“During my stay at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel for the Trees & Utility Conference, I had breakfast at the Cast Iron on two consecutive mornings. The buffet selection was impressive, but the standout was the omelet station. The cook did a fantastic job preparing my omelet exactly to my liking each morning, adding a personal touch with his friendly demeanor. The staff, in general, was very attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The quality of the food was excellent, making each morning's meal a delightful start to the day. I highly recommend the Cast Iron for a satisfying breakfast!“

I was going to use our receipt to review but my mom misplaced it and we think it was accidentally thrown away.“

“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. ❤️❤️“

“Amazing service! Fast friendly clean and wonderful service. We came in right as they were closing. Y’all have to understand we had been in line at the Fort Worth stock show for nine hours. They kept the registers open. They took a massive order. They got it all right my kids who are exhausted are now going to bed full and happy and mom and dad are blown away by the amazing service. If you’re ever in Fort Worth check this place out you won’t go wrong.“

“Customer service!! They know how to treat their customers“

“First time there, I’ll Be Back!!!“

“I usually frequent the burleson location, & while that locations food is great, yall have them beat in customer service & atmosphere! I love that yall had Christmas music playing and all the employees I encountered were very nice and seemed like they actually enjoy their job.“

“My Husband and I had a phenomenal date night here! Christy S. Was our server and was by far the most outstanding server ever! It was my husband’s first time here (I’ve been a few times). She was very patient and friendly and made it the most wonderful first time experience ever! We will definitely come back! P.S. the peach tea is the bomb <3“

“We came here for an evening drink and let me till you, this is not a casual lowkey place. It’s a pretty large bar/restaurant. On football days it will get packed and loud. The drinks were good and they have a large selection of spirits. I would come back but if I wanted a lowkey vibe I would go somewhere smaller. The location of this place is very close to the convention center which makes it easy.“

“Chicken is cooked and seasoned perfectly..crazy that we have so many chicken places in wylie and not a single one is any good(even the cowboy chicken that they are in lol)..until now! Ordered for 6 people and everything was perfect..the bread u see the chicken to keep them from getting soggy is a classy touch…we will be back for sure!“

“Some of the best food we have eaten! May seem pricey, but the amount of food you are given, is worth it! Definitely recommend and will be back. It’s only take out, no dining in- only down side!“

“Food good & inexpensive. Staff very friendly.“

“This was another attempt at a Cheddars and a much more positive one. The food was very good for the price point. The service was excellent and we would go there again!

Response to the location response: Careful, compliments should be responded accordingly.“
