“The presentation was stellar. The food and service were perfect. Scallops are the hardest to get right but they did an amazing job. The olive tapenade before the meal is worth the price of the meal! Subdued atmosphere is great for date!”
“Travis J was great! Even though the restaurant was very busy he got our drinks, bread and food out quick and he was very friendly.”
“The best speakeasy is the one you find out is there. After a year of having an office right by the square, I stumbled into The Plaid Rabbit. The bartenders were highly knowledgeable on the bourbon selection and the old fashioned was top tier. The food was great as well. The atmosphere is perfect for an after work drink, date night and everything in between.”
“Big Chad and the Davis crew had a blast! Hayden was the man! Jenna was the best!”
“As you enter, you are promptly greeted. We had a reservation, which due to traffic we were a little late. That being said we were seated immediately. Indoors every table has a view of the kitchen. The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable, and were able to answer any questions about the menu. I had the Crab cake Hush Puppies to start. Nice large hunks of lump crab in a moist, and fried to perfection batter. Accompanied with a slightly spicy remoulade. For my entree I went with a Blue crab Claw Ravioli. The balance of this dish I cannot even put into words. Talking with Chef Lance after the meal, and observing him at work. You can see and feel his passion for his chosen art. Just when you think your experience can't get any better, a walk to the back of the restaurant. A doorway marked "janitors closet" hides a secret entrance to the Speakeasy. I highly recommend a visit, should you find yourself anywhere near Tyler Texas!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Food and service was a home run! We got the extra hot potatoes, corn, boiled eggs, snow crab and shrimp. They know how to make great sweet tea too!”
“Good burgers. We tried a black and blue burger and a chopped steak plate with grilled onions. A side salad showed up on the tray also- probably for the platter! Both meals were good. The free pintos are a nice, tasty touch.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Exceptional atmosphere, courteous service and good clean eats! the general manager Justin goes above and beyond for the positive environment, and his outstanding team members. Tristan was incredibly helpful and a pleasure the best service I have ever encountered. if you haven't tried Tyler Hawaiian Bros on S. Broadway you are truly missing out!”
“I prefer the Ayce night because I prefer shashimi. The spider rolls is awesome. They respect food issues or alergies. Portions are big No rush with time limits or max footd consumption like some others. The fried banana I s yummy. Ivy is a great waitperson. Design my own roll. Love to. Did it in Orlando”
“Stanley’s is very good barbecue and slots in to the top tier of BBQ joints. The brisket was juicy and flavorful. The baby back ribs had the right combination of smokiness and a hint of sweet. The queue to place your order moved at a snail’s pace, especially when compared to some of the well oiled machines in Dallas that have it down to a science. There are plenty of seating options to satisfy whatever vibe you’re feeling. Stanley’s is a must visit whenever you’re in Tyler.”
“My daughter has celiac and we can order online and make notation of her gluten allergy. Her food is labeled “allergy” which increases our confidence that protocols were followed to ensure she does not get exposed to gluten. Wonderful job protecting the gluten free population and providing options for eating out! Plus the food is wonderful!”
“My hubby and I went to eat tonight and we had the best experience. Our cook Evan was the best ever. Best ever show we have seen. Our waiter Jack was very nice and kept our drinks full and was very attentive. Five Stars, Two thumbs up, loved the whole experience and atmosphere.”
“Everything was absolutely perfect. Atmosphere, service, food, and everything in between exceeded our expectations. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary, with fresh flowers on the table & a personalized menu which was such a thoughtful touch! They accommodated our gluten allergy (even had an employee run to the store to grab GF bread for our appetizer) & everything was delicious. We had the whipped feta (outstanding and beautiful), the Cesar salad (best salad I’ve ever had), the filet (cooked to perfection), Brussels (absolutely mouth watering), puréed potatoes (so yummy), and lobster mac (obviously not GF, but my husband said it was delicious). The sides are big enough to share, so keep that in mind! The virgin Bloody Mary and Hidden Garden mocktail were both so good. Estevian even left us a hand written thank you card and provided outstanding service. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough, and we can’t wait to come back! (As an aside, this probably isn’t a place to bring small children, so mom and dad will look forward to the next sans-kid meal to share here!)
