Hallmark - Killeen

I visited the restaurant on Sunday morning during peak breakfast hours and was impressed by the quick service—we received our hot meals in under 15 minutes, despite only seeing two servers on the floor. The food was delicious; I ordered biscuits and gravy with grits, while my husband had pancakes, eggs, and sausage patties. Our server was friendly and personable, yet maintained a professional demeanor. It was clear that many regular customers were there, and the entire staff seemed to get along well and enjoy working together; you could even hear the kitchen staff interacting. The restaurant had a nostalgic diner vibe, which I found delightful. Although it appears a bit dated, I believe it adds to the overall experience. I will definitely be returning!

The food here is fantastic and has a delightful homemade taste, especially the turkey pot pie, which comes in generous portions. Prices have certainly gone up, like just about everything else these days. The service was excellent; our waitress, Courtney, has really made strides in her attitude over the years—perhaps she has matured? She was genuinely pleasant, and I would rate her a perfect 10 for her service and customer interaction. We had a wonderful brunch during our visit. We always recommend Hallmark to our guests, as their menu offers something for nearly everyone.

**Parking/Location:** Parking is quite limited. The restaurant is located next to a motel, which makes the area feel a bit congested and sketchy. There are two handicap parking spots available, and be prepared for it to be busy; the restaurant is always packed! **Atmosphere:** The place has an old, worn feel to it. While they do their best to keep it clean and inviting, it doesn’t always feel completely fresh. The ladies' bathroom has just one stall, and it definitely needs a thorough cleaning. As mentioned before, we truly appreciate the staff—they treat you like family and are very attentive. You’ll find a lot of regulars there. The menu features American cuisine and the environment is family-friendly. Masks are optional, and you settle your bill at the register when you leave. **Quality of Food:** The portion sizes are generous; you can easily share a plate with someone. The food is always served hot and fresh. It’s good, though not outstanding, but it definitely satisfies. I would choose Hallmark Restaurant over IHOP or Denny's any day—it’s our favorite family spot! **Pricing:** Expect to pay around $10 to $20 per plate.

I discovered this charming little roadside eatery today, and we were absolutely delighted. It has a cozy diner/home-cooked vibe with ample seating. The wait staff were incredibly friendly and consistently checked to make sure our drinks were filled throughout the meal. I had the catfish, and it was simply delicious!

If you’re looking for a warm and welcoming atmosphere, this is the perfect spot for you. The service was outstanding. The staff took the time to ask how I wanted my meal, making me feel right at home, like I was sitting at my own kitchen table. The food was hot, delicious, and served in generous portions—I nearly couldn’t finish it!
