Restaurants near Ledbetter Park

Lovely lunch spot in downtown Temple; excellent chicken pot pie.

I recently visited Ronin to celebrate my anniversary, and I can confidently say it deserves every one of the five stars I’m giving it. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the perfect tone for our special evening. The service was amazing —attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured everything was flawless throughout the night. The food was wonderful. We started with an excellent chicken and risotto dish that was very tender and a juicy steak that was 16 ounces of medium rare perfection. We told our server we would be sharing, so she had the kitchen split our entrees for us. For dessert, we had brownies and crème brûlée which were both great. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted as amazing as it looked. The food was seasoned perfectly to accentuate the natural farm fresh flavors. To top it off, we shared a wonderful bottle of sparkling wine. The large selection of high quality wines added an extra layer of refinement to the experience. Ronin truly made our anniversary unforgettable. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion—or just to treat yourself to an exceptional meal—this is the place!

Elaine our server was absolutely delightful!! She helped us navigate the general splendor of the menu. Breakfast there is really more a cultural experience, everything is done with carefully crafted thought and intention. Well done !!

Jonathan, our waiter, made the experience even more enjoyable. He was extremely well read and traveled, and we had an interesting conversation.

Noah was our waiter and he was soooo friendly and had a great personality. Excellent service! The food was delicious. We started with the pretzel and moved on to schnitzel and the short rib goulash. We will be going back. Glad to see Waco stepping up their food game.
