Ernie’s Fried Chicken

We finally made it to Ernie’s after 10 years of talking about it because we’re not in the area. We were excited that a location opened in Temple so I could FINALLY try this place out!!! The owners of this place are so friendly & accommodating which was already impressive for me being a first timer. Their fried chicken had the perfect crunch and meat was juicy. It was so delicious in fact that when we left the car for less than 2 minutes our little naughty 4-legged monsters dug in and are my extra piece of chicken & roll. 😭this just means the next time we’re passing through the Belton/Temple area we have to stop by and pick up a burrito & fried chicken. 😅

Best fried chicken I’ve ever had! It took a while to come out but it was well worth the wait. I’ll definitely be coming back.

I haven't had a fat ernie since 95....and from the first bite i had such a nostalgic moment. It tasted the same as it did when I was in Junior High School. Even the salsa is the same. Thanks for keeping it original. I will definitely go back next time im driving through Temple.

Nice little restaurant, chicken was seasoned well and cooked just right, Okra was not burnt and the rolls they give with their lunch meal was soft and fresh.

I ate so much food! Catfish could been fried harder but I ate every bite. The okra was just as good! Great customer service even at busiest time. Ate it so no picture’
