“This is our favorite place to go in all of DFW! The food is amazing and such great quality! Love the healthy options at such a great price! The service is also always top notch and we are treated so well and feel very valued every time we go!“

“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!“

“Great food and service! The chili dogs are outstanding! Love you guys!“

“Our food and service was great! I want to give a shout out to Jon Tate, the service manager. I lost my receipt and he took the time to find it and email me a copy. Service matters!! I will be back ☺️“

“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.“

“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.“

“The tequila lime chicken was so so good! The atmosphere was nice. Love a good patio. We loved it. Recommend the cheesecake for dessert. We will definitely be back. 🩷“

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

“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!“

“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! 😋😋“

“Love it here! Best service and great food! Will be back soon“

“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!“

“Hannah is the best server food was great“

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

“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!“

“Little Red Wasp is a great dining experience with creative American cuisine, a modern atmosphere, and excellent service. The menu features flavorful dishes from comfort classics to unique favorites. With a welcoming setting and attentive staff, it's a great place for lunch, dinner, celebrations, or enjoying a night out downtown.“

“Gracias a Fabiola muy amable“

“Super divertido! La pizza muy buena!🤩🤩“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Great music, great staff. What more can you ask for?“

“Great staff very nice and sweet“

“this place is fantastic. love the waiters, and food it hot and delicious. great beer selection!! anytime I'm over in Helen are we hit up this spot!!“

“Grace in downtown Fort Worth is one of my absolute favorite places to eat and drink. Everything about the experience is exceptional—from the elevated menu and beautifully prepared dishes to the outstanding cocktails and inviting atmosphere.

The staff truly sets this place apart. The service is attentive, professional, and consistently top-tier, making every visit feel special. The food easily deserves 10 stars if that were possible, but since 5 is the max on Google, that’s what it gets—though it doesn’t come close to capturing how good it really is. If you’re looking for one of the best dining experiences in downtown Fort Worth, Grace is at the top of the list.“

“I’m not gonna lie—I went into Flower Child a little skeptical. 😂 A restaurant focused on healthy food? I just knew I was probably not going to be a fan.

Well… consider me officially proven wrong.

I ordered the Green Coconut Curry and added chicken, and it is SO freaking good. The flavor is incredible. Then, because apparently I was feeling adventurous, I decided to try the Cauliflower Rice Risotto—and listen, I don't know what kind of sorcery is happening here, but that is slapping too. 😂

I genuinely did not expect food this healthy to taste this damn good. Much to my surprise, Flower Child has officially made me a fan. I will absolutely be back to try more of the menu!“

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

“When you walk in it's more like a restaurant than a coffee shop and everyone is super kind and the atmosphere is kind of a nostalgic restaurant type or like an old diner feel and definitely worth the visit I would stay away from the muffins but everything else is pretty good“

“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.“

“Doc B is always super delicious. I've never ordered anything that wasn't super good. The service was amazing as well. We were asked several times as we needed anything and communication updates were regularly with our dinner. It honestly was great“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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❤️“

“Nathan, was an outstanding bar tender. Made great drinks and was attentive. Place was great to watch games at and wings fantastic. Any sport any time. I will be back.“

“My girlfriend and I went yesterday for the first time we walked in there was an employee standing at the host desk she would not acknowledge us we had to ask her if it was open seating she said yes sit where you want. We went and sat out side sat for 15mins no acknowledgement, I went inside and asked the bartender if I needed to order with her she acted like I was bothering her, she said no that a server would be rt out sat for another 20 mins with both the male server with a beard walk around us to help others no acknowledgement the other server a female squeezed behind ne to get to another table still no acknowledgement.So as for me my first experience at a restaurant that was highly recommended was truly a disappointment will not even attempt to go again!!!“

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

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