45 Best American Restaurants in Tyler

“Brennan was our waiter and he was amazing! One of our table mates could not decide what to pick so he left it up to Brennan. The food came out and Brennan had picked the best dish for our guest! Very attentive to our table and great personality!“

“Yes, Definitely I will recommend it, the service was really fast too we enjoyed it everything that we come.“

“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!“

“It was very good they were fast at preparing food and the waitress was amazing“

“The food at ETX is amazing. Chef Lance is a genius when it comes to food went there for my birthday. They told me happy birthday when I walked in had a wonderful time and went to the plaid rabbit and had a great night must try thank you you ETX for an amazing birthday.“

“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“

“Last night was our first experience at Prime 102. We were speechless throughout our entire time. My husband ordered a Bloody Mary and I had the specialty drink of the night, Azalea. The best drinks we have ever had! Our steaks were cooked to literally perfection, medium rare just as we like. The potato casserole and beets were delicious. For our anniversary we were served a complimentary dessert, a snickerdoodle butter cake topped with Henry’s Mexican vanilla ice cream. Let me tell you, nothing will ever top the meal we had. The entire service was flawless, our server, Scott was wonderful. Thank you Prime 102 for making our 5th anniversary memorable.“

“First time here, food was delicious!“

“All the food was good. We had the chicken fried steak dinner, chicken strip dinner and a juicy burger. The portion’s are large. A little pricey. Chicken fried steak dinner I could have gotten at Chedder’s for much less with more sides and taste about the same. They need work on customer service skills. My husband’s burger was not prepared correctly. I asked the girl working for he dining room for to go boxes and she sent me back up to the front to wait in line with the people ordering.“

“I would like to start off by saying i am a very picky person i usually only eat chicken tenders lol but this place was absolutely AMAZING tonight me and my family ( mom dad and brother ) came in tonight and was seated by the SWEETEST hostess i have probably ever met and then not even seconds after we were greeted by our waiter who’s name was Johnathan i believe ( it might have been Joshua im really bad with names i apologize! ) he made excellent conversation and refilled our drinks on the dot and had our orders to a T AMAZING service and we had a great night because of it!!! <3“

“Our waiter was the best I’ve encountered in a long time! He was accommodating, friendly and hard working! A pleasant change from the norm in restaurants now days! Food was great!“

“We had an amazing lunch with a delicious dessert“

“Very Respectful Waiters and Waitresses. Good well prepared food.“

“The food was great but the grilled flounder was too salty. What!!! No blacked-eyed peas. You’re in Texas and chicken fried steak has to be eaten with black-eyed peas. My husband was upset! I heard there is new management and the menu is changing. I like what was on the old menu. Don’t change a good thing!! If you change it, we won’t be back!!“

“Their staff is a hit or miss. Generally though - croissants are timely, fresh, and delicious. Chicken fried chicken is a good thickness, cooked evenly, and good breading. Texas toast is crunchy. Like their sweet corn, mashed potatoes, and broccoli rice casserole. The potato soup is also very good. Would not recommend the cookie dessert, the cookie has a weird flavor with too few chocolate chips. The new watermelon vodkarita is a hit or miss.

Parking: Ton of spots on location.

Wheelchair accessibility: Single level, easily accessible bathroom, good parking, areas for inclines instead of steps.“

“Tried First Watch for the first time in another state, than in Austin where I live. I visit ETX frequently to see my family and had to take them to First Watch when I saw there was one here.

We have come several times and each time the staff is friendly, great quality meals, and delicious coffee. Highly recommend the traditional for a classic breakfast but their rotational seasonal items are always delicious.“

“Well...the atmosphere got 5 stars because the staff made us feel so welcome. The food and service was fantastic and we plan to go back when passing through the area.
Some of the best fried fish and greens we've had in a long time.“

“Outstanding. The service was great. The food was outstanding. The steamed and fried shrimp were amazing. The green beans were cooked well. Also, the trio appetizer was very good“

“We came in early evening on a Saturday - ordered NY strip and fliet. Fantastic environment and great lighting. I was a bit worried about the TWO TV's in our dining room - but thankfully, neither were on playing anything. I appreciate this because I'm spending good money to have a dining experience, not to be eating a great meal and have TV light on my face and distractions from my dinner conversations. Varnado was fantastic, followed up with us regularly for anything we needed w/o being pushy.

