ETX Brewing Company

We ate supper here tonight. It was a beautiful night to sit outside for a quick bite and a beer. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service. I'm a pretty picky eater, and I really enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich. My husband had the cowboy burger with fries. Fries were seasoned and crispy. We'll be back.

Wow, ETX Brewing Company really impressed us! They brew a wide variety of beers in-house, and you can taste the craft in every sip. We stopped by on a hot day for a cold beer and ended up staying longer than planned. The staff was super friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations and even letting us sample a few brews before deciding. We ordered the brined wings and the Three Pigs snack—both were flavorful and hit the spot perfectly with the drinks. The wings had just the right balance of seasoning, and the Three Pigs was a fun, meaty shareable. The beer list is extensive, with something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts and everything in between. The vibe inside is laid-back and lively, with good music and a fun crowd. Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a relaxed place to hang out, ETX is a great pick. It’s definitely a spot we’ll return to when in the area again. Bonus points for the welcoming atmosphere and attention to detail in both drinks and food!

My husband and I ate here for the first time. I had the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich and he had a Cowboy burger. Both of them were very good. Neither came with fries. Those have to be ordered separately. For the price point, they should come with a small side of fries. We ordered a small and shared. Overall, a good experience and we will go back.

Typical pub fare as far as food goes, we had snacks of nachos & cheese curds. Not a lot of tap selections but still a nice mix of varieties. Staff is over-the-top friendly and the atmosphere is enjoyable.

The bbq pulled pork mac and cheese loaded fries were awesome. Beerwas super cold and just right. Was at a mixer today. Owner came out and hung out with us. Great people.

ETX Brewing has potential, but right now it feels like more style than substance. The highlight of the visit was, without question, the staff, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. I also appreciated the ability to choose from two flight sizes, which made sampling a variety of beers easy and approachable. Unfortunately, the beer selection didn’t quite match the vibe. A few brews stood out, particularly the Dunkel and the 1846, but those were the exceptions. The tap list leaned too heavily into niche, boutique-style beers that felt more experimental than refined. The Mexican lager was decent, but that’s hard to get wrong. The stouts were underwhelming, light-bodied and lacking depth, and the Black IPA felt confused, unsure of what it wanted to be. Skull Blossom was the biggest disappointment, though it may have been the end of the keg. The food didn’t redeem the visit. I ordered the chicken nuggets, great sauce, especially the ranch, but the meat was fatty and unappealing. For the price, it missed the mark. ETX has a great location and strong staff, so I’d give it another shot down the line, hopefully when the tap list is a bit more balanced.

My wife and I stopped by last night after the Candlelight Halloween Music at The Liberty. The vibe was great. A bustling business with quick service and great food! We both had burgers and they didn’t disappoint! My wife is gluten free and her bun (it is really hard to find a good one) was very tasty. Both burgers were cooked to perfection! She had a very good cider and I had a nice IPA. Overall 5 out of 5!

Food: Delicious, especially the BBQ loaded fries. I get it every time and always try a new beer. Service: Everyone is always wearing a smile and so helpful, I’ve never seen an employee complain. They always bring my food out to me when I sit outside and allows pets outdoors. Atmosphere: Extremely welcoming of everyone all shapes and sizes. They put the customer first and allow everyone to feel welcome. Sitting outside is my favorite thing to do so that I can watch traffic go by and enjoy fresh with with my meal.

Very diverse downtown type brewery. As a former brewer their beers are exceptional! Food is tasty. Love the club sandwich! Love all the different groups and people they host! Cheers!

We visited on a Tuesday around 1pm. We were immediately greeted by the staff! They helped us pick what to order. The restaurant wasn't crowded & the food was absolutely delicious! Fresh and hot! The restaurant was clean. There was a stage area, as well as an area to play pool. They also have outside seating.

Honestly I am NOT a beer drinker. Or I wasn't until tonight that is. The drinks they brew at ETX is top quality and I can absolutely see myself coming back with more company!! I've already been bragging to some out if state friends about it!

Food was great. Vibe was really cool for a family experience. The wait was kind of long but if you had a beer to drink you would have been fine with it. Come enjoy this place and make them busy beyond belief!

