★★★★★ 5.0 Max Weisbrod · Dec 2025

I have no idea what negative reviews are talking about. Probably the best service I’ve gotten at a restaurant since COVID. The food’s alright, better than practically anything else on the corridor. But the service SHINES. A ton of attention, everything was fresh, nothing sat in the window. The kitchen is orderly, i got the mac and cheese, and it is fantastic. A creamy béchamel sauce, great flavor and piping hot. The brisket was nice and lean, with a solid flavor. By no means the worst bbq i have had. I’ll be back! I almost didn’t come because of the negative reviews, and I’m glad I ignored them. They even packed my soda for me to take with me. No clue what world y’all are living on giving less than a 4 for this spot.

First time here..really nice and good food..servers kept going to the wrong table and forgot who got water and who had ice tea. There was only 2 of us. Other than that good parking and right off I 35 north. I will come back.

I had an amazing experience at Klem Mikeska’s BBQ in Temple. I ordered the triple meat plate with BBQ sirloin tri-tip, brisket, and smoked turkey – 3/4 pound of meat in total for only $20. The portion was incredibly generous for the price, and everything was delicious. Service was kind and quick, and the decoration of the place added to the authentic BBQ atmosphere. Totally recommended if you’re visiting Temple and want to enjoy a real Texas BBQ meal.

This restaurant was very quiet and cozy with only a few guests. I was met with a pleasant smile from the greeter and seated quickly. My waitress was named Daisy. She was very kind, polite, and professional. How refreshing is that nowadays when people can be rude and uninviting. Daisy was a pleasant opposite. I must give this young lady her props because she had such pleasant disposition. Now, to grade the meal. I had the brisket and smoked turkey, which came with two sides. I wasn't too sure if I would like the brisket, so Daisy offered to have me try a sample before completing my order. That was very thoughtful and considerate. I also asked if I could have my food hot and not lukewarm or cold. A lot of restaurants have dropped the ball serving its customers cold food. In my opinion, this
