Brick and Forge Taproom - Killeen

I’m always on the hunt for local dining, Brick and Forge Taproom hits the mark perfectly. This is the Killeen location, with the feel of a much larger franchise. The atmosphere inside has that of a relaxing bar on one side, with a family-friendly restaurant on the other. The menu has something for everyone selection wise. The hardest part is deciding what you’re actually in the mood for once you read them all. We went with a beer each, fried pickles, which I’ll admit I judge a place on their fried pickles, and these did not disappoint in the least. The chicken fried chicken was massive and perfectly cooked to be crispy and yet juicy. The sweet potato fries served with a marshmallow dip was a first and set a new must have when dining out, the pork nachos in the picture is only a half serving with the chips being crispy yet light. The Carmel fries, you’ll either love them or hate them, but one bite, and I was hooked. For all this with two beers and coming in cents over $50 was so much more food than at least we could eat, knock off the beers, and it would have been under $40 before tip. New must go for me, and anyone looking to get a good meal with amazing value! If you’ve ever gone somewhere and nothing on the menu sounds good, this won’t happen here. You’ll find something as they have that variety to hit what you’re craving.
