Genghis grill is a new Mongolian stir fry restaurant which has recently opened a location here in Tyler at 3709 Troup Highway. This is a buffet style restaurant where you make your own bowl by choosing from a very large selection of vegetables, spices and protein such as chicken, beef or even tofu. Each customer is given a small metal bowl and a challenge to fit as many vegetables into it as physically possible.
The vegetable selection is wide and therefore it is important to carefully browse your options before getting carried away with your selections after only seeing some of the variety of ingredients. If you are more comfortable doing so there are small instructional cards to guide your bowl to a traditional style or feel free to be creative and do what looks best to you.
After piling your vegetables up high move on to choose your seasoning spices and sauteing sauce for your meal to be prepared in. Now you are ready to exchange this heaping mound of personalized stir fry for a number.
Take a seat and await for the traditional Mongolian style cooking method developed originally for use in battle on the warriors shields. After a fiery display of vegetable grilling and a few gong rings your food will be brought to you and you will be able to experience your creation.
One piece of advice some might appreciate would be to go easy on the sauce when preparing your selection, it is much stronger than one might expect. Genghis Grill also has a bar and even a selection of wine as do most restaurants in Tyler’s pseudo-dry community.
Genghis Grill is a new restaurant and the service is enthusiastic as you might expect from a fresh crew and place. It has a enjoyable atmosphere with no overbearing music or stressful crowds.The showmanship of the cooking provides a subtle entertainment for while you wait for your food.
Genghis Grill also provides the self proclaimed healthy options, in fact they are so confident in the benefit of their health options they’re currently hosting a subway style exclusive diet contest between three contestants who will eat nothing but this menu for three months, while following a hospital recommended exercise and nutrition plan to demonstrate exactly how life changing eating healthy and eating at Genghis Grill can be.
The prize will be ten thousand dollars awarded by the public’s choice of their favorite contestant, a somewhat confusing judgment process that doesn’t necessarily directly account for the relative health or improvement of the contest participants. But no matter how this riveting contest ends it is good to know that Genghis Grill is a responsible as well as delicious source for Mongolian stir fry in Tyler.

Rib Masters
803 State Highway 110 N # A
Whitehouse, TX 75791-3033
(903) 839-0530
I ate at Rib Masters today which is a barbecue restaurant in Whitehouse Texas that of course specializes in none other then ribs.
Their ribs are considered to be the best in East Texas by many fatties I know in Tyler.
I am not making fun as this place is getting me pretty fat too so I may soon be one as well.
If you do decide to eat ribs at Rib Masters on a weekly basis like me I recommend getting on a cardio exercise routine.
If you don’t excercise as you eat these juicy sweet delicous ribs you will pay the price as your jeans go up a size or two and your family keeps asking if you have gained some weight.
This wasn’t intended to be a weight loss article but anyway get the ribs when you go here.
They offer sliced and chopped beef sandwiches as well as beef BBQ baked potatoes but there called Rib Masters people so you know you are going to get the good stuff if you order their ribs.
These things are deadly so once a week is about all you should go to this place so you can live past 40.

A donut shop, simply a bakery specializing in sweet fried pastries, infamous in American pop culture.The Donut Palace is Tylers donut shop, with multiple locations and great prices they have served the hungry starting at five every morning with fresh donuts and eclairs. They even have that classic southern favorite “pig’s in a blanket” with cheese or cheese and jalapeno for the brave.
The Donut Palace may not be the best, or be the cleanest, or have the most massive selection of flavors, but one thing is for sure and that is that they’re every where. Donut Palace’s are conveniently existent as a donut source for Tyler residents. The Donut Palace fills the donut shaped void in Tyler left by Baskin Robins long ago in the days of twenty four hour donuts.
But there’s no point lamenting our lost donuts, for Donut Palace has picked up the torch of fried breakfast rings and carried the stomachs of Tylers hungry and given much needed life blood to our courageous police force.
The donut options may be limited but be grateful for the ten or so varieties, some people will never be so lucky to taste Boston creme filled, blueberry cake or even strawberry with sprinkles. The service at Donut Palace is fast and polite, you can be sure that you will be in and out with your donuts and beverage of choice as efficiently as possible.

The soft opening we went to was yesterday at 1:40 for lunch. They were booked up for almost all other times.
I got the Sweet Pig pizza which is like a deep dish gourmet canadian bacon pizza with really good seasoned tomatoes on top.
I loved my pizza as well as what they call their “hand crafted” root beer. I could have gotten a beer instead but I was just not up to it and root beer sounded great.
BJ’s restaurant is known as being a beer brewery but since Tyler is in the dry county of Smith we have to settle with getting the beer imported from Dallas Texas.
Good old Dallas import beer, nothing wrong with that. My wife got the chicken sesame salad or something to that effect and she liked it. She said her salad was light and just the right amount of taste.
The salads are not loaded down with ranch dressing so I think if you are trying to lose weight you will pleased with this.
For desert we had this cookie with icecream that was cooked in a small pan.
The desert was very good as well and overall I would give BJ’s a 5 star rating for the city of Tyler.
You will find the overall experience far and above better than what you see, hear and taste at Applebees, Chili’s, and the Olive Garden.
I hear to open a BJ’s restaurant you need to have like 6 million dollars just hanging out in a bank account not being used. The 6 million doesn’t include the type of capital investment required to buy the land, build the BJ’s and run payroll.
The guy who bought the BJ’s franchise in Tyler is a smart cookie when it comes to running restaurants and he in fact owns several.
The owner also owns the Wing Stops and Smashburgers in town.
I like BJ’s restaurant and will probably eat there a lot. I also happen to like Smashburger and Wing Stop quite a bit. I think this guy is on to something.

I have been holding off on going to this restaurant because I have been sick for several days but as my symptoms have subsided I decided to trek out with my son to give it a shot.
My wife stayed home with Scarlet Fever while me and my son have just gotten over the flu and had a bit more of an appetite considering all we have eaten all week was chicken noodle soup.
I ordered the Lamb Makhani – lamb with tomato gravy, fenugreek leaves with Indian Spice. It was spicy but not too bad although if you are not someone who likes spicy food you should pass on this one. I loved it, the sauce was great, the meat was very good as well as the delicious Mango yogurt drink I got with my meal.
I shared the rice and Naan bread with my son and didn’t give him any of the spicy stuff.
The food tasted very similar to what I remember eating at an Indian friends house several years ago. What I remember was that my friends wife made very good Indian food and this restaurant offers a good replacement to that fond memory.
If you have always wanted to eat Indian food on occasion in your home town in Tyler TX you now have that opportunity.
Namaste Bombay is located close to Chili’s in Tyler on the loop. Feel free to comment with what you have tried and liked at this restaurant to give other Tylerites some good ideas about what to try when they go.
