomed to, but it certainly is refreshing on a hot day and that sweetness compliments the savory food and hearty sauces nicely. The vibe is super casual and the folks working there are nice. On my dinner visit, it looked like they were closing shop early. Maybe calling ahead to see if your favorite dish is available because they make limited quantities, then that's it for the day. I asked for a sampler platter of what was left and dude hooked it up. I tried my best to devour what I could, but had to cram the leftovers in the hotel mini-fridge as 4th meal snacks. I could have gone anywhere else for dinner or lunch, and Petty's is the only spot that I visited twice during my brief Texas stay. read more

In the words of Keith Jackson: "Whooaa Nellie!!" This little place in Killeen pumps out some biggest BBQ flavors in the area, and I'm not just talking BBQ, their Cheesecake Banana Pudding is Blue Ribbon quality - - a show stopper. On my way back to Austin from Killeen I used Yelp to help guide the way, looking for the highest rated opportunities on the beaten path. Petty's BBQ was tops on the list. It's right off 195 South but you gotta pay attention to the street signs or else you'd easily miss it. Small lot on a corner, it's on a big concrete foundation slab, and there's a "backyard" area that's fenced in where 2 large smokers sit, along w/ all the necessary supplies needed to make BBQ the right way. No pressure cookers here, that's a good sign, I had a good feeling about this. Place is small, about 5-6 picnic tables worth, I look over the menu and there's lots of offerings. I choose the 2 meat plate (ribs and brisket) w/ 2 sides (poto salad + philin mac'n'cheese) w/ cornbread to go, along w/ a small banana pudding and cheesecake banana pudding. I was so hungry that when I got my order I chose to sit down and and have a few bites before hitting the road, and maybe save the rest for dinner or lunch. That's when things took a turn...... The ribs were fantastic! Fall of the bone, smokey, and well seasoned. The brisket was moist, juicy, smokey, not too much seasoning on it but that's what pepper is for. The mac'n'cheese was very good, and I sampled both puddings (banana and cheesecake banana) - which were outta this world. The 2 guys running the counter watched me and were curious, they asked for my feedback. I barely spoke a word as I was finishing the last rib and just looked up at them and said: "I think I'm going to have to give you some more of my money....". They laughed. I'm glad I tried because now it's good enough to order extras to take home for the rest of the week, and I would have been a sad boy had I waited till I got home. The chicken was awesome - well seasoned and juicy. The pork shoulder is full of smokey goodness, light on the seasoning spice, but the spicy sausage rocked! It's not Elgin Sausage - but someone else from TX, it was great to try something new and tasty. I put my 2nd to-go order in just in the nick of time, soon after half the town showed up asking for BBQ and these boys ended up running out. That's what it's like when your BBQ and cuisine is that good - - everyone wants some and you can't keep enough on-hand cuz supplies don't last. I've never seen so many people order so much BBQ by the pound. I'm very impressed w/ Petty's BBQ - - literally some of the best I've ever had in Central TX! read more

BBQ was good. Lots of food for the money. Sides were good. Some sides and bbq was already out. So go early if want certain items such as ribs and sausage. Friendly service and restaurant was clean. read more

Ordered through door dash - order was made and picked up quickly. Wouldn't eat here again - I got all fat with barely any brisket to eat; the ribs were mid at best. Fries were good. The Mac and cheese was meh. Pulled pork sandwich was okay. Just not worth trying again. read more

Hidden Gem! A tiny cooking machine met us at the ordering counter. She took our order and we quickly had our food. Beef ribs, cream corn, Mac n cheese, brisket, hot sausage and green beans. And don't forget dessert - banana pudding. Everything was so good! The brisket was so moist, the sauce was so good. The ribs had a great smoky flavor. Good ol fashioned white bread on the side to sop up the juice. The Mac n cheese was so creamy and obviously home made. My husband said the cream corn reminded him of his MeMaw's. Unfortunately it reminded him of how he had to shuck all the corn but it was worth it! I had to take a doggy bag for sooo much meat but I stopped in time for the banana pudding. It was so creamy and moist! I wished I lived closer but I was just passing through to Dallas. read more

Perry's sits at the end of a small strip mall. It's not a "trendy" look. But do need trendy when the food is good? The prices are on par with other BBQ places. The portions are generous. The restaurant is clean. The staff are friendly. You don't need trendy when you're good. read more

Great smell didn't care for the lady she started saying I'm not your f waiter when asked for a water but food tasted great and authentic smoked cooking read more

I would not recommend this as a good BBQ. Racist sign at a counter combined with rude attitude. Save your money, eat anywhere else. There is no hope for this place. The food was tasteless. We will not be going back. read more

I stopped by this place today. I thought the food was rather bland. I ordered the rib plate that came with two sides. Ribs were just ok nothing special. The mashed potatoes were good but the Mac and cheese was watery and had no flavor. The two employees weren't too friendly and the customer service in general could be better. I liked the lemonade and the mustard/barbecue sauce the most. I wouldn't recommend to friends their is definitely better places here in the city. read more

We had a party of 8 (four couples) when we dropped in at about 2:00 pm on a weekday. We knew it was going to be good by the smell that hit us as we opened the door. The large sampler plate is the way to go for two people, there was plenty of food for both. Our favorite was the Pulled Pork and the Pork Ribs, both had a nice peppery bite. The pinto beans were an unexpected surprise, they were way better than your usual BBQ place pinto beans. If you are looking for dessert, don't miss the strawberry rhubarb cobbler. read more

Great ribs and service. The manager Kenny was very nice and helpful kudos to him and the rest of team. I mean the ribs were fall off the bone goodness in a word read more

Amazing food and service. Mike is absolutely amazing. They treat you like your at home eating.

Excellent BBQ and very kind, accommodating service for our complicated group order. Everyone loved the food and his grandmother's recipe strawberry rhubarb cobbler was delicious. Love the BBQ sauce. Ribs, brisket and chicken were so good. read more

Sometimes the lack of good food can be made up for in ambience, but this place lacks both. The hot version of the barbecue sauce was great and the pulled pork was above average. The sausage was below average and pork ribs were average, at best. read more

This is a hole in the wall that no one should miss. Before you even walk in the restaurant you can smell the smokers rolling so you know it's gonna be awesome. Great and friendly service when you walk in with a solid menu. Great ribs, chicken and brisket. The sides were just as good as the meat. The banana pudding was on point and the sweet tea was perfect. I could not recommend more. It's a must stop in Killeen. read more

Never going here again! Had ribs fatty and bland taste. Mac & Cheese and green beans not homemade. Terrible experience!

Good service and good food! We had the brisket, pulled pork and sausage. All were SO good! Mac and cheese and green beans were also great!
