Headed there next weekend, give me some ideas

Jody’s great burgers salads and killer chicken tenders. Oscar Store east of town in Oscar . CFS, burgers are huge, catfish etc. Love Saigon Cafe on the loop for Chinese and Thai. Pignetti’s downtown for higher end

Yep, Oscar Store is well worth the short drive out there.

Millers smokehouse.

I never pass this place unless they are closed, like 407 the sides are outstanding.

East of Temple is Green's Sausage House. The food is ok, the service is terrible, but the meat counter is da bomb. Good prices for their meats.

Totally Agree

Old Jody’s is about the only place I’d eat in temple/belton.

Greens is good but no dinner. Great bacon and sausage I keep wanting to try their processing for deer sausage

I've used Green's for a few deer.. Not cheap but their smoked sausage is REALLY good.

Temple is a Mecca of chain restaurants. Very little unique food there. They have a Cheeve's Brothers steakhouse if you feel like paying for good service
and a slightly better than average steak. Their baked potatoes, however, are outstanding.

50 years ago Clem Mikeska's BBQ was excellent. Stopped there 5 or so years ago and it was plain terrible. Is there a good BBQ place in Temple?

This is depressing, food wise. We are in the Temple area from time to time, and I have yet to eat anywhere that I considered real good. I like Green’s, but that’s not really in Temple. I had decent Italian at Pignetti’s a couple years ago, but haven’t been back there. It may not even be there now.

Their pies are incredible.
