“I came into Namaste and order a plate that was the least spicy, and that proved too spicy. When the person, that had accompanied me, asked if they could calm the spiciness down, the waiters immediately took the plate back to the kitchen and made it less spicy., without making me feeling horrible for needing less spice. It did the trick! It just so happened my dish had lamb in it. The lamb was the softest best lamb I’ve ever had! The people were helpful and kind! Thank you! Carol”
“If you LOVE sushi, you absolutely need to try Ohayo Sushi in Tyler! This place is seriously AMAZING! It’s all-you-can-eat, and the quality is way better than you’d expect from an AYCE restaurant. Everything we tried was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. There are so many options that you can keep trying new things without feeling like you’re settling for the same old choices. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all fantastic. When you find a place where you leave thinking, “I can’t wait to come back,” you know they’re doing something right! If you’re in Tyler and craving sushi, GO! Bring your appetite because you’re going to want to try everything. Ohayo Sushi gets a huge 5 stars from me. I’ll definitely be back!”
“The presentation was stellar. The food and service were perfect. Scallops are the hardest to get right but they did an amazing job. The olive tapenade before the meal is worth the price of the meal! Subdued atmosphere is great for date!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Plaid Rabbit = Adventure Food + Cocktails First off my husband wanted me to write an 11 star review 🤩 A little over the top review for a destination worth writing about. We cracked the password, found the hidden entrance, and stepped into speakeasy heaven. Ethan and Bri were fantastic guides (servers), the Tyler award-winning Old Fashioned was flawless, and the Velvet Skyline (sounds odd, tastes incredible) is a must-try. We shared the Stone Fire Duck Flatbread (best flatbread ever—yes, even with duck!) and The Gatsby Burger, which lived up to its name, juiciest burger and the smell was heavenly (wish this review was a scratch and sniff). Great food, fresh ingredients, amazing cocktails, and the thrill of sneaking into a secret bar—what more do you need? We’ll definitely be back for many more visits.”
“Hosted our Staff Appreciation Dinner here tonight and I would recommend having your event here 1000%. From the start Lisa was very professional and helpful with planning our event. When I got there early before our guests arrived, our two servers (I apologize I don’t remember their names I wish I did because they deserve a shoutout) were already on the ball to make sure our evening was enjoyable. Everyone arrived, we ordered, they brought our food, food was amazing and they did not let anyone’s drinks get low. The servers worked VERY hard and did an exceptional job!! I can not say enough about how wonderful it went from beginning to end. 28 of us with no hiccups..Thank you for making our evening special!”

“It was our very first time there. They were super busy. They all were super friendly. They all were working hard to get all the orders out. The cookies are amazing. We also tried their dirty drinks. Differently for the drinks. They were so good. We will go back again.”

“This was our first time going here. We had heard good things about it. We had the boudin burger and I have to say it was yummy! Slightly spicy , great taste. Also had sweet potatoes fries. The y were good a bit over cooked but still good! A nice change from the average burger places. We will definitely go back. Price wise, not bad, 3 burgers and 2 fries about $44 dollar's. I guess waits can be long if they are busy, but I believe you can call in order and pick up if you don't want to sit in your car and wait. Definitely worth a try!!”

“Young man serving beans and ice cream had his bare hands in trash can, running hands through his hair and cut his finger on ice cream bucket. Never once did I see him wash his hands. He went from pushing trash down to serving food. Combing his hair with hands then scooping ice cream. Come on, man!”
“We had an outstanding dinner at 3 Palms in Tyler! From the moment we sat down until dessert, everything was exceptional. Our server, Andrea, was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and made the entire evening even more enjoyable. The coconut bread was incredible, like eating little clouds. The pork chop was perfectly cooked, tender, and incredibly juicy. The filet and steak medallions were both tender and packed with flavor. The filet did have a distinct charcoal flavor, which I personally enjoyed, but if that's not your preference, you may want to choose another steak option. The medallions served over whipped potatoes with the peppercorn sauce were so good that we wiped the plate completely clean. To top it all off, the Bananas Foster was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. If you're looking for a fantastic dinner in Tyler, 3 Palms is definitely worth the visit. We'll absolutely be back!”
“My hubby and I went to eat tonight and we had the best experience. Our cook Evan was the best ever. Best ever show we have seen. Our waiter Jack was very nice and kept our drinks full and was very attentive. Five Stars, Two thumbs up, loved the whole experience and atmosphere.”

“We could not have selected a better venue than The Potpourri House for our annual women's health luncheon. The Potpourri team provided excellent assistance, attention to detail, and true support of our mission from start to finish. And, as always, absolutely delicious food. We look forward to planning future events with this treasured Tyler landmark! - Jennifer Selman, Executive Director”
“We had a great experience at the Diner in Tyler. It was our first time there and we will be back. Melissa was amazing and attentive but not too much so. She really did a great job of reading the room and understanding when to approach us. The water was outstanding and with that you know the food will be quality. The coffee was excellent and the portions were great plenty to take home. Prices were lower than expected which was a bonus! Thanks for excellent service and great first experience. We will be back and we will be bringing more people 😊”
“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!!”
“I went with my mom and daughters today and we had a great experience. Jordan took great care of us and was super friendly. Two different managers came to the table to check on us. The food came out quickly and was delicious as always. It's one of our favorites so we will definitely be back.”

