“ 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. ”
