    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Place suck. We Sat down at the bar for 10mins and nobody greeted us. Look at them dead in the eye without any greetings.

    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…

    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.

    Great atmosphere and service. Great drinks! Wish it had…read moremore space but overall A+ locale.

As the restaurant jokingly notes, they have the worse parking situation in Tyler. In reality, it was not the worst, but it is not good. There are just a handful of spots around the restaurant so you have to drive around and find a place. There was a line, but it moved pretty quickly. There was plenty of seating outside and there is an air-conditioned seating area that I did not see until we were already seated. The kid had the chopped brisket sandwich and although she did not like it very much, I tried it and I liked it better than my sliced brisket. The wife had a Texas taco (with brisket) and liked it. I had 1/2 pound of brisket, lean. The price was much lower than in Dallas. I added a side of Mac n' cheese. The brisket had great bark and was super tender. I got the lean that I wanted, but honestly it was a bit dry. Plus, I mistakenly applied the hot and spicy sauce to my brisket and it was so incredibly peppery that it was virtually inedible. I had to scrape it off and apply the regular sauce. I cannot who can tolerate that peppery sauce, it was just way too hot. For reasons we never understand but that always seems to happen, big groups that came after us were served their food before us. I don't get how that always happens. Overall, it was a good experience and if we return II would try some different things on the menu.

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!!

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.