“This is the ONLY stand I go to and each and every time I've been the service has been exceptional. I've been going to this stand almost since it has opened and the staff is beyond friendly! Literally every Barista Emily, Shane, Amelia, Kaylee when she was there, Ty, Addie, and so many more are definitely reasons I come back outside the coffees, lemonades, and fizzes!”
“Server Hailey was awesome! friendly, knowledgeable of menu items, quick service, very attentive, Sweet girl great service Food was so good hubby had snow crab, shrimp, & lobster he did garlic butter mild on seasoning it came with corn on cob, broccoli, & red potatoes It was cooked perfectly and was delicious I had the combo fried catfish and shrimp with regular fries again cooked perfectly and was delicious We enjoyed the food so much we ordered a meal to go for our family at home for dinner”
“Travis J was great! Even though the restaurant was very busy he got our drinks, bread and food out quick and he was very friendly.”
“Awesome atmosphere and great energetic people. The drinks are AMAZING!!!!”
“I was just passing through and thought I’d stop by for a genuine margarita and large appetizer. It was great! I sat there really impressed and read a few reviews as I rarely post reviews because everyone’s opinion is different. If you’re going to venture off the beaten path don’t be so picky; enjoy the experience. If the oysters are bad simply bring it to their attention and I promise they’ll come make it right. PEOPLE, y’all don’t have to review only the ones less than perfect. Are YOU anywhere near perfect? Gods listening.”

“I stopped by for breakfast after a doctor appointment. The staff here at Whataburger was wonderful! Polite, friendly. Because I used the mobile app, my name appears on the receipt. The young man who took my order thanked me for returning, and the young man who delivered my meal put a 'Ms.' in front of my name when he greeted me! How polite and respectful of them both! I will DEFINITELY be back!”
“Had their pizza for the first time last night and it was delicious! Walking up you can smell the bread!! 🥰 Great atmosphere and just over a cool place.”

“Una experiencia muy rica en Inka’s Peruvian Latin Cuisine. Me encantó encontrar comida colombiana, venezolana y peruana en un mismo lugar. Todo estuvo delicioso, con sabores auténticos y muy bien preparado. El ambiente fue agradable y el servicio excelente. Sin duda, un lugar que recomiendo y al que volvería. 🇨🇴🇻🇪🇵🇪❤️”
“Very good food and service! I ordered the "lunch special" with pork chops, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The chops were nice and juicy, with brown gravy. If I would have known how big they were, I would have ordered the "senior"pork chop, which came with only 1 chop. I couldnt finish it all. The potatoes were instant, but very well seasoned. The only thing that kept me from giving the food 5 stars, was the green beans were still a little crunchy. My wife ordered the senior CFS; It was large enough that she could only eat half. It was a frozen, pretty breaded patty, but very tasty. The cream gravy was from a mix, but tasted like Pioneer mix, which I think is the best mix out there. We will return next time we are in Tyler, as I want to sample the Mexican menu.”
“I still prefer Piada or Chipotle over Cava, this was my first time there. The price was higher and you get less food than Chipotle. The counter help was not that friendly but not rude either. Not likely to return with the other options right there in the same parking lot.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great place for parties. Excellent service. Really good farm to table food.”

“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! 🩷”
“Everything was amazing. Our first time there and we were not disappointed. From the Scallop Appetizer to the wagyue ribeye and grilled redfish. The food was so fresh and delicious. Our server Aaron was a delight. Very attentive and so personable. We will definitely be back.”

“Family owned in the same location for 20+ years. Food and portions are always consistent and full of flavor. The Staff is always warm and friendly. With the rising cost of prices they continue to maintain and deliver a solid product time after time. Go once and you'll be back.”
“I've never been here so I checked the reviews, before I came. There were a lot of negative posts. People were saying that the food was not good and the service was terrible. Those reviews must have been from a long time ago. I was there with a large party on a very busy night and the food was very good and the service was great. I would definitely go there again.”
“We really love Andy’s. We like the fact they launched an app to track rewards. We can also upload cash to the app and pay with the app. This comes in handy if we have been walking the trails and want a quick treat and we don’t have our wallets. However, not all employees are trained on how to take payment from the app. On numerous occasions we have been told “I don’t know how to do that”. Tonight we were actually told “you can’t use the app to pay”. When I questioned further she said “I don’t know how to do it, so you can’t use it”. Why couldn’t she go ask someone how to do it?”
“My wife and I dropped in to The Catch for a little dinner, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We found the food to be quite good...delicious, in fact, and not over-priced, and a most relaxed atmosphere. It was refreshing to be "laid back" and not at all "stuffy". They had an employee named Megan that was delightful...very personable and made our visit to The Catch so enjoyable that it will not be "one and done"; we will be back!”
“Manuel runs a tight ship there at the Longhorn! Food, service, and atmosphere are always exceptional. I recommend adding the parmesan crust to your steak and getting a skewer of the redrock grilled shrimp!”
“I have never been side of the bar. I useto live in Pittsburgh Tx and the videos of the dance let's me remember me and my husband dancing. I have lost him 13 years ago. And left him in East Texas and moved to the panhandle of Oklahoma.”
“Nice selection of beers, GREAT chicken poblano tacos, friendliest of staff, and a 2:00 start to happy hour! Plenty of TV’s for your sports entertainment. Sorry, I wolfed the tacos before I could snap a pic.”
“It’s an awesome place to hangout especially the atmosphere. If you’re looking to dance and not care who’s watching this is the place to be at for real. Would give this place 10 stars but only allow 5 🤭🤭🤭🤭”
“Best hibachi ever. Great food great service and wonderful atmosphere”
“All of it. The service, decor, the ambiance, the noise level, and I haven’t even gotten to the amazing food. It’s a great place to celebrate.”