Nice find during a trip to see family in Tyler. The kids both got the hot honey crispy chicken sandwich, and I got the double cheeseburger. They loved the chicken sandwich, and their fries had a great seasoning. My burger was pretty good. The meat was a little tough but the taste was great. And the tater tots were outstanding. The table and chairs felt a little dirty and a couple of our chairs were wobbly, but overall this was an excellent experience. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. The place was big and welcoming with games to play and a cool vibe. We'll be back.

The food is great I had the burger and fries and the wings and they were delicious ! The beer flights are amazing when you want to try the different beers they have for the season . Yes I recommend this place great food , great beer and a great atmosphere!!

Lunch time! He wanted a pub. The table ordered BLT, fried pickles and two salads. I requested romaine ( not a fan of mixed weeds) and the only thing I don't care for is cheddar cheese on a house salad. The other salad was a Caesar and that too had cheddar cheese? With Italian dressing? But I did order a hard lemonade ( homemade) yummy . The food was good and the service was impeccable. But the highlight for this visit was the homemade cinnamon ice cream. "butter my biscuits!" This shiz was fantastic! They are a brewery so IPA's galore. Along with ciders. Burgers and BBQ. Next time.

Shopping in Tyler and wanted something that wasn't a chain. Stopped here. At first confused when we walked in where to look for a menu or a place to sit. They had big parties that took all the tables, but we found one next to the claw machine which was annoying because kids were playing it and it was right at my elbow. Also the kids were playing with the pool table. I found a menu on line but when I turned around the cashier was giving my husband a menu. I ran up there and he had ordered a pulled beef sandwich with fries. Our buzzer went off and my husband went up and got the two trays of food. Appearance wise not very impressive but the French fries were fresh looking and they were nice and hot. The sandwich filling was a bit stingy, but it was delicious. A little too much jalapeños not enough bbq sauce. But that's my preference. Hubby had a couple of beers and each one was nice and cold and pretty delicious. We may come back next time in Tyler.

True East Texas Hospitality, Great Service and people, good beer (great selection) and good food. Easy parking and in and out. Try it you'll love it..

The ambiance is nice with a warehouse brewery feel fries were crispy, however $12 for a chicken club sandwich that looked to be worth about half that was disappointing. Especially when the fries and drink cost extra. The bread was mushy, there was not much chicken, and overall just tasted average. After seeing the high ratings this place receive I was hoping for a more appetizing meal.

Atmosphere and staff were really nice. Didn't have a beer but I assume they are good. We went there for food and the food was mediocre. Boneless wings(small and overly crunchy), onion rings, patty melt, Chicken wrap, chicken salad, mac n cheese and queso was all ordered for our party of 4. Nobody thought it was good.

Great place to hang out for great beer and food. Can't remember the name of the beer we had, but both were good - if you can't decide what beer you want, they give you samples to try. Had the ultimate nachos, and they were so good. Would definitely recommend it.

First of all the good - the place is very cool place to hang and have a beer. The beer selection was terrific and the ones that we had were outstanding. Now the not so good, we both had burger and neither one of us would place this in the top 1/2 of burgers we've had. The meat didnt have a lot of taste and seemed dry (it may not have enough fat content). The bacon on my burger was 100% fat and not crispy at all. May come back but it' would be to have a beer and maybe try and app.

3 stars for food, 4 for atmosphere. Was there with a group on trivia night, lots of fun! This is an order at the counter, get a pager, come back and grab your food kind of place. I had a buffalo chicken wrap that was good, but the seasoned fries were great. It was busy, but food still came out quickly and there was never a long line to order food or beer. Lots of picnic tables outside for nice nights, would come back for trivia or to just hang out with friends.

Went to two breweries in Tyler with our dogs and this was our favorite spot. There's a section that connected to the building, that's covered with shade and fans. Beer selection was good. Burgers were good. Service was great.

Great food and very nice staff!! They had a farmers market going on in their parking lot, great selection. I'm a Bud Light fan, most breweries give me a hard time when I tell them what I like. They gave me two different beers to try, they are both great!! We will be back a lot!

Fun atmosphere Fun events Good local brew The food was better when Nathan R was there but still not bad. Service is on the slow side but friendly most of the time.

