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

The food may be the selling point, but the service and attitude left a lot to be desired. I never…read moreread restaurant reviews before I've had the opportunity to dine there. I like to have an open mind and for my own opinion on what I've experienced. Unfortunately, my experience here was overshadowed (seems like many other customers have had the same problems) by poor service, loud music, and an owner (just reading his replies on yelp tells a lot about his character) who cames across as rude, dismissive, and very assumptive. Instead of making customers feel welcome, the interaction felt more like we were an inconvenience. Good customer service should be part of the experience, regardless of how well-known the restaurant or owner thinks they are. And apparently, the owner's biggest flex is having appeared on Food Network's Chopped. That accomplishment gets mentioned enough that you would think it was the restaurant's entire identity. From what I understand, he made it to the finale but finished second. Whatever the exact spin, being on Chopped shouldn't be an excuse for treating customers poorly. A restaurant should create an atmosphere where people can actually enjoy their meal and talk without having to compete with the speakers. At the end of the day, bragging rights and television appearances don't replace good service, respect, and hospitality. I came in expecting a good dining experience and left feeling like the attitude was more memorable than the food.

The food came out hot and fresh, and the portions were generous. We tried the fries, wings, and a seafood plate. Everything had good flavor, though nothing really stood out as amazing for us this time. The wings were seasoned well, and the shrimp was tasty, but overall the meal landed more in the "good" category than "great." The vibe inside is laid-back, with plenty of seating, a colorful wall mural, and daiquiri machines lined up across the counter. It seems like a fun place to hang out with friends or catch a casual meal. All in all, I can see why people like it -- especially if you're in the mood for wings and daiquiris -- but for us, it was more of a solid spot than a standout.

She was even asked by the staff how she wanted it cooked - they followed it and it was cooked to perfection. It too, came with fried okra. We both had endless sweet tea. Adult beverages and a very nice bar are available for those who partake. Karaoke weekdays and local live Texas Music artists on the weekends for $5 cover charge. The restaurant is part of Pistol Annie's shop - Miranda Lambert's winery and shop. The shop closed at 6pm though so stop here and have lunch or dinner at the adjoining restaurant.

Dakotas, to me, has always been understood as the classic bougie restaurant of Tyler. I've driven…read morepast it off Old Bullard Road many times, but I have never eaten there. Being a kid in Tyler, your parents don't ever casually suggest Dakotas as a place to stop and eat. It's their private date night spot if they feel fancy. It's for them and them alone. They moved out of Tyler a few years ago, and now I am in control of my choices and my destiny. They had a $200 gift card to Dakotas that they never got around to using before they moved out. Foolish of them. I swiped that sucker and booked a reservation in the same breath. While visiting Tyler for an extended weekend, I got a table for two on Saturday at 6:30 with my girlfriend. Upon entry, they have free valet, but I'm too normal of a person to do that. We were seated pretty quickly after getting there, right around our reservation, at a table that put our backs toward the wall and blocked us from other tables, giving us a little more privacy than a typical restaurant. We both got our first drinks of the night ordered with an appetizer of their fried calamari. I got an Elder Fashioned, an elderflower and gin-based drink styled like an old fashioned. I love an elderflower-based drink, but sometimes they can be a little too over the top and bright purple or pink. I liked how subtle and classic this one felt. My girlfriend got a Choc-nilla Old Fashioned with chocolate and vanilla bitters. It was sweeter than her normal old fashioned, obviously, but she thought it was incredibly tasty. As we waited for our appetizer, we enjoyed some of their bread, which was a tall and beautiful loaf with garlic butter on top. It was very delightful. The amount of fried calamari they served us was insane. Way more than either of us needed. It could easily serve four to six people versus the two of us. The marinara sauce on the side was great, but it paled in comparison to their red pepper aioli cream sauce that I swear you could drink. Typically, fried calamari can look like weird onion rings, while the ones here were more straight. We both had a Caesar salad that was maybe a little well dressed, but with some cracked pepper on top, it was very good and worth it between the calamari and our entrees. For our entrees, we both had their soft shell crabs. Their crabs were fantastic and something I have never had before. I thought they served us a little more angel hair pasta alongside the crab than I needed, but I won't complain about extra food. I was super impressed by the flavors and the crispiness of the crabs. To wrap up our night at Dakotas, I ordered a Paloma that was sharp and classic, while my girlfriend ordered a Black Widow, a tequila and hibiscus drink with some muddled jalapeños that was quite a heater. Not a drink for the faint of heart. A lot of the food and options at Dakotas have a little bit of spice to them, so be warned! As we were leaving, we noticed a musician playing on the patio. I thought how nice the patio at Dakotas would be for a few cocktails after dinner elsewhere. That almost seems idiotic, though, because Dakotas is excellent. If you have an opportunity to give Dakotas a chance as a Tyler resident, I recommend it. Between the two of us, with our entrees, our salads, our appetizer, our four drinks in total, and our tip, we were below $200, which, to me, feels like a very fair price for what you get.
