Coyote Sams Bar & Grille

Yesterday was my second time to Coyote Sam's. The first time (several months agao) we sat for 1/2 hour before finally asking for a waiter. Other parties seated later had received drinks and salads. We received our water 5 minutes later and never saw a waiter again. After 45 minutes we left.

Yesterday we went for Brunch. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. They were service with NO hollandaise sauce. I asked for the sauce and received a little over a tablespoon. When I received the bill there was a charge for $.50 for the sauce. The waitress said that is just how it is. I asked to see the manager. Never saw him, but 10 minutes later received a different bill with the sauce removed, but no explanation.

Nice atmosphere, but considering the prices and the service I would recommend almost any other restaurant in Tyler.

While traveling through this the best place to eat. You will like everything about this place. We look forward to stopping in again to try more of the menu. Plenty of selections.

I have been to Coyote Sams twice this month and been very pleased with their service, food and atmosphere. The fireplace was on and the waitress was very friendly. It was Taco Tuesday and they were marvelous. They were made in spirals with turkey, very tasty. Today I had the King Ranch Chicken....absolutely wonderful. The salad was very fresh with all green lettuce and the dressing was thick and not watered down. I'm hooked on this restaurant and I don't eat out very often so this is very impressive.

We were driving back home to Louisiana from a Dallas trip & stumbled upon this gem of a place early Saturday afternoon. We were looking for a place with a patio to eat because it was such a pretty day, my phone search turned up Coyote Sams...intrigued by the name, we exited 1-20 to check it out. So glad we did. Gorgeous place, inside & out! We walked in & immediately were greeted by Cullen, who turned out to be our waiter also. He was so friendly & welcoming. When we saw the patio it was like walking into heaven, but when he told us happy hour was ongoing with $3 mimosas & bloody marys I KNEW it was! It was an amazing lunch from start to finish. We were already planning a trip back before we walked out.
Highly recommend!!!

The food here is really good. Great burgers, wild game, Mexican as well as some of the best BBQ you will eat. If you had a poor experience in the past you will not be disappointed to see how they have improved since opening in 2008/2009.

We came here for our anniversary and we LOVED it. Quiet but amazing food and drinks. I would love to get a chance to be back in Tyler to enjoy another meal. The front desk staff at our hotel enjoyed our leftovers the next morning because we had a really long drive back home.

I had lunch on Saturday with my daughter and teenaged son. I had read the reviews and was prepared to be disappointed What a pleasant surprise. Not only was the food outstanding but the service and atmosphere was top notch! I will be returning and recommending to my friends.

I took my whole family there for dinner and it was great! Something on the menu for everyone and the food was excellent! I would go there again.

Great atmosphere & great food! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good all around quality. Texas Monthly wrote a great article about this restaurant, after eating there themselves several times. I will copy and paste their review from their magazine below. I personally like restaurants that are family owned and not a chain. This is a place you can go and the owners are actually there. If you eat there be sure to take a tour of every room including the nice patio with the firepit and waterfall and the bar which is very interesting with all of the history on the walls. No other place like it in Tyler. I've been going to this restaurant since they opened last Summer and everything on the menu is excellent!



Texas Monthly review from January 2009: This new bar and grill in Tyler is a welcome departure from the national chains popping up on every corner. A wonderful study in contradictions, Coyote Sam’s atmosphere is hunting-lodge-meets-creek-side-cafe, its menu eclectic-barbecue-joint-meets-California-trattoria. On back-to-back visits (we really like this place), we relished a smoky prime rib sandwich, a generous portion of barbecued beef tucked into grilled sourdough bread, and a walnut-crusted salmon in a lemony butter sauce. We did not regret indulging in the Texas Cannonball, a softball-size scoop of cinnamon ice cream rolled in Oreo cookie crumbs. Bar.



Enough said. This should tell you more than enough to know you need to try it!!!