“Who knew food and feelings where so closely connected, I suppose that's how Gordon Ramsey made a name for himself!
If your feeling hungry, I assure you the food will definitely satisfy, but the atmosphere will keep you coming back for more.
Lago Del Pino is one of those places that you feel you have to keep secret, so that it won't be ruined for your next visit, it Won't.
The Live Music, the Amazing food, the location, and the attentive staff(real people) will leave you feeling, very satisfied.
I hope I don't end up waiting in line behind you.”
“Great club!! It's perfect to celebrate a birthday or bachelor/Bachelorette party. I actually catered a birthday party here (see pics). The building is huge, it's clean, staff is very friendly, nice pool tables and great DJ!!”
“Absolutely the best pizza I’ve had in years. Buttered garlic crust, fresh veggies and the meats look and taste as if they are cooked onsite and not frozen. Greatness 👍 Staff was friendly and the decor was a throwback with a Speakeasy vibe.”
“My husband and I went to Chilis in Tyler a few days ago. Our server, Macy, was FABULOUS! She was attentive and responded well to any questions we had. Our only complaint was the chips. They have changed the chips, and they are awful! We definitely will go back, and hope to have Macy again. We won't be ordering the chips but the rest of the food is always good.
Keep Macy and bring back the old chips!”
“Our waitress was very friendly and the inside of the restaurant was cool. No lemons with any of the seafood we ordered which was a first. And all the fried food is very thickly breaded.”
“The only spot I like to drink when I come into town. Best karaoke experience you’ll get also! Happy Birthday drew!”
“Dinner fajitas with all the trimmings plus movie theater popcorn to complete our “stay at home” movie night! Yumm #supportyourlocalrestaurants”
“Great staff, intimate environment!! Had a blast seeing everyone on the 21st! Will definitely be there next month for Buckcherry!!!!”
“We had a great experience. From the time we walked in the door, everyone kind & helpful. Our server was Tara. She was delightful. And made sure we had all we needed& wanted.”

“Just completed our first visit to China King Chinese Buffet in Tyler, Texas. We found nothing worthy of lowering the rating except we arrived on a Sunday afternoon along with many others. The atmosphere was like a carnival with so many families and children running around. Had we chosen a different time, I'm certain the atmosphere would have been more to our liking. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. We plan to make this our #1 choice for Chinese food.”
“Lisa Parker is an excellent waitress. She has a great personality and she pays attention to the needs of the customer. She makes sure that your food tastes good and that you have everything you need. I really enjoyed my overall experience at Jimmy's Egg because of her. I will definitely go back very soon.”
“This is our favorite restaurant. The margaritas are wonderful. My favorite is the pastor street tacos. I decided to try something different. I had the birriaquesadillas. They were amazing. The blue caraco margarita was so delicious. Our waitress Juliet WAS AWESOM. Couldn't ask for a better waitress. Definitely will be back..”

“My husband and I love coming into Mercado‘s!! Today Emily was our waitress and she did a great job! She was very fun, friendly & just a joy! Michael, up front, is always so friendly when we come in. He is a character for sure. The fajitas we had today were delish!! The hot sauce is so delicious. Of course in Texas, that’s one of the only ways to judge a Mexican food restaurant.”

“Me and my family have been here so much, I’m addicted to the food. Great pricing, always huge portions, and incredibly friendly staff. Food is always hot, fresh and unbelievably good. The best hibachi I’ve ever had, and is the only restaurant that I would drive from Dallas to eat at. I can’t recommend them enough!!”

“Let me just say this place is a GEM! As soon as I walk in I’m greeted with smiles and absolute amazing customer service. One top of that for someone who is lactose intolerant, they have so many dairy free flavors which is sooo amazing! It tastes just like dairy ice cream! I am so thankful we have this here in Tyler! They will continue to have my business! 🩷”
“Me and my mom were on a road trip and decided to stop at the Starbucks and I’m so glad that we did! The location was clean. The service was great and the staff was amazing. Mariana made sure to maintain great customer service and had a great attitude with everyone that walked through the door. We definitely will be coming back to this location. A positive is that there is breakfast served at this gas station as well and it was fresh and delicious. We will definitely pass back here.”
“Big Chad and the Davis crew had a blast! Hayden was the man! Jenna was the best!”