Dietary restrictions: Accommodated our GF allergy.”

“I don’t review a ton of places but this place was so clean & our server was very good! My biggest ick for a restaurant is lack of cleanliness so I notice it fairly quickly and it can make or break my experience there…I was super impressed with how clean the place was. Even the restroom was very clean and the entry to the bathroom has a great open area with a changing table. The owner/manger (not sure) even told me they were planning to put up a curtain there so to create a private space for changing or breast feeding! He asked about our food and cared about our feedback. I will go back…oh and YES our food was delicious!”
“We have always loved dining here but this past weekend we hosted a rehearsal dinner upstairs in the private dining room and I have to say that the catering for this event was PERFECTION!! The staff was so helpful and service throughout the evening was wonderful!! Highly recommend having your event here!!”

“We could not have selected a better venue than The Potpourri House for our annual women's health luncheon. The Potpourri team provided excellent assistance, attention to detail, and true support of our mission from start to finish. And, as always, absolutely delicious food. We look forward to planning future events with this treasured Tyler landmark! - Jennifer Selman, Executive Director”
“Had their burgers tonight , one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time . The fries were amazing too !!”

“I don’t have any whataburgers where I live in ga, so going there with my grandpa is really special. Anyway the breakfast never gets old, especially them gravy and biscuits with hash browns and a Dr Pepper.
Kid-friendliness: Kids meal I guess
Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah”
“Bought the sweet & spicy burger, with onion rings. Considering I've been n the process of moving over the last few months, I really didn't want another burger, but that's what my friends choice was, Whataburger! The best by far, that I've had in a very long time. In fact, b4 I left, I ordered the same for my husband. He absolutely loved it!”
“I have stopped here several times. They are always great with service and the food is always how I order. The last time I went through the drive thru, they were not able to scan my app on my phone and I missed out on a promotion through the app and had to pay more. Otherwise it has been a positive experience there.”
“Amber and Alexis was very kind. We left another Whataburger because of rude customer service and we were so happy to get to have these 2 serve us! They were very cheerful and respectful. Will definitely be back to this one! I hope they get the recognition they deserve. I didn’t get a survey for my receipt for this Whataburger but I think they deserve a good review! Thank y’all for making our night better and serving us some fresh food EXACTLY the way we ordered it. They are awesome!”
“Whataburger Gresham. Great Food, Friendly People.. Holidays, Nights, anytime they are always Open, after school, Lunch anytime or early before work, running around town. or Road trip. Make it a must stop. Big Smiles and delicious food. Thank You Whataburger Gresham Tyler WhataburgerSuperFriendly #”
“The service was very quick and polite. The restaurant is very clean and presentable. The food was the only problem green beans had arrived, still cold frozen, not cooked entirely. The red potatoes were fake mashed potatoes, not real potatoes. Give it a try. Be careful what you order...”
“Best hibachi ever. Great food great service and wonderful atmosphere”
“We had pizza here for the first time today and it won’t be the last. It was the best I’ve had in a very long time. Highly recommend.”
Takeout Restaurants
“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Brad for excellent customer service and to the manger on shift, Tristan, for ensuring that his team provides exceptional service. I have been here multiple times. The food is amazing but I had not so good service! Tonight..: 15 out of 10 stars for this team!”
“This was our first time going here. We had heard good things about it. We had the boudin burger and I have to say it was yummy! Slightly spicy , great taste. Also had sweet potatoes fries. The y were good a bit over cooked but still good! A nice change from the average burger places. We will definitely go back. Price wise, not bad, 3 burgers and 2 fries about $44 dollar's. I guess waits can be long if they are busy, but I believe you can call in order and pick up if you don't want to sit in your car and wait. Definitely worth a try!!”
“We had dinner and listened to the live band. The place has a nice upscale atmosphere while also embracing casual. Very comfortable and classy! A great place for a date night.”
