He is a truly phenomenal chef with very fair pricing. I highly recommend him for any special event.

Pretty. Had a great at home brunch for four compliments of a silent auction win. Azalea's typically…read moredoes tables for 25+ pax so our small party was not the norm but the set up/ hands off approach is the same. How it works is this, you call, schedule your meal time, give your address and party numbers and that's it. Azalea will arrive in the time needed for you to eat on time ( about an hour for us), and they bring everything, from napkins to glasses there is nothing you need to do, clean or prep for and as you see they make a beautiful table. There is no rush to eat since the catering company departs, you will receive any needed information (ie put all dishes in this basket) and they return at a later time/ date to collect. The food is cute, mini and gives a nice presentation. For taste I'd give 3 stars, it's ok but there is plenty of variety if you like one thing over another. I think the average plate is $25-$75 depending on what you order/ if mimosas are involved etc. it was a fun experience.

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!

I'm still thinking about how amazing the food was and how great they were. They were even social with me when I went to say thank you to them. I would absolutely recommend them for any events you have coming up!

For starters, there is a Starbucks and a Walgreens pharmacy attached, which seems pretty typical for a grocery store, but then you see they have a gelato shop, a pizzeria, a grill with a patio, a taqueria, and more. Their huge patio space makes it a place that people of Tyler love coming to and eating at. This is like a Whole Foods for Tyler. The options and selections were a lot more vast than I had ever seen. I'm seeing fruit and produce I've never seen before. They have so much wine and beer to choose from. Their bakery has so many insane options. FRESH even has a full playground next door and live music on their patio. It's honestly a really impressive shop. One of the only downsides of FRESH is that you're going to pay that price tag. Everything is always slightly more than elsewhere in town. Its quality is what makes it worth the visit. It feels like one of a kind as a grocery store, which is why it took 10-plus years to open a second location. It's not only a grocery store, it's part of the Tyler community.

Was hoping for a nice lunch with the fam and was totally let down. The waitress kept drinks full. She was very nice. The chip thing and the weird tasting fajitas just threw me off. I want to go back and give them a second chance because this place has always been good.
