“Good steak and friendly service“

“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!“

“This was my first experience here at backporch, Madison and Day took care of me and they were awesome! I will be back to see them anytime they work. Thank you for the great experience ladies! keep the good vibes up!“

“Great service atmosphere and food.“

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

“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.“

“This was a fantastic place the food and the people where fantastic We will miss u all. Even my service dog always Liked the place she will miss all of u to.that was one place We all loved“

“My colleagues and I always want wings when we go on business trips (monthly) and we seem to end up at a lot of Pluckers places between Houston and central Texas. This one stood out for not as great reasons as the one in Houston. Our food took a little longer than we are used to and our server disappeared for considerable amounts of time. I don't remember us even getting a refill. But she did suggest a great ice cream place named Rock and Roll Ice Cream Parlor in Killeen. That suggestion was a redeeming quality but I would have liked a refill as well. Oh yeah, she did suggest some great flavors for the wings as well.“

“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!“

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

“Jokers is an awesome place to kick back a few with your buddies and have a good time. The vibe is good, the staff are friendly and can land a joke, and the food is good with brick oven and wings as my top recommended food options. 8.5/10 definitely recommend!

Food: 4.5/5
Atmosphere: 4.5/5

“We went here Sunday as a group of 4, and had the absolute best experience, our waiter met us at the door and held it for us, my mother in laws burger had ketchup and she didn’t want ketchup she had asked them just wipe off the ketchup add mustard that’s fine, the made her a whole new burger and fries, we never had to ask for drink refill, we got out chips and salsa refilled twice! I wish I could remember our waiters name, he was phenomenal and the reason we definitely will be back in hopes he’s there, he is an entire vibe by himself and you will have a great time with him around. Kudos to Chilis for hiring such a great waiter! We truly had a great experience and most of it was him and the food was delicious!“

“Went to the Killeen location and to begin , this was my first time , apon telling the host she informed me of all the things they do and how wonderful the company is ! While the host was amazing, I had an issue with my server , the restaurant was almost empty and it still took him over 25 minutes to even get our drink order and another 15 before we got them and was able to order, when ordering he made a point to make me feel bad about my food allergy (had to modify a sandwich) then got the order wrong. While he was absolutely unprofessional and had no business working there , the manager on call was quick to fix the issue ! 10/10 will come back for the way he handled the situation and made me a happy customer!“

“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.“

“Cool place , easy vibes and good food . Has a stupid policy though of 25% gratuity on $100 tabs which is very stupid considering 2 people will break that with food and drink.“

“Really good and I really like the place and the people who always smiling and always really helpful especially Angelica she’s the best and always made it funny and fun and always never give up to smile and she’s an awesome waitress and she’s just the goat“

“Just wanted to take the time to shoutout Tye at the Bush's Chicken on Clear Creek. This young man was extremely helpful when I placed my order and went above and beyond to ensure that my food was prepared correctly and in a timely manner. He was also extremely respectful, which is a breath of fresh these days. On behalf of my family and I, thank you again Tye!“

“Excellent atmosphere, cool, light familiar music, greeted by management as we entered, very pleasant young lady, she seated us instantly in close proximity as I use a cane.
Waitress, Lynn, was very pleasant and upbeat, making suggestions and taking care to make us comfortable, getting drinks before taking our main course food order.
I had a few side requests which Lynn adhered to very graciously.
Main course for me was Admiral's Feast which was fried to perfection, the fries were an absolute wonderful.
Walt's favorite shrimp was picture perfect and tasted even better, the clams were to die for, I wait sometimes too long in between visits to Red Lobster to have fried clams, and the baby scallops were in the same category as everything else, tastes as good if not better than it looks. And the flounder was excellent A+++. I don't know how they do it but it is better each time than it was the time before and all of my visits are superb to say the least.
Wonderful atmosphere, most inviting, perfect service, Lynn and staff did an outstanding job, the best looking and most delicious food, just above and beyond.
Can't wait to go back!“
