Great service, ordered the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes & gravy, green beans a little too salty. Chicken fried steak was the best I've had in the area; couldn't finish it. read more

Best burger and chicken fried steak in Tyler. Great value and friendly staff. Small town Cafe/burger joint ambiance. Highly recommend.

Ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and instead of fries I subbed a small salad. 13 bucks!! The worst, smallest, tasteless over mayoed chix sandwich I've ever had! PERIOD! Lettuce was out of a bag and 3 days overdue to throw out!! Will never return! read more

Wonderful experience. Delicious food with large servings. Service was perfect. Excited to go back and enjoy with my family. I had the chicken salad, my husband had the fried catfish, his grandmother had the burger and her husband had the chicken fried steak. Rave reviews all around. read more

Food and Service could not have been better, Anything you eat there will be fantastic!!!!!!!

GREAT PLACE, great people and GREAT FOOD!!! Hamburgers are terrific and chicken fried is to die for!!!

Good small business, great burgers. You are treated like family. Small town atmosphere, quiet venue.

Have eaten here several times. Food has been good every time. Staff is friendly and helpful. Enjoy the low cost meals they have for smaller portions. Good value. read more

First timer today and it's great lil restaurant! But not as little as it looks from the outside. There's a HUGE side and small side. I got the third pound burger. It's HUGE and looks way bigger than third pound. They also have a half pound OMG! Hubby got country fried steak. The GOOD: burger size and taste, grilled bun, fresh fries, good sized cups so you don't have to ask for a refill after three sips. CFS was also huge, tender, nicely breaded and had some flavor. Oh and they have a senior menu, which is nice, cuz we couldn't eat all This! Lady that waited on us was super sweet. The BAD: forgot my cheese on burger, gravy was a bit watery, mashed potatoes were instant, green beans just so so, fries could use some seasoning. Would definitely go back and try other dishes. read more

See all

Third time here and we've had a great meal each time. Today I had the burger and it's one of the best burgers I've had. The club is great too. Next up is the catfish! read more

Great Food. BIG portions. Really good value. Would totally recommend this terrific local place!

I had a steak sandwich with homemade chips. The steak sandwich was good. I liked it being served on Texas toast vs a bun. My husband had a chicken fried steak with fried & okra. Okra was very good (I ate most of it). My husband liked his food & we will be back. read more

Fantastic service, good food, and large portions! The chicken fried steak with white gravy and mashed potatoes are delicious! Attentive waitstaff. Nice hidden gem on Old Jacksonville! read more

We ordered door dash so this is not in a store review. Sons medium rare burger was medium well delivered. He said still good just next time order rare. He had the 1/3 lb burger with cheese and bacon. He gave it an 8. Fries were frozen crinkle cut and not crisp, also small portion. He said it was fine because the burger was big. Husband had the CFS, fries and green beans. He gave it an 8/9. Portion size on CFS was big, fries (frozen, crinkle cut- not so much). He enjoyed the meal. I had the chopped steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The chopped steak was a cooked hamburger patty with semi grilled onions. The potatoes, green beans, and gravy were not homemade/from scratch. I always try to give a positive review, so here it goes. This place is "home cooking", granted on a quick and easy week nights I do use shortcuts (instant potatoes, canned green beans, instant gravy) BUT if I was charging these prices it would not be the easy path. You can still make money using fresh potatoes for the mashed potatoes and French fries. Same with green beans. Brown gravy, hit me up I can teach you how. The chopped steak? It needs more depth in its flavor than a hamburger patty, again I can help you on this. The food wasn't bad. But it wasn't worth the $. Portion size on the meat was good. That's the only reason for the 8. The sides need work. I was really wanting a good down home southern cooking restaurant here locally. Sadly this is not it. Foods not bad but just doesn't reach reach great. read more

Burgers are fried on a griddle the way it should be. I'm addicted to the burgers . Best in town . I have enjoyed the fry's as well . Try it. read more

The chicken fried tenders were so meaty, flavorful and with a THICK crust. Lots of crunch! The fried chicken sandwich was good but I doubt it was a true breast--more like a slice of breast. Still would not hesitate to return. I took a star off b/c my plate had a big chip. It's a pet peeve of mine and asking for a lawsuit from a patron chocking on broken ceramic. Throw the dang thing away. read more

Kizer's Grill - Huge chip on plate. Throw away! - American Near Me - Tyler, Texas

To start, I'm a buger snob. I saw their FB ad & decided to stop in & try it. I was promptly greeted & seated by a very friendly waitress, who assured me she sat me in the most comfortable booth in the place. Within a minute, a sweetheart of a waitress took my drink order & upin her return, I ordered the 1/3lb. cooked medium, with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles & cheese. My food arrived within 5 minutes. The burger patty, which you could tell was handmade, was so large, it hung over the sides of the bun. Plenty of mayo & mustard were on the buns (both top & bottom-personal pet-peeve, so bonus points) & the burger was cooked perfectly. Plenty of toppings. Fabulous hand cut, seasoned well, fries on the side. Very rare for me not to add salt or pepper to my burger & fries, but no need to here. The burger was so large, I could have split it, but so good, I ate most if it! The only 2 changes I'd make, is the bun & cheese. Switch to brioche, so you don't have the gummy, stick to your teeth bun & it hold up better to all the juicy goodness. Use real cheddar vs American cheese. Over heard another customer tell his waitress that the chicken fried steak is the best he's ever had, but also so is their catfish. Don't let the location fool ya! It's a tucked away hidden gem! read more

