Eatery has a large wraparound patio with lots of tables to seat guests with a craving for a twist on breakfast and brunch. Watch for the daily specials to enjoy on the outdoor patio and the partially enclosed patio when temperatures get colder. They are famous for the meaty, tender ribs piled high, barbecued turkey, bologna, cheddar peppers, the coldest beer in Fort Worth, and tart, flavorful barbecue sauce. My husband gets his brisket sandwich with hand-cut fries and a beer. My standing order here is the sliced beef brisket sandwich plate with beans, potato salad, and a Shiner draft beer. “Life’s too short to live in Dallas!” That’s the motto at the Railhead Smokehouse. The build-your-own bento box makes a great lunch. Try the individually priced, by-the-piece tempura with black tiger shrimp and red snapper. Here you’ll find an inventive sushi menu, with my favorite tidbits: the peppercorn tuna and, if you’re brave, the seared octopus. Named after a train station in Tokyo, Shinjuku Station is a Japanese izakaya, or informal Japanese bar, on West Magnolia offering spacious outdoor dining, sake, Japanese whiskeys, savory cocktails, and tasty snacks. You must save room for Tres Leches Chocolate Cheesecake. Try appetizers like the freshest guacamole, Queso Supreme with ground beef, guacamole, pico de gallo, or specialty items like chicken mole, the enchilada plate, carne guisada, or fish tacos. My favorite is the Skillet Fajita Plate with a choice of chicken or steak with grilled onions and peppers, refried beans, Spanish rice, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Offering authentic homemade Mexican cuisine in their renovated family home, Tia’s on the Bluff offers a relaxing home patio experience. Tuesday to Saturday on the shady patio featuring small plates like Maine lobster macaroni and cheese, oyster mushrooms, or The Dirty Dozen, a flight of premium oysters. You’ll love the fresh halibut flown in from Alaska as well as the ranch-to-table Wagyu beef. Diver scallops from Maine get a Tex-Mex golden-seared touch while my favorite jumbo crab cakes are a product of massive lump crab meat. In Sundance Square, Waters Restaurant, led by chef-owner John Bonnell and executive chef Anthony Felli, combines Louisiana flavors with a Southwest hint. He also makes breakfast tacos from 9 to 11 a.m. Savor your favorite frosty cold beer with Travis’s Heimburger and wrap it up with his wife Emma’s homemade banana pudding. Get the lean brisket sandwich with a side of bacon burnt ends and green chile mac ’n’ cheese. Pitmaster Travis’s “farm-to-smoker” barbecue is cooked slowly over post oak fires with all his accumulated secrets. ![]() In the last five years, award-winning Heim Barbecue has grown from backyard meat club parties and then a food truck to the Magnolia Avenue location and their newest site with a spacious patio and more picnic tables on the grounds along the Trinity River. The pitcher of margaritas is infamous at Joe T’s. We enjoy both I order the fajitas, and my husband gets the enchiladas and tacos. You don’t need a menu because it’s simple - beef or chicken fajitas or cheese enchiladas and beef tacos with the works. ![]() A Fort Worth tradition since 1935, you’ll find classic Tex-Mex food amid a garden of fountains, waterfalls, hibiscus, bougainvillea, and giant shady oak trees. You can’t visit Fort Worth and not spend an evening on the patio at Joe T. Wrap it up with the best West Texas Pecan Pie, like Mama used to make, or Dessert Tacos with caramelized bananas and chocolate sauce. I recommend an old-fashioned made with local Firestone and Robertson whiskey or a Habanero Lime Margarita. You’ll find legendary Texas cuisine like my favorite Tenderloin Tamales, famous steaks like the Blackened Buffalo Rib Eye, or melt-in-your-mouth 16-ounce Cowboy Bone-In Rib Eye with Cook’s Butter. Take in the wide-open spaces of downtown and Sundance Square from the rooftop bar and patio. Named for the majestic ranch in the 1950s epic movie Giant, starring James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, and Rock Hudson, Reata is my favorite place to take out-of-towners for the full flavor of Fort Worth ambiance. Let’s explore my favorite foodie finds (in no particular order) and imaginative adult beverages in a patio environment where we can practice plenty of social distancing and still enjoy a variety of Cowtown cuisine. Fort Worth embodies its mottos: “Where the West Begins” and “Cowboys and Culture,” and is known for its twice-daily cattle drives and plenty of barbecue and Mexican food. I love the golden sunlight, cooler temperatures, colorful leaves, and a nice breeze while sitting on my favorite shady patio, enjoying small plates and a margarita. As I write, it’s fall weather in Fort Worth.
