Restaurants
Downtown
Bird Café
155 East 4th Street
Cute downtown restaurant with nice patio in Sundance Square.
Jakes Burgers and Beer
515 Main Street
Good sports bar with great burgers. Once upon a time you could find Chris here drinking $1 Ultra’s.
Mi Cocina
509 Main Street
Great chips and salsa! Get a Mombo Taxi… and maybe another one.
Reata Restaurant
310 Houston Street
Great Texas experience with amazing southwestern food.
Salsa Limón
550 Throckmorton Street
This started as a late night food truck parked outside the cellar and has evolved into an amazing taco restaurant with many locations! Try the hot salsa – its SO hot!
TCU
Buffalo Brothers
3015 South University Drive
Highly recommend trying not only the wings, but the pepperoni pizza and fries. You can typically find us there before and/or after all TCU sporting events!
Dutch’s Hamburgers
3009 South University Drive
And one more burger place 🙂 Another staple on the TCU diet. Back in the day they used to have 3 dollar pitchers on Wednesday’s.
Fred’s Texas Cafe
3509 Blue Bonnet Circle
Forth Worth staple – the OG of good hamburgers in Fort Worth.
Fuzzy’s Taco Shop
2917 West Berry Street
Long before you could find these all across the US, we were getting our fuzzy’s tacos and quest between Classes and until 3am when they closed. Even though they have gone corporate with their expansion (which included redoing the current restaurant and “cleaning it up”), it is still a great place to try! Pro tip – don’t get the wine.
Woodshed Smokehouse
3201 Riverfront Drive
Exotic menu with a great patio on the river!
Yogi’s Deli and Grill
2710 South Hulen Street
While Chris is not happy this is on the list – this is one of Kara’s favorite breakfast spots. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant could make any morning (or afternoon) better!
