We went here for lunch after looking around Lake Palestine for some land…read more The ambience is very attractive and feels like a Texas restaurant. We were seated upstairs and it was cold because the AC blows directly onto the tables. The complimentary chips and salsa were very good. Salsa has some kick and the chips were fresh and not greasy. The wife had chicken and waffles and really liked it. I had the chicken fried breast and it came out hot. The crust was crispy. The chicken was tender and moist. The gravy needs some salt and pepper because it was pretty bland. The mashed potatoes and collards were excellent. The kid had quesadilla and liked it. Our server Eli, who worked very hard going up and down the stairs for all the tables upstairs, was professional and efficient. I bet she is tired at the end of a shift after going up and down stairs for hours at end. Overall, we liked this place very much and I think we will return the next time we are in the area.

I ordered the skirt steak with rice and queso . It comes with tortillas on the side so you can make tacos if you like. All of the food is super tasty and fresh ! The steak was cooked to perfection.

The patty melt was way better than their burger. Just had way more flavor and better bun to meat ratio. The bread on the Tyler just was too much. The mac and cheese fries were good and well seasoned. Again it might be some Tony's on that ;) Had to have a beer cause it's a brewery and that would be like going to a steak house to order pasta. Tried the coconut stout which was good. The nitro stout was smooth but not much taste. Nice big patio and good seating inside. Enjoyed.

The Peruvian Shrimp tacos were delicious. I had a Javi margarita that I loved!! I would definitely come back whenever I am in Tyler.

I stopped by Javi's in Tyler last minute to meet up with a friend, and honestly, I'm glad I did!…read moreThe ambience was freaking amazing from the beautiful chandeliers to the pond in the back and the spacious patio area. The whole place gives off so many different vibes, and there's plenty of room to relax, hang out, and enjoy yourself. The drinks were definitely the highlight, especially the frozen drinks! I also had a few shots. They give complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a nice touch. However the salsa wasn't really my favorite. It was pretty bland and felt like it was missing that extra flavor and kick. That's just me. I didn't get a chance to try the food this visit, so I can't speak on that just yet but that gives me another reason to come back! I'll definitely be back to give the food a try and experience the atmosphere again. Overall, great spot for the vibes, drinks, and atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Tyler!

First time at BJ's today. Greeted and seated promptly, then they even accommodated us in moving…read moretables (NOTE: bring a jacket if you're sensitive to the cold) - some of the tables are directly under the vents and it's COLD! Great atmosphere, very clean and super friendly staff! Now, the important stuff: the food. We started by sharing a wedge salad, complete with bacon, blue cheese dressing, blue cheese chunks (yum!) and all the crispiness a wedge brings. Very fresh and the dressing was a clue cheese lover's dream. Had the pickle ranch wings and the chicken club sandwich with broccoli cheese soup on the side as our entrees. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Now, here's what you should absolutely order if you go here. Do not skip the pretzel with a side of beer cheese or the desserts. The pretzel is like the old Auntie Anne's pretzels in the mall years ago - only a thousand times better!! I will never come here and not order this again every single time. If you like huge, fluffy, salty, crispy on the outside pretzels, this is THE place to get them!! 10 out of 10! For dessert, we got the trio dessert (can't remember the name), but it came with 3 different skillet cookies, topped with ice cream and whipped cream and it was sinful how good they were! We got the chocolate chunk, the caramel and the strawberry shortcake. No words. Just drool. Lots of drool! I can't wait to come back and try their burgers, steaks and pizza - they looked so good too as I watched them being carried out to other tables. They have an extensive menu so you will not have a problem finding something you like. Shout out to our server Devin - she was fantastic, very helpful, kind and very attentive to all of our needs and special requests! Bartender Todd was also amazing and so friendly! The manager even stopped by our table to ensure we had a great experience. We definitely did! I'm so impressed with the service and food here at BJ's - I think it's my new favorite place in Tyler! Thanks for a GREAT dining experience!!

Doesn't compare to other BJ's Restaurant's I've been to…read more 1. Food was meh. I ordered the three course Prime Rib special for Friday night. Medium Rare. I wanted a loaded baked potato. I ordered sweet potato fries and a chocolate / chocolate pizzookie. Prime Rib came out over cooked. Cosistency and taste was like microwaved roast beef. Cold. Meh. I've had better at other BJ's. In Tyler, Texas Roadhouse is where you wanna be. No loaded baked potato. I was told it was "eight sixed from the kitchen" so I had to settle for mashed potatoes. cold. Meh. Sweet potato fries. Cold. Meh. Wedge Salad - I've seen better. Maybe 80% of the size I'm used to. It tasted good. I ordred a Diet Cherry Coke. They only have Pepsi products here. Service was decent. I tipped the server well. The music sucked at first. Sounded like I was in a club with pounding bass music going at like 190 BPM. It was giving us a headache.

She listened to our needs and helped us choose foods and drinks that turned out to be perfect. When the Meat Lover's Pizza arrived, she asked "do you want some ranch" like she was reading our minds. She was serving a big crowd due to a ball game on the overheard TVs and did so with charm and grace. Because of you, Krista, we'll be back real soon!!

So we stood there for about 10 min, received no greeting (for the record they weren't busy, there was not a line and few ppl at tables).

The customer service was great, friendly, and fast. I also really liked the restaurant layout, with both indoor and outdoor seating that makes it a comfortable spot to hang out.

Their meat was tender and juicy, the sausages are made in house, and they make them gluten free so that was a pleasant surprise. The outdoor area is very nicely laid out, it has a stage for bands that come and play. I will say the pricing is a little insane. $6 for a singular sausage link is pretty pricy. We ended up spending $65 in total after tipping the staff. I would come back if I was in the area and needed a meal that I knew was safe for my allergy. The barbecue sauce was also gluten free!

Their taproom is a moderate size, but their large patio and outdoor spaces allow for seemingly all of Tyler to have a seat at True Vine. I came on a Saturday evening and had a few pours with my girlfriend and a longtime friend. I had The Phoenix Lights Amber and a darker beer as well. Both were great, and the staff were all nice. The thing I remember most was that my friend and my girlfriend both had their Daddy's Shandy, which fuses their Daddy's Juice Box Double IPA with their house-made lemonade that is really excellent. I always enjoy hitting up True Vine when I'm in town because they always seem to have it on lock. RIYL: Brewskis or the largest outdoor space you've ever seen. Like multiple acres.
