“We had the best experience this weekend at Bonnell’s. Long story short we don’t go out to eat because my son has a lot of food allergies and it’s not easy to accommodate them. However it was his 13th birthday so we really wanted to celebrate. The chef worked with me prior to coming in and made sure my kiddo was able to have a wonderful and safe meal to celebrate a huge milestone. All of the staff were sweet and thoughtful as well. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is warm. I’m happy to forever brag on this restaurant!“

“Recommend reservations Great for business or leisure“

“The food and customer service here is amazing! Thx to Alex and Gio!“

“I've always been a fan of Doc B's, but it seems like they have revamped the recipes on their menu somewhat. I prefer the old way of the Wok Out bowls and the lettuce cups appetizer. I'm not sure why they changed, but neither one of them hit the same. Mostly the Wok Out bowl as far as ingredients flavor, and as far as the appetizer goes, it's more about the generosity and presentation and a little bit on taste. This last visit, the server was fantastic, he couldn't have been any better if he tried. So kudos to him on his amazing service. I just wish the food hadn't changed, since that's what I travel over to that side of town for.“

“Great food....would recommend ..“

“I just tried Johnny Chicken and Waffles for the first time on a brunch date, and I cannot rave enough about this place! We ordered the chicken and waffles, French toast, and the AMAZING mac and cheese—everything was absolutely delicious! The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was phenomenal. Everyone was so personable, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. I genuinely left thinking, “Yep, I’m definitely coming back!” This is officially one of my new favorite brunch spots, and I’ll absolutely be a regular. If you haven’t tried Johnny Chicken and Waffles yet, GO! You won’t be disappointed!“

“We hosted our rehearsal dinner at City Works Eatery and Pour House. Honestly nothing but great things from the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the staff. Colleen was so helpful throughout the planning process and she even came by on event day! They were flexible with us with possible rain on event day, but it all worked out perfect with the heaters on the patio. It was such a great evening thanks to the amazing team they have at City Works Clearfork! They made us feel like it was a small family dinner with hot meals and endless drinks while serving 100 of our guests. The team was professional, personable, and kind. I couldn't recommend more. We had a blast.“

“my husband found this place looking for a last minute place to eat in our anniversary since Texas de Brasil failed us with our reservation. I am so glad they failed and we found this place, best quality food , best taste, best deserts, best environment. we had a beautiful night, not completely crowded, not over charged for a piece of steak that cant be cooked right. this is our place to eat now and we cant wait to come back. also excellent servrice and did i say already best steak I've ever had?delicious.“

“I look forward to this being a regular new spot for us! Beautiful place, food and drinks were fantastic, and service felt so personalized. We went on a weekday evening so it was less busy and the perk of that was that the chef came out and greeted us and checked how we were enjoying the food. Excited to go back and try more options on the menu!“

“35th Anniversary dinner gifted to us from our kids. The food is absolutely top tier. Service was amazing from walking in the door to walking out the door. The hostess did not miss beat. Drink were refilled before we could even finish the glass. I would recommend splitting the 20 oz ribeye steak. I would highly recommend this restaurant in downtown Fort Worth to anyone.“

“I bring my son and granddaughter up there on occasion, and the food is always excellent. Service by Courtney is always top notch, and we enjoy going up to see her!“

“Great home style food and a casual diner atmosphere. Daily specials, reduced price breakfast and lunch specials are available, too (saving money is always good!)
We had the beef tips and noodles from the reduced price lunch menu ($9.95) and oh my goodness, it was so tasty! The portion size was very generous, in fact we both had to request to go contairs! The waitress was so helpful and prompt! They also have cookies, pies, and pastries to tempt you on the way out. We couldn't leave without a slice of coconut pie, a slice of buttermilk pie, and a couple of huge cranberry orange scones. We will be back!“

“This place has it all. great atmosphere,friendly staff,great prices and delicious fresh food! 10 out of 10! I wish I lived closer so I could go more often because I would!“

“The lobster and steak and fried green tomatoes. first time visiting, and my husband and I are coming back. Excellent service. keep up the great customer service. WE LOVE IT! 😋😋“

“Just left and will never go back. Ordered a burger and didn’t realize until I had eaten several bites that a large portion in the middle was totally raw. Not just undercooked a little - totally raw. I chose to not send it back as I had consumed some of it but saved it to show the waitress. When she told the manager, the manager blamed her ( the waitress). I then spoke to the manager and she would not listen and kept insisting it was the waitress who was responsible. She talked right over me, and was downright nasty.She admitted she didn’t bother to look at the burger. No customer service skills whatsoever. I was not asking for anything just explaining it was not the waitress’ fault that the kitchen didn’t cook the burger. The waitress was very concerned and apologized. She did an excellent job of customer service.“

“Hannah is the best server food was great“

“My first time as a guest of my friend, Matt. The Wright chicken sandwich was very good and the fries were delicious. Nice ambience. Our hostess was Drea and she was very nice and accommodating. Five stars. I think I forgot to give my name because my friend was there first.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff,awesome venue for live music and food is delicious“

“I’m not a regular to establishments like this but the experience here and the food was incredible“

“Really enjoyed Philly Dave’s! The cheesesteak all the way with provolone was very good. I did add a little salt and pepper, but I tend to like my food more seasoned, so no big deal.

