Panera Bread Now in Tyler and Now Open!

October 27th, 2011

Join the restaurant coupon list for the Tyler area

Panera BreadPanera Bread is a very good sandwich shop with a few bakery items that are pretty tasty too. My wife and most girls love this place because the bread is so good. She almost lost it once she saw them building the place in Tyler next to Chuy’s.

They make their bread fresh there at the restaurant and it has kind of a sour dough bread chewy texture. They have different types of bread so it doesn’t all taste the same so you might have to order there a few times before you get a good idea of the place.

My wife really likes their chicken salad and I can’t even remember what it was I ordered but I liked it okay.

I am not a huge bread nut but the place is good and worth a visit.

Jersey Mike’s in Tyler TX

March 24th, 2011

Jersey Mikes came to Tyler a few years back bringing high quality New Jersey style sandwiches with them. It did not take long for Tyler to welcome these uncharacteristically decent quality subs into the mouths of it’s small town. After years of picking through soggy string lettuce and Lunchable grade deli meats a consumer can all together forget the joy of basic well made ingredients and fresh vegetables.

At Jersey Mikes you can watch as fine selections of meat and cheese are sliced to your preference in a sanitary and efficient manner. When Jersey Mikes started in 1956 it was known for it’s friendly and genuine customer service making a point of mentioning the persistence of this attitude in the employment of their staff. Although the experience of my service at Jersey Mikes was in every way adequate and nonabrasive I did not notice any exceptional level of customer service.

However, customer service and serving the customer can be very different, Jersey Mikes has made a tremendous effort to benefit the local people to whom they offer fresh food through the marvelous community outreach projects that have been a part of the company ever since the present CEO Peter Cancro claimed ownership in 1972 as an ambitious seventeen year old high school student.

Motivation to support the local communities of jersey Mikes has only grown to take such considerate measures from giving to all of the extra-curricular programs of the recently effected school districts in his city, to teaming up with Wipe Out Kids Cancer to support pediatric cancer research. Jersey Mikes subs are well prepared and come from a supply of what I would call mid grade ingredients but better than subway.

From the way Jersey Mikes describes thier own sandwiches you would think they had discovered the essence of pure flavor through the paragon design of the sub sandwich. I’m not sure if I would go so far as to say such things as “it’s the best sub sandwich in the industry” quite a pretentious attitude for any restaraunt but it exemplifies a shallower and extremely common approach to self promotion held by businesses today who demand a flawless reputation before they have even made a good one.

Jersey Mikes may have a good reputation as humanitarians but sandwich wise they are in no place to honk their own sub horn, objective tasting judgement will easily designate these sandwiches as merely good tasting and well proportioned as opposed to the all powerful sandwich adonis tauted by Jersey Mikes marketing staff.

We went to the soft opening at BJ’s Restaurant for lunch yesterday

February 24th, 2011

BJ's Restaurant in Tyler
BJ's restaurant Tyler TXThe 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.

Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches

February 9th, 2011

Jimmy Johns Tyler TexasJimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches has opened a restaurant off of Troop in Tyler. I have seen this restaurant for a while but I have finally had the opportunity to eat there. The set up of the restaurant is very unique with the sarcastic signs, modern style, and open kitchen. I would always laugh when I drove by and saw the neon sign that read “Free Smells”, but when you walked in the store you knew right away what they are talking about. The great smells of freshly cook bread is the first thing that greets you as you walk into the restaurant. The kitchen is open and the sandwiches that you order are prepared right in front of you so that you are ensured that your sandwiches are made fresh. The menu is all the great inventions of Jimmy John himself, with the exception of a few friends and family. All of the sandwiches have different selections of fresh bread, meats, cheeses, sauces, and vegetables.

Jimmy John’s slogan “no shirts, no shoes, no problem; we deliver.” is a great way to express the convenience of their delivery services. They can cater to any size party, including sandwich trays or large subs, chips, drinks, cookies, and even pickle spears. The food is made fresh and delivered to your door or business. You can make orders online or by calling into the store.

Jimmy John’s restaurant has a great menu of tasty and fresh sandwiches. The great atmosphere and polite service makes the restaurant a great place to catch up with friends, go on a lunch date, or have a lunch business meeting. Jimmy John’s restaurant is a new kind of deli here in East Texas, and with the open kitchen you can see and taste the freshness of their sandwiches.
