Loggins Restaurant

If you know or want to know what the fuss is about. Want to know why the saying «slap yo’ momma» means? You’ll know after one visit. just a foodie’s mouthwatering, necterous nirvana. This should be a Texas shrine. Yes, it’s that good.

The most amazing all you can eat homemade food buffet in the state of Texas, this food is amazing. I live in Dallas but I come here once a month because this food is so amazing. The restaurant is nothing fancy it’s old but the people in the food are great. Chicken fried steak is the best as well as their homemade desserts it’s all great!

I ate here on Thanksgiving while visiting my in laws and it was great. The food was well prepared and tasty, the staff was friendly and the place was clean and well lit. The only problem I had is it was a bit pricey $ 15.95 seemed a bit strap for me but that may have been priced higher for Thanksgiving. I will visit this place again next time I am in town.

My favorite meat and veggie home cooking place! Yes the old décor and fast moving waitresses are part of the charm. Jump in, grab a seat and a plate and leave room for all of the puddings and pies! It is full of regulars so if you have a question or don’t know what to do, I guess it could be intimidating.

Must have been an off day. Food seemed bland only difference between here and luby’s is the price. I was a bit dissapointed from all the reviews on Unilocal it seemed like the place to go

It doesn’t get better than Loggins! Best home cooking I have ever had! A definite must if you’re in the Tyler area!

This place is awesome. We came here for lunch while in Tyler because of the previous Unilocal reviews, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant has been in business since 1949 (originally it was a drive-​in and old pictures are located inside) and the interior looks as if it hasn’t been updated since it was opened. This is your typical family restaurant, the type of place that you think only remains in small, one-​stoplight towns.
We came here at 11:30 am on a Tuesday morning and when we walked in we immediately noticed that the place was already packed. It’s seat-​yourself seating, so we found a little booth and sat down. The service was prompt and friendly. She didn’t give us menus because apparently EVERYONE comes here for the buffet and after tasting it, I could see why. The food was extremely delicious and there was a wide variety of things to choose from. I tried (almost) a little of everything, including mini fried chicken pieces, fried fish, mac and cheese, chicken pot pie, sauteed vegetables, loaded mashed potatoes (they also had unloaded), and collard greens. They also had barbeque chicken, several variety of beans, a salad bar, and several other items I cannot recall. Oh, and I can’t forget the delicious rolls and cornbread. And by the taste of it, everything was homemade and fresh! We didn’t partake in dessert, but on the counter there was a delicious looking array of pies to choose from, including cherry, apple, cheesecake, a cinnamon role, and lemon meringue. And the best part? The lunch buffet was only $ 8!
The ambiance of this place was just a fabulous. I’m pretty sure we were the youngest people in the place, as the place was full of old-​timers who obviously knew every single person in the place, including the staff, and obviously had been going there their whole lives. It was fun to sit and listen to all the interactions.
You pay at the front and when we left around noon, there was a wait for tables and the parking lot was full.
I highly recommend eating here if ever in the area.

Good home cooked food. Place could use some updating. In case you haven’t seen it here some of Johnny Manziel’s family owns the place… if you missed seeing that memo here, don’t worry you will be reminded as soon as you walk in.

Went here on a Sunday during lunch based on the large number of 5 start Unilocal reviews. It is a seat yourself type of place and we got in without any wait. The place is buffet only and it was 10.95 per person, certainly a good price for a large selection/​quantity of food.
I was a bit unsure of what some of the buffet foods were, so some labels would have been nice, and the ceiling above the buffet area is a little concerning. It looks like there have been some significant leaks in the past, and there are towels in the vents.
The highlight of my visit was the dessert. I chose a slice of the lemon meringue pie and was pleased.

You have to try this place! We are visiting from CA found it on Unilocal.Tues buffet $ 6.95.

Worth the trip! Came to Tyler area for Santa Land and knew we had to eat here. The wait staff was awesome, the desserts yummy and the food was always hot and fresh! And you can’t beat $ 7.95 for all you can eat! Loved the Aggie memorabilia — gig em!

Some of the best down home, southern cooking Tyler has to offer! Very friendly Staff. All you can eat buffet!

Are you visiting town and looking for a home-​style place to eat? LOOK NO FURTHER! Set your GPS for LOGGINS RESTAURANT and get some GREAT HOME COOKING… you would think you were at home!
The place may be a little packed, because of the lunch and regulars crowd, but don’t let that make you nervous… in fact, when you see people waiting, know that it MUST be pretty good. My wife and I walked in… (by the way it IS SELF-​SEATING) we just kinda followed the others. we found a GREAT booth NEXT TO THE BUFFET. How COOL is that!!! We then went to the buffet and what did we find??? FRESH cooked food… chicken, chicken fried steak, beans, greens, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, and the list goes on. Know that there are different menu items daily, however I was told that their fried chicken is one of their mainstays. Let me warn you as well that the food is HOT and FRESH! Those cooks kept the buffet fresh and if you get to the buffet and something is gone, not to worry, it will be filled in about 3 – 4 minutes! The desserts were ok, but the the main foods were so good, they could have just made some sugar toast, and I would not have complained.
The décor is older, not bad, but not the newest thing out there, I would say rustic and very appropriate for the «family restaurant» feel.
My waitress was VERY friendly and just seemed as though I knew her for years. She STAYED busy but always had my glass filled with sweet tea! Needless to say, we tipped her well.
Take my word for it, this is the REAL DEAL! Open from 10:30am — 2pm and closed on Saturdays!

First time visit. Very good selection on meats & veggies. Everything was hot & seemed fresh. Enjoyed cornbread & fried chicken. Mashed baked potatoes great! Loved the sweet tea! Desserts could be better, they were alittle dry.

Excellent home cooking, sweet waitresses. Definitely worth the stop.

Good old fashioned home cooking buffet. You won’t be disappointed!
