    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table and chairs felt a little dirty and a couple of our chairs were wobbly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but overall this was an excellent experience. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was big and welcoming with games to play and a cool vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll be back.

    Food was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vibe was really cool for a family experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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…

    Just exactly what can one say about a perfect meal?…read more First off, I'm ashamed I can't remember the name of this drink. It's a variation of an Old Fashioned. Bunny's "God of Fire." Sorry, had stop right there and look it up. It's double smoked Ironroot Prometheus bourbon, angostura & walnut bitters, and a toasted marshmallow. I don't know who thought this up, but I want to kiss them. It's a little smoky and a little sweet, but subtle. And the longer it sits, it gets almost a little creamy. Especially nibbling on the toasted marshmallow before and after. I tried both. Sublime, a little surreal. I feel like I need a long night drinking just these in slow deliberation. That might be a good hot summer night activity. The deviled eggs? Honestly, and maybe I should be ashamed of this, I can't remember if I've ever had deviled eggs with ham in the mix. Or for that matter, with Texas caviar. Like, what even have I been doing with my life? The Wagyu Tartare came with house okra relish on the corner of the plate, drops of fried egg mayo, these little tiny blue flowers called Borage blossoms, that I, a grown ass man, somehow much closer to 50 than I ever planned on, just got fucking giddy about. But, I tell you what, don't you dare scoop some of that Rosewood Ranch beef tartare onto one of those in house made sumac dusted kettle chips with a dab of that okra relish, take a bite, nibble that toasted marshmallow, and then sipped the Bunny's God Of Fire, and then tell me you didn't step thru a motherfuckin' looking glass of some kind. Softly surreal. Comforting. Sublime. Also, just FYI, you don't really appreciate the okra relish until you try it by itself. There is a crispness to it that is almost etheral. And then you feel like you understand the sensory play of texture and taste a little better. My entree was the 14oz Texas Akausi strip, with the hand cut fries, and horseradish mayo. Seasoned with high quality fine French sea salt and black pepper, pan seared in Wagyu tallow and basted with thyme, smashed garlic clove, and butter, before finishing in the oven and sitting in a container of melted Waygu tallow before resting on the cutting board and being sliced. Read that again, slowly. It sounds like a night in bed with Jane Mansfield. I don't know how else to describe. Why yes, the fries are amazing. Of course they are. Everything is amazing here. I feel silly, like I'm just on here hyping one of my favorite people and food spots, but Oh My God, have you even been here? Everything is great. But if I'm being honest. For true true. That softly medium rare Akausi with a dab of that horseradish mayo, another sip of Bunny's Fire Of God. It's a sensuous experience. For dessert, I got the chocolate mousse, and the homie got the First Amendment Lemon Pound Cake, which Lance McWhorter came up with in honor of Afroman winning his case against "The Man." As if I needed anymore reason to love him. The chocolate mousse, I'm afraid I could eat this by the tub. Like, I brought home half my steak and fries I was so full. Wouldn't have even thought about dessert had I been anywhere else. I damn near licked the bowl clean at the table like a dog. Just embarrassing. That glob of white stuff, are super cheesy grits. I'll post some pics of food we got to see as it was prepared later, but, I will say, yes, it was delicious. Especially on the fries. Honestly, I think I can make a meal of the eggs and tartare alone. And Bunny's Fire Of God. Absolutely stellar meal. But more than that. It's an experience. One I highly recommend. I'd give it a scale rating, but there's no scale for this. Not in these parts. This place is in a class all it's own. It's another beautiful day, East Texas. I hope you're enjoying it. #ztfu #sabaileyproject #iloveyouetx #writerfoodiegunguy #foodiesofetx #hippiebarbarian #foodiesofdallas #foodiesofig #easttexas #tylertx

Got an exceptional burger, home made chips and a drink for $12.99 including tax. Also had a great waitress but forgot her name. Best deal I've seen in a while for really good food. Make the stop.

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.
