I ordered takeout: a well-done hamburger, with mustard, with a side of pinto beans. Got mayonnaise (a lot, had to scrape that off), no pinto beans, and definitely not well done. $12.95 for a takeout hamburger and the order is incorrect. Am I happy? No. Maybe one of the most important things is getting the order right. Entirely disappointed. read more

No worries I will Never come back. Worst that any seafood place I have ever been. Thanks for stomach issue hubby had after eating his that night. I'd recommend if you're going there for the booze it'll probably kill these senses of how crappy and Overly expensive this place is !! I'll tell everyone I see not to waste Their time an money. Any fast fired would've been better and we got To pay almost 50 buch Also I thought I'd just eat my side saladbagged lettuce and all hard a white. WASNOT freshly made, like the green beans. I've been in mgt in large operations. This was substandard read more

You absolutely MUST get some shrimp wontons! The menu is large enough to have something for everyone and I haven't been disappointed with anything I've tried. **But those shrimp wontons with make your tongue knock your teeth out to get to them!!!** read more

We sat at the bar but the bartender seemed too busy to really help us considering there was only 4 other people in the bar. Now let's talk the positive. The fish and chip order was huge fir only $14.99. The picture is my leftovers that I will enjoy tonight. Good food, place is clean, descent service. The service is what they could improve on. read more

Exceptional customer service, top notch food and the atmosphere is second to none. The cleanest kitchen, ice machine and bar in town..

This was my first time eating here. Excellent food. I had salmon and a double helping of seasonal veggies. It was very good!!! I highly recommend it. read more

Came here for an early dinner and was shocked at how crazy bad the traffic was. Not sure I would have made the trip if I knew what the journey was going to be like. Waitress was good but the hostess should be retired. 1/2 the tables open and they put us right where the staff rolls from the kitchen. Got to hear the cooks yelling, manager flirting and waitresses gossiping while we waited for our food. I got the Little Buddy. Fried shrimp, fried fish, fried fried and fried hush puppies cooked exactly like all the others in the chain. Tasted great and good thing my annual physical isn't soon. read more

Clear Springs Restaurant - Happy to order a very fruity drink. - Seafood Near Me - Tyler, Texas

I love this place the food never misses .. keep up the great job cooks . The server made sure we were taken care of . For that I WILL come back read more

Food is good, service is good and prices are below average. Only complaint would be some booth seats need repaired.

First time to visit and was very happy we did. Portion size was very satisfying. Service was friendly and helpful. Seating was prompt. Catfish was to my personal liking; cornmeal battered and lightly fried. Nice size filet strips. 6 filets on the reg order. Sides were good. Daughter had a burger that she enjoyed. Wife had grilled chicken breast and praised it. Definitely a return trip in the future. read more

First time visit. Cool decor and easy to find. Food a bit overpriced for the serving sizes. Had to try the shrimp. It was good but not outstanding. Shrimp needs to be cook more. Wait staff was very nice. Desserts were good. Peach cobbler was the best. read more

Food excellent. Catfish, hushpuppies, onion rings, etc. Server was efficient and polite. The Tyler restaurant was busy. We had a similar experience at the restaurants in Nagadoches and Odessa. All were very consistent. Pricing reasonable. read more

Feb 7,2023 18:00 Entered and was promptly seated. I ordered tea. Looked around at the fun, antique-y decor. Tea arrived. Looked over the menu... Looked over the menu... Noticed waitress busy working four tables besides mine, leaving an excessive amount of time to Look over the menu. So I looked over the menu... again... Hey! Where's the seafood??? There was a swordfish (apparently a lure they caught me with) on the sign out front... ummm but none on the menu. Catfish, catfish, catfish, Salmon, shrimp, shrimp... Oh fish and chips... Sweet!!! I was thinking this might be seafood. The waitress FINALLY was able to make her way to my table. I asked what kind of fish the fish and chips contained. She said the name (I've never heard of it) and explained to me that it was from Thailand and it was "engineered catfish" (whatever the F that means?) But in the end it was not seafood... it was still Catfish. Don't get me wrong I like catfish as much as anybody but I was there for seafood. I politely declined to order and left 18:15... to eat elsewhere. I just didn't want Catfish. This restaurant could use a severe menu update, entirely excluding seafood. It could well survive, if not thrive as a catfish restaurant. Perhaps a Huge catfish on the sign out. read more

If you're looking for a 'kitschy' east Texas style restaurant I would recommend Clear Springs. I've always received good service even when it's wall to wall busy. The thing I like the most is their blackened catfish and the hush puppies! Good food and a family friendly environment. read more

It's good food, but not as good as the one in New Braunsfels. The service was good. The place is cute, and clean.

