What kind of food? Do you have a car?Arlington, TX 1 large, 1 medium, 1 Mini Max, and a 22" Blackstone

Reata is a nice steakhouse. Of course you have Ruth Chris, Del Friscos and Texas de Brazil all within walking distance. Bobs is down by the Omni. Lots of others around there as well. If you dont mind driving a short ways you have W 7th with lots of options or even the Stockyards. Coopers bbq is near the Stockyards.___________________________________________________________________________________Ft. Worth, Tx | Union Pacific Railroad | Texas Tech University

We'll try just about any place, and don't mind paying for something that's good. We will have a car. We're in Fort Worth for a few days, and then we're in Dallas for one night, watching the Stars play. Then it's a quick trip to Waco and back to Arkansas. We always hit Uncle Julio's along the way. We go to Pappadeaux occasionally, but it seems a bit greasy as often as not.
-
What's a good breakfast place? The hotels usually have something similar to breakfast foods, but diets aren't observed while we're on vacation, and I could eat breakfast three or four times a day.

Try Joe T Garcia's. Cash only and usually a wait but a great dining experience. Pappadeauxs Cajun Seafood is always great as well.McKinney, TX

pappadeauxs is a chain. No chains on vacation, it's a rule.

Right, but Pappadeaux can get a pass - the only kind of fish I can get in Arkansas is catfish. Well, maybe that's a slight exaggeration.
We did try Chamberlains Fish Market Grill once. It was good and the desserts were very good. I was over full, but considered getting a second dessert to go. -
The rooftop of Reata is a nice place for a drink. Dinner there is usually good. I prefer Ruth Chris steakhouse but Del Friscos is a Ft Worth mainstay
We always take out if town guest to Joe T Garcias for Marquita's and nachos just for the experience, there is better Mexican food to be had
H3 is close to Joe T and a decent steak house in the stockyards
Grace is on Main Street not far from Bass and is excellent but $$$
Nonna Tata on west magnolia is a great little Italian food place BYOB
Lots of BBQ available, it is Ft Worth

Many years ago, my husband worked for the Star-Telegram. When the paper won its first Pulitzer, the managing editor took everyone to Joe T's for dinner. The entire paper came down with food poisoning. Tough meeting deadlines for the next few days. That said, I enjoyed many meals there when I lived in FW.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Joe T's is great on the patio for atmosphere with margaritas and love the chicken fajitas, but my favorite Tex-Mex is El Rancho Grande just a block or two away. BOTH blow Uncle Julio's away.
Del Frisco's for steak downtown and the original Railhead Smokehouse just across from downtown on the south side of 30 on Montgomery Street for BBQ. I used to go to Angelo's BBQ which is just west of downtown, but haven't been there in years.

Angelo's is still open? Used to go there 35/40 years ago. Peanut's on the floor and the biggest iced mugs of beer. Used to love that place. Always to much beer to remember the food.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
@Mickey Still open as far as I know. Haven't been there in probably 3-4 years, although I was at an office across the street from it about a year ago for some work stuff and everything looked the same. Their website is up, so I'm assuming it's still going strong. I remember the cold beer too and the only thing they sold was Budweiser.

Oh, and I'll echo what @Proser and @CowtownEgger said about breakfast at Old South Pancake House on University just south of 30 and Paris Coffee Shop south of downtown by the medical district.

I was wondering this myself as I'm coming in for Salado next month. Can anyone offer input into Old South's chicken fried steak?XL, JR, and more accessories than anyone would ever need near Olympia, WA

@PNWFoodie I have never tried the chicken fried steak at Old South but highly recommend the one at Tillman's RoadhouseArlington, TX 1 large, 1 medium, 1 Mini Max, and a 22" Blackstone

@Proser Thanks for the tip, but I see they are not open for breakfast. I'm getting in to DFW at 5:30 am and will need breakfast rather than lunch. Can't be having lunch in prep for the meet and greet at Salado. Maybe for lunch on Sunday...XL, JR, and more accessories than anyone would ever need near Olympia, WA

Old West Cafe in South Arlington is not far out of our way and has a good cfs for breakfast. Opens at 6Arlington, TX 1 large, 1 medium, 1 Mini Max, and a 22" Blackstone

I was just in Ft Worth for a week at Bell Helicopter's Training Center.
I went to the "Stockyards" to look around--kind of a tourist trap, but it was interesting to see. I ate at the H3 Ranch. It was good, but not great. Stop in some of the high end shops and see $1000 cowboy hats and $5000 boots made out of rhino, elephant, etc.
A lot of the guys at Bell recommended a place call Hard Eight Steakhouse. There were 2-3 locations, but I never made it there.
The water gardens in downtown Ft. Worth were cool too.......make sure to stop for a bathroom break BEFORE you go there or it will be agony.
Highlight of my trip (besides the flying @ Bell) was the US Mint on the northside of Ft Worth near Alliance airport. It's a self guided tour, so I expected to see some pictures, money samples, and a gift shop like three Federal Reserves I've toured. NOPE.....it's a elevated platform over the ENTIRE facility with one of those speaker wands. You see EVERY part of the process and can spend as much time there as you want. I was absolutely fascinating to watch the machines. The exhibits outside on the history of money making were also great. All free, but leave you cell phone, camera, etc in the car.
The last night I was there, I took a drive up to Denton to visit Tom @ CGS......got a wok setup for my large. Then I hit IKEA and loaded up as much stuff for the kids as I could get in my suitcase (not easy with the wok.) The next morning, I also took the obligatory pictures in Dealey Plaza before getting on my SWA flight home.

If you can get to Coopers BBQ, they have beef ribs only on the weekend, either Friday or Saturday , so call them first maybe

Head over to Bobs steakhouse and let my cousin serve you up one of their many scotches. You cant go wrong, great food and a scotch connoisseur guiding you along.Franklin, Tn

@stlcharcoal - I don't care for Hard 8....Pecan Lodge and Coopers are better I think you were okay missing it....... don't get me wrong though...the atmosphere at Hard 8 is great.....but the food is dry every time I have beenLBGE and Primo XL Plano TX All right all right alllll riight

I'm not a fan of Hard eight either, too strong smoke on the meat. also very easy to over buy! A neat experience to take out-of-towners tho.
I am a fan of Railhead, pretty good Que, and Ice cold schooners of Shiner for $2. And when I say ice cold, I mean the beer turns slushy, and the schooner is too cold to hold in your hand for too long! You can get a schooner of beer to drink while you wait in the line, and there is usually a line.
Angelos is also highly regarded, as is Joe T's, altho I havent been to either,.
Enjoy!
