14 Best American Restaurants in Temple

“My wife and I love this deli. I have yet to try something that I didn't like. The Ruben's and hamburgers are the best and the desserts are some of the best I've ever had. The service is good although sometimes the food is a little slow coming out when it is busy, but that is because this is a small deli and everything is handmade from fresh. Once you get the food, you understand because of its quality. It has a deli/diner ambiance. Check out the daily specials!“

“Bill's Grill 04-03-24 Me and a couple of my grandsons had lunch here today! It's a small place but has plenty of room. Has that café diner feeling. Everyone was friendly. Our waitress was very friendly and took care of us right away. I had The Chicken Fried Steak & 2 eggs with Hash Browns, and the best buttery Biscuits. My middle grandson had The Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich with Fries! The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Really Good! My youngest Grandson had The 8 oz Bill's Big Texas Burger w/Fries. Burger was flavorful and cooked just right. All was good and we enjoyed it. So many things to choose from. I want to try so many different things! We will be back.“

“This place is amazing! Ordered the sampler appetizer which was a meal in itself and amazing to top it off. Fried pickles, fried mushrooms, and Joey peppers were on point. The house sauce has just enough spice to give it the perfect kick. For lunch we ordered a single patty hamburger and triple meat with fries and they were made to perfection. Friendly staff and extremely clean and looks very new inside. They only except cash or check but have an atm in the entry. Totally worth the hassle considering all of this was only $40 and you can easily spend that at Whataburger. Will definitely revisit. Great job!Parking: Covered parking next to the building or huge parking out back.“

“We were staying in Temple but didn't want the old standard chain restaurants for dinner so we looked for one of those quaint Mom and Pop joints that always serves great food and friendly, down-home atmosphere. Boy did we find a great one! Out of town but not too far out! The Oscar Store was perfect! From the friendly greeting and personable service from our waitress to the food and prices we were well pleased. My wife had the chicken fried steak and, believe it or not, I had my tastebuds set for catfish but subbed for liver and onions. Everything was spot on! (We had heard that the fried catfish might be a bit skimpy and I was hungry so I went for the liver.) As we left we met the cashier who happened to be the owner and we had the kind of conversation that makes you feel like you've known each other forever. The place is just what you would expect and tiny country town to have for their bright spot in the area. Rustic and country decor, clean and well appointed with plenty of space to not feel congested. Y'all need to try this one if you're anywhere near Temple/Belton.“

“We had so much fun. The atmosphere was great, the band wasn't good but the music they played while the band was on break was fantastic, the drinks and food was good and of course the people there were friendly. We most definitely will be going back.“

“Met a group of 20+ of my highschool classmates on a Friday for lunch. Parking was not a problem and there was plenty of room inside as well as outside seating of desired.We really enjoyed our time together!Our single waitress did an awesome job taking our orders and keeping our glasses full. We received our orders in an appropriate amount of time for such a big group. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I must see that my Philly Cheese Steak was awesome, one of the best! My husband had a grilled chicken place which he also enjoyed.“

“Very good food and service“

“My waitress this morning was Courtney. Wow, great spirit, so polite, so patient, so funny. I started making Megg's my go-to place in Temple for "OMG" great food and A-LOT of menu. Courtney is my waitress...Parking: HUGE parking availabilityKid-friendliness: I saw kids“

“We have not been to a Longhorn Steakhouse in quite some time. We were not disappointed. Billy, our outgoing, helpful server, gave us his undivided attention. Although we were 4 guests we ordered many delicious dishes. All our food was cooked to perfection. The crispy brussel sprouts were an added delightful side dish. Thanks so much, Longhorn Steakhouse, for a wonderful experience. You shall see us again.“

“We had phenomenal service and always enjoy the ambiance, drinks, and food at BJs. We have been coming every week for family date night and our toddler loves the appetizer plate and pizookie to share. We had Hannah this week and she was stellar. Great service, recommendations and timing (especially important with a toddler).“

“This place is a lot of fun. My son loves the games. The batting cages are kinda slow so that's a bummer but we'll still go since theres no other batting cages like these around. Food is ok for standard bar food. Will be back again soon for the games.“

“The lady working was extremely nice, and very knowledgeable and helpful. The meals were actually really good, including the "fit meals" too! Normally a "healthier" meal with replacements for the noodles or something is very hit or miss, but we loved the ones we got, and we loved that they were all 400 calories or under. The turkey meatballs would probably my favorite. The baked goods like the cookies were so so good as well. We live in Killeen and don't go to Temple often, but we will be stopping here every time we do now!“

“Can't beat this place for quality meats at a fair price. I love the $55 pack. I get lots of stuff. They've been serving Temple for decades and I hope they are around for many more years. Maybe my favorite store in all of Temple Land.“

“We always enjoy eating here. Love the rolls and there is always large portions. We always leave with full happy tummies.Parking: We went at a peak time so parking lot was very full.Kid-friendliness: Great place to take kids. It’s such a lively atmosphere.“
