Abuelo's

Real Mexican food is a feast for the senses. From colorful peppers to the sounds of sizzling fajitas all the way to that incredible flavor. Each mouthful is just as much a result of the freshest ingredients as it is a result of the chef's expertise. Abuelo's offers diners the opportunity to experience real Mexican food, combining authentic, made from scratch classic dishes with the rich, subtle flavors of coastal and interior Mexican cuisine. Our executive Chef Luis Sanchez has spent decades perfecting our menu, and we boast a wide selection of wood-grilled fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, Chile rellenos or Abuelo's unique House Specialties (depending on your location). To compliment your meal, our expert bartenders are masters at crafting signature favorites, including a wide variety of margaritas and swirls. Whatever the occasion, we'll stop at nothing to make your time at Abuelo's a memorable dining experience.

The first thing you notice about Abuelo's is how stunning the restaurant looks - on the inside and out. It's like a Mexican vacation resort (and this remains even after they relocated across the street). Generally that's a red flag for the RJG.

Chef Point Bar & Restaurant

Five Star Food in a gas station. Featured on Food Networks Diners Drive-ins and dive, Paula Deen Magazine, CNN, New York Times and many others.

Reviewed By FortWorthGuy - Fort Worth, Texas

Yep, restaurant inside a Conoco gas station....not as bad as it sounds. Remodeled inside and outside so it's inviting and unusual. Hadn't been a a few years, so tried it for dinner with friends. Nice inside but not overdone. My only complaint is the noise level can get high as the floors are concrete and all walls are hard surfaces. Families come in with kids. Don't dislike kids, but they add to the noise. Dinner menu is in the $20-$25 range so moderate. You won't find much without some form of pasta which is a no-no for diabetics. I had an Angus Rib Eye. It wasn't the best, but for $20 I wasn't expecting much either. Lots of fat. Friends seem to like their pasta dishes with blackened chicken. I did notice there was a bunch of sauce in the bowl so the chicken had to dog paddle :-) Portions on those were huge. Overall I'd say average to good, and lots of bulk for the buck. I won't beat a path back there due to the noise, adult eating with kids, and the average-good food. Nothing was outstanding. I'll try it for lunch next time just to gain perspective on whether it would be a better lunch place.

DeVivo Bros. Eatery

Reviewed By baldmongoose - Texas

We have eaten here about 10 times and every meal has been outstanding. The pasta is always good, the sandwiches are great, the desserts are great, and the people there are friendly and efficient. The two favorite meals are the bolognaise and the chicken salad, though as I said everything has been great. Expect to spend about $12 per person, and you cannot find better food for the price.

Back Forty Smokehouse

Reviewed By JubileeJerry - Springfield, Ohio

We ate lunch here while in town. The locals really love this place however it's wasn't our style of TX BBQ. I prefer a more honey based sauce. The back Forty sauce was a little spicy for our taste. The portions were huge. Couldn't eat it all. The slaw was good but the baked beans were a little spicy also. Almost like chili.
Just not my kind of BBQ I guess.

Cafe Medi

Reviewed By canyanyday

We stopped here to give this restaurant a try and it was well worth the stop. It was small, cozy restaurant and the staff were all friendly. We were immediately seated and served warm pita bread in which we requested some hummus to go with it. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. Our family had Souvlaki Chicken entree, Salmon entree, and Mixed Grill entree which had beef and chicken. The portions was large and everyone's entree was flavourful and simply delicious. Definitely recommend getting your next Greek and Mediterranean cuisine from here.

Campfire Grill Texas Kitchen

Reviewed By stevewilhite - North Richland Hills, Texas

My wife and I decided to give it a try for lunch today. When you go in, you order at a counter and then they give you a number and bring your food out to you. I ordered the pricey Meatloaf and my wife ordered the Chicken Fried Steak. I had Mac & Cheese and mashed potatoes and my wife had the green beans and mashed potatoes. My Meatloaf was bland except for the overpowering taste of the barbecue sauce they put on top of it. The Mac & Cheese just average. My wife's Chicken Fried Steak was good. She liked and I took several bites of it myself. Her portion of green beans was very small, but she said they were good. I found this place to be too expensive for the quality of food and location. Cracker Barrel is a better value for this type of food and in my opinion their food is better. Glad to have tried Campfire Grill once, but we will not go back a second time.

We have been eating at Fresco's at least once a week for years, and still think it is the best around! The menu is diverse with the usual options and has several unique items like Caesar Fajita Tacos, brisket tacos, and some of the best steak around. The staff is fantastic - some of the nicest people you will ever meet! Can't wait to go back.

Reviewed By P H - Sunnyvale, California

Very friendly Italian Mom & Pop's place, great food, great prices & friendly staff. Waitress let us know that we could BYOB so husband left after ordering to get a bottle of wine from a nearby store. Had the Taste of Italy - lasagna, chicken parmigiana & fettuccine Alfredo - all very good. The Alfredo sauce was especially flavorful. A side salad & homemade bread rolls come with the dish & we ordered an extra salad w/olives & cheese to make a dinner for 2. Really enjoyed our evening, very cozy place. A perfect ending to our weekend in Fort Worth.

Joe's Coffee Shop

Reviewed By larry h - Fort Worth, Texas

The menu is basic with plates with entree and sides including various comport foods with sides such as okra,greens, peas,etc. The servings are reasonable in size. The food is prepared well ,service is fast and friendly. The pies are a winner for many. They often have sugar free pies as well.Pricing is very reasonable . Good place for a non-fast food lunch at prices competitive with fast food.
