Fort Hood Texas is home to the largest military installation in the country. This means a lot of families come to this Central Texas area to call home at least for a minimum number of years, as instructed by the military. Many come here looking for great places to take their family and looking for “good eats” as we sometimes call it in Texas.
Community businesses have recognized this need and there are many great places for kids to eat here in the CenTex area. If you’re on the hunt for the best deals on restaurants near Fort Hood, here are some insider tips for you. As a mom to four, I know how tough it can be to please everyone and also stay in budget.