It was not busy when we went at about 5 PM on a Thursday. The food was delicious. My husband and I shared the BBQ mac and cheese fries and the patty melt. Plenty left for a to-go box, too! Good music was playing. We weren't there for a live show, but it seems like it would be a great place to listen to live music! My husband enjoyed his beer flight, too! He loved the Mexican beer with tajin and lime.

Took our doggie and sat outside. Great misting fans and shade. Food was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend the chicken sandwich! The staff was friendly and food came out quick!

Great spot for local brews.. Fried pickles were hot, crispy and just the right kick. Skip the chicken club though. Flimsy, soggy and bland. Service was just fine and we like the community tables.

The Porch has good vibes. The food was delicious. The burgers and fries were great portions. The beer was flavorful. Service was super quick. The employees were kind.

Quick stop for dinner and a brew and it ended up being trivia night. This place is huge for a large group to meet up and enjoy a night out.

What a great place! I have a new student attending Tyler Junior College and was looking for a place for lunch while he was finishing up orientation. I went during lunchtime, and although there was several people in front of me, service was quick and efficient. My burger was tasty, but huge, so take a friend to help you out! The fries were delicious, and there was a great mix of the business crowd and younger people and students studying while having lunch. I will definitely be back!

Have been going to this gem for over a year now and have never had a bad experience. Food is great, service is outstanding, and the uniqueness of their burgers keeps you wanting more. Amongst my top favorites are the Cowboy burger and their new Jammer. Just tried the Jammer burger today and WOW! Great food at very reasonable prices.

Passing through town on a Saturday and stopped here for lunch. First time and chose this place because it had the best Yelp reviews of all the restaurants that were open for lunch. Thank you Yelpers for the recommendation. The burgers and sides were delicious, as was the brewery beer. The clientele was local, the service was friendly, and the decor was trendy. If I lived there I would be a regular.

Awesome place to chill and have some local brew and great grub! Live music on Friday and Saturday nights!

Had the Cowboy burger which was very good. I would've even used more jalapeño. Also, had the onion rings which in my opinion were overcooked. But, the stout beer I had was very good. If not for the drive back to Dallas, I would've over-indulged. The Ambiance was tailored to the dog which was segregated to the outdoors.

Very disappointing after such good reviews on Yelp. Location was okay but food was terrible - cold fries, tough chicken, soggy toast. Service was disorganized (we watched our food do a tour of the restaurant and outside bar before they figured out it was ours). Expensive for the quality. Surprised to see so many little kids - I'm sure the pool table was torn up by the time they got through!

So great! The atmosphere is just wonderful, beer is good, food is AMAZING! Great spot for your first stop in Tyler! Running the Rose tomorrow!

Amazing food and amazing service. The patty melt was one of the best burgers I have had in a long time. Worth stopping in and grabbing a burger and maybe a pack of beer to go.

They have a good selection of craft beers and offer samples to help you find the best option. The Beer Brat was great. It paired very well with the Octoberfest brew.. Also the fried okra was great. My wife had sweet potato waffle fries and they were great also. They service was fantastic.

Lunch date, day drinking?? Yes please!! From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were chillin at a friend's house. Good food, good drinks, good people. We had the Rio Burger, Hangover Burger, and #7&11 on tap. Everything was great! We will be back and bringing company!

I had the honey hot chicken sandwich and it was so delicious! The fries were seasoned so well. My mom got the nachos and loved them too. The outdoor seating was so nice and cool even on a hot day. Definitely worth a try.

Everything was really good very friendly staff. Although they don't do table Service they did bring our food To the table. We all had different things and everything was good I will definitely come back whenever I visit my son in Tyler he's away at college.

Three stars is being generous. I sampled 4 beers and just picked one to not be a problem. Beers seemed thin and bland. Food menu is very limited which can be ok if you just want a burger. Service was acceptable but attendant was not very knowledgeable about beer. Inside dining room is small. Outside is fine but seating is shoulder to shoulder when busy. Outside is right on the roadway in the heart of downtown. Good "homemade" ice cream and cookies. I asked for tater tots to be well done but they weren't. Had the patty melt with some changes and was done accurately but more bread to meat.

