Killeen Native Had To Prioritize Early In Life

Bobby Butler or Bobby B, originally from Hopkinsville, Kentucky has been in Killeen for almost 30 years.

Butler, a proud graduate of Ellison high school and former basketball player for the Eagles, learned to cook by watching his grandmother.

He says he had to rush and come home to cook for his family to make sure everyone ate, while his mom worked.

 What Is Everyone's Favorite Dish At Bobby B's?

Butler says they specialize in delicious food!

He says his customers enjoy his catfish and barbecue, while others enjoy his fried chicken and smothered pork chops.

Here is a glamour shot of a catfish with macaroni and cheese and greens plate, and those are delicious fried shrimp:
