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 about Coyote Sam’s is the brunch. Coyote Sam’s started serving brunch at a time when there really weren’t too many places in Tyler to eat a good Sunday brunch. Now that a couple of new breakfast places have popped up, I hope that Coyote Sam’s can continue to bring in a good brunch crowd, but if not, their regular menu and drink specials ought to get people in the door.

Coyote Sam’s offers burgers, barbecue, and several delicious appetizers such as the brisket quesadillas and venison chili cheese fries. Their pulled pork is some of the best I’ve had. They also have steaks, seafood, and some yummy salads like the Crispy Chicken and Avocado Salad. However, like I mentioned before, their brunch is my favorite thing offered. There are few things better than a leisurely weekend brunch, complete with a Mimosa and Amaretto French Toast.

No matter what you are in the mood for, Coyote Sam’s has you covered. With choices ranging from Eggs Benedict to chicken fried steak to BBQ pulled pork or a Kobe beef burger, there is something for everyone here.

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, salads, and gelato along with gourmet coffees and teas, and a small selection of wines.

Caffe Tazza specializes in what my husband may call ‘chick food’, but that’s probably why I love it so much. One of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday lunch is at one of their patio tables with my sister and a stack of magazines. We love to split the veggie sandwich on Ciabatta bread with a side of fruit and either a Chai Granita or a glass of Prosecco, and some days I like to indulge with a scoop of Spumoni gelato to finish things off.

Caffe Tazza is a great spot for unwinding with girlfriends or taking a break from a day of shopping. If your husbands or boyfriends are brave enough to come with you, they do have some delicious and hearty looking Belgian waffles and omelets, and a yummy turkey bacon avocado croissant that I would consider to be guy-approved foods. Coffee lovers must try Caffe Tazza’s signature drink, the cappuccino, with perfectly proportioned espresso, thick and creamy steamed milk and foam. Or, try a pumpkin latte if you are in a seasonal mood. Caffe Tazza is definitely a must-try for all my lady Tylerites.
