    I'm so glad we went here my niece picked this place and it was a great pick! So I'm here visiting my family from the DMV and we stayed in Tyler and was hungry. I wanted some fish and alcohol and this place had all of the above. The menu is really extensive, but I knew I wanted some catfish because we in Texas! So I ordered for an appetizer the jalapeño crawfish chowder which was so bomb! I got the platter which was with catfish and fried crawfish tails. And when I tell you all the food was tasty and had a little bit of spice! Sooo....goood! For the sides I opted for broccoli and mashed potatoes because I don't eat pork and the pinto beans were seasoned with them. Everything tasted great and I also grabbed a couple of margaritas I believe one was named the rattler and maybe the pomegranate margarita. The rattler was definitely much better than the latter. But both worth a try. Service was great she kept checking up on us throughout our time dining. The restaurant is a collection of all timely items that make it a very homey experience. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

    Food was really great! I came with my 3 kiddos and my husband. We were seated almost immediately and then greeted with a friendly server, Dakota. We ordered 3 kids chicken tender meals an and I ordered the combo. Dakota was kind enough to let me get the grilled catfish and fried catfish for my combo. I ordered the green beans and mash potatoes as my side. I highly recommend the green beans - super flavorful but they are cooked with pork. The mashed potatoes were ok, nothing special but tasty. The fish was thinly sliced but it was enough (8 oz in total). My husband ordered the grilled catfish and had steamed broccoli and rice. He enjoyed. Overall it was good.

    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.

    Happy to order a very fruity drink.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    In Tyler, Texas, the options for a decent but affordable dinner seem to fall into the hands of the…read morechains. There's plenty of nice local establishments, but some can be pricey and some are just more casual than you want. Scott Williams has perfected the restaurants of Tyler that are balanced between affordable and still quite nice. He got his toes in the water with FDs, before expanding into Javi's, Twelve, and now the fanciest of them all in III Palms. I thought of all those options, Twelve would be the most unique and tasty for my girlfriend and I. We went in an hour before they closed on a Sunday and were seated immediately. We weren't too hungry so we didn't expect to be there past their closing time, and we were ready to go. Our waiter was quick and attentive, bringing us water and helping us decide on drinks from the bar and our order. He also showed us their insane over-the-top whiskey menu. If you like whiskey, give Twelve a shot I guess. To order, I just got their 'Osaka Style' Pressed Roll while my girlfriend got a Sushi Bowl Salad. We got Sweet Potato Fries to share. As for drinks, I started with their Monkey See, Monkey Do, an impressive and firm beverage, while my girlfriend ordered their Destin Dream, a fun Pina Colada-like drink. It wasn't long before our food came out. The sushi was beautifully plated with some wasabi and pickled ginger on the side. I destroyed all the rolls. They were all very fresh and very high quality, which was remarkable for their $13.50 price tag. My girlfriend's sushi bowl looked insane. She ate most of it, but I filled the gaps and devoured the rest of it. The sweet potato fries were crispy and heavenly like all sweet potato fries usually are. I felt adventurous and I got a second drink of their Rose Garden, which was simple but flavorful. Compared to FDs, the menu might be a little more sea-inspired and more adventurous, but I think it leads to better, more unique food, especially with offerings like Oyster Rockefeller and a sushi bar. I also know Twelve does a great brunch as well, so keep that on your radar. Ultimately, as the bill came, the price was very manageable even with the alcohol. It's nice that you don't fully have to break the bank to have a nice meal in Tyler thanks to places like Twelve. I rate it a 12/10. Get it? hahahaha... RIYL: A slightly adventurous, but affordable night out.

We sat at our table for 15 to 20 minutes without a single staff member acknowledging us. No server came over, no waters were offered, and no one even checked in. The restaurant was not busy, so there was no clear reason for being ignored like this. We asked to speak with a manager and no one ever came. After waiting and realizing no one was going to address the situation, we left. This experience was frustrating and honestly unacceptable, especially for a group that made a reservation and showed up on time. If you are considering coming here, be aware that you may be seated and then completely ignored. I would not recommend wasting your time.
