New American Restaurants in Fort Worth, TX

“I took myself here for my birthday dinner last year! I still remember how lovely of a time I had — I was away from home and wanted to have a nice dinner but it was very important to me to find a place that wouldn’t make me feel odd for celebrating alone!

First, the food was delicious, of course. It was expensive, of course, but definitely very appropriately priced for the quality of the food and experience! As a college student, I wanted to find a place where if it was expensive, I knew it was not overpriced, and it definitely was not! The steak and other foods I ate were delicious! The wine selection was also great and their sommelier was excellent and well versed on the menu.

Second, the service was lovely and I felt very well taken care of on my birthday. I never was made to feel awkward, out of place, or unimportant. In fact, they made me feel very welcome and treated me with compassion and kindness — even excitement — for my choice to spend my evening there! They were so kind and friendly. I loved the employees I talked to.

And finally, the atmosphere was beautiful and very appropriate. It was not anything overly themed or special, but it felt very nice and refined, and tailored to the quality of the restaurant and food.

Overall, I really loved my visit. I thank them greatly for the compassion and lovely experience for my birthday!“

“Great experience and service and food. Joshua, our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and restaurant, very pleasant and helpful. Not too noisy for a large establishment, at a table for 4 we could talk normally. Sophisticated decor and great atmosphere. Interesting dishes and unbelievable fish and chips! Huge whiskey and bourbon selection, easy parking.“

“soooooo good!! great flavors. the meat doesn't need sauce, but their peach glaze BBQ sauce is fantastic!!“

“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!“

“The food is amazing! Ihaven't even left the table because i had to rave about this place first! Chicken fried steak for breakfast wins for me! Our waitress Nelly was very friendly, informative and just the best! Peach cobbler set my man off, he had seconds! Lunch buffet is 11-2 but no dinner unfortunately. Give this place a try, you'll not be disappointed!“

“Great food and service!! Never disappointed .“

“Great food....would recommend ..“

“Hannah is the best server food was great“

“If deliciousness had a form, it would definitely be this table of delicacies“

“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!“

“The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and Friendly! Our server Monica was fantastic and definitely the reason we had such an amazing experience!!“

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

“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’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!“

“Starting with are server Vinnie outstanding lunch knowledgeable the food was hot and delicious and maybe the best expresso martini I’ve ever had! We will be back and have already told friends and family“

“Made a reservation. Was greeted as soon as we walked in the door. It was a chilly day and the hostess chose a table close to the heater without us having to ask. Very thoughtful. Server was attentive and friendly. Food is always very good. Ambiance at this location is nice, next to the trinity river and near shopping.“

“The food was delicious, to start we ordered the guacamole is our favorite, then we ordered the chimichurri filet , the turkey hamburger and the salmon . My husband loved the hamburger. The staff was really friendly and made our experience even better . Overall we love this place every time we come . Definitely recommend.“

“Very nice atmosphere and food“

“We got "So Lucky" coming across "Rodeo Goat" heard the music outside we knew we were at the right place! the atmosphere is neatly rustic, the servers so attentive & fun & the food was excellent with such hefty portions that we required a to go box. food so scrumptious that later in our room made another great meal. all at a reasonable price. highly recommend“

“Great food and delicious pies“

“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 mission! Great volunteers! Great food! Great atmosphere!“

“My wife and I LOVE Velvet Taco! We were so excited to find out they were opening up a location near where we lived, and have been there a few times since it opened!

On this particular occasion, we forgot to make a small change to our order, and they gave us a whole new taco once we made the adjustment free of charge!

Also, when we were finishing our meal, one of the managers, I think her name is Gabbie, personally introduced herself and gave us a piece of Velvet Cake free of charge!

We love Velvet Taco, but the service from the awesome staff tonight deserved a great review! We are forever fans!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Cold beer, and football. Great atmosphere!“

