“Literally the SWEETEST staff ever. Place is super calm, service feels SO personal and the prices are amazing. Sad to see the lack of people here. I know their hours are lacking but they’re doing the best they can with what they’re given! Tonight was my first night with my husband and we felt like family right off the bat! 10/10 will be back again!“

“i haven’t been to dennys in over a decade because last time i had went, my whole family got sick and the food wasn’t the greatest. i came to this dennys in killeen on jan 19, 2025 for a birthday celebration for one of my family members and we had the greatest experience. our server, greyson, was so amazing and kind, she had a smile that seemed so genuine and pure ! then the cook who had made our food did an absolutely amazing job, even came to our table and had thanked one of my family members for a challenge because she had ordered one of her food items a certain way that is very rare/ uncommonly asked. he was a dark/ light skinned guy and he was the sweetest ever! even gave us a little back story on his cooking career. i had spoken to nae, i believe her name was, and even though the conversation was quick, she was very attentive in the conversation and kind. thank you all for the greatest experience, we will definitely be returning customers!“

“food and employee are awesome“

“If I could give them negative that's what they would get.I am not the one that complains because i used to be a server so i understand thangs happens but this was a total disaster. 1st they attempt to set us a dirty table. Then she seat our Rolls on the host table and a man was breathing over them then she try to give it to us. I should have known this wasn't going to be a good nite. I asked for my Salmon to have extra blacken they take it back they put it on the grill n she brings the same one back that is a no no in the food industry. I send everything back no sir I will Not have anything that is freaking disgusting.“

“Norma was awesome server great service very efficient and professional. Very pleased overall Thank you Marylouise“

“Had the pleasure of visiting this establishment along with my family in celebration of my granddaughter's birthday. The food was awesome as it was an eclectic mix of everything. I personally ordered the single serv Southern Fried Chicken upon a slice of toast with sweet baby carrots and seasoned rice. The chicken was buttery without being tough or hard to chew. It was delicious and melted in my mouth. Honerable mention goes out to our Server (Tony) a seasoned host and good at his job. His presentation was professional and impeccable. He accommodated all our needs with a warm smile. Let's not forget the Manager (Richard) who took the time to check with us making sure we were comfortable and offered a complimentary birthday treat of Chocolate Fudge Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream topping with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It was decadently delicious! Richard was kind and obliging making us feel at home. We enjoyed our entire birthday celebration and vowed to come back!“

“Mmmm 🤤. I was shooketh! The waffles...the chicken....slap yer mom good!“

“Great service atmosphere and food.“

“Love Y’all I broadcast my sports show from the area Raising Canes each week. The staff is wonderful and the chicken is awesome.“

“I've been here 4 times now and it’s officially in my regular rotation. Love the food and the atmosphere. I grabbed the Gold Membership on my 2nd visit—the weekly deals are totally worth it. I did have one visit where the food came out cold and took a while, but the other times have been great. Overall, highly recommend.“

“The food here is genuinely amazing. If you want food that looks as good as it tastes, you need to go here. The Philly Cheesesteak is one of the best things I've eaten here, and the number of fries they give you with each meal never disappoints. This is the only place I eat in the mall anymore and there's a good reason why.“

“I had the brisket sandwich plus pinto beans and potato salad it was the bomb 💣“

“Listen. The food is good. Is it expensive? I don’t know, my husband always pays. Is it legitimately good? Yes. Order anything at all and dip it in their house made Jalapeno ranch. You will not regret it. It’s a family friendly restaurant until like 9pm then it’s a proper bar. Pet friendly all the time. Karaoke on the weekends, a good mix of 20-30-40 year old crowd. I never feel like the oldest person here even though I am old, but the young people are also here having a good time. Good pool tables and friendly regulars. Every single bartender/staff is an absolute gem. I’ve never been a bar person, but Jokers has become our date night spot. One of the few things I’m going to miss about Killeen when we move. The music is a *little* loud on weekends but as I said, I am a late 30s old person.“

“Was sad to see the Amazing Katt is gone but she gave me a wonderful recommendation, Miss Savannah, and I definitely wasn’t let down! She’s awesome! ask for her by name. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASERETH!“

“Went many times and was told they had no chicken fried steak. This place has really turned around last month or so. Have not been told no chicken fried steak. Food quality very good.staff friendly. Only negative I can say the front door needs cleaned, but I do highly recommend“

“Applebee’s in Copperas Cove is and will forever be my favorite dining establishment! The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff always make you feel like Family! Dave and the rest of the Management are always on the floor and attending to customers or helping the staff. Whether I’m having dinner with the family or sitting at the bar enjoying a wonderful drink and company, I’m never disappointed! Definitely the BEST place to eat in
Copperas Cove!“
