Spec’s Wine, Liquor, and Finer Food

If you see Lori as your cashier, change lanes. She is VERY rude no matter if youre an active duty soldier or a 18 month old child. She lectured us about how our 18 month old boy in my wifes arms wasnt allowed to touch the box of candy we were purchasing for him. She had an attitude to the soldier in front of me for no reason. Very disappointed. When asked who the manager was, i was told «uhhh why»

Spec’s most certainly does not lack when it comes to selection. It’s almost like a liquor version of Sam’s Club. I could get lost in this paradise more often. No I’m not an alcoholic thank you very much. The prices are reasonable and I never follow my rules of leaving with just ONE bottle. I’m such a bad girl. It could be an eye sore but no said eye sore was a bad thing. I’m a brown liquor kind of gal so I never go past the front of the store so I couldn’t tell you too much about beer selection.

Could easily be 5 stars with the location being as big as it is. But after visiting specs in temple, it puts our killeen location to shame. They carry a wider variety of craft beer, craft beer glasses (the spiegleu, just so much more. This specs in killeen has lots of empty shelves that neex to be used for beer accessories. And it also needs more craft beer, especially with it becoming more popular nowdays. I mean its just a shame they don’t use this building to its full potential.

whoa lost a star, closed on sundays?! cmonnnn. drove 15 miles not knowing they were closed on sundays (no hours on Unilocal) and why would i bother calling a liquor to see if they were open? i dont get it!

This location used to have a grill and actually had good burgers and fries along with many other fresh made items but for some reason they did away with the grill and kept the deli which was also very good. Several months after closing the grill down lo and behold they shut the deli down! WTH? They were very busy and people were upset about the grill then the deli being closed down. Man they had the best deviled eggs around too.
As for the store there is a huge selection but if you don’t know where something is located or if they are carrying a certian product don’t bother asking the employees because they don’t know either. Once I did get help finding a red wine but I haven’t seen that employee in over a year.
So if you know what you want and exactly where it’s located then it’s a good place to shop I guess.

Been shopping at Spec’s for years so was excited to see a store open in Killeen Texas. Dropped by today for some supplies and was very surprised at the whole experience. Beer cooler looked as if there had been a run on groceries after a natural disaster. Numerous empty shelves. Did ask for a selection which a worker did manage to get from the back cooler. Proceed to look for some specialty items, anchovies and other things. Could not locate them so ask at the customer service desk. Clerk replied «well, I really don’t know» and that was it. No effort whatsoever to find it or solicit help from another. Did the same thing at the register and got the same treatment. This is not typical from the service I have received at the Round Rock Texas store or Austin. This was nothing short of apathy. Pitiful really. Totally unsatisfactory. Serious management evaluation needed for this store. This is not typical of the Spec’s I have visited before.

It’s like a candy store for adults. So many different alcoholic beverages, and they even have some rare and exotic foods there. Hell, I even stumbled across a bag of bacon flavored sunflower seeds. I love this place.

This liquor and speciality food store was really nice. They had pickled garlic in the canned olive section that I was unable to find at any other nearby grocery stores. They have a huge selection of wine and beer as well as liquor, glassware and tools to go along with your drinks. The cashier was friendly to boot.

In regard to its humidor, this place has THE best prices in the area. Great selection in regard to beer, wine, spirits, etc.

Fair selection although that had «Just run out» of the wine that I wanted to purchase. Intractable policy of showing a driver’s license when using a credit card, which can be very inconvenient. I will NEVER return to this store. Poor policies cost $$.

Nice place. The workers that are walking around are very friendly. Has a huge selection. I will come back.

