Ernie's Fried Chicken

I used to frequent this establishment often, until the older gentleman was really rude to me a few years ago. I started going to the Killeen location, but then it closed. This chicken was some of the best, if not the best, in the area. It was always crispy, flavorful, and juicy. The sides, however, have never been good to me. I gave the sides multiple opportunities, but nothing was as flavor packed as the chicken. I've even tried the breakfast tacos and burritos. They didn't disappoint at all. I was in the area and hungry, so I decided to stop by for a two-piece. The service was faster than previous, but my chicken was soggy on one side. The crispy side was great and what I remembered, but the soggy side looked like an elderly person, and the skin was kind of mushy. It wasn't a complete di

Ernies Fried Chicken 08-02-24 I stopped by to get lunch It’s a small place but nice. I used the order window and waited in my car till they called my name. We had; Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Fries. Tasted like processed Steak that came frozen. But it was good with the gravy and potatoes. Steak Finger Basket with Fries. Same as the Chicken Fried Steak 9 Piece Chicken Tenders. Tender and good. I also got ½ Dz Chicken Livers that were battered well and had good flavor. I Ordered the Catfish Only which came with Tarter Sauce and Two Hushpuppies. Good Cornmeal Batter and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All in all it was OK. Nothing special but still good. I would go back to try their Fried Chicken and Breakfast Tacos! The employee that waited on me was very fr

I had the 4pc chicken tenders and fries. Man i was expecting puny little ole tenders like you normally get. Nope these were huge. You really dont need a side when you get the tenders. And you don't get just a measely hand full of skinny fast food fries. These are thick fries more like what you see in a steak house but still stick fries not wedges. They give you enough gravy to dip your tenders in and the fries (if you so choose) and still enough to lick out of the bowl it'sjust thick enough to stick but thin enough to drip a little aka just right. Seasoning was good too. Prices are good for the amount of food you get.

The best breakfast around and worth the drive from Salado! They remind me of the restaurants I would visit as a kid in S Texas. Definitely my favorite spot for a taco or burrito, and the Fat Ernie never disappoints! Make sure you call ahead so you don’t have to wait! (If they’re busy you might have to call twice.)

My people from Temple/Belton area! I was recommended by you guys to try Ernie’s. Especially the fat Ernie breakfast burrito! What a load of garbage. Sloppy mashed potatoes, eggs if you can find any, bacon that was very mid, and rude service to combine it all! Look at the picture and tell me you can differentiate all the ingredients in this hot mess wrapped in a tortilla. Then I thought the salsa they gave us in these tiny little cups would help save it a little was like spicy tomato water! 🤮 Please Temple/Belton people get your taste buds back and stop eating and paying good money at these places serving you garbage and damand these people serve good food and good service!
