First time trying Lilly Mae Kitchen we got delivery and it was still hot when the food arrived! Those ribs make you want to go back to cooking school. Flavorful tender and fresh to order. The sides were too spicy I love a little spice but not where it takes the quality away from the greens or beans. The Mac n cheese wasn’t good but tasted like boxed mac n cheeses overall I enjoyed the ribs if I order again I wouldn’t get sides make sure customers know the sides maybe spicy because my acid reflux was on 99.9999

Babyyyyy. In my Louisiana slain voice? When I tell you, Ms Lilly Mae out done herself with this food!!! Almost bit my fingers lol. It was amazing 👏 So my husband and I have date night twice a week😜 so we wanted to eat somewhere different. So I looked up restaurants downtown Killeen. This place popped up, So we heard there around 6. When we walked in Ms Lilly Mae was just sitting in the corner. 😇 We turned around and waved at her. She looked like the sweetest little lady that you ever seen and I guess her daughter. La Sonya is the one that took our order. My husband and I both got catfish plates. He got macaroni and greens, and I got pinto beans and yams, and let me tell you.😮 That fish was so good.Everything was good, but that fish O.M.G. Ms. LillyMea, you did the dang thang. 🫢 Oh, a

If you're craving authentic Southern soul food that tastes like it came straight from your grandma’s kitchen, Lilly Mae’s is a must-visit. This cozy little spot may be small in size and menu, but it delivers big when it comes to flavor and comfort. I ordered the fried pork chops, and let me tell you—these were the real deal. Perfectly seasoned and fried to golden perfection, they tasted just like the ones I remember growing up. Every bite brought back memories of Sunday dinners and family gatherings. The sides deserve just as much praise. The collard greens were tender and well-seasoned, and the candied yams? Absolutely spot-on delicious! My wife raved about her fried catfish, which was crispy on the outside and flaky inside, and her pinto beans were rich and satisfying. We didn’t get a

I recently had the pleasure of dining at LillyMae's Kitchen, and I can't stop raving about their fried catfish! The fish was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and fried to golden perfection. Each bite was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it an absolute delight. The meal came with a generous serving of macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and a slice of cornbread that complemented the catfish beautifully. Everything was packed with flavor and made me feel right at home. If you're looking for a place that serves up authentic Southern comfort food, LillyMae's Kitchen is a must-visit! I can't wait to go back for more.

I am in town for training and wanted something that is not mainstream. That is how I found this location. It was delicious and the gentleman were very welcoming. The reason for the four stars for atmosphere is because of the music that was playing. Not everyone that enters your facility listens to that kind of music.
