We went here for the first time the other night and it was wonderful. We came in at a very busy time so they said there’d be a 20 minute wait (which we were fine with), they sat us in 5 minutes. The atmosphere was great. Good lighting, cute decorations. The server was very prompt and a good amount of attentive. Our food came out very quickly and the server kept our glasses full. We ordered the carne asada and it was amazing! We will definitely be back.

I can’t get enough of the Bud Lite gravy chicken. Huge fan of the gender inclusive bathrooms.
P.S. Mundo made the boo berry bed pudding so creamy.

The food was good. The country fried chicken was good. The greens were really good. The crawfish queso was very good. It took them a couple times to get one of our burgers correct. The horse at the entrance is really in the way when you have to wait for a table and not enough seating in waiting area. I would move the horse and replace the coffee tables with more seating.

1836 is one of the best dining experiences in Tyler! The food is creative, fresh, and absolutely delicious—from starters to dessert. The cocktails are top-notch, and the atmosphere is both classy and comfortable. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re out for a date night, celebrating a special occasion, or just treating yourself, this place delivers every time. Their attention to detail and quality really sets them apart. We’ve never had a bad meal here and always leave impressed. Highly recommend 1836 for an elevated East Texas dining experience!
Lastly I absolutely love the queso!!!

At 8:00PM on a random October 2025 Saturday evening we found ourselves in Tyler Tx headed back to Houston. The 1836 Kitchen is a casual, slightly upscale restaurant with good food, good value and very good service. There is originality in the traditional TX dishes like CF Steak, Shrimp Tacos or Nachos. In fact the Shredded Pork Nachos were all one needs to eat, offered exceptional flavor at a very fair price. In fact, the next day, a slight craving to repeat the meal lingered, always a good sign. The Shrimp Tacos included three plumply stuffed Tacos with juicy and fresh tasting shrimp plus flavorful and original refried beans. There was a slight hint of a Latin American flair that lifted the dishes beyond the standard Tx-Mex look and taste so familiar across the SW. The service was exceptional, professional, friendly and helpful. A bit of additional focus on details with consideration to plating and presentation would be a great plus, yet the quality, quantity, and flavor was well above average. The restaurant was moderately busy with customers including three large parties and a private group in the upstairs private dining room. For what appeared to be a sound-lively room, the noise level and atmosphere including cloth napkins, on lacquered wood tables, was fine. A long vibrant bar makes-up one side while offset by a half-wall and an open staircase to balcony seating giving the room the effect of an old west saloon complimented by interesting modern lighting. All good and well worth a visit!

Because we are unfamiliar with Tyler, the description of the restaurant was intriguing, plus my husband had been craving Chicken Fried Steak.
We were seated promptly, and greeted by the server with salsa and chips. The salsa was fine, but the chips were stale and cold, cold, cold.
We both ordered CF steak. When it arrived it was piping hot. The collard greens were the best part of the meal. The mashed potatoes had no body, plus they tasted of overly baked cheese. The CF steak had a nice crust, but the steak by itself had an odd herbal taste.
The gravy was nothing but a disappointment. I was expecting a traditional white milk based gravy. We got a thin, pale gravy tasting strongly of chicken buillion. Needless to say I only ate half of my meal.
The service started off great, but once the food arrived we saw the server only 2 times: once to asking the food tasted good (before we we barely had a chance to taste the food) and then again to present the bill. No drink refills were offered.
While I may give them another chance in the future, it definitely will not include chicken fried steak.

Called at 5pm for a reservation for 7pm for 8 people since I have family coming in from out of state. Arrived 15 minutes early just to be told I didn’t call and wasn’t on the list. Asked if they could fit us and was told no even though the place was over half empty. Highly recommended to my family amd was sorely disappointed and will never be back. Horrible hostess that can’t even right down a name. *Added after owner response****You do take reservations as stated by your hostess as they had 2 more reservations not under that name though for 8 and 9 pm. The hostess showed me the list of reservations they had written down. You could have just said you forgot to take my name and write it down but you have chosen to call me a liar and falsley claim yall dont take reservations when you clearly do. 1.)Your hostess said they do for guests over 8 and showed me the other reservations
2.)A quick google search says you do for groups of 8 or more.
3.)Your own Facebook page has a link to reservations.
4.) A car full of people listened to me as I made and confirmed the reservation.
5.) Yall have since flip flopped to you do take reservations just not same day…so which is it?
Too much inconsistencies with this place .
This goes to show that yall just can’t accept yall made a mistake and own up to it…..thats fine I’ll make sure everyone I know doesn’t patronage your establishment(s) anymore.
