Tonight we tried out Genghis Grill in Tyler TX and even though I was instructed on exactly what to do by our waitress I still managed to not know what to do.
I picked up a couple of recipe cards and gave them to the cooks. They stared at me and I stared for a minute and then said, I’m stupid so what do I do I need some help.
They pointed me back to the buffet line that has all the raw ingredients like meat and vegetables.
So I got back in line with my recipe cards. As I went on through I felt a little Luby’s cafeteria pressure from the other patrons in line to keep a move on.
I ended up tossing in a few more things in my bowl then what the recipe called for and did my own thing.
It all ended up being cooked well and tasted great! I have no complaints and my son really like the peas in the pod and miniature corn things.
I like this place and will go back although I still like Oliveto a little better as my passion is Italian food and Oliveto does a very good job.
One complaint I do have is I wish the parking could be better. This commercial complex has terrible parking and I am always parking at the back of the place most of the time.
Until recently if someone had asked me about a restaurant in Tyler called Bruno’s, I would have responded rather indifferently, “Yeah; that sounds familiar.” After trying their food recently however I’m now anything but indifferent. With as long as I’ve lived in Tyler Texas, I find that I’m sort of annoyed with myself for never having tried Bruno’s until now.
Even with all the other pizza places in Tyler, I can say with some confidence that Bruno’s is easily the best in town. While Double Dave’s makes a great pie, even they cannot measure up to Bruno’s work. And Cici’s, my least favorite pizza of all time, (this includes Totino’s by the way), hardly seems like the same food. But Bruno’s serves more than just great pizza. They have all sorts of Italian dishes, including salads and sandwiches. But their signature dish may well be their legendary lasagna.
If you go to Bruno’s however, don’t go for the atmosphere. It’s not the sort of place lovers go to meet in the middle of a spaghetti noodle. The space is limited, so a lot of customers opt for take out. Where the food is eaten matters little though; carry their food across state lines and it’s the best Italian in Arkansas. So for authentic Mediterranean cuisine try a visit to Bruno’s. Business hours are from 11:00am to 9:00pm weekdays and Saturdays, and the store is closed on Sudays. Located at 1400 South Vine in Tyler. For pick-up call (903) 595-1676.