Loved this place! Amazing service! Great food and awesome beer choices! Burgers amazing and Mac n cheese was awesome. Salads were fresh and good! If I lived in Tyler this would be my spot!

Good food and pleasant staff. Love the option to sit outside when it's good weather too!

Finally got down to The Porch and really enjoyed it. We all got something different as sampled. Enjoyed the Porch Burger with Sweet Potato fries and the kids loved their Mac and Cheese. Would recommend and will gladly return.

Food is wonderful. They atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. Very chill way to spend an evening with friends.

Too much to say here. Live local bands, good food and a HUGE selection of beers made on site. The waitstaff were excellent as well. A good stop if you're in Tyler Texas.

Me and my partner ate here today and loved it! I had the burger and she had the chicken sandwhich, both were great. And their fries are to DIE for! Super awesome and friendly staff, especially the cashier we had today. Will definitely be back when we're down there.

This place is great! The staff is always fun to be around and their food is so good! The fried green beans are amazing. Great burgers and even better beer selection. I will be back again.

The ETX Sampler with Wisconsin cheese curds, fried green beans and fried onion/jalapenos is AMAZING. I'm extremely picky but I could eat nothing but the fried green beans and be happy - they are better than any I've ever had ANYWHERE. I ordered a burger with bacon, which was amazing but a bit "rare" for my liking. I'm not knocking them for that though because my fiance ordered for me and who knows how he told them to cook it. (Disclaimer, I'm a well-done burger person). We also ordered two kid meals - they both got mac & cheese with fries. This isn't Kraft mac & cheese - if it isn't homemade, they disguise it WELL. It's super creamy and a really great sized portion (my three year old couldn't finish hers, my eight year old did but said she was FULL). The coolest part of the kids meal is that, instead of a tray, they serve it on an upside down Frisbee. The girls didn't realize this and were tickled to find out their "surprise". A few general notes -- there is a free parking garage just a few blocks down from the restaurant, as well as some street parking but we had to walk a little ways (nothing to complain about, but just trying to be thorough with my review!). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu, and when I needed to make some dietary substitutions, they had great suggestions. When eating out as a family of four, we typically try to be thrifty - this was definitely a "splurge" meal for us. Two burgers, two kid meals and four drinks cost $60. However, the food was great, the atmosphere is awesome, and we had an awesome night out. We will definitely be eating here again, if not just for the fried green beans!

It took over an hour to get 2 very simple food items. Had the counter person let us know of the massive backup in the kitchen we would have opted out. I had a crispy chicken sandwich. $13. A cold bun, a fairly sized piece of decently fried chicken breast, a drizzle of sauce and 3 thin pickle slices. That's it. No lettuce, no cheese, nada. There were some bland fries tossed on the aluminum tray beside the sandwich. Zero flavor whatsoever. This business seems to be confused as to who they want to appeal to. The place was filled with kids. Filled. There is a lower section, perhaps dedicate that area to families or just change the name to Chuck-E-Cheese's. An important note: The Porch is somewhat separate from the ETX Brewery, whose beer is excellent.

A year ago we were in Tyler for several days and had a great time at ETX Brewing. The one thing we said at the time was "It would be great if they had some type of food." Little did we know that the construction next door was the beginning of a delicious addition to the Brewery. The Porch at ETX was our stop for dinner this year, and it was great to be able to enjoy Mac and Cheese Fries and tasty Sliders with their great selection of ETX Brewing beers. We finished up with the Pecan Bread Pudding which was topped with a generous scoop of local ice cream. The atmosphere is family friendly with games and live music on the calendar. Everyone we spoke with was welcoming and friendly. We will definitely visit again when we return to Tyler.

Good vibes in both atmosphere and staff. Although the food is good, it's a bit pricey if you ask me.

BEWARE!!!! This establishment adds a 18% tip to your total even when you select no tip. This is a self service restaurant yet adds a tip without the customers consent. Luckily my credit card company notified me when the total has changed or I would have never known.

Their burgers are so tasty, cooked to perfection and the buns melt in your mouth! Loved the French fries as well, and their IPA's were good!

Amazing caso! friendly people! the two ladies at the front were so sweet and kind. good food! over all 11/10
