11 Best Southern Restaurants in Tyler

“My daughter and I went to Chicken Salad Chick this past weekend and had a great experience. We called before we came in and the individual we talked to was super kind and informative. Unfortunately, I don't remember her name but her customer service was on point. When we arrived, everyone one was so kind, helpful, and welcoming. The establishment was clean, comfortable and honestly felt like a nice sit down restaurant. The food was so flavorful, and tasty. My daughter is a picky eater, and absolutely loved the food!“

“Best home cooked buffet in Tyler 😃“

“Went for our anniversary and this was the perfect spot. The setting is gorgeous with the chandeliers. 👍 Chicken friend steak is a 10/10 Shelby was the sweetest! 🩷“

“EVERYTIME, I come back in town from Arizona. I make sure I get me 2 plates of whatever on the menu.“

“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!!“

“So I got a slim meal today on broadway and just wanted to say a few things. This is my second visit BTW 1. I've never had a more fresh crispy yet juicy chicken tender in my freaking life. When I took a bite, it busted with juice and at first I was scared it meant that it was undercooked but NO just cooked to perfection. Perfectly crispy, amazing seasoning, perfect tenderness, and of course the smokeyness of the slim sauce paired perfectly with both the chicken and the fries. The toast was toasted to perfect and was still hot with just a touch of garlic, not too much, just enough to pull it all together. Unfortunately I didn't have enough to get a side of the mac n cheese bc I've been dying to try it but I'll save it for next time. Just wanted to say it was very very good!“

“I had the shrimp dinner with garlic toast, and salad with the delicious honey lime dressing inside of broccoli cheese casserole. It was delicious. I didn’t take a picture though.
And the painkiller at the bar is phenomenal with the pineapple“
