Dream Eats: 20 Restaurants We Really Want to Come to Killeen, TX

Killeen, Texas is home to some fine restaurants, and many of the best are locally owned. Let's be honest, though: There are some places missing around here that a lot of people would like to enjoy without having to drive way out of town.

Don’t get me wrong - I love my amazing hometown, but I think I speak for all of my fellow Killeenites when I say we are in dire of need of more restaurants. Not only because we are a military town (one of the largest military towns, actually), but as I see my beautiful city growing, I don’t see the food selection really changing or expanding.

Top 20 Restaurants Central Texans Wish Would Come to Temple

A while back, I asked the good people of Temple if they could picture a good restaurant to fill the lot on North General Bruce Drive where the soon to be torn down Long John Silver's stood.

This was before it was announced that a Dutch Bros. Coffee location would open there (which was one of the places I predicted as a contender in our article).

So now Dutch Bros. is open in that spot, but the responses to my survey were interesting because they paint a picture of just how diverse Temple's population is. People recommended some familiar restaurants with locations in the surrounding area, but also a few I'd never even heard of.

Here are the top 20 results of the survey. Let's see what the good people of Temple are craving!
