    Trash and weird tape in the seat
    Uncle T.

    If you're looking for a dining experience that tests the limits of your patience, lowers your expectations for customer service, and leaves you wondering if you've unknowingly walked into a social experiment -- this is the place for you. We waited 1.5 hours for a veggie omelet and a glass of water. That's not a typo. Ninety minutes. For eggs and vegetables. I think the chickens were still laying them while the zucchini was out back being grown from seed. The staff? Completely unbothered, as if I was the one being unreasonable for wanting food at a restaurant. When we politely asked if they could just fix the issue instead of inventing new excuses, the manager tossed us a 10% discount like a band-aid on a bullet wound. I didn't want a coupon -- I wanted an omelet that didn't take the same amount of time as a Marvel movie. The place was dirty, like "should we get a tetanus shot after this?" dirty. The bathroom looked like it had been hosting a gas station reunion. And just to really complete the experience, the prices on the menu didn't match the bill. Apparently, they're running a "Surprise! Inflation roulette!" special. By the time the food came, I wasn't even hungry -- just spiritually exhausted. My omelet tasted like defeat with a side of regret.

    Great food and service. I liked the atmosphere. I ordered the avocado toast with chicken sausage. The bread had a different flavor. Might have been potato bread. Everything came out quick. We went on a slower Thursday morning as we were passing through town.

    A million points out of 10! Freakin amazing food, service and ambiance. We got the Three Drunken Fools and it was GAS. The biscuits your dreams are made of. Our family got the Little Terminators and Dirty Birdie trios. All delicious. Get the mimosa flights too! Service was amazing, friendly and fun. As a bonus, the bathrooms are super cute! Can't wait to come again.

    Wow, this is now our go-to spot for brunch! Right in downtown Temple, next to Treno and the public parking garage. Excellent waffles and other breakfast items. Lots of seating and friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

I also tried a bite of the strawberry cream waffle and it was delicious! Crunchy on the outside and soft and creamy inside. The service was quick and friendly, and overall just a great experience. I'm visiting from out of town, but would definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area.

    We arrived and hopped on the waiting list which seemed to go quicker than it should have- but being…read moresat quickly is a plus... right? We sit and order in good time as well- fyi though they advertise gluten free they advise "if its serious, please be aware there's a possibility of cross contamination due to our kitchen being small" & their potatoes "are gluten free but share the same fryer as non GF items" EYEROLLS- all of that means nothing is GF lol... anyway. The couple next to us had been seated about 30 minutes before us and still had no food, but was told that the kitchen had a huge mess up somehow and was running very behind. When their food was brought, they received the wrong order... and the folks behind us who still hadn't ordered yet received food which was also clearly someone else's! Now, I look at my phone... because my grumpy (screaming 1yo at this point) baby was starving and I was quite over the wait- holy cow! It had been over AN HOUR since we were seated. The food finally came- bit by bit... and I realized we were never given silverware. Had to ask for it. Once I start eating I was even more disappointed. The waffle i ordered was dry and other than the chocolate chips on top it was flavorless. The chicken sausage was dry & the "two eggs" must have been from a quail because it truly looked like just one. I can say with the utmost enthusiasm that I could NEVER recommend this place to anyone, nor will we be back. Not just because the food was less than mid, but the service was even worse.

Our server was very sweet and efficient- there when we needed her but not hovering. The food is glorious. They are a bit on the expensive side, but the food is so good we did not mind the prices. I had the chicken and waffles - nicely crisp chicken breast with very tasty waffles. My husband and granddaughter-in-law had the steak and eggs - with really good potatoes and onions; both were SO impressed with the flavor and the preparation. (I will be having this next time!). My grandson had 'Hong Kong' French toast, which I believe was made with Japanese milk bread and had berries and a custard. Also came with eggs and bacon. He could not speak highly enough about it. The portions are LARGE. We all took food home. I shared my plate with my great granddaughter (2 yrs) and still took food home! Honestly, we had booked another restaurant for the weekend of Mother's Day (day before) and we canceled that reservation so that we could go back to Farmers Commons! It's that good. Also, all the folks working when we were there were very sweet with my great granddaughter; we appreciated that. HIGHLY recommend for brunch. Now i want to try dinner too!