First time at any Spec’s whatsoever, and totally overwhelmed with the selection. I could spend hours just looking around and reading all the labels of international gourmet items and delicacies; wondering how it tastes. Yup, I’m a total foodie.
I don’t really care for wine, unless it’s a Moscato (Bottega Petalo Moscato Spumante, to be exact). And, as far as liquor, a SOCO will do. Maybe Spec’s should hold wine tastings so I can broaden my palate.
I came with a full stomach, so the deli wasn’t calling my name. I’ll give it a try some other time. The menu looked good, though.
My companion was on the hunt for a great Cuban cigar. They have a humidor located in the middle of the store. There’s literally hundreds of cigars in there and we gave up trying to figure out which one to pick. Off we went to find an employee… Found one right outside the humidor and asked him if he knew anything about cigars. Apparently, he did not; or anyone else for that matter.

I could spend all day in here checking out the variety, not just of spirits, beers, and wines, but small specialties from around the world.
This is a DEFINITE pre birthday, special event, any holiday stop!
They accept credit cards, but cash is king and brings a discount! Also, you can get a Specs card for additional discounts on various items.

I am sorry to say that I will no longer be patronizing this Spec’s location in Killeen. I am from Austin and have always had excellent experiences with the locations there. Unfortunately, the cashier tonight was extremely rude to me. I honestly do not understand why as I was only purchasing one jar of salsa — it was your standard, everyday checkout by all accounts. I cannot handle being treated in such a rude manner without cause; therefore, I am unable to recommend this location.

I had very high expectations before I went to Spec’s. If my standard had been Wal-​Mart, I would be thrilled. Unfortunately, my standard is Costco-​size alcohol warehouse with thousands of varieties of beer and even more wine.
Spec’s gets 3 stars for its wine selection and gourmet foods– nice assortment of cheeses and cured meats, especially for this area.
Beer selection left me sorely disappointed. They had a few Belgian ales (Chimay– which pretty much everyone carries, St. Bernardus, etc.). Was hoping to find Guiness Foreign Extra, which is widely distributed after its debut in 2010. no luck. Some quirky beers from tiny breweries, which might have had potential, but not the kind of place where you will find exactly what you are looking for (unless it is Chimay or Red Stripe).

Spec’s is the bomb. Doesn’t matter where you live in Texas, if you can get to a Spec’s, get to a Spec’s.
After I created an affliction for Tito’s vodka while still stationed in Oklahoma, I paid about $ 48 for a fifth. Spec’s, $ 28. hooray.
Plus, gourmet foods that you don’t need until you try them. Their beer selection isn’t as broad as some larger Spec’s stores, none the less it’s pretty good. I don’t bother with the Class Six on-​post any longer, just a waste of time and too generic. Not only that, the Class Six employees know shit about shit. everywhere, all the time, at any AAFES facility.
Oh. my bad. Spec’s!!!

Don’t normally review liquor stores but this place is a breath of fresh air. You won’t find everything you want here (you’ll have to venture to Austin for that) but the selection dwarfs the competition. The prices better the competition as well. They have a deli, plenty of food, sodas, and things unrelated to alcohol. Every time I have been there they have samples and the staff is very friendly and amicable.

This place is huge! The selection is amazing. I love looking at the specialty food items the best even though it is primarily a liquor store. The staff is super helpful and the store was squeaky clean and bright.
You can get discounts for paying with cash or debit which I love. You can also get discounts using their spec keyring card on certain marked items. Love this place!

I love this place! It offers everything! The cheeses and meats they offer are top notch. I never expected to find some of these things in Killeen, or even a place like this here. So it is a welcomed business! I will definitely be going here often! Especially since my 21^st birthday is soon! ;)

Love, love, love this place! I’ve been to several locations around the state and this is by far my favorite!
You will find every spirit and wine imaginable. Plus, gourmet cheeses, meats, condiments and a full deli-​a deli that will make you one of 22 fabulous sandwiches for take-​out or for eating in their dining area.
Prices vary, but overall you will find prices cheaper than Sam’s, Costco, the Class 6 and local liquor stores. Gourment foods of course are a little more than a grocery store, but you won’t find these items at a grocery.
The staff are always warm and friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
If you’re still shopping at a liquor store, you’re missing out!