“My wife and I celebrated our 1st marriage anniversary here. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and relaxing and our waiter Scott was super!...Only backdrop was that my wife and I creamy spinach was slightly cold but Scott immediately apologized and fixed it. We will definitely be returning!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“We arrived at 4pm and my wife and I had the whole place to ourselves! A little different than what we expected. Order and pay at the register then take a seat. We had a bento set of pork katsu on curry rice with a California roll. Cutlet, rice and curry were nice and hot! Curry was nice and thick. California roll had a super fresh zing. Shiromiso was also hot and delicious. We were traveling through Tyler and based our visit on Google reviews. WHEN we travel back through Tyler we will return again! Staff was pleasant and facility clean! Loved it!”
“We really love Andy’s. We like the fact they launched an app to track rewards. We can also upload cash to the app and pay with the app. This comes in handy if we have been walking the trails and want a quick treat and we don’t have our wallets. However, not all employees are trained on how to take payment from the app. On numerous occasions we have been told “I don’t know how to do that”. Tonight we were actually told “you can’t use the app to pay”. When I questioned further she said “I don’t know how to do it, so you can’t use it”. Why couldn’t she go ask someone how to do it?”
“Best soul food restaurant in ALL of East Tx!!!!!!!
Great down home service that makes you feel at home and welcome. Everything on the menu was absolutely mouth watering 😋 I ordered Smothered Pork Chops with Rice,Cabbage & Gravy and a side of sweet cornbread with a big cup of Grape Kool-Aid. The staff is full of kind and beautiful women that tend to you in a fashion that a person can only find at home!!”
“Was about a 15 minute wait when we showed up (Saturday around 1:30). They have a waitlist you can put yourself on before you arrive. Service was good. My wife and I both ordered the filet to be cooked medium. Hers came out medium rare and mine came out medium well. Other than the steaks, everything else was great.”
Cheap Eats
“Finally made it out here and WOW it was worth it! I ordered cookie butter, wedding cake, and red velvet Nutella macaroons. Very nice store, incredibly friendly staff, fully worth the special trip! I think the cookie butter was my favorite but will simply have to confirm by trying again!”
“I’ve been been buying the baked goods but haven’t stopped in lately. I went today on my lunch hour and got the tostadas. They were so good and she was very busy but had my order out very quickly. The owner and staff are always so sweet. I will always 10 out of 10 recommend.❤️”
“Young man serving beans and ice cream had his bare hands in trash can, running hands through his hair and cut his finger on ice cream bucket. Never once did I see him wash his hands. He went from pushing trash down to serving food. Combing his hair with hands then scooping ice cream. Come on, man!”
“Best of the best! Great food and bakery items! Make a trip and take home a sack full of pan (Mexican sweets)! Stop in for a breakfast taco on fresh tortillas! Yummy 😋 Sorry I ate the taco before the pic! Lol 😂 Make sure to say hi to the owner Nacho too! He is awesome!”
“My wife and I dropped in to The Catch for a little dinner, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We found the food to be quite good...delicious, in fact, and not over-priced, and a most relaxed atmosphere. It was refreshing to be "laid back" and not at all "stuffy". They had an employee named Megan that was delightful...very personable and made our visit to The Catch so enjoyable that it will not be "one and done"; we will be back!”
“My absolutely FAVORITE place to get seafood and soul food! Everything comes out fresh EVERY SINGLE TIME. You can taste the love in every bite. The customer service is above and beyond and they make you feel like family. I’m addicted to the catfish, collards, & broccoli. I always take it to go but I end up sitting right in the restaurant and eating the whole plate 😂😂 Go support this lovely black owned business ‼️ RUN, don’t walk 🏃🏽♀️ Keep shining , praying plenty of abundance & prosperity over this couple!”
“First visit, on Peachtree Rd NE, I can’t say more about how excellent this place is! From welcoming to wait staff to cook, everyone is so nice, graceful & accommodating. Wish I was closer. The food is to DIE for!!! If you find yourself near here, don’t hesitate to stop in!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Ordered curbside. Turkey and brisket were really good. Didn’t get the lady’s name who brought our food out but she was super nice. They were real busy and she even thanked us for our patience. Will definitely be back .
