Prepare yourself for an adventure into a foreign land, exotic smells, tastes and people await you in this Asian utopia of flavor. As you enter it is important not to let the dingy walls and ceilings discourage you. For the dinge is but a badge of honor, received through the service of the many customers who left that wonderful place with hearts content and stomachs full of what was probably chicken. No need to worry about difficulty ordering, it won’t be hindered by the language barrier, if anything it’s more like a language ferry, a ferry of charming grammatical mistakes and adorable accents ready to float you across the river of semantics and into the world of sesame chicken and fried rice.
In a hurry? Then feel free to try their world class drive through, but be prepared to wait in line at lunch time, Peking is pretty popular with the hospital lunch crowd. Yes, Tyler should be very proud to have this one of a kind restaurant, adorned with tapestries and golden cats it has a level of sophistication that’s absent from most other Tyler Texas restaurants and should you happen to feel unsafe swallowing such big pieces of food with those little sticks than look no further than the back door, where the thoughtful owners have given you instructions for rescuing your asphyxiating, chop stick impaired friends. So if Asian cuisine is what you want look no further than Peking restaurant. It’s way better than stupid Shoguns.

Chuck E. Cheese is as they say, “Where a kid can be a kid!” From arcades to pizza to seeing Chuck E. Cheese himself you can be sure that every visit is a magical one at Chuck E. Cheese in Tyler. Chuck E. Cheese has easy to reach arcades for toddlers and cool action packed arcades for older kids. Most all of the arcades spit out tickets which you can redeem for prizes. Every child can win a prize no matter how many tickets he or she received. If you want a larger prize than what your tickets can get you, you can pay the difference with cash. Saving getting the prizes till you are about to leave makes leaving this awesome place a little easier. It’s so much fun you’ll find yourself staying till closing.
With the safety kid check at the only entrance to the store, employees can be sure that no child can leave without the adult that brought them. This can put a parents mind at ease. At the kid check at the entrance a matching number is stamped on the adults hand and each child’s hand. This number can only be seen under a black light which is located at the entrance/exit. A child cannot leave without an adult with the matching number.
The menu at Chuck E. Cheese is nothing to brag about. It’s not the best tasting food in Tyler but it’s not bad either. The pizza is made fresh and the salad bar has fresh veggies, I can’t complain about that. If the prices are too high for you check out the Chuck E. Cheese website (chuckecheese.com) for coupons. They always have specials on family packs that usually include tokens. Your child can also receive free tokens when he or she brings in a report card with good grades. There is also a “reward calendar” that you can download from the Chuck E. Cheese website to fill out and bring in for free tokens. The reward calendar is a list of things or chores that your child can do at home such as clean your room. The parent checks off things on the list and when the list has been completed the child can exchange it for tokens. Pretty good deal if you ask me.
But of course the best thing about Chuck E Cheese in Tyler Texas is seeing Chuck E himself. Whether for a birthday party or just having fun it’s always a blast to see this mouse walk out and give you a hug, unless you are terrified of human size mice.
Chuck E Cheese is also a great place to work. It’s fun! It’s not a stressful job. You could be Chuck E Cheese and make kids smile. The manager in Tyler has let Chuck E go visit the Pediatric wing in the hospital some mornings when business was slow. You can work in the kitchen making pizza and cotton candy. The main priorities as an employee at Chuck E Cheese is one: be sure every guest leaves happy and two: have fun. You do have to have energy to keep up and be able to handle loud noises, but other than that Chuck E Cheese’s in Tyler Texas is a great place to work and play.

Some of the best Italian in Tyler can be found at the corner bistro, Little Italy’s. Located at 3320 South Broadway where it has been for many years this restaurant continues to serve authentic Italian in a relaxed casual environment.
Little Italy’s is a great stop for either a family dinner or a business lunch. It’s all about the food here, as opposed to atmosphere. You won’t find violinists playing Italian love songs for moonstruck patrons. What you will find is great food at reasonable prices.
The Lasagna and spaghetti at Little Italty are both unbeatable but their signature dish would have to be the calzone. Packed with cheese and sausage it’s the best calzone in town. But don’t come to Italy’s expecting the Olive Garden or Johnny Carino’s.
This is more of a local joint where regulars have a “usual.” They also offer take out for that quick stop off on your way home from work. If you won’t bad quality recipes we recommend Olive Garden. If you want good food and an extra long hour wait for that food than go to Johnny Carino’s.
So next time you find you have craving for great Italian without calling ahead, try this local spot. Before you know it, you’ll find that you have a “usual.”

If you’re looking for a way to cool off this summer, Andy’s custard is a great option. A visit to Andy’s to Andy’s is a part of the summer experience in Tyler. The outdoor 1950s small town feel only adds to the appeal.
They say you can always find good food by looking for the longest lines. If this is true, then Andy’s is a sure bet. By the end of the week a crowd gathers for an Andy’s concrete, (a blend of frozen custard with assorted toppings). The group mills around on the summer evenings socializing and enjoying their custard. It’s an interesting cross section of people who gather there, everyone from area youth groups to weekend Harley riders. They’re all down at Andy’s.
So next time your group is looking for summer evening out, stop by, have a frozen custard and hang out at Andy’s. You’ll probably see someone you know.
