Ernie's Fried Chicken

Ernies Fried Chicken 08-02-24 I stopped by to get lunch It’s a small place but nice. I used the order window and waited in my car till they called my name. We had; Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Fries. Tasted like processed Steak that came frozen. But it was good with the gravy and potatoes. Steak Finger Basket with Fries. Same as the Chicken Fried Steak 9 Piece Chicken Tenders. Tender and good. I also got ½ Dz Chicken Livers that were battered well and had good flavor. I Ordered the Catfish Only which came with Tarter Sauce and Two Hushpuppies. Good Cornmeal Batter and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All in all it was OK. Nothing special but still good. I would go back to try their Fried Chicken and Breakfast Tacos! The employee that waited on me was very friendly and nice. Overall it was a pleasant experience

I had the 4pc chicken tenders and fries. Man i was expecting puny little ole tenders like you normally get. Nope these were huge. You really dont need a side when you get the tenders. And you don't get just a measely hand full of skinny fast food fries. These are thick fries more like what you see in a steak house but still stick fries not wedges. They give you enough gravy to dip your tenders in and the fries (if you so choose) and still enough to lick out of the bowl it'sjust thick enough to stick but thin enough to drip a little aka just right. Seasoning was good too. Prices are good for the amount of food you get.

The best breakfast around and worth the drive from Salado! They remind me of the restaurants I would visit as a kid in S Texas. Definitely my favorite spot for a taco or burrito, and the Fat Ernie never disappoints! Make sure you call ahead so you don’t have to wait! (If they’re busy you might have to call twice.)

She ain't much to look at but the love that comes out of that little building could fill a palace. I dare you to find something on their menu that isn't amazing! We originally started going here for their breakfast burritos and found that it wasn't even their specialty, it's the fried chicken! Y'all, it's so good, they sell out... They. Sell. Out. My first time trying the chicken, I was thinking, it's fried chicken, how can you make it better than any of the chain restaurants... WRONG! The batter is super crispy and the breading didn't slough off because it was too greasy, even the white meat was still moist and not overcooked. So often you get a fried breast and it's dry and stringy, not here boss! If you judge the outside, you're missing out on a culinary experience on the inside.

Best Fried Chicken within at least 50 miles. Small shop but they sure are generous with their portion as you can tell from my pictures. The chicken is marinated so not only the skin was flavorful, but also the meat. They offer a varity of chicken cuts and even gizzards and liver. Their burrito are HUGH!!!

Ernie's is hands down the best fries chicken in Centx. But it doesn't stop there. From there Chicken to bfast burritos,catfish and well the whole menu is on point. Great prices and service. A must visit if you're in Belton.

Always a wonderful experience. Excellent customer service and the food has you coming back for more! Fat Earnies burritos and fried catfish has me addicted!

The food was very good, but I think the service could be better by asking the customer if they order is correct so it gives more time for customer to double check their order.
