Fat Catz Louisiana Kitchen
Fat Catz Louisiana Kitchen
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 5.0/5 (1 vote cast)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...
Bruno’s Pizza and Pasta
Bruno’s Pizza and Pasta
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 5.0/5 (1 vote cast)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...
Bernard Mediterranean Restaurant
Bernard Mediterranean Restaurant
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 4.0/5 (4 votes cast)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...
Basil Thai Cafe
Basil Thai Cafe
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 4.2/5 (5 votes cast)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...
Currents
Currents
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 4.0/5 (1 vote cast)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...

The Purple Pig Cafe
The Purple Pig Cafe
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 4.0/5 (2 votes cast)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...
Orange Leaf Self Serve Frozen Yogurt
Orange Leaf Self Serve Frozen Yogurt
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 5.0/5 (5 votes cast)Orange Leaf is now open. I tried a sample of the Pina Colada (pineapple mixed with coconut) yogurt and it was fab! Orange Leaf 3985 Old Jacksonville Rd Tyler, TX 75701-8519
The Egg & I
The Egg & I
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 5.0/5 (2 votes cast)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...
Cajun Bayou Seafood Market
Cajun Bayou Seafood Market
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 5.0/5 (1 vote cast)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...
Yamato Japanese Hibachi & Sushi
Yamato Japanese Hibachi & Sushi
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 3.7/5 (6 votes cast) 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...
Wasabi Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro
Wasabi Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 4.6/5 (7 votes cast)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...
Genghis Grill The Mongolian Stir Fry
Genghis Grill The Mongolian Stir Fry
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 4.7/5 (6 votes cast)I’d been dying to try out the new Genghis Grill ever since I heard they were coming to Tyler this February.  They finally opened their doors in May, and it was clear I was not the only one with a hankering for a Mongolian stir fry bowl.  Crowds...
Breakers A Seafood Joint
Breakers A Seafood Joint
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 5.0/5 (2 votes cast)During what was supposed to be a quick trip to pick up a couple gardening necessities, we realized it was also time to stop somewhere for a quick bite of lunch necessities.  But where?  I hate the days when it seems nothing sounds good, so I was both...
Mariscos DJ’s
Mariscos DJ’s
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 2.5/5 (2 votes cast)We knew we wanted to go out for dinner this past weekend in celebration of my sister’s birthday.  We’d been hearing so many good things about the new Don Juan’s seafood restaurant, Mariscos DJ’s, so picking the restaurant was a no brainer. I...
Little Italy
Little Italy
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 4.0/5 (1 vote cast)Ok everybody, it’s time to get back on track and talk about what I love most…   Good food.   Case in point – Little Italy.  Little Italy has been around forever, but I had never eaten there until this week when a colleague suggested...
J.W. Finn’s
J.W. Finn’s
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 2.5/5 (6 votes cast)I’m having a hard time remembering if I have ever been as disappointed with a restaurant as I was with J.W. Finn’s after dining there one night last week.  My savvy sis snatched up a $10 off $20 coupon on Seize the Deal, so we had a pretty...

Randy’s Crawfish & Cajun Grub
Randy’s Crawfish & Cajun Grub
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 2.0/5 (1 vote cast)I’ve been having really good luck with my restaurant choices lately, and Randy’s Crawfish is no exception.  I’ve always been of the mindset that the whole process of eating crawfish is too much work for too little payout.  However, I...
South Lake Grill
South Lake Grill
VN:F [1.9.0_1079]Rating: 5.0/5 (1 vote cast)This weekend I had the best idea ever.  It was Sunday afternoon, the weather was nothing short of gorgeous, yet I was faced with the same dilemma I’ve been facing all spring…    Where to spend a day like today?   Tyler certainly has a decent...
