24 Best Southern Restaurants near Benbrook

“I believe that this is the best Cracker Barrel location in the entire metroplex! Never once have I had a bad experience at ANY location, but especially at this location because all of the employees go above and beyond. One time I placed an order for the Chicken Fried Chicken, and the chicken was smaller than a playing card. I called the location; they took down my address and express mailed me 2 gift cards to cover the cost of the CFC meal.“

“Loved it! After sending my friends there multiple times and hearing their reports / seeing their pics, I finally made it. I was looking for a burger one day on the way home from the airport and remembered Dayne's burgers. A week ago, a neighbor picked up a couple of burgers from Dayne's for the wife and I. Oh how amazing they were. So now I'm in there and in line looking at the menu. So many good choices - so I made a plan. Today, grab a burger and Frito Beans, then come back Sunday for a Beef Rib and Burnt ends. The burger was amazing. Two thin patties, 2 kinds of cheese and some red onion. Perfect. And I really liked the Frito Beans. Beans at BBQ joints can be hit and miss. I loved their take on beans. C'mon