If you ever though that the words sophisticated and cowboy just don't sound right in the same sentence, think again. The Reata serves up some of the tastiest down home Southwest fare in Texas accompanied with a friendly and refined atmosphere. The allure of the old Reata still exists despite the fact the original location no longer does. Inside, the Library Bar is decorated with salvaged copper trim from the tornado ravaged Bank One building where the Reata was previously housed, and the dining room is made to resemble the "old" 35-story view. So sit back, relax and reminisce as you dig in to a slab of ribs.

Riscky's Barbecue


Barbecue tradition since 1927
300 Main Street
Fort Worth, TX 76102
United States
+1 817 877 3306
http://www.risckys.com/
In 1927 the Riscky family opened their first grocery store in the Fort Worth Stockyards and they have been serving the residents ever since. With three locations now in Fort Worth, the barbecue served here is legendary. The main location in Sundance Square serves all of the favorites, including beef ribs, pork ribs, chicken, ham and turkey, each seasoned with "Riscky Dust" and barbecued to perfection.

Saltgrass Steak House


Great Texas beef in the heart of Cowtown
4627 City Lake Boulevard West
Fort Worth, TX 76132
United States
+1 817 263 5577
http://www.saltgrass.com/
This great steakhouse offers Texas favorites in the heart of Cowtown. The interior of Saltgrass Steak House has longhorn steer and deer heads perched on the walls, as well as Texas signs and other memorabilia. The perimeter of the restaurant is against a small lake, so there is ample opportunity to watch the water and maybe catch a glimpse of a duck while you are dining. The menu concentrates on beef—the thick and juicy cognac pepper Angus steak is mouthwatering. You also have choices of wonderful dishes like the plump grilled chicken breast and the grilled chicken pasta salad. The wine list here is well rounded, a perfect compliment to your meal.

Trail Dust Steakhouse


Texas-style cuisine, live music and dancing
2300 East Lamar Boulevard
(at Highway 360)
Fort Worth, TX 76006
United States
+1 817 640 6411
http://www.traildust.com/
Trail Dust Steakhouse offers a true Texas dining experience with live country music in a building that resembles a large country barn. Long wooden tables, complete with red-checkered tablecloths, bring everyone together in a family style. The dress code is "anything" except neckties. The chefs cook up large, juicy steaks over a mesquite wood fire. For a melt-in-your-mouth cut of beef, try the tenderfoot tenderloin, the stud porterhouse or the bull shipper(a 50-ounce porterhouse). Other entrees include baby back ribs, fried catfish, and mesquite-broiled chicken breasts. The desserts are excellent, so save room for the delicious chocolate fudge cake or the hot apple cobbler.

Uncle Julio's


Fresh Mexican food eatery
5301 Camp Bowie Boulevard
Fort Worth, TX 76107
United States
+1 817 377 2777
The interior of this place could easily pass for the restaurant version of a Mexican quilt. It is that bright and colorful. Traditional Mexico-inspired decor adorns the walls adding even more color. The open dining room is casual and the friendly waitstaff is attentive. Traditional Tex-Mex fare, such as fajitas, enchiladas and burritos are excellent. Other specialties on the menu include broiled quail and a few seafood entrees. Save room for dessert—the flan is excellent here.
