Daniel Boone's Grill and Tavern

I have been here no less than 5 times in the last year. I have yet to be impressed. They don't understand the concept of what a hot dog is. And their fries of never been anything other than disappointing. Until "restaurant impossible" fixes them I will never be back... I'm done!

We have been eating here for years, but I can't remember leaving a review recently.
The food in general is always good, but yesterday's Pioneer chicken fried steak was the best it has been in a long time.
The steak was "real" meat. The fried breading was perfectly seasoned and fried. The size is perfect. I didn't feel like I had overeaten, but with the beans, potatoes, salad, bread and ice cream-all part of the paid for meal- I was very full.
Considering the present food costs in restaurants, I say this meal a bargain.
Our waitress was friendly, efficient and thorough.
The noise level was perfect. Those with me had no problems visiting. Even the gentleman was is deaf in one ear, could hear. That situation is rare these days.
Thank you, management.

This was my first visit and I was absolutely delighted. We didn't order appetizers but very much enjoyed a start on the brown beans well seasoned with pork and black pepper and the chili beans with the bits of meat and perfect chili heat. Theyre endless along with the many flavors of Blue Bell ice cream so get as many cups as you'd like. You can start with dessert too if you so choose. ;) Also both are served up by staff at a designated area. We ordered the smaller portions entrees off the pioneer plates menu section (to taste and try more) but there was still plenty with a box of leftovers to take home. I ordered the pioneer chicken fried steak with okra and turnip greens. I could be fooled but everything tasted fresh (not frozen) and hand battered. He ordered the hamburger steak with sweet potato waffle fries and cabbage. Hands down the crisp and fresh tasting sweet potatoes were my favorite. So incredibly good! The steak was also fresh tasting, well cooked and not dry. The onions and mushrooms were cooked perfectly, none were burnt or soggy. The cabbage had chopped pork throughout and also had great fresh flavor. One huge plus is that everything was not over salted, as is the usual case with many of these items at other restaurants. You get to enjoy the main ingredients and not just the seasonings. Sweet iced tea was perfection as well. The decor is great with so many vintage and Daniel Boone things to look at. It was packed with a live band playing in the tavern but it was still comfortable and we were seated quickly. I'm trying to come up with all the excuses to come back through Tyler on our travels so we can visit again. So worth the stop!

Delicious food! They also offer free pinto beans/chili beans and Blue Bell ice cream with your meal. Their wait staff are friendly and accommodating. The restaurant also has a tavern with live music. Can't wait to go back!

The food and staff were amazing we ate here twice! The first time I got the chicken fried chicken and the second time I got the patty melt. Both were so good! And the free ice cream is the best part. Staff were very friendly.

We love this place has great service and great food one of the hidden gems of Tyler Texas love the free ice cream and free chili

Excellent service great fish , pork chop ice cream seating I would recommend. Not enough handy cap parking not there fault

Great burgers. Meat was deliciously seasoned. The mushroom swiss burger does not come with lettuce tomato Etc but server gladly added to mine. My side was sweet potato fries which where great except I expected them piping hot, fresh off the fryer and they were warmish, at best. Our server was very attentive, service was prompt considering they had a full lunch crowd. Prices are competitive. I think we've found our go to burger joint.

Great food, great service!
Complimentary beans (the chili is our favorite) AND ice cream!

Not sure what happened to their chicken strips. Last time my son ordered them and they were HUGE and crispy hand battered. I ordered the two piece and they were the sizes of my finger, not crispy and kinda mushy.
Disappointed with the food, but thrilled to get together with my friends there. Plus my friend brought a coconut cream cheese pound cake!

The food is great! Menu is very large but everything we've tried so far has been good. Great place to take children! We love the free ice cream and chili beans! We come back often
