Fort Worth Food

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

Family owned and operated, the cooking tastes as if it came from Grandmother's kitchen. Very, very good! I like all of the traditional side dishes: noodles, beets, spaetzle, potato pancakes. The main dishes are fine, but certainly not low cal. We order something new each visit and are working our way down the menu. A wide variety of beers and wine. The coffee is great, very strong!

They open at 5:30pm, but are only open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. Quiet atmosphere for dinner. 20 to 25 minutes from downtown Fort Worth. Telephone for directions. This is a restaurant that is well worth the effort to drive to. Far enough south east in Fort Worth that it's about 15 minutes from south Arlington.

Plate dinners are from %9.95 to $13.95.

Plenty of beer iced in a huge open cooler. Wine and soft drinks also. Prices reasonable. The usual order is either a sandwich of beef (sliced or chopped) sausage, turkey or ham, 2 vegetables (potato salad is considered a vegetable) and often desserts which are extra.

Frosty mugs are supplied for beer and soft drinks. I like extremely cold Dr. Pepper and a sliced beef sandwich. The 'fixings'--pickles, sliced onions, sauce, peppers etc are 'do it yourself'.

Closed Sundays. Open daily 11 am to 9 pm. The people who work there are very nice. Pet peeve--no drive through!

A hot weather favorate--no need to heat up your own kitchen.

In the Cultural District it offers a very good meal at a very nice price. The subs are MUCH better than Subway. All the ingrediants are first class. The usual run of meats and cheese, but low fat items are available. The ice cream, malts and shakes are 'old fashioned' and extremely good. The extensive sandwich menu is impressive, the lemonade is made fresh for you and the refills are free on large ice teas. Keep your cup and bring it back in for a 50 cent refill.

We enjoy getting a window table in order to watch the construction of the new Modern Art Museum which is rising slowly out of the ground. Closes at 9 pm.

We wish it stayed open later as it would be a good place to stop after a show. A few breakfast items are on the menu, but I really don't care for any of them. Parking can be 'tight' but it's worth hunting a place during busy times.

Do not park in the wrong place during the 2 week plus duration of the Fort Worth Stock Show or you could get towed at great expense.

Walking distance to the location of the Fat Stock Show. Ten minutes to the Zoo and downtown (2 different areas of town). My favorite sandwich is #4 (a roast beef) on wheat with tomatoes and thousand island dressing. I skip about 12 other topping choices.

No drive through, but you can telephone an order & run in and pay & run out. Large sandwiches for parties are on the menu also.

Did I say 'no drive through'? Pet peeve!

15 minutes from the Cultural (museum) district. Plenty of parking at all times. Only 300 feet from Milwaukee Joe's Ice Cream shop. They take credit cards and speak several languages.

No smoking. 10 minutes from downtown. A real local favorite hangout. Five minutes from the Cultural (museum) district. Plenty of parking. If the lot in front is full, there is plenty more parking in the rear. Did I mention the cakes?

I have to tell you that at these prices, I really want table service.

Speciality breads and rolls to take home. They donate unused products to the local Food Bank at the end of the day.

The price I indicated above is for a complete lunch with a specialty coffee drink.

Interesting feature: some of the tables have modem connections for your laptop computer. Parking can be limited during rush times; but you can park around the back of the building.

The walls are a restful coral color and the furniture is comfortable. A great evening, a great meal. The only hitch is too-loud live music that spoils chat. Now called a 'supper club' there is a small dance floor. But we are here for the food, a supurb wine list & great service. (but the waiter does not wish to become your best friend, thank heaven! )

Two in our party had Long Island Duck, 2 had fish & two of us the best beef in a very long time. Desserts--of course, supurb, some flaming dishes. All expensive by Fort Worth standards, but really a wonderful treat. Late night menu on Friday and Saturday. No lunch service at this time.

This appeared to be an adult date place. Lots of tables for 2.

Smoking allowed in the bar, HOWEVER, you have to walk through the bar to get into the restaurant. Smoke from the bar drifts over nearby tables. If this is a problem for you, make your desires very plain when you make your reservation. Cigar smoking is allowed in an area called 'the balcony'.

This is a second floor restaurant in a Spanish-style shopping center. Plenty of parking in the evenings. The elvator is some what out of sight behind the main staircase. Hence the name, the Balcony!

Spend a few minutes in the fine foods area which includes items that can be heated up at home, before heading into the wines. The special wine room, behind the glass panels is great, but after a reality (and wallet check) 'tis better to stay in the general wine area. The selections are numerous and the staff will help you find something that agrees with your budget and desire. Beer and hard spirits also for sale. There are also wine accessories and serving essentials.

Just before you check out you will see the beautiful gift baskets. You can pick one up that's ready made or order one to your liking. Very easy holiday shopping! Ronnie's is proof that Fort Worth isn't a wee little town anymore.

Closed Sundays. About 20 minutes from downtown. Ten minutes from Texas Christian University.(817) 927-0101.
