Grand entrance to both the restaurant and the bar area. Beautiful historic downtown building and we loved our private dining space. Our group had everything from the cheese tray (loved the Brie and Gorgonzola) to entrees including Sea Bass, Salmon, Ribeye and Elk. On the salmon - There is a wide variety on temperature for cooking salmon. Mine came out what I call "Alaska style" which is more on the really pink side / ok but prefer more on medium. All good - could have sent back but enjoyed regardless.Elk was tender and a bit "spicer" then the ribeye.Nice wine list - but would like to see more wines available "by the glass"Solid service / energetic staff. Thanks Megan!

Food is great and best steaks in Tyler. Itâs worth a trip to just eat the peanuts. Bread is great and good butter. Only then I do not like is the loud noise.

Clear Springs Seafood Restaurant is a standout. An authentic restaurant located on Broadway. Clear Springs serves up a variety of western specialties including delicious seafood, steaks and hearty burgers. Don't forget about our World Famous Onion Rings.
Reviewed By Coach5000
If the food at Clear Springs represents good food in Tyler, I truly feel terrible for it's residents and visitors. Tried this establishment based on reviews here and on Yelp, and left seriously disappointed. As a party of one, the meal usually flows quickly and efficiently, but that was not the case here. Although I was seated quickly and approached by the server immediately, my entree took almost 45 minutes to arrive. I had the queso chicken, which the server praised, but it was obviously microwaved and then grilled. The chicken was rubbery and the poor excuse for queso was cheese out of a jar. The rice must have been microwaved as well because it was chewy, hard, and crusty at the same time, oddly enough. I could go further, but the point has been made. A poor experience through and through.

I was visiting a friend on the hospital and he told me to go across the street. This place is really good. Brisket, ribs, sausage, Turkey and chicken. All plates served with beans, Cole slaw and potato salad. The brisket just melted on your mouth, the ribs were outstanding and the sausage cooked to perfection. They have a kids menu and serve breakfast tacos and burritos. Put this place on my "must do again" list in Tyler.While we're sorry to hear about the circumstances with your friend, Joel, we appreciate you coming over and giving our place a try. It sounds like you had a chance to try several items on the menu, so it's great to hear you loved the meats and sides so much. If you ever find yourself back in the area, don't hesitate to come back and visit us. Cheers, Nick P.
