Fish City Grill
Fish City Grill
Fish City Grill Revisited After our first experience at Fish City Grill, we had mostly made our minds up that we were NOT going back.  However, the raving comments some of you left after our last review and the owner’s warm invitation to come back and give it another try convinced us to...

Jakes Tyler
Jakes Tyler
There are two types of articles that are especially fun for me to write.  The reviews of really bad experiences, and reviews of really great experiences.  Luckily, Friday night at Jakes I had a really, really great experience.  My sister and I decided to make an impromptu trip downtown just to get...

Fish City Grill
Fish City Grill
If the Fish City Grill is a sinking ship, then our server last night was the captain.  And unfortunately, the food did little to preserve the life of this vessel. We arrived last night, a Wednesday evening, and were excited and optimistic to try Tyler’s newest seafood restaurant. ...

Einstein Bros Bagels
Einstein Bros Bagels
A Formal Apology I wrote before about my first impression of Einstein Bros Bagels restaurant and coffee shop.  It wasn’t necessarily bad, but it wasn’t good either.  It would be fair to say that I thought it was just ok.  I’d like to take this opportunity to say I was wrong,...

Coyote Sam’s Bar & Grille
Coyote Sam’s Bar & Grille
I love Coyote Sam’s for two main reasons.  First, their location is beautiful.  Coyote Sam’s boasts tall ceilings, rustic architectural details, a stone entrance, and a a huge patio area which make this restaurant one of the most visually appealing in Tyler.  The second thing that I love...

Dakota’s Chop House
Dakota’s Chop House
Dakota’s Chop House is one place in Tyler that I feel doesn’t get enough love.  The food is delicious, the service is always good, and the ambiance is nice.  Owned by Jimmy Lynn, who also owns Cimarron, Dakota’s offers a nice selection of steaks, seafood and even a chicken fried steak...

Newk’s Express Cafe
Newk’s Express Cafe
Located in front of Home Depot on the corner of the Loop and Old Jacksonville, Newk’s has got to be one of the best new places in Tyler – especially for lunch.  It’s trendy decor, well stocked menu, and cool take home plastic cups all combine to make a winning combination.  Just...

Mercado’s Mexico Restaurant
Mercado’s Mexico Restaurant
Lit up like a giant circus festival with it’s colorful exterior and flashing neon lights, Mercado’s Mexico Restaurant somehow manages to draw a crowd each and every night.  It even seems as though each time we have out-of-town guests come visit, their first request is Mercado’s. ...

Los Gueros Taqueria
Los Gueros Taqueria
Tyler has a pretty decent selection of small, mostly Mexican, hole in the wall restaurants that are pretty darn good and definitely worth checking out.  Like I mentioned before, I am a fan of authentic Mexican food.  A big fan.  I like Tex-Mex if it is good and fresh, but not any of that frozen,...

Lindo Mexico Restaurant
Lindo Mexico Restaurant
Notable hole in the wall numero dos would be another taqueria, Lindo Mexico on East Gentry. The thing that makes this place notable is the freaking unbelievable prices. For two crispy chicken tacos with rice and beans and a set up of chips with salsa and queso the price is only $3.99. And the food...

Taqueria El Lugar
Taqueria El Lugar
Numero tres isn’t so much of a hole in the wall anymore, though it did start out that way…  El Lugar – what every hole in the wall dreams of becoming, started with one small location on Gentry, but now has locations on Troup, in Bullard, and on 5th Street.  I’ve never eaten...

Andy’s Frozen Custard
Andy’s Frozen Custard
Just like my occasional uncontrollable sushi cravings, I sometimes get equally strong Andy’s cravings.  It just so happened that the last time an Andy’s craving struck was following a yummy sushi dinner at Shoguns.  I thought I might as well calm two cravings in one night, so I hit up...

Shogun of Japan
Shogun of Japan
One genre of restaurant currently lacking in Tyler, in my opinion, is sushi restaurants.  Luckily, despite the lack of sushi establishments, the sushi options we do have here are fantastic, particularly, Shogun of Japan.  Shoguns is a Japanese hibachi/sushi restaurant with two locations in Tyler,...

Oliveto Italian Bistro
Oliveto Italian Bistro
On a whim, we decided to have lunch today at Oliveto, Tyler’s new Italian restaurant.  After hearing several good mentions, I had my hopes up that this could perhaps be a decent replacement for my beloved Fiore (RIP).  Located on Troup, across from Chick-fil-A and next to Cafe Frontera, Oliveto...

Chez Bazan French Bakery & Cafe
Chez Bazan French Bakery & Cafe
One of my favorite lunch eateries in Tyler is unfortunately one that I often forget…  Eating lunch at Chez Bazan during the week is impossible due to the location of my office, but on the occasion I get off work early, or on a relaxing Saturday I love stopping in for one of their specialty...

Don Juan Mexican Restaurant and Cantina
Don Juan Mexican Restaurant and Cantina
Tyler definitely has its fair share of Mexican restaurants, some good and others not so good.  Don Juan’s, however, is one of the great ones.  In fact, I am willing to make the proclamation right now that it is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Tyler.  Of course, I love Villa Montez, too,...

Julian’s Asian Diner
Julian’s Asian Diner
What a pleasant surprise it was for me to enter Julian’s Asian Diner and find a non-buffet Asian restaurant.  Previously limited to Chinese buffets and Japanese hibachi grills, before Julian’s opened it’s doors, Tyler desperately needed a sit-down style Asian restaurant. Julian’s...

Sonoma Grill
Sonoma Grill
California Style Meets Texas Flavor I love going to Sonoma Grill for the salads and appetizers, but they have a little something for everyone, including half priced bottles of wine every Tuesday.  Their wine selection is pretty good, too – I like the spicy Malbecs.   And for the martini lovers,...

Caffe Tazza
Caffe Tazza
What’s the best place to go in Tyler for a light brunch and a specialty coffee or tea?  Caffe Tazza, obviously.  Located in the Harley’s shopping center next door to Garden Style (best florist in town, by the way), Caffe Tazza offers a selection of breakfast pastries, muffins, sandwiches,...

Einstein Bros Bagels
Einstein Bros Bagels
My sister and I decided to grab a quick lunch at Einstein Bros Bagels on Saturday. When we arrived, the dining room was pretty crowded, but the line to order food wasn’t too long. Before we ordered we stood to the side for several moments trying to decide what to order. We both had a pretty...
