BJ’s restaurant coming soon!

January 31st, 2011

BJ's Restaurant in Tyler TX
I have gone to Houston quite a few times over the last couple years. Every time we have gone to Houston we eat at the BJ’s restaurant. I am excited to see that BJ’s is being built in Tyler. Tyler really does not need another restaurant, since there are basically only restaurants in Tyler, but I am very excited about BJ’s being built. The BJ’s restaurants in Houston are both restaurant and a brewery. Because of the fact that Tyler is a “dry county” this restaurant will not have a brewery and will just is a restaurant. I guess this fact will be a let down for some people, but the great variety and quality of food more than makes up for that fact. As you browse the large menu your mouth can not help but water from the great selection of food. The restaurant serves some of the best foods made with the perfect twist, no matter what your favorite food is (pasta, salad, sandwiches, steak, pizza, burgers, or giant stuffed potatoes) you will most likely find a dish at BJ’s restaurant that you will love. Just because they will not have the brewery does not mean that the restaurant will not be serving any alcohol. BJ’s restaurant will have their full wine, beer, cocktail, and specialty drinks.

The BJ’s restaurants also have ordering online! If you are like me, the only reason you really do not like to order take out, is because you have to sit in the restaurant for so long waiting for your food to be ready. By the time you food is done, you may as well ordered and ate at the restaurant; you would of got home around the same time. With the ordering online, you just go to the website and click on a location, browse the whole menu and put in your order. By the time you leave your home and get to the restaurant your food will be ready to take home. This is such a great and easy idea.

I can not wait for this restaurant to open. The construction is going up fast. I know that it will be a huge hit in Tyler, but even Tyler crowds will not keep from enjoying the great food at BJ’s.

Fat Dogs is a fairly large liquor store on the Hendersen county border – a ‘wet patch’ sandwiched between two non-alcohol selling counties. From Tyler you will find it on the right just after the bridge crossing Lake Palestine, in a place called Coffee City. Fat Dogs is probably one of the closest stores to Tyler selling a range of alcoholic beverages. And as it is well lit and clean, it is distinctively less seedy than most!

Fat Dogs sells a large range of wine, beer and liquor – both domestic products and imports. They have cheap wine in boxes to high end international wines and champagnes. The beer selection varies but always includes Henieken, Harp, Guinness, Bass and Sparten plus the more familiar beers like Miller and Shiner. You can buy them individually, in 6 packs or in boxes and crates.

We’re not big spirit drinkers but it looks like they sell a good variety of liquor too. Certainly there is lots of Tequila, vodkas, rums and whiskeys plus Baileys, Ameretto, sherry and mixers.
Lookout for the specials and reductions at Fat Dogs and if you are regular customer, it is definitely worth getting a ‘dog tag’ which will give you discount on frequent purchases.

Fat Dogs has the appearance of a small supermarket so you don’t need to feel uneasy shopping here. I’m sure there are some shady characters who make their purchases at Fat Dogs but the majority of the customers seem to be just normal social drinkers! The staff are friendly and for the most part, knowledegable and they will try and fulfill any special orders and requests. They will bring your shopping cart out to you car and load it for you too.

Finally, if you are on the way to a party, Fat Dogs does have beverages already chilled just waiting for you to pick up. Don’t let your companions drink it on the way though – it’s illegal to have an open bottle of alcohol in your vehicle.

One final tip from an ignorant European who thought she was being hospitable– don’t offer your Baptist neighbours a glass of something from Fat Dogs!
