Gilbert’s El Charro Cafe
Tyler offers its residents no shortage of restaurants, yet one type of cuisine reigns supreme. Not surprisingly, it’s Mexican. From holes in the wall like El Lugar to major chains like On the Border, Tyler has definitely got you covered when a craving for an enchilada strikes. Despite the plethora...

Soju Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro
All the Wasabi fans out there will be very excited about the newest addition to their Asian cuisine serving restaurant family, Soju.  Walking into Soju is very similar to walking in Wasabi, same look and feel, even some of the same employees. The food is just as good as at Wasabi, and the prices are...

What About Kabob & His Gyros
Tyler has finally, finally gotten its first Greek restaurant!  Greek is one of my all-time favorite cuisines, so to learn that a good Greek place has opened up in my hometown is music to my ears, and to my tastebuds!  What About Kabob is located on the corner of Loop 323 and Kinsey Drive in that...

Chuy’s Mexican Food
While Tyler was definitely not hurting for another Mexican restaurant, that has not stopped Tylerites from flocking to the brand new Chuy’s on South Broadway. Parking spots are scarce and waiting lists are long, but the food is worth the wait if you’re willing to put up with the crowd. I’ve...

BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse
BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse
I had the pleasure of attending BJ’s Brewhouse’s pre-opening event for lunch. Despite the limited menu offerings and somewhat confusing ordering instructions they had for today, BJ’s completely lived up to the hype that’s surrounded Tyler’s newest restaurant since they broke...

Julian’s Asian Diner
Julian’s Asian Diner
Stepping in to Julian’s in the Time Square shopping center is like stepping out of Tyler and into a hip, big-city bistro. The eatery’s new owners pulled out the big guns to maximize not only the limited square footage, but they infinitely up’d the cool factor by utilizing cutting edge,...

Kung Pao Asian Diner
Kung Pao Asian Diner
When I heard the announcement on the radio that the Kung Pao Asian Bistro restaurant on Old Jacksonville was open for business I didn’t hesitate to try it and ate lunch there that day. I pulled up to the restaurant just after noon and was a bit surprised to see there was no crowd to speak of despite...

Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches
Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches
Jimmy John’s sandwich shop opened for business!   Jimmy John’s serves a variety of traditional and specialty sandwiches on deliciously soft, chewy, crave-worthy homemade French bread or thick sliced 7 grain wheat.  My favorite (well, and the only one of their sandwiches I have ever...

Unk’s Shrimp Shack
Unk’s Shrimp Shack
It’s not unusual for us to make a last minute trip down the road to Unk’s Shrimp Shack when nobody feels like cooking. Unk’s Shrimp Shack is, obviously, a seafood restaurant.  Family owned and operated, the restaurant has been serving area residents and guests at The Villages...

Fat Catz Louisiana Kitchen
Fat Catz Louisiana Kitchen
A whole slew of Cajun restaurants have been popping up south of Tyler and I do admit that I am a fan of the Cajun movement.  However, you don’t have to go South for some good Cajun food.  You can go right over to the corner of the Loop and Troup where Fat Catz is nesteled next to the Electric...

Bruno’s Pizza and Pasta
Bruno’s Pizza and Pasta
Bruno’s has been a Tyler staple for years now, yet I don’t find myself venturing over that way too often. In fact, before this week I had only eaten at Bruno’s once and that was several years ago. That being said, I’ve always known Bruno’s to be a Tylerites favorite and...

Bernard Mediterranean Restaurant
Bernard Mediterranean Restaurant
I’ve always known Bernard’s to be the place to go for a romantic dinner.  It’s fair to say that it is THE date restaurant in Tyler, and on any given night I’d venture to say that 90% of the tables are couples dining over candlelight and a bottle of wine.   In fact, my now husband and I actually...

Basil Thai Cafe
Basil Thai Cafe
I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz surrounding Basil Thai restaurant on the corner of the Loop and 5th Street, the majority of it proclaiming the food delicious and the decor downright scary.  After I’d heard so many negative things regarding the restaurant’s interior I was actually quite relieved...

Currents
Currents
Currents has been one of my favorite Tyler restaurants for awhile, but prior to last Monday I had not visited in at least a couple of years.  Lately I’ve been gravitating to restaurants offering a more casual atmosphere, yet there is certainly something to be said for the fine dining experience...

The Purple Pig Cafe
The Purple Pig Cafe
When I first started going to the Purple Pig about four years ago it was nothing more than a good old BBQ joint. It’s still a good old BBQ joint, but now they’ve extended their menu, expanded their patio, and have managed to please their ever growing crowds with friendly service and live...

The Egg & I
The Egg & I
The Egg & I has been around for several months now, and I just got around to trying it out.  I’d heard good things, but I’m not typically a big go out for breakfast person.  I was up early last Saturday and had some free time so I decided to pop in for some good breakfast. We got a booth and...

Cajun Bayou Seafood Market
Cajun Bayou Seafood Market
A new Cajun restaurant recently opened on 155 in Flint.  Like Randy’s, it is a casual place with no air conditioning and it’s BYOB. As far as ambiance, it is basically a huge wooden patio shaded by large trees.  You walk to the counter to order, then your food is delivered once ready.  I was having...

Yamato Japanese Hibachi & Sushi
Yamato Japanese Hibachi & Sushi
I love trying new restaurants when they come to Tyler, so I have been a very happy girl lately.  I mentioned a couple of weeks ago how impressed I was with Wasabi.  So naturally I had to check out Yamato to see if it could compare. Yamato is much larger than Wasabi, and their menu is beyond extensive. ...

Wasabi Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro
Wasabi Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro
In my often expressed opinion, Tyler has been in desperate need of a new sushi restaurant, in particular, one that would be open for lunch. My sushi dance to the gods must have worked, because now Tyler has two brand new Japanese restaurants, both serving sushi and both open for lunch. Strangely enough...