Our waitress was "Augie" (short for Augustina) The food was the big surprise. The bread was amazing as was the dipping oil. The garlic butter with honey was wonderful on the bread. We got the tomato soup and it was one of the best I have had in a very long time. We got the eggplant rollitini. The butterfly pasta was the star of the dish. While the eggplant was excellent the butterfly pasta I could have eaten every day. The green beans were a little over cooked but still not bad. I will include a picture of the HUGE slice of chocolate cake I received. I will be eating it for a week. The price for four people was $150. So it was not outrageous. Recommended.

This was not only frustrating, but also embarrassing, especially since I had important guests with me. There was no clear explanation provided by a supervisor or manager, and the only response we received was a brief and not very sincere "sorry." A phone call ahead of time would have been the professional and respectful thing to do, rather than having us show up and then be told we would simply be placed on a waiting list. It really makes me question the purpose of making a reservation days in advance if it is not going to be honored. Fortunately, I was able to secure a last-minute table at Cheeves Brothers Steakhouse, but this situation was completely unacceptable and left a very poor impression. Do Better!!

    Milller's Smokehouse serves up some killer smash burgers!…read more My family enjoys hunting for great Texas BBQ. We have completed the 2017 and 2021 TX Monthly Top 50 BBQ list. We started the 2025 list and we are more than half-way through the list as of June 2026. Heading to the spots in West Texas takes some logistical planning, patience, and lots of gas for the drive from the Texas Gulf Coast. On our recent BBQ quest to West Texas,we drove home via Fort Worth from Amarillo with our eyes set on hitting one of the most consistent BBQ joints in Central Texas, Miller's Smokehouse in Belton, TX. This was our fourth time to visit Miller's. Unfortunately, Miller's Smokehouse had a surprise overnight fire late February 2026. That hasn't stopped them from feeding the community great food from a mobile trailer. They had an abbreviated menu of the BBQ staples like brisket, chicken, pulled pork, pork steaks, and St. Louis Style Ribs, and assorted sandwiches and sides. Generally, I'm a Texas Trinity traditionalist. But we he had our fill of brisket, ribs, and sausage on our West Texas journey. Instead, we jumped at the Smash Burgers! First time for us and they made a favorable impression. My wife had the Single Smash. My son and I had the Double Smash. Of course we had to try the tallow Fries. Wow! Homemade buns, oversized patties, cheese, with a smattering of pickles and burger sauce. We destroyed those burgers. Compliments to the kitchen staff cooking up some great food. The tallow Fries, seasoned with just the right amount of salt were a perfect crisp while being soft in the center. Don't cheat yourself - try the Fries. We arrived around noon and there was a very short line at that time. Parking is easy with ample parallel parking and free lots close by. The staff took good care of us. It was a bit warm but they had shaded picnic table seating with plenty of fly fans at the table to keep the critters from buzzing to nibble at your food. Before we left, we inquired about nearby restrooms to wash-up before we got back on the road. We were directed across the street to Muscovy Coffee Roasters across the street. It turns out that Muscovy is Miller's upscale sister coffee house that opened days before the February fire. I could not help but notice the spacious seating area that was packed. Nor the rich roasted coffee wafting through the air. They also serve an interesting menu of breakfast items and homemade Kolaches. Got to go back for coffee and Kolaches next time. By the way, the restrooms were Buc-ee's clean+. This is the fourth time we visited Miller's Smokehouse. Hat's off to the pitmasters and staff at Miller's Smokehouse for their perseverance. We'll be back after they open the revitalized restaurant. Hoping to meet Dusty the next time.

The atmosphere was beautiful--you feel like you're in a villa. The country drive out there is nice, and the grounds are gorgeous. Drinks were on point and the wine was good, though pricey for a small pour. Our waiter was friendly but not very attentive. Overall, probably won't be back. We've had much better experiences at wineries in Fredericksburg. I don't mind paying for an expensive meal if it's worth it--this just wasn't. Very disappointed.
