Reviews for FD's Grillhouse in Tyler, TX
I came here with my class for our graduation dinner, this restaurant offers an elegant atmosphere. A sophisticated bar area. A... wide variety of food menu from pasta to steak. Very kind waiters and waitresses. And absolutely divine food! I highly recommendthe rainbow trout with shrimp, utterly delectable in my humble opinion! Thank you for the memories and God bless!

This was my first time here and I must say the place was clean and overall affordable! There is a great variety on the menu for... everyone. The food is good and looks great on the plate but lacks some seasoning. I had the rainbow trout with shrimp. Read more
I ate at FD's Grillhouse on June 5, 2022. I came in right at the end of dinner rush. Google Maps said that they weren't too... busy, but close to 15-18 people were walking in right as I was pulling up. I settled myself in for a wait, because I hadn't madereservations, but luckily, all those people were two big parties and required big tables, so I was able to get seated at astandard booth right away. Austin, my server, was on the ball. The restaurant was full, and he was obviously busy, but I wasnever neglected. Sometimes it's easy to neglect a lone diner in favor of big tables, because the tip won't be as high from thatlone guy. I get that. But a good server will make sure everyone they're responsible for is having a good dinner. And Austin wasa good server. I tipped him accordingly. The restaurant itself was rather full, but the lighting was down and the musicsubdued, so people were able to talk without raising their voices. So, even though the place was full of people, it wasn't rowdyor noisy. I started out with a Banshee pinot noir, which was amazing. I usually don't take special note of the wines I try,beyond making mental notes for my review, but this one was so good I sent myself a text to buy it later for the winecabinet. The deviled egg appetizer was a nice homey touch. I've had 'gourmet' deviled eggs with wasabi or other stuff in them.And I like those just fine, but these were good old fashioned deviled eggs like grandma used to make. The bacon bit on top wasjust crispy enough with just a touch of chew, without being over-done, hard, or brittle. It's hard to mess up a filet, butbelieve it or not, I've gotten some bad cuts in other restaurants. My steak at FD's was tender, well-seasoned, and perfectlycooked throughout. It practically melted in my mouth. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've had some homestyle breads thatwere harder to chew. The matchstick vegetables were zucchini, yellow squash, and carrots and appeared steamed. Soft, Read more
We had heard a lot of good stuff about FD?s and during my first visit the firecracker shrimps confirmed the words, but the later... order was not as good as expected. I ordered mainly the serious and the shrimps were not properly cleaned before coming. :(crawfish tasted good as well as the salmon but the order was delivered in multiple turns which killed the appetite. I canunderstand it could have been due to crowded hours but a good restaurant should be able to manage the quality during rush hoursas well. That?s a key point that we missed during our first visit.

This place was very nice. Very clean and designed well. Our server was great. Very nice and attentive. The was was very good... too. My only complaint is the place was freezing. No reason to have the place that cold. Its not even summer yet. It wasuncomfortable. I guess Ill add that my server didnt seem satisfied with my $10 tip. It was my wife, my son and me. I mean whatelse do you want? Something is better than nothing. Read more
Food was pretty good and service was also impeccable. Everyone was extremely friendly, attentive, and had rapport with several... of the patrons. Only thing I?d say is be mindful of what time you go; especially around shift change. A little disorganizedduring these times and it might be easier to sit at the bar if you?re waiting too long for the hostess or to be seated. Read more
The food here was pretty delicious my favorite was the firecracker shrimp! It had the right amount of sweet and spicy to it. The... drinks were also really good as well. I do wish the menu had a few more items but overall it was a good experience. Therestaurant was clean and the staff was really nice and efficient. Read more
