There were four of us and we all enjoyed our meals. I had the bacon, avocado, turkey, and cheddar sandwich and it was fantastic. The portions are generous. If you order a side, they suggest sharing it with the table. The room can get a bit noisy when it's crowded, but that's to be expected. On weekends, there is live music and the singer was really talented!

Our group consisted of 6 adults, 2 teenagers, and 3 children. While the decor wasn't upscale, the live music added a lively New Orleans vibe. I was a bit disappointed to find out that the Shrimp Po Boy sandwich is only available on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so I chose the Shrimp Roll sandwich with chips instead. The sandwich was delicious, similar to a lobster roll but made with shrimp. The bread was excellent—crispy on the inside and soft on the outside. The house-made chips were good, though they could have used a bit more seasoning. I’m looking forward to trying the French Dip or Shrimp Po Boy on my next visit. Overall, it’s a great place for a casual lunch.

It's a favorite among locals, which means wait times can be longer than at typical chain sandwich shops. If you're in a hurry, I suggest calling ahead, as they tend to get busy during lunch hours. The food is fresh and made right on-site. The Reuben sandwich is exceptional, especially since they prepare their own corned beef in-house. The house-made turkey is also superb and far better than store-bought alternatives. I highly recommend trying the TABC sandwich; it's truly life-changing. If you're looking for a unique, handcrafted meal in Tyler along with a charming diner atmosphere, this is the place to be. They also have live music during brunch on weekends. The facilities are clean, and the staff always makes you feel like part of the family.
