Top 15 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Fort Worth, TX

Nick DeMarco Been meaning to try this place out for a while now and we are glad that we did. The place has just about something for everyone, even if you are not a fan of seafood. They grill a lot of their food with wood which really enhances the taste of the food! For instance, the grilled edamame was really great! Same with the steak frites! Definitely worth checking thus spot out!

Ms. Jakki Ohhh my, this was our 2nd experience, and all was GREAT! Benjamin, Benjamin our Server shared soo much knowledge of the menu, not to mention he’s very knowledgeable of the plethora of Tequilas, Mezcal. His energy is very warm and welcoming. Thanks sooo Much Benjamin! We enjoyed the Filet Mignon, the Ceviche and fried Cactus… again overall amazing and enjoyable!

Christopher Saint Germain When I read Jackdaw Irish Pub on the website I expected it to be a small dark building that mostly served Guinness beer and had soccer over the bar. I was surprised to pull up to a hotel and find out that the restaurant was inside. This is a great little theme restaurant inside the hotel and a welcome addition to Justin. The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for friendly conversation. I originally wanted the Corned Beef as I generally try that at every Pub I dine at. But when I saw they had Scotch Eggs I had to get them instead! You dont see them very often and the ones at Jackdaw were delicious! Ill guess Ill just have to go back later and try the Corned Beef. Itll be worth a second trip!

P C A must stop while in FW Stockyards Mule Alley. The food is outstanding as is the service and ambience. The Birria tacos are excellent. The carne asada skewers may be the best thing on the menu. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating but there could be a wait. There is also bar seating. The drink menu is top shelf.

Laura Pitka Great spot tucked just off the stockyards but with a great view. Nice ambiance and service. The food was great and perfect for sharing. We ordered quite a few dishes - flatbread was perfect, the crispy potatoes are addicting and so well seasoned. Croquettes and salad werent bad. Loved the outdoor seating!

Elizabeth A. Howard The staff here were so amazing! My husband has a tomato allergy and they were so helpful making sure the food we received was safe for him. They changed out the dips on the dip trio to accommodate him. The food was great. We were very impressed and will be back. Order at the counter and bar for your food and drinks. Oh and 3$ margaritas on Tuesdays!

J. Nicole Barrett I have loved The Cheesecake Factory for many years strictly for their delicious Cheesecakes! I am known to go there, grab some slices, and leave with several flavors to try! Yum! I rarely dine there. Today however, my son wanted to celebrate his Birthday with a family lunch there! Our food was delicious. Every single item! The Carbonara never disappoints, and my Spicy Rigatoni Vodka Sauce pasta was fantastic. The extensive children’s menu is also such a great touch! Our kind waiter went out of his way to ensure my son had a beautiful Birthday celebration! Very good experience all around and I love the decor / ambiance.

veronica jimenez Amazing experience at Polanco! Our server Rafa and the manager Eric were absolutely the best — super attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome from start to finish. They gave us excellent recommendations and every dish we tried was delicious. The service alone made the experience outstanding. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

Scarlett Flores My best friend and I went to this restaurant, and everything was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were fun and buzzy—they left me tipsy and happy in the best way! We had originally ordered a dessert, but since it contained almonds (which I’m allergic to), the staff kindly let us switch it out with no problem. The service was impressively quick, even though the restaurant was very busy, and the view during sunset was breathtaking. I can’t wait to come back with my husband next time!

P C Awesome restaurant in the heart of The Stockyards. Great selection of food and drink. Service is fast and friendly. Plenty of tables and the bar in an awesome hangout. Upstairs and downstairs seating. Get a table upstairs if you have a choice. Outdoor seating in front. Try the fried green tomatoes. Lots of wonderful cocktails. A must stop while in the area.

Nakaiya Walters I came across this spot thanks to Fort Worth Lovelist and the rooftop aesthetic had me curious…and it did not disappoint. The rooftop view is absolutely top-tier — you get that full Fort Worth skyline moment, and it really sets the tone for the evening. The overall vibe is giving “grown, polished, and outside” — perfect for a date night or a cute girls night out. It’s sexy without trying too hard. Now let’s talk about this food. They describe the menu as authentic Mexican cuisine inspired by Mexico City, which was a refreshing shift from the usual Tex-Mex we’re used to in Texas. The Trio of Guacamole was actually fun to try — the bacon jam topped one was my favorite hands down. The shrimp and pickled onion one didn’t hit as strong in flavor as I expected, but I’d still order it again. The Basket of Hand-Made Empanadas... Listen. They had birria inside. I was not expecting to be that impressed — but I was. So good. And the Crispy Octopus was a nice change from the typical calamari situation most places do. Definitely worth trying if you like branching out a bit. I’ll definitely be back — and if you haven’t been yet, go ahead and put it on your list. Go sooner rather than later.

Daniel Guerrero Chef Graham Eliot and the restaurant certainly live up to the hype. From the staff to dessert, everything was wonderful. The food was amazing and atmosphere was incredible. You have to bring that special someone, or really anyone or no one to this amazing place. You wont regret it. Oh yeah, one last thing.....the pasta was hand made and tasted like I had never had.

Ziaur Chowdhury We kicked off New Year’s Day here as a family and had an excellent experience. Despite the lunch rush, Julia took great care of us. She was attentive, warm, and kept everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. The food and atmosphere made it a perfect start to the year, and Julia’s hospitality truly stood out. We will be back.

Darlene Rosati I took my daughter here for her birthday and it was wonderful! The service was amazing and the food, especially the salmon crudo, was delicious! The restaurant is located on the 17th floor of the Autograph Collection Sinclair hotel and has great views of downtown Fort Worth. For better views, there is available seating outside.

Audrey Delicious food! Excellent service! We have been a few times and each time everything was on point. Food always fresh! They have the BEST falafel! Even the water is good! You can tell it’s not tap water! You can tell they take pride in service and truly want you to have a great dining experience! And of course we will be back!