Being fried catfish lovers, this place was great. We loved the large portions and lots of sides. Our server was fast and attentive. This is our new go to restaurant for fried catfish! read more

Wow, just wow. If only I could give 10 stars From start to end, the experience was amazing The decor is so fun, the music is good Our server was very nice and super helpful And oh my goodness the food was heavenly BEST FRIED PICKLES EVER I had the skinny chicken salad with fried tenders and candied Pecans (aka minus the skinny ;)) and i didn't know a salad could be so good! I will 100% be back to try more of what they have to offer (Parents reccomend the lemon chicken and grilled shrimp) read more

We've eaten at Clear Springs for years, starting at the one in New Braunfels. We go to the Tyler store, because it's the closest, and we're not vacationing in New Braunfels. We've noticed the prices on the catfish plates going up. The small was $14.95, today. The 4 catfish pieces were thin & skinny. Not much fish to them, especially for the price of the small. It looked like they cut a filet into three skinny pieces. I'm not sure we'll visit the Tyler store again. We'll just wait until we're in New Braunfels, and go to that Clear Springs. read more

Our server Ezekiel was excellent. His service and attentiveness to his customers are awesome. He made us feel welcome and comfortable. I felt like we were guest having dinner at his house. The food was great, I had the catfish which was delicious. read more

This is a nice place for seafood here in East Texas. Fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is nice. Recommend.

I tried the shrimp trio and it was delicious. The food came out quickly although she brought my gumbo at the same time she brought my dinner. I will definitely be back. read more

Food was very good, though recent prices have not gone up, they have cut back on portion sizes. They used to put the fried shrimp (platter) on a bed of wild rice, no more. The shrimp were a lot smaller size, the side dish sizes were smaller. I realize they must stay in business, I don't go out to eat often any more but when I do go, I don't want to leave a restaurant still hungry. I actually left kind of hungry, won't be going back soon I am very sorry to say read more

Great atmosphere, food was delicious and service was superb. The salmon, green beans, broccoli and hush puppies were great. Yea was good also. The honey mustard has a different taste to it, almost like it had horseradish in it, a little dab goes a long way. read more

Clear Springs is inviting and welcoming as you enter. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I personally enjoyed the music and the atmosphere of Clear Springs. We had 7 people at our table and the menu had a variety of enticing entrees for each of us. Great variety of seafood, fish, chicken, beef, salads and sides. read more

Loved everything about this place. Food and customer service was delicious. Always my favorite spot when i visit Tyler.

Can't go wrong with fried food and southern cooking! Onion rings are great! Chicken fingers were perfect. Nice place with lots to offer larger groups of people. They have salads, seafood, burgers, chicken etc. read more

One of the best places for shrimp!! I'm a really picky eater I admit but they always are accommodating for substituting sides. Love going there! read more

Decided to try this place on recommendation. Everyone raves about the onion rings here so we got them to try to me. The onions are sliced way too thick and the batter is way too thick. Our entrées themselves we're just OK nothing to rave about we did have a great server. read more

Updating my review! My five year old and I no longer live in the immediate area, but happened to be in town and decided to stop in. Once again the food was phenomenal. I seriously have to brag on the waitress, "Emily". She was beyond attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and extremely personable. I overheard two other employees talking about how she was the only waitress running at the time (it was a slower time of the day, between lunch and dinner.) You would have never known that, based off her performance. I also heard her chatting with her coworkers, the busboy, etc - she truly did seem like a great employee for the establishment. Thanks Clear Springs for another great meal! read more
