restaurants

There are many restaurants in and around East Texas -- and Texas as a whole.

If there is one thing people love in this great state, it's food. There's something for everyone from Tex-Mex and BBQ, to Italian, country cooking, Mediterranean and everything else in between.

If something is out of this world good, you're sure to hear about it from a Texan -- be it in person or through a local Facebook group. If something is bad, well you might hear about it even more.

There's no shortage of new and local restaurants popping up for Texans to enjoy. And unfortunately, sometimes long-standing or fan-favorite restaurants close down.

Whatever you're looking for -- recommendations, closings, openings and more -- East Texas foodies are sure to get some good information about restaurants here.
