    Bar area

    After ordering at the counter, they make your food and bring it to you. The seating area has half booth half table and the only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because we prefer full booths. The small metal chairs are uncomfortable for us. I had the turkey avocado bacon. It was yummy and huge. My husband had the Ruben which she couldn't even finish so we're taking it home. The service was great. There was not a lot of people here this late in the afternoon. We came at 4:00. Homemade chips and specialty drinks a plus.

    Lola's is a place you need to go to. They look like they love what they are doing! They put out a great product. We had the Grilled Cheese (3 different cheeses), French onion soup and the Yardbird sandwich. We also had the homemade potato chips too. My wife said it was the best grilled cheese she has ever had! The French onion soup was perfect. The Yardbird sandwich is huge! Grilled chicken on a fresh bun with bacon, cheese, lettuce, onions and tomatoes. You will have a hard time eating it all! The waitress was kind enough to find the Texas Longhorns (Football) on the TV when I requested it. There is plenty of things to see on the walls and the place is decorated great. When you find yourself in Tyler, Texas, give those chains a break. Go to Lola's and get Full

    Kicked-Up Chips Vol. 2 or what's left!

    Wow this place is a whole vibe with big bold flavors to match. Rockabilly, 50's diner, and buddy holly are words that come to mind. I had the Ruben and lemon dill potato salad. Very good but heads up it's a German style potato salad. We shared the kicked up chips vol 2 and wow so much flavor. My wife had the mob boss and it was the better sandwich of the too. Fresh mozzarella and SO MUCH FLAVOR! We will be coming back.

    Eggs over Texas and a mimosa
    Ashley P.

    Excellent brunch! My husband brought me here yesterday for my birthday and we loved it! They were still serving brunch so we each tried the Eggs a la Texas. It was delicious and cooked perfectly! The biscuit had the perfect crunch on the edges and those breakfast potatoes...wow! So so good!! My mimosa was really good and my husband got a Bloody Mary that he said was one of the best he's ever tasted. We can't wait til our next trip to Tyler to try out some on the sandwiches or the French onion soup

    Lola's is another one of those accidental finds that turned out to be a treasure! We were looking for a brunch place and happened across Lola's while we were at Walgreens. We love trying new places so we decided to give it a try since it was right next door. What a find! They serve brunch on the weekends until 2, and they have an amazing menu for brunch and lunch - it was so hard to choose!! We ended up with a B.E.L.T. (Bacon, egg, lettuce and tomato) and the breakfast tacos. The BELT was beyond yummy - served on homemade sourdough bread that was to die for. It was so good I had to order a loaf of the bread before we left! The tacos were good, but I was disappointed in the bacon crumbles they used on the tacos, and my potatoes, while tasty, were drowning in grease. It was good, but not amazing. I will definitely be ordering something with the bread next time. You could put a shoe on that bread and it would still taste good!! The wait was long, but we had amazing live music happening while we waited and that not only made it bearable, it made it enjoyable. Ramoth Gilead has quite the talent and a set of pipes to rival one of my favorite singers, Darius Rucker. To him, I give 5 stars!! I'm a fan now! Overall we had a great experience and had it not been for the bacon and the great potatoes on what I ordered, I would have given 5 stars as well. Can't wait to come back and order something that comes with that amazing bread!

    Only gave 4 stars, because the live music was too loud and annoying. The Cuban was great though. Maybe have live music only at night not at 11am?? Literally my first time here and that alone makes me leery to come back.

    French Dip Sandwich
    Jeremy M.

    Lola's had a bit of it all - cool decor, quick service, friendly employees, and a variety of sandwich options. An added bonus is a bar with cocktails and a nice selection of local east Texas beers. The French dip was great but the house made chips were just alright. They could have been a little thicker and needed some salt for my tastes. Overall it's a good choice!

    Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Brandon B.

    First off, I let the cashier pick my whole meal. I'd like to start with the sandwich. A very simple sandwich. Light refreshing pretty good. The bread was the best part. A lot of it and buttery. I would not get the chicken salad again though. It was under dressed and in need of salt. But good overall. The chips could have sat in the fryer another minute or so. This is a good spot to go to though. No real complaints. I will be back!

    Really nice place equally as nice staff. Food was great and the guy singing did a really good job, wasn't expecting to have live music so that was a bonus.

    Kicked-Up Chips Vol. 1... house made chips covered with blue cheese, balsamic vinegar and chives

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.
