    One of their big combo plates!

    If there's one thing I enjoy, it's hot chicken. Originally created in the southernmost parts of Tennessee, honey hot chicken blends the flavors of spices, sweetness, and crispy fried chicken to create a flavor filled treat that always hits. When I heard that Urban Bird opened up in Killeen, I was really excited that this city close to home had finally gotten their own Hot Chicken spot!coated right in the plaza closest to the highway off Fort Hood st, Urban Bird sits comfortably in the heart of Killeen, hoping to establishing itself as a Central Texas staple. The inside of the establishment offers bright colors with pictures of the food and gimmick sayings associated with the restaurant. The seating is very modern with there being two rows of booths and an ordering bar with an open view of the kitchen. I only wish that the menu was not at the front when you walk in, because it does not allow much room for many people to view it at the same time, maybe only a few people. The service there was great! Katoira did a great job assisting me with my drink, asking me about my day, and essentially showing me some good ole fashioned Texan hospitality. The prices were a little far fetched for a place like Killeen. When you think of Central Texas, you usually don't think of people who are high class. Selling a single tender for $4 is a little unrealistic, and selling drinks on the side, fries on the side, and making a basic tender combo only include 2 tenders will not resonate well with this community. These are the prices that I would expect in a place like California, not so much Killeen. However, that is not to say that this business won't thrive, as there are people willing to pay high dollar for their food! The food, was a little underwhelming. I was disappointed by the lack of flavor in my #Sando especially when I received the slider dripping with honey and #BirdSauce. The fries were done well but were little in quantity, and the drink was really good. I definitely plan on trying this place in the near future, because I want to give Killeen businesses a chance! This is my home, and I want to see the food scene diversify and flourish!

    The service is the issue at this location. Very Slow, forgetful, inattentive, and just not the best customer service experience.

    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.

    Pollo Campero has held a special place in my heart since childhood, serving as my go-to chicken…read morejoint during my formative years. 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.