“We arrived on this Friday night and my hopes were dashed a little when we had to park in a muddy parking lot next to the restaurant. All that disappeared the minute we walked inside. You’re transformed into not just a restaurant but an experience. They had the best blues band playing but not so loud you couldn’t talk. Then the sweetest hostess took us right to our booth. As we walked thru the restaurant we noticed families and patrons of all ages. They were met Emeline who was quite possibly the best server we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. So sweet, personable and guided us thru our entire night of beers, appetizers and main dish. We will always ask to sit in her section when we come back. So the beer selection is large and don’t forget to ask for tastes. They are very friendly with letting you try before purchasing one. I happened to love the Hoofer’s Hef which is a great aromatic Hefeweizen. We started with two apps. The BLTA dip which comes out with crisp and delicious pita triangles and this unbelievable cheesy dip that is out of this world good. We also had the Brussels sprouts and I’m quite the expert on good Brussels. These were by far the best Brussels I’ve had EVER! No kidding they were cooked perfectly and even had cranberries in there that gave it a little extra push to perfection. After seeing all the pizza around us we opted to split the Carnivore of Love. It was awesome! All those meats on top and the crust was so good. Only thing wished for was a little stiffer crusted underneath to hold it up. So we had to eat with a fork. It was cooked though so not complaining. Every Friday and Saturday they have blues bands that play. We loved that it wasn’t too loud like some places where you can’t even talk. This is our new favorite date night spot. So many things on the menu I we want to try and absolutely loved the atmosphere they had on this Friday night! BIG WIN!!🏆“

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

“Fantastic and healthy food!“

“Went to early Friday breakfast. Food is very good. We were only people in restaurant at the time. Although manager, maybe the owners were in restaurant, yet no one stopped by to say hello or check on us. We were just a couple of people who they seemed to care nothing about. Lots of staff just lingering around. Not a good vibe.“

“today is December 6, 2023 at 12:15 PM. I came to this location to eat a Philly cheese sandwich and french fries and drink a Coke. It was $15. The Philly cheese sandwich was very small and the meat was dried out and it had a weird taste to it. I don’t know if it was a seasoning or wet and the french fries were kind of yellowish and they put too much pepper on the fries, it was not worth the $15 that I paid but they were very nice. It’s two Hispanic ladies that work there. They serve breakfast from 6 o’clock in the morning until 10 and then they start lunch and they close early.“

“If you love salads, go here. I loved the Honey hot chicken salad. The Brekkie was very wet for some reason. No real soft drinks though. A couple of coke varites in cans. Its a lot like the old Zoes restaurants with weird sparkling waters instead. My question, if you are going to have just canned soda, why not have Dr Pepper products too? Not everyone likes coke. You're in Texas! Super nice staff. I'd go back for sure.“

“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.“

“Appetizers were awesome!!! Service was really slow w/ many excuses! Didn’t like the fact that if you were in a group, you could not pay individually even w/ a credit card, you had to figure out how to use 4 cards within the group to pay for all items! Not cool!!!“

“We had the best time at lunch! Cody and Kyle and the whole crew were amazing and made the day so special! And the food was to die for! Get the cake, that’s all I’m going to say, get the cake!!!“

“This little hidden gem is amazing! Huge interior with ALL the games, tons of TVs for sports, and clean bar with really great staff. The patio is large and clean with more TVs out there. Very private from the busy area too, will be returning for sure!“

“The Point was great for our student rock band concert. Parents got to enjoy seeing their kids perform at a restaraunt, and it was such a nice setting. The Point has good food and a great view!“

“Very good food, drinks and especially there desserts as well!“

“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!!“

“The food was amazing, the service was fabulous, and the speak easy - awesome!“

“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.“

“Fort Worth Top golf seems to have the rudest people working for them . Our server was not clear on anything and told us last call on food and drinks when I was not last call the place didn’t close for another 2 hours.“

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

“Amazing bartending staff. I’ve been here several times. Sierra and patience are amazing bartenders. They have my drink before I sit down and I never need to ask for another. Plus, they are just awesome peeps. The only problem with them is they said I would not get a free drink for posting this. ;)“

“It is always a special dining experience especially if you have not dined here before. The food is prepared for us to cook at the table and it's up to us to make it just right or over or under cooked ! It's a wonderful friends and family outing with plenty of time to visit. If you have not dined here before, go ahead and make that reservation for a special occasion or just to relax with friends and family.“

“We are just minutes from this place and we love it. Staff are courteous and food is very good. Good value when you go around lunch during the week.“

“We would like to give Mr. Chase a HIGH FIVE for his service.

We had a misstep in arranging the reservation at this place. It was a little hard to catch up with our next scheduled event.
Finally we got a table

Our waiter Mr. Chase was very nice, understandable, and cooperated with our schedule to let us have a nice dinner before our next event.

We would like to give Mr. Chase a HIGH FIVE for his service.“

“Staff was very accommodating of our last-minute private wedding party request. The private room was perfect, the menu option was great, the food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. Our waiter, Samuel, was very helpful, attentive, and gave exceptional service. Thank you!“