We recently dined at Kizer's Grill for the first time, after seeing their ad stating they had reopened. We were both hungry for some southern comfort and wanted to try their chicken fried steak. I have had chicken fried steak from Beaumont to El Paso and Brownsville to Dalhart. Now I like a LOT of cream gravy on my steak and fries or mashed potatoes and extra for the Texas toast, so when I order I ask for "lots of gravy, gravy on my gravy." I recall only one time, at a restaurant in Ft. Worth, being told there would be a charge of 50¢ for extra gravy, which I agreed to. They brought out my meal, swimming in gravy, along with a nice bowl full of gravy. Perfect! At Kizer's I was told there would be a 75¢ charge for an extra cup of gravy. Okay, I suppose the cost of flour and milk has gone up since the Ft. Worth meal a couple of months ago. My order was brought out with gravy covering maybe half the steak and the "cup" of gravy was a tiny styrofoam container with 3 oz. of gravy at best. Petty? Perhaps to some, but gravy is a "thang" with me. I doubt that I'll return to try their catfish because I like lots of tarter sauce as well:) read more

$11.23 and this is what I'm served burnt fries and a soggy burger complete garbage. You need to seriously take more pride in what you serve. If you need some tips I'd be happy to come show you how to cook. read more

This please is close at 3pm on Thursday. They say they are on modified hours. So why do they not have that shit posted. Oh well guess who will not be back EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great local neighborhood restaurant with excellent food at reasonable prices. May be short of staff once in a while like most establishments, but their servers are great. The 1/4 "daily special" has to be more than a 1/4 pound and is really good. read more

Hamburger was huge! Everything was great. The only complaint I have is it was a little warm in there. But other than that great!

Went for lunch today. Ordered a 1/4# burger with no lettuce, tomatoes, or mustard. Came with tomatoes and mustard, sent back. Came back with the same burger but torn into three pieces, with the original bun scraped out. Said I was done and sent back burger, they graciously said they would not charge me for the burger. My husband's burger came out fine but it was not that good. Have been here a few times and has always been good but not this time. read more

I tend to be very wary when Facebook suggests something for me. But this time Facebook's algorithm hit it out of the park!! My husband and I LOVE a good hole-in-wall restaurant, Kizer's fits that bill to a "T". There was no blaring music. Plus. The atmosphere was family casual. Plus What we ordered...PLUS PLUS! Hubby got the 1/3 lb burger and the meat patty was bigger than the bun! I joked with him about having to use a knife and fork to eat his burger. He looked me square in the eye and said that he never has and he never will disrespect burger and it's cook by using utensils to eat it. LOL! So we got a 2 inch stack of napkins. I ordered the chicken fried steak, sweet potato fries, and the vegetable medley. The steak y'all... the...steak... I had to take a pause in gratitude. The breading was just right, you never bit into a big 'ol of batter. The meat was so tender you didn't need the knife they gave you with it! That vegetable medley was not just treated like an afterthought. Someone loved on those vegetables. Someone took their time on those vegetables. Lawdhavmercy! I asked our server how long had the restaurant been opened. Her reply was "only a few months" So I need y'all to touch and agree with me now, in the mighty name of good food. We will NOT let this place fall by the wayside! They now serve breakfast, y'all!! Get here as soon as you can and come back often...you might see me there. I'll be the one that they have to carry out in a wheelbarrow! read more

I visit Kizer Grill fairly often. Food is good and reasonable price. The staff is good. The waitresses are wonderful. Savanah, Kaylee, Kayleigh, and Jenn make my visit better. Each with their own personality. read more

Short staffed when I went but the food was amazing. Big portions and budget friendly. I think it's the best chicken fried steak I've had.

Awesome food ! Order is always correct and very fair pricing . We have tried about everything on the menu, all taste wonderful and large portions read more

I tried this restaurant tonight for the first time. They were so very nice. I was stuck on a business call when I pulled up & a lady came out & asked me if I was picking up & got my card & brought out my food to the car. I couldn't even eat it all because it was big!! I will definitely be back! read more

I know getting help these days is hard, but our last experience at Kizer's was very disappointing. We've eaten there a couple of times prior and were very impressed with how good the food was. So, we thought we'd try it for breakfast. As we were entering the building, two gentlemen were leaving (will address this later in review). We entered the door and stood inside to wait to be seated. We stood there for 4 to 5 mins. and no one assisted. So we sat down at a booth by the door. Waited & waited and still no assistance. The wife got up and got two menus from the desk at the front door. We read the menu for breakfast and sat there for 15 more minutes, still no waitress or waiter. We knew there were employees present because we could hear them chatting behind the wall that leads to the kitchen. We finally decided to leave and were very disappointed with the experience. Went to "Mama's" on Broadway and had a nice breakfast with quick service. We looked across the room and there were the two gentlemen we saw leaving Kizer's earlier. They apparently had the same experience we had. We're going back this afternoon to try the "All You Can Eat" Catfish dinner. Hopefully, the experience will be better. This will be "their" last chance with us. Will follow up with today's review. Okay, we went back for the "All You Can Eat" catfish dinner in the afternoon. The food was really good and the service was great. We were charged $12.99 for each dinner although the sign for their Specials at the door said it was $10.99. Hopefully, they'll improve the service in the mornings and correct their Specials sign. Brought the rating up to 3 Stars. read more

We were passing through Henderson and found Kizer's Grill a convenient place to stop along the way. The food was wonderful! The style is home style country and is awesome comfort food. My kids, who rarely eat all their food, polished their plates for the most part. Plus, for every adult entree you order, one of your kids eats free. The service was awesome too. Our drinks were never empty, the server was always prompt and super friendly. read more

Best all you can eat catfish in Tyler by far. Portions are big and price is fair. Great small place to visit if you're in the area.

Just great food and service. The burgers, catfish and chicken fried steak are all top notch. The breakfast is great too. Best pork breakfast sausage I've ever had. Just a great local place. read more
