Fish tacos were excellent, but the corn off the cob elotes was the best. Service was fast and friendly. Hamburgers are delicious.Food: 5/5

I really enjoyed all of the food great place to eat, decently priced. The ribeye, green beans, rice and salad were awesome. Husband enjoyed the grilled salmon. Kids had fried shrimp and chicken tenders which they seemed to enjoy. Mother In law had fried catfish as well.

As reflected in my previous review, we LOVEEEEE Aspen Creek. Eat there at least once a paycheck, and have for years. But we always dine in. Tonight, for the second time, we tried Curb Side pickup. (We tried once before last summer and our order was wrong, but we just took the L and said never again. Then we agained.) We ordered three meals and something was off with all three. On the salad, I asked for extra raspberry cilantro sauce and we did not get any. Not a huge deal. They packaged the shrimp separately, which I can appreciate but the serving size was significantly smaller than when you dine in (not the price, tho ). My mile high meatloaf was baaarely warm. The gravy was still hot (packaged separately) but the meat felt like it had been sitting there a lukewarm minute. I arrived exactly at time given for pickup, so it's not like I was just letting it sit, willingly. My daughter's food was mostly right, except when I arrived, the employee apologized and said they no longer carry the drink we purchased. She offered an alternative. No biggie. The marshmallows on both of the sweet potato casseroles we received were.... raw? Not toasted? Like, literally straight out of the bag and tossed on top. I can't think of the word to use here We were missing one sweet potato casserole. I called the restaurant and explained the issue to employee #1. She put me on hold to "move to her computer screen". Five minutes later, I spoke with employee #2, who said "Oh, she's holding." And back on hold I went. When employee #3 picked up, I asked for a manager. Another hold later, I got one (April, maybe?). By now, we had finished our food, so when I finally spoke with her, I asked her to just refund my card. After another final hold, she advised that, per her GM, she cannot offer a refund, but could mail me a coupon. It's like $3 of food, so it's not a big deal but it's irritatinggggg because, like, a restaurant can't refund for missing food?? So in conclusion, 10000% recommend this restaurant.... If you're going to dine in. Definitely do nawttt recommend ordering curbside.

I was extremely disappointed in the food here. My friend had driven by a few times and was excited to try this spot, but it was just ok. We ordered an appetizer, spinach dip, and chips. The spinach dip was not good at all. It was very bland, lacked taste, lacked seasoning, and wasn't that creamy. The chips that came with it were fresh, though. I ordered a salad with crispy chicken bites, and it was pretty good. It came with tomatoes, onions, cheese, eggs, and croutons. It's a pretty big size and comes with a lot of salad. It was very filling, and the ranch tasted good. The customer service was ok. Overall, it was ok, but I don't know if I'd try it again.

Not bad. I had the cajun catfish. Pretty good. The rice was good too. The waitress was kind.

We have been several times during the day and have never been disappointed with food or service. Friendly professional staff and good chefs. Our new favorite place to eat in Tyler

We had the best server, Cherish. The food was good, except their cream gravy was a bit bizarre. It tasted like the rue was made with bacon fat. Nothing wrong with that, just not for everyone. The crispy chicken thighs and mashed potatoes were very good. It would have been better without the gravy. The chicken pasta was very bacon forward, otherwise it was very good. We will go back again and try other menu options.

I ordered a cheeseburger, super juicy and tasteful! I got the mistletoe margarita and that was delicious! The service was great, we had 8 people and they were quick and attentive! The restaurant was clean and very comfortable!

We almost didn't eat here because of the bad reviews but decided to try it because of good reviews on Google. We were glad we did! The pow wow shrimp was excellent and fresh. I got chicken, Cole slaw and mashed potatoes. I can't remember the name of the chicken but it's the breast with mushrooms, onions and cheese. My mom had the tenderloin medallions, baked potato and Cole slaw. We we very pleased with our meals and service! The pic is the shrimp but forgot to take pics of the meals.
Stopped in for lunch mid afternoon last week. We had been here only one time before. Wife had potato soup and fried shrimp and I had side salad and the monte cristo sandwich. The salad and potato soup was excellent. The shrimp and sandwich not so much. They both were deep fried in the same stale and evidently not up to frying temperature because both were oozing grease. The shrimp were also small and to crispy--like burned and not good at all. Tarter sauce was cold but left in cooler to long as it was a funny color and dry on top. Left several shrimp on the plate. Not waitresses fault as she did great job. I think her name was Raven. Three stars based on good service. Probably will not return.

Wonderful service & even better food! We were blown away. We did self seating in the lounge/bar area to watch the football games. The Monte Cristo is the best thing on the menu hands down! You have to try it. Cheeses with turkey & ham fried in 4 small triangles with powdered sugar and raspberry sauce on the side. ?

Ordered to go, food was good but only got a little drizzle of bbq sauce on the side of my ribs even though I asked for extra, it was basically dry ribs. Ordered the Aspen Bleu Sirloin as well but it came with no cheese, just the plain steak.

Put in an order for pick up. Chicken fried steak entree and a chicken fried pork entree. What we ended up with looked to be a lunch special size of the meats. For $14 each entree you would think it would be a regular portion. I've dined at the actual Aspen Creek location several times, so I know what the portions should be. Very disappointed for them cutting corners at my expense.

A perfect five star dinner. My wife ordered the Classic Aspen Salad and I ordered the 16oz Ribeye with Mac n cheese with a loaded baked potato. The steak was perfectly cooked and appeared to be larger than 16oz. The mac n cheese was creamy with pockets of cheddar. The loaded baked potato was stuffed and overwhelmed with bacon. The salad looked very appealing and my wife loved it. The waiter Aaron recommended the Pow Wow Shrimp. Shrimp was off the hook. Best shrimp I may have ever had. Great customer service and fast prep times. 100% will return. Next time to try the Pear A' Dise prickly pear drink.
