36 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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Very good food and service! I ordered the "lunch special" with pork chops, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The chops were nice and juicy, with brown gravy. If I would have known how big they were, I would have ordered the "senior"pork chop, which came with only 1 chop. I couldnt finish it all. The potatoes were instant, but very well seasoned. The only thing that kept me from giving the food 5 stars, was the green beans were still a little crunchy. My wife ordered the senior CFS; It was large enough that she could only eat half. It was a frozen, pretty breaded patty, but very tasty. The cream gravy was from a mix, but tasted like Pioneer mix, which I think is the best mix out there. We will return next time we are in Tyler, as I want to sample the Mexican menu.“

“Review of server Emma. Excellent service!!!!“

“We had a great experience at the Diner in Tyler. It was our first time there and we will be back. Melissa was amazing and attentive but not too much so. She really did a great job of reading the room and understanding when to approach us. The water was outstanding and with that you know the food will be quality. The coffee was excellent and the portions were great plenty to take home. Prices were lower than expected which was a bonus! Thanks for excellent service and great first experience. We will be back and we will be bringing more people 😊“

“👍Great service and friendly staff“

“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“

“Visited for my first time on Saturday with daughter & granddaughter. We were treated to complimentary beignets which were melt in your mouth delicious. Their GF menu is extensive & impressive as well. I had shrimp and grits…so tasty! Granddaughter enjoyed chicken and waffles. Our drinks were perfect! Mimosas & Bloody Mary with the perfect amount of spice. Our waiter, “Lurch” was knowledgeable & insisted on “carding” me which automatically bumped up his tip. Overall, great experience and we’ve already made plans to return. Recommend 10/10.“

“Prime 102 catered my granddaughter’s (DejahHood) repast and the food and service was amazing!!!! Everything was so delicious!! It was the best repast meal that I have ever experienced. My family and friends were just as satisfied. The pork loin was so tender that I could have eaten it without teeth. Did I mention that I am ready for some more green beans? How about that banana pudding? Oh my gosh!!! Let’s go visit Steve!!!!! I love you ❤️🖤“

“Been here several times. Good food and service. Solid burger place with good chicken sandwiches as well. Fires are also solid. They seem fresh cut, not sure though. If you’re looking for a good burger you can’t really go wrong here. We did have one time where the burgers were dry, but that can happen anywhere. It’s been consistently good otherwise. Sorry for not including pictures. I’ll try to add them next time.“

“The French Kiss Martini, Lollipop Lamb Chops, and 4 ounce Filet Mignon with garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus were absolutely incredible! I’m not sure how to feel about the Aztec Warrior drink. The Smoky Paloma was yummy. Katie was a superb host/server. 🤩 I do recommend Dakota’s Steakhouse, Seafood, and Chops in Tyler, Texas. Ladies that on Wednesday! Check it out!“