The wings were the standout perfectly cooked with an absolutely phenomenal buffalo sauce. Not very hot, more of a mild heat, but the flavor was fantastic.

I ordered sweet potato fries and initially got regular fries, but they corrected it immediately, which I really appreciated. It’s a casual order at the counter, grab your own drink kind of place, which I actually love.

Great food and a good experience. I’ll definitely be back and my wife already wants to try the gyro!“

“We were lucky enough to get a table for 3 at 6:30 on a Saturday night. I believe our servers name was Rudy (sorry if that's not right). Anyways he was great explaining the menu, his favorites, and popular dishes. We went with the gargonzola fries and the apricot brie with pita. Loved the fries but wish the cheese was spread out more over the fries. Only half the fries were topped which led to half just being normal waffle fries. Great taste and idea but execution could be a little better. I did not care for the brie but I'm not a fan of that. The rest of the table loved it so I would have to day it was good. Lol. I had the poblano burger for my entree. They cook it well done so I was worried but it was juicy and tasted very good. It was actually better than I expected! It also was served with fries. Washed it all down with the German pilsner which was really good and refreshing as well. Service was top notch and the pace of the meal was perfect. I highly recommend this place and I look forward to going back to try other dishes.“

“Denton location is amazing!! Food, service and atmosphere are phenomenal!! A new family favorite!! When they say the food is fresh, they mean it!! Best place we've eaten in a long time!“

“We hosted our Partner Appreciation Event at Clay Pigeon yesterday and had the most amazing experience. Leslie was a dream to work with and did everything to ensure a smooth event. She checked in periodically throughout the evening and was swift to take care of anything we needed. The waitstaff was incredibly professional, kind, over the top accommodating. Lastly, the food was delicious, as always. Thank you, Clay Pigeon team!“

“I’ve been meeting friends there for several months to share good times, good food, and good games. They have a lovely assortment of both foods and games. Their little pot pies are unique and delicious! Plan to meet up with some of your friends soon. It’s a great place to hang out. It would be a great date night, too!“

“Great drinks and finger food. Even better service from the staff.“

“We reserved a party room for a Bridesmaid's luncheon last Friday. Reata does an A+ job. Working with McKynlea was a delight. We chose a limited menu, including several delicious gluten free choices. She sent me a sample menu ahead of time for my approval. Carae was our waitress and did an exceptional job. We also had a table in the main dining room for half a dozen of the husbands who insisted on coming to have the special tamales, and bison burgers! They too loved the food and had excellent service. I cannot recommend Reata more highly. We live several hours from Ft Worth, and are looking for more opportunities to come again! Thank you Reata staff for adding to our wedding celebration. We are grateful.“

“First time here today! Great staff, food and lanes. We will be back!“

“Adrien was awesome! Service was great! Food was great! Will be back!“

“1st time eating there. Inside nice atmosphere! We had the burgers and excellent tasting meat. Handmade.. fries and onion rings good. Our 2nd time we picked up philly cheese steaks to go… oh my.. disappointed in those.. it was all cheese, onions, peppers and mushrooms… barely any meat.. cause it was so thinly sliced!! Growing up in Philadelphia, PA… I was very disappointed in their cheese steaks!!! They need more meat! We definitely wouldn’t recommend those! Stick with their burgers!!!“

“First time visit! Felt like eating dessert for breakfast! Very good food, plentiful, beautiful, and served by nice, personable wait staff. At the great price, we will be making a point of coming back often to try the multitude of other dishes on the menu. Can't wait!“

“Great service. Fish is on point. Try it spicy!!!“

“They say money can’t buy you happiness I beg to differ. I took my Mom to lunch (paid for it) and she is beyond happy. Luby’s for the Win❤️“

“This place is a WINNER. Can’t remember the last time I had food this good or service this attentive.“

“The chicken and potatoes was delish and the salad was very crisp and tasty. Definitely a 5 star“

“close to dickies arena. easy to get to.“

“Excellent menu , great servers , great atmosphere!“

“Great scratch kitchen! Delicious TX sized chicken fried steak & pork chops with the real deal mashed potatoes. Fresh made onion rings with a tasty sauce with a twist. Quiet, vintage atmosphere where you can actually visit over dinner. Excellent service. Definitely a new favorite in the Stockyards!“
