    Honestly I am NOT a beer drinker. Or I wasn't until tonight that is. The drinks they brew at ETX is top quality and I can absolutely see myself coming back with more company!! I've already been bragging to some out if state friends about it!

    Nice find during a trip to see family in Tyler. The kids both got the hot honey crispy chicken sandwich, and I got the double cheeseburger. They loved the chicken sandwich, and their fries had a great seasoning. My burger was pretty good. The meat was a little tough but the taste was great. And the tater tots were outstanding. The table and chairs felt a little dirty and a couple of our chairs were wobbly, but overall this was an excellent experience. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. The place was big and welcoming with games to play and a cool vibe. We'll be back.

    Food was great. Vibe was really cool for a family experience. The wait was kind of long but if you had a beer to drink you would have been fine with it. Come enjoy this place and make them busy beyond belief!

    Shopping in Tyler and wanted something that wasn't a chain. Stopped here. At first confused when we walked in where to look for a menu or a place to sit. They had big parties that took all the tables, but we found one next to the claw machine which was annoying because kids were playing it and it was right at my elbow. Also the kids were playing with the pool table. I found a menu on line but when I turned around the cashier was giving my husband a menu. I ran up there and he had ordered a pulled beef sandwich with fries. Our buzzer went off and my husband went up and got the two trays of food. Appearance wise not very impressive but the French fries were fresh looking and they were nice and hot. The sandwich filling was a bit stingy, but it was delicious. A little too much jalapeños not enough bbq sauce. But that's my preference. Hubby had a couple of beers and each one was nice and cold and pretty delicious. We may come back next time in Tyler.

    Great place to hang out for great beer and food. Can't remember the name of the beer we had, but both were good - if you can't decide what beer you want, they give you samples to try. Had the ultimate nachos, and they were so good. Would definitely recommend it.

    Do you have any flights available? Like if I wanted to sample all 3 ambers to figure out which is gonna be the favorite.

    Any time I've been there they have been happy to provide a taster or two to make sure you get something you'll like.

    Are the fries Hand cut or frozen?

    Doug, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the fries are frozen. The Porch at ETX Brewing strives to provide as many things from scratch as possible, to include our house ground burgers, but the fries, at least for now, are frozen. We have… Read more

    Black Pearl - One lil oyster

    After dinner on The Square, we made a pit stop at Black Pearl, a small, narrow bar attached to…read moreRick's On the Square. We all ordered a drink. My friend and my girlfriend both ordered their espresso martini that my friend claimed was the best espresso martini in town, while I got the bartender's recommendation of the Animal Style, a pineapple and jalapeño infused tequila with strawberries, cardamom bitters, and a lemon peel garnish. Normally, I hate any drink that is spicy. I cannot stand a Bloody Mary because I don't believe drinks should be allowed to be spicy, but this one, for having jalapeño, is not spicy at all. If anything, it's slightly savory with its tropical flavor. The bartender was great. They have appetizers and tapas as well and as my girlfriend sat down, she really wanted just one of their fresh oysters. I ordered her just one to try and it was $4.25. They gave us the smallest one they could find. The tiniest oyster of all time. I guess size really didn't matter because according to her it was very good. I would go back and have a few more cocktails, but it is a nice place to hang out on the square on a Friday night. A good time to be had by all. RIYL: The finest, most $15ish cocktail you can find.

The food (oysters again) simply fresh, almost as if I were in some beachside cafe. All the oysters here are from cold water places Nova Scotia for one. A small delicacy to reward myself after a long week. Dark , cool, and welcoming, my type of place. Great company and friendly folks too. This is where we get ready to cha cha, swing, rhumba, and tango. Ran into my fellow veteran friend Al whom I met my first time here. Wonderful food, friends, and company. You'll love it too. Go !

    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!!

The family had pazookie's for desert. I was too full to get one. They had some cool techno music playing over the speakers. The lights were dimmed very nicely. Our waiter was awesome. Super cool guy was working the bar as well. Very knowledgeable about their beers and some others that compare nicely. I also had a drink called the lucky ducky. It comes in a little bathtub with a yellow duck floating in it. It was super tasty. We were so full that we were miserable. lol I'm a good way. We will all be back. I also bought the lucky ducky bath tub to take home without the drink of course.

    Food & band deserved more, but service and billing ruined the experience…read more This was both our first and last visit to this establishment. Don't get me wrong--the food itself was great once everyone finally received their meals, and the live band was absolutely phenomenal. We came in with an open mind as a family of four and really enjoyed the atmosphere and music. There was a mix-up early on when we were told there wasn't enough steak for everyone to order what they wanted. We were understanding and chose different menu items instead. When the food came out, my youngest son's burger was missing. Followed by being served another tables burger - resulting in it being taken back. He had to wait an additional 25 minutes before finally getting his meal. On top of that, my sides were incorrect. When I asked for the fries I had originally ordered, the waitress came back and somewhat just flopped them onto the table. After finishing our meal, my husband and I took a moment to agree on a proper tip. We wrote it in clearly, added it to the total, and left the bill for the waitress to pick up. We stayed well over an hour afterward enjoying the band, but she only came back to our table twice to check on us. Later, when we checked our bank statement, we noticed we had been charged a different amount than what we had written. I called to ask about the discrepancy and was told that the tip amount we knew we had written was "clearly" something else. I was told I could come down to collect the difference, followed by, "What do you want me to do about it?" I was also told it was her first night alone on the floor, and if I was "insinuating she changed it, she didn't." It was a horrible way to end what could have been a really enjoyable evening. The food was great, the band was amazing, and the staff at the bar were friendly --but the repeated issues and the tip modification left the worst taste in our mouths. We won't be returning. My only recommendation for those who do go: bring cash.
