Rib Masters is stinking good dudes

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.

Tuesday Morning Store in Tyler Offers Excellent Christmas Gift Selection

December 2nd, 2010

Tuesday Morning Stores Texas For those like me that may have never heard of Tuesday Morning before it isn’t a big surprise. This store seems to open up when they want to and probably just during those certain shopping days that bring in lots of traffic. So they aren’t like Marshall’s where they are open every day.

I guess Tuesday Morning has a low overhead policy but it must work as I have seen their sign over by Cotton Patch Cafe for several years.

This store always looked closed and abandoned but one Sunday morning we were nearby and I yanked at the door and to my surprise the door opened and there were tons of Christmas gift ideas almost everywhere I looked.

I also found some pretty ridiculous white elephant type gifts to get as well. This store is like a cheaper Marshall’s but with more selection and variety. They aren’t necessarily like Marshall’s in the sense of having lots of clothes but they are like them in their never ending supply of odds and ends.

For instance, last year I was able to purchase from Marshall’s an alarm that would sound if a dog jumped and laid down on a couch or chair in your house. I saw this as both funny and useful for certain people in my family.

Tuesday Morning store has all kinds of weird stuff like this and good stuff too. They have toys, rugs, clothes, sheets, towels, furniture type items, Christmas decorations like big Santa statues and many things you would never buy but they are fun to look at.

I bought a few fun to look at items that will be white elephant gifts this year. So if you are reading this maybe you haven’t come up with any Christmas 2010 gift ideas and maybe your a procrastinator.

Tuesday Morning can come to your rescue and relieve your stress because they have everything for mom, dad, kid, toddler, sister, brother, emo brother, brother in jail, grandmother, granddad, and wife, and husband, I guess cousin too.

Don Juan’s Taqueria in Tyler Texas

January 30th, 2010

El Original

One of my favorite restaurants to go to almost every week in Tyler is Don Juan’s. What you get at Don Juan’s that keeps me coming back is consistency and decent service.

Don Jaun's

The food is always of high quality and I usually get a pretty good waiter or waitress attentive to my food needs. They will almost always bring out some godo quality crunchy chips to your table. These chips aren’t the thin greasy chips you get at most places that people seem to like a lot. Don Juan’s chips are small triangular crunchy goodness. Combined with Don Juan’s extra spicy green and red hot sauce and you get a nice little appetizer prior to your taco’s or quesadilla arriving.

Don Juan's

My favorite item right now at Don Juan’s taqueria are their chicken taco’s on corn tortilla’s. I will usually ask that they include cilantro, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and avacodo. I will usually get the taco’s without avacodo and I will sometimes ask for the waiter to go back and bring me some avacodo but usually I will just eat it however it comes out. Isn’t that what you do at McDonald’s? My order is never right there but I just eat however it comes out because why waist time complaining every visit?

My favorite drink at Don Juan’s is their Cantoulope juice. I would have never thought this flavor of juice would be good but in my mind it doesn’t taste exactly like cantaloupe but more like a refreshing fruit drink without distinct melon flavor. If you doubt my recommendation go ahead and order this drink and see what I mean. This drink is some good stuff! I have recommended the drink to a few of my friends and my wife. All of these people were reluctant at first but went ahead and ordered it. Now all of those friends order nothing else but yes you guessed it, Cantaloupe juice. You can beat this stuff. It is better than Tropicana pure premium orange juice no pulp and for me that is saying a lot.

When at Don Juan’s don’t spend too much time loitering at the entrance. You seat yourself people! See the sign that says “seat yourself”? Ok you have seen it so go ahead and find a table and wait for your server. This is how the machine works at Don Juan’s and we in Tyler like it like this. Why wait for a meaningless hostess to help you find a table when anyone with a brain can locate a clean empty table on their own? We can only hope that other Tyler restaurants learn from this ingenious idea.

Don Juan’s is located at the downtown square on Erwin and they have another location further down on West Erwin in the Mexican area of town near the brookshires dairy processing plant.

There are some obscure Mexican retail shops nearby with manicans wearing skimpy outfits and a house operating as a second hand used junk store. There is also Sam Hill Ace Hardware and lumber close by the West Erwin Don Juan’s location.

Tyler Good Will

January 14th, 2010

Tyler Good Will is located on Loop 323 past Mercado’s on the other side of the street. This is one of their locations. I know they have another store located on Locust Street close to down town Tyler. I am sure we are all pretty familiar with Good Will and the other type of thrift stores around Tyler Texas. I know that there are many people including myself that consider Good Will a blessing.

Good Will charity works mostly by donations, this is how they get their stuff and they in turn sell it to the people for way less than other stores. This Tyler charity should sell these things for less because they are second hand things that people no longer want or need and want to help other people in some way or another. Good Will gives you a receipt that you can write off because you donated your belongings to them.

I truly enjoy going there because you can find some good stuff there. You have to spend time searching for things that you are looking for and that could be time consuming for some people. Most people go there and get frustrated because they spend all this time and find nothing. These people give up on places like Good Will and other stores like it because of lack of patience and the itch for digging for buried treasure.

The trick to this kind of shopping is to go back again and again and actually go through all their items instead of just quickly going threw some racks. They have clothes from all shapes and sizes and from different places. If you look closely you can find some very well known brands like, Hollister, Ambercrombie, Gap, Mossimo and others just to name a few.

I don’t always find name brand stuff but I always end up finding some really nice stuff. They also have shoes there. I can’t even remember how many times I have paid $1 dollar for a nice pair of shoes that were in excellent condition if not new. This winter I needed some new boots so I said a prayer and asked God to help me find a pair I could afford and Good Will was the place where I found them. I paid $ 7 dollars for a pair of black boots and I like them. I would say that it was worth a trip there.

I often also find stuff for my baby girl there. They have a pretty cute selection of children’s clothes and the good part about it is that I can still fit in some of them. They have books, pictures, furniture, house hold items, purses, and belts. I bet you could find almost anything there. And when the money is tight Good Will ends up being a good place to go if you don’t mind to shop at places like that. I know the Good Will charity has gotten a little more expensive here lately for a second hand store but for the most part I think its still worth it.

Mercados Mexican Restaurant Tyler Texas

September 2nd, 2009

Mercado’s/Posada’s, Tyler, TX

8 out of 10 Stars – Rate Posado’s and Mercado’s and Give a Customer Review

If you haven’t had the chance to try out either Mercado’s or Posada’s Mexican Restaurants in Tyler, TX, you should. With good prices, excellent food and menu choices either of these restaurants is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner, weekend or weekday. Although the restaurants are considered Mexican, the menu consists of more of a “Tex-Mex” flavor rather than authentic Mexican. Complimentary tortilla chips and salsa available along w/fresh flour or corn tortillas as long as each diner orders another menu item as a meal, even if it‘s an appetizer. These mexican restaurants also serve barbeque quail and have been for years. Good stuff! On very rare occasions, “fresh” tortillas are questionable but I’ve very rarely experienced this. Because of the popularity of the Tyler restaurants, long waits may be expected at typical dining hours, especially on weekends. Most wait staff is attentive to customers and food delivery is considered average as compared to most dine-in restaurants. On a couple of occasions, waiter/waitress has been some-what neglecting to our needs. But overall, any opportunity to dine at Mercado’s or Posada’s is well worth it.
