Daniel Boone’s Grill and Tavern

We (my family) have eaten here for many years. Consistently excellent food and great service have always been a part of Daniel Boones tradition. Just good family dining.
Pray for the Boone family as the owner is facing a health crisis.

Love to go here & do fairly often. It looked really crowded from people standing outside, but when we got inside we were seated immediately. The girls had chicken fry & the guys had pork chops. CF & gravy always perfect. All was good as always. Pork chops were a bit small, but sufficient. Pastor felt the onion rings needed help, but I didn’t taste & don’t know. Something about their tea is addicting. Service was good as always. Beans were a hit. Ice cream was too hard to dip, but we got a little and it was good. Always returning. Have never had anything that was not pleasing here. Thanks Dan & Jan for always being consistent.

Huge portions and good quality food. Plus, all you can eat beans and ice cream. Great value.

Ribeye was perfect — service was excellent and beer was cold. Ask for Angelina to be your server and I doubt you will be disappointed

Be sure to visit the «hidden» bar in the back. Friendly bar staff and local regulars… If there is a football or baseball game on, they will have it. Food prices are very reasonable for a hefty portion of some really good food. My only advice is to ask for your fries «crispy» as they are natural cut and tend to get a little greasy… Drink prices are good too. If you are traveling through Tyler as I was, you will love spending an evening here with some good food, drinks and company.

Nice, clean place. Food is nice, too. Kinda slim pickings on vegetarian-​friendly choices. They have a grilled cheese sandwich, & I just ordered that without bacon. It came with a side, & I chose the vegetable of the day (black-​eyed peas), but the problem is that it had some bacon floating in it. I just fished it out.
The restrooms are nice & well-​maintained. There are 2 stalls.
They also have a «bean bar» included with just about every meal. Choice of beans with chili or beans with pieces of pork. I waded thru the vat of beans to try to get some without pork. They also have crackers on this bean bar. I wish they had just one pot of meatless beans, &/​or black beans.
The «ice cream bar» is also included with just about every meal. Several good flavor options, & it is Blue Bell Ice Cream. I got the mint chocolate chip (which was apparently a popular choice that day!). The freezer was a little bit cold, so it was harder to break thru the ice & get the scoops of ice cream.
I wouldn’t mind going back there in the future, but hopefully once they have more veggie options.

Came here and ate a salad and it was «eh» boyfriend had a burger that was really good though, so I stole his food. Also can’t really go wrong with a free ice cream bar! Buuuuut it was probably the worst service I’ve ever had. Our server was everything but friendly, didn’t know the menu and was so awkward plus was on her phone on the floor. She never stopped back by to refill drinks or anything And also just extremely unprofessional ruined the experience.

This is my first time here, but it was awesome! My brother and his family lives here, so we came for my nephew’s third birthday dinner. Amber went above and beyond her call of duty, and she made sure Dean felt special and sang to him. Frito pie, cole slaw, and ribs were delicious! Ice cream bar gets Blue Bell back in February! Very enjoyable! Loved my sweet tea, the décor, and the ambiance. See ya soon!

I’ve been here a number of times and the food has always been outstanding. For the money you can’t beat it. There’s a Texas Roadhouse right across the highway and I’ll still choose to come here instead. Not nearly as noisy or expensive for a steak that can compete with the best of them.

I ordered the 18 oz bone in ribeye. It was cooked to my request and perfectly seasoned. No need for steak sauce. My only complaint is that it was a little grissly. My two sides were fried okra (good flavor but sat in a puddle of oil at the bottom of the bowl) and a baked potato.
My bf got the ayce catfish it. That was pretty standard, nothing to brag about.
We ordered wings for our starter which didn’t arrive until after our meal was served. The manager was great and removed it from our tab since we were already eating our entrees.
The food was good but they sat us in the bar. It was loud with tv’s blaring the game, not to mention lots of people standing around having beers and screaming over the tv. Not a big deal but you can’t hear to have a conversation. Next time, i’ll be sure to request the dining area.

Fabulous strip steak! We had this delivered to our hotel room and were very pleased. Only reason I gave it 4 stars was the gravy was not homemade and the steak was overlooked. Still very tasty– but not cooked to order. I assume it was due to delivery and continued to cook in the to go box

First of all, the food was just ok. Chicken was ok, burger was greasy. Then when the waiter brought us our change he tried to short is on how much we were supposed to get back. Not coming back!

They served us raw shrimp in an appetizer twice. My wife is pregnant and had we not check you could have become very ill. The waitress informed us after we sent the first one back that they were microwaving the second batch to make sure they were cooked thru. FAIL. No kitchen should be microwaving anything, and the cooks better know how to fry food. then they were still raw. Perfect place for Kitchen nightmares to feature on their show. The waitress was very nice and personable so there is the 2 stars for her alone. chicken fried steak was ok

I keep trying new dishes and they are all amazing! Bartenders are awesome! Love this place!

My family and friends love this place. Food is consistently great, free beans, chili and ice cream. Staff is great, clean tables, kids eat free with parent entrée purchase on Tuesday and Saturday nights. All you can eat catfish, yum! Need I say more. All the food we have tried is tasty! We are repeat customers.

Bad place to eat catfish. It tasted awful and was told it was from Vietnam. Daniel Boone would turn over in his grave. love their burgers and chicken-​fried steaks.

Adequate home style cooking. Blue plate specials are affordable. Tried the Fried Mac’n’ cheese bites. Underwhelming. Pork chop on the Blue Plate tasted like it was not cooked to order, but was okay.

I love Daniel Boones! Think of going to eat at Texas Roadhouse but spending way less! Great service, great food– beans and ice cream free?! Cornbread is great. Bucket of wings is awesome. LOVE the chicken fried steak. Beer? At the bar? Great for watching sports without a bunch of douchey guys or slutty women. Just leave me with a huge plate, beer, and a game to watch.

I love this place!
Fantastic selection, good food, great atmosphere, self-​serve beans that are the yummiest. And self-​serve hard (*not* soft serve) ice cream for dessert.
Plus, the prices are really, really good, especially for the portion sizes.
I always have to have a to-​go box, because I can’t eat it all in one meal.

This place is pretty good to say the least. I loved my food as well did my husband. Great variety and decent service. We started with the mac n cheese bites as an appetizer, which tasted more like jalapeño bites to me, still tasty though. I had the catfish dinner and he had the ribeye… delicious. I was already amazed that they had homemade ranch as a automatic condiment in a squeeze bottle… my ALL TIME FAVORITE lol. Anywho, the service was decent… not the worst and not the best I’ve had… she was nice. They have free beans and a variety of ice cream flavors to choose from while u wait on food if you choose not to enjoy an appetizer. All in all, I think it’s worth a try.
