“The Medi Dip alone is worth driving here to enjoy!!\n\nThere are many things to love about the Press Cafe, but the best one is a dip you probably have never encountered before. It’s simply addicting.\n\nYou can sit indoors or outdoors on two levels, but only IF you get here before the crowd. You can eat, drink. look out over the Trinity River and watch the people on the Trinity Trails bike path. \n\nThe rest of the menu is good, bordering on great, and then there is Medi Dip. You can get it as an appetizer, but it’s better than most desserts 😊“

“I love this place, I come often, but please please please bring back the salmon tacos!!! They were my favorite thing to get and I would bring all my friends there just to taste them. I went today to find they changed them to tostadas and was heartbroken! The tostadas left a lot to be desired. Bring the tacos back!!“

“A Memorable Dining Experience at The Little Red Wasp

From the moment I walked through the doors of The Little Red Wasp, I knew I was in for something special. This vibrant, open-concept space strikes the perfect balance between casual comfort and elevated dining—welcoming without ever feeling too laid back.

The food? Simply outstanding. I ordered the salmon, and it was perfectly prepared—flaky, flavorful, and beautifully plated. What impressed me most wasn’t just the execution (which was exceptional), but the thoughtful care the kitchen took in accommodating my food allergies without compromising taste. Every element on the plate felt intentional and balanced, and I savored every bite—no leftovers, just a clean plate and a very satisfied diner.

I also started with a cocktail that, while well-crafted, wasn’t quite what I had expected. My server noticed this and—without hesitation—recommended another option. The watermelon-based cocktail she brought out was an absolute standout: refreshing, vibrant, and unexpectedly memorable. Both drinks were good, but her recommendation truly elevated the experience.

Portions were generous, and the quality of ingredients shone through in every course. From the kitchen to the bar to the attentive, intuitive service, The Little Red Wasp excels at every level.

It’s rare to find a restaurant that feels this dialed-in and genuinely welcoming. I’ll absolutely be returning—this time with my parents, to celebrate their anniversary. It’s exactly the kind of place you want to share with people you love.“

“Came in just for drinks at the bar and was blown away! The atmosphere was perfect—lively but not overwhelming, with music at just the right volume so you can actually enjoy a conversation. Shelby, the bartender, was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and really knows her craft. We had a dirty martini, and it was one of the best We’ve ever had, complete with the perfect ice shavings on top. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Wicked Butcher is the best meal I've ever had. Worth it for the popovers and chocolate souffle alone, but also loved my fillet and curry salmon. Can't wait to go back!“

“I recently had dinner with friends and family and found the food to exceptional and well prepared. Frog legs were delicious, our main course was a delight and the bread pudding was unbelievably good. highly recommend!“

“We were in Ft Worth for my daughter’s bachelorette party Saturday July 13th 2024. We had an email sent to us about large party requirements when we added one xtra person to our reservation we had had for month. The large party requirements were not possible for us we had 12 in our party. We then cancelled our reservation. Decided to stop in to get one of their famous espresso martini. I decided to go to the hostess to ask about our email. She went to get the manager. We told her what happened and that we canceled our reservation also we were so looking forward to this special dinner for my daughter. Emilee the manager listened checked into a few things and explained everything to us. She then told us to be there Saturday at 6:00pm. She wanted to make this right. We arrived at 97 West at 6:00 pm. We were treated with smiles then lead to a private room. The food atmosphere service were out of this world. Emilee and Patricio went out of their way to accommodate and make this night special. Thanks to both for making her night special. Defiantly if your in the area go there. Emilee even gave her a luggage tag with her initials MU. A guy was branding them outside and a congratulations dessert. Definitely went out of their way for us. We will definitely be back if we get to to the stock yards again. ❤️❤️“

“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!“

“Excellent food! Friendly staff. Every time we order from here the food is made fresh to order and has been consistently delicious!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Except when temperatures are high. Went by this morning, about 10:45. Walked in to people waiting everywhere and told 10 - 15 minutes wait. Ok ..but looked around and counted 8 (EIGHT) empty, clean tables. Thought, ok, waiting for buffet to catch up, but no, only 1 person was in line there. They seated some, so we went to sit on bench area, and began to really sweat. When asked if AC wasn't working was told, "It's just the building, cause it's so hot outside". okay, we left. won't pay those prices, to be hot, no matter how good the food is. We'll go back maybe in the fall, winter, when "the building" is more bearable.“

“Overall great experience from the hosts, wait staff, chef, and food beyond fresh. Thank you for the vision and taking care of the community. Everyone EATs ❤️“

“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! 😋😋“

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

“Amazing dinner with the gals!! The food was flavorful and delicious. I had the bacon cheeseburger and by far one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Everyone at the table raved about their food. The staff was pleasant and we got to meet the Chef, he personally came out to check how everything was. Definitely recommend, will be back soon!“

“The food was really great, I had the classic because I was just in the mood for a burger. Also got the fried Oreos , there were so delicious.

The only thing we had a problem with was there was a couple of fruit flies invading our mean. That was the only downside. Other then that the food and the people were 👍🏻“

“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.“

“I’m upset at myself for waiting so long to come here. Of course I’ve heard about it and it was on my list for so long and finally gave it a chance. It wasn’t too busy so that may have played a part in it but still, the food was AMAZING! They have very interesting options for all preferences. I had the brisket Benedicts and were really really good. My friend had the chicken and waffles and the chicken was extra crispy and was great too. Our waiter took his time and was very patient and helpful so that was very much appreciated. I cannot wait to come back and try other dishes in their menu. I totally recommend it and now I understand why they’re always busy.“

“The flood is absolutely delicious and the wait are fantastic! Highly recommend“

“Tonight was my first time eating at Flower Child. My husband has spoken highly about this place, and it did not disappoint! I had the chicken entree with broccoli and mac n cheese. So tasty! Ended the night with some lemon oil cake, very tasty but not very lemony.“

“My favorite place to gather, eat and listen to great music (wink, wink). Some of the best food anywhere. I love performing at The Brand Room and the staff is always friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is classy western and the owners are great friends. 5 stars!“

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