Get the Key Lime Pie and coffee. You're welcome.“

“We had 14 people for a goin away dinner with friends. Longhorn doesn't take reservations so we just all showed up.
The staff was very accommodating to our group moving tables together for us.
We had 2 servers, they took sides. One for one side of table one for opposite.
Drinks, water, bread came right away. About 1/2 of us ordered adult beverages and those came right away too.
Then appetizers were ordered, the stuffed mushrooms were awesome, same with the mini bread loaves, excellent!
Everyone ate to "over full" and most of us still took left overs home.
ALL in ALL it was excellent!
I gotta mention, i had the steak and lobster, my lobster was cooked perfectly, one other person ordered the same and they said their lobster was very good too!
I know I'll go back again!“

“Loggins has great home cooking. Very nostalgic. Get dessert!“

“We stopped by while passing through Tyler, TX. I had the chicken quesadilla and my husband had the chicken chimichanga. Go hungry because they don’t play around with their serving sizes. Both were excellent. The salsa is amazing. Our server Esméralda was great, and made our experience one that we will always remember.“

“Love Golden Corral. Ours in Denton tx closed down.....it was everyones favorite. I know I drove 25 miles to eat at that place. Today visiting with sister and had opportunity to go .
Again...miss having one in Denton area

“Great experience at Rick's. I had the Texas Bites appetizer, the Ribeye, the okra, and the Potatoes Gratin (servers suggestion). Everything was excellent including the service. Finished the night with the sounds of Private Orchid in the music area.“

“The food & service is always GREAT!!“

“Love the place and the staff! They always go above and beyond for all costumers ❤️“

“The server was friendly and prompt, but not knowledgeable about some things like how big the hamburger patties are. Are they 1/3, 1/4, or half pound patties. She was willing to offer to find out.The food was hot and wonderfully good. Prices $40 for 2, kind of pricey foe lunch.

Parking: Tyler off Broadway. It's like a restaurant row, and each restaurant has its own parking lot.They have handicap ♿️ parking. Some areas inside dose have steps. Didn't see any ramps, but I was not looking for them.“

“Our Keep It Local Tuesdays group ate here tonight. The customer service was amazing. They allow you to taste their daiquiris before buying one they have over 10 flavors and you can mix flavors. The food was great. They were very accommodating to our large group.“

“Great food and atmosphere! Favorite date night spot!♥️“

“We stopped by The Porch at ETX Brewery for the first time earlier this week and had a great experience. We had two local beers, Back Street Blonde and Hitching Post, and both were tasty and good flavor. The Buffalo Chicken fries were yummy although somewhat lessened by what tasted to be homemade hot sauce and homemade ranch dressing. The staff was great - very friendly and helpful. Would definitely drop by again.“

“Food is always fresh and good. Guaranteed satisfaction“

“They catered a party I attended last night, and the food was absolutely wonderful. Our host said they were wonderful to work with and had the best price in town. I am definitely looking forward to stopping by and trying them again.“

“great bar at the hotel! great atmosphere!“

“James was professional and made me feel valued and appreciated as a customer. It’s hard to find that anymore anywhere. We love this Chilis for both dine in and take out and appreciate the new location and the service. It’s one of regular stops!“

“When I asked the guy at the bar, if he would change the lights out on the pool table, because they were so dim, it was hard to see. I just figured he would laugh at me. But instead, he said you know what I bet I can! And sure enough… Carter came to the rescue.!!! That's amazing service for a Saturday night when they're super busy to take care of such a small request.“
