The customer service was great, friendly, and fast. I also really liked the restaurant layout, with both indoor and outdoor seating that makes it a comfortable spot to hang out.

The charcutierie board was so nice in presentation, and I loved the different meats and cheese included. Some of the fruit (the grapes) were not as fresh as it could have been though, but most were good. The wine was amazing. I really like the pinot and chardonnay. The service was okay, it was a bit slow to be honest, but the people were nice regardless! The pizzas were great. My favorite was the fig with arugula- it was so so good- savory and sweet.

The Riesling was also my favorite one out of the ones that I had tried. It was very fruity and refreshing. Super sweet They used were also very pretty. Was nice to eat outside and enjoy the fresh air, the sun, and the view of the winery. The service was good overall, but it did take a while to get some of the dishes, as well as some napkins and plates.

The trip here was not as planned as I would normally do. We had come to Tyler for something else, but kept hearing "you gotta check out the zoo". Being from Dallas, i snobbishly thought "how could it be better than what we have in the metroplex?". I am gonna say this zoo earned my respect! I loved the design and the walk through the zoo. I also loved that you could get such great unobstructed views of the animals in the zoo. We had a great time here and would definitely come back!

Been living here since 2021 and we are just now getting here for the first time. Although, the…read moreGrandbubbies have been coming quite regularly, this is our first. And what better day than on my Grandbubby's 6th birthday!! Of course, being August, it was toasty out, but we trekked the whole park and seen most of the animals. It looks as though some of the exhibits were empty or under some construction. We had ourselves a blast with all the animals and the birds. Maybe next time for them penguins and a few other animals. All in all, for a Tuesday when school has started again, not bad... not many people, which I'm hoping that's the case and not low attendance on a regular. The zebras, giraffes, elephants, rhino, alligator, river otters, tortoises, various macaws, anteater, Bat-Eared Foxes, monkeys, jaguar, lions, and various bird species were all spectacular and amazing! Love it here! All in all, I love that my Grandbubbies love this place so much and provides them a learning experience! Thank you, Caldwell Zoo and Staff! As always, Enjoy & Happy Zooing!

This farm exceeded our expectations!! We drove up and didn't know what to expect and we were…read moreimmediately greeted by Brent and Aimee. Aimee drove us around the entire farm and our 10 year old son LOVED it! She shared so much farm knowledge about chickens, cows, bulls, donkey's, pigs, etc and how they all work together on a true farm. We even saw the blackberry and blueberry bushes, we plan to return soon to pick them. Don't think about visiting...JUST GO!

How much fun! We were staying at Daingerfield State Park, which we've done dozens of time, for the…read moreweekend. We had heard about Greer Farms but had never visited until this trip. It was a total delight. The blackberries and blueberries were at their peak. My wife and sister picked close to 15 pounds. When "checking out" and getting our berries weighed I also purchased some of Greer's homemade jams, organic beer and free-range eggs. The farm also offers cabins where guests can stay and experience the farm's idealic setting.

I pulled into a spot someone else was pulling out of and he came in yelling that wasn't a parking spot. Well someone pulled out of it so I didn't know there was no sign saying no parking.

That was in the 90's anyway you can get just as good as any of his stuff in Fairview Texas the peach ice cream to the produce.

Learned about Greenbergs from John T Edge on TrueSouth. It was an add, but he says he'd been…read moregetting these ever since he's a kid and it's a mainstay on his Thanksgiving table. I figured it had to be at least ok if he's giving that kind of testimonial, so we gave it a try this year. Wow, we LOVED it. Incredibly smoky flavor and smell, but not overwhelming. The smokiness stays with you, but in a good way...I keep smelling it on my fingers for hours no matter how much handwashing you do. It arrives as described in a bag and partially frozen and as they say, you don't need to do anything and just serve room temperature. We decided to gently warm the turkey in the oven with residual heat and it was perfect. But I've also eaten it cold on sandwiches which was equally great. I'm going to use the smokey carcass to make a nice turkey soup. Turkey is well seasoned, smokey goodness and it couldn't be simpler. There's also a surprising amount of meat on a relatively small bird, part of it is they don't sell it with the wings, so it's not counted in the weight. Loved it and the family is already debating if we need to cook a turkey ever again!

The meat moist and tender down to the bones - which we wish we'd saved to cook with. Next time maybe. They help load your car if needed - such a great staff. Shared a 16 pound bird with family - then grind remaining to freeze and make the 'turkey pate' - easy wonderful dip made out of cream cheese - mayo recipe card in your box - make this and you'll never regret it - wonderful anytime of year to enjoy.

Cooper Farms is the best place to stop by after a long drive! It is a fun spot that isn't busy like…read moreother gas's stations. The store feels like walking into a family reunion with all the homemade goods that grandma brings and wine with relatives. Overall, the store felt warm. Cooper Farms had samples of their fruit wine, jams, and salsa out for those who were intrigued by the interesting flavors, like the peach salsa. My friend tried out the white peach wine and said the wine went down smoothly and had a delicious taste that could be dangerous if you are not counting how many glasses you are having. We ended up buying 3 bottles of wine ($22 but buy 2 or more get them for $20 each), a peach ice cream, and a peach milkshake for the road. Cooper Farms had stands of baked goods like pumpkin pie, pecan pie, peach cobbler, and so much more. The store opens up to multiple tables of snacks when you walk in and a jam/ salsa wall on your right. Food Review: Peach Ice Cream (5/5) I would recommend this to anyone who walks through the doors. I was expecting a sorbet peach but was surprised to taste cinnamon and a nutty flavor in my ice cream. The small portion was enough to keep me full for the rest of our roadtrip back to Houston. Peach Milkshake (5/5) The peach milkshake are for the drivers who can't active scoop and eat ice cream. The milkshake was just a blended version of the ice cream. It was a perfect to-go drink if you wanted to try their ice cream but need to focus on the road. Overall, I would love to come back here with family and have them try the ice cream. Next time, I would like to try out their baked goods. 10/10 would recommend!

What a cool little gas station!! I kept seeing ads on the way back home to houston from Dallas and…read moreby the third sign we decided we needed to make a stop and try their peach ice cream. Absolutely delicious ice cream for $4? I couldn't be happier. Also decided to grab some other goodies. They had so many soda options. I bought the peach mango salsa because they had some free samples and goodness was it tasty that I had to bring some home for myself! For $7.99 I think that's pretty reasonable. When picking out the fried pie, staff was really nice and helped me picked a pie and she recommended that I microwave the pie to make it a little warm, but it is ready to eat as is. She says she leaves it in her fridge and eats a piece day by day for up to a week! I like eating something a little sweet everyday so I'm going to take her up on that advice for sure cause I know I can't eat that whole pie in one sitting. Haven't tried the other stuff but I look forward to it. Might stop by here again on my Dallas to houston journeys !