Parking: Simple easy to maneuver”
“Our server, Raina, is a very insightful and helpful server as well as kind and she genuinely knows what she’s talking about
Had a hankering for crawfish but out of season and she gave me suggestions on how to freshen it up a little with the seasonings! Super kind and attentive! Definitely will be back for some more out of season crawfish”
“Crawdaddy's always good food!! I have never been anything other than satisfied.”
“The only spot I like to drink when I come into town. Best karaoke experience you’ll get also! Happy Birthday drew!”
“First time at this location. Quaint, and quiet as we were the first arrivals on a Saturday before the evening crowd started coming in. Good selection of their own locally-brewed craft beers. Nice place to chill /hang out in the downtown Tyler Square.”
“All of it. The service, decor, the ambiance, the noise level, and I haven’t even gotten to the amazing food. It’s a great place to celebrate.”
“My 2 year old had a good time. Paid $12 for the trampoline but employees took a very long time each time to get over to the trampoline and let my child in. It was a waste of money. Spent at least 45 minutes waiting on them. All employees were rude except the young woman at the door.”
“In our opinion, this is the best Chuys around. We have been to others, and this location is always consistent! It's always busy, too, but it's worth it.
Vegetarian options: Really good veggie enchiladas!”
“Tons of food, no small servings.
"Show " is great if you haven't seen it. Kids love it. Awesome food is always delicious.
Vegetarian options: They have veggies on the Habachi.”
“I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and breakfasts and dinners. plan on going back soon.”
“My husband and I went to Chilis in Tyler a few days ago. Our server, Macy, was FABULOUS! She was attentive and responded well to any questions we had. Our only complaint was the chips. They have changed the chips, and they are awful! We definitely will go back, and hope to have Macy again. We won't be ordering the chips but the rest of the food is always good.
Keep Macy and bring back the old chips!”
“The food is AMAZING. I didn't go into the establishment. I ordered it through Doordash. I made the mistake of eating the NOCAL burrito in one sitting. Bad move. It's A LOT of food. It's delicious, humongous proportions.”
“Love this bar! My wife and I love going here and watching people dance, the drinks are good, the music is always fun and playing pool when it slows down is always a great time!”
“Brought our god daughter here for lunch today and wow! She’s only 11 months so not quite old enough to love the atmosphere as much as we definitely did. Service was impeccable they rearranged seating to accommodate us perfectly. Our drinks were never low and the sweet ladies at the front held the doors open for us as we left. We will definitely be back soon!”
“Great staff, intimate environment!! Had a blast seeing everyone on the 21st! Will definitely be there next month for Buckcherry!!!!”
“Came in with my 2 year old daughter to escape the heat on my day off work. I was greeted at the door with a smile & a big welcome from the entire staff. the manager Jorge even helped my little one decide the best flavor !! all 3 of my smoothies were made fresh and in hand within 3 minutes. we recieved a group goodbye from the entire staff despite how busy they seemed. very friendly fast and professional service, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this experience over your typical dairy queen, etc.”
“I don't normally review "chain" restaurants. I mean, it is usually "if you've eaten at one of them, you've eaten at all of them." However, Elizabeth and I eat at the Applebee's here in Tyler fairly regular because we sometimes work late and they are open late. I have to say that I am always pleased with the food, the service, and the overall experience every time. They have great drinks, great specials, and unlike other similar "chains" ( yes, I mean Chili's) they offer something new on their menus very frequently while still offering the standards they are famous for. Great job, Applebee's.”

“I went here over the summer when I was on vacation. Crystal was by far my favorite entertainer. I loved the way she teased me into getting a dance from her, and she was so hilarious too. She came all the way from dallas to work and is a very rare kind of entertainer to find in this industry, especially nowadays. She's definitely an entertainer worth keeping and I hope to see her again the next time I visit”

“First time eating at Canes. Food is pretty good. Chicken fresh and moist. Sauce is great. Service was good. Would eat here again. Only things is while most tables were empty, I could only find one clean one and the music is far too loud. Couldn’t even have conversation due to the volume.”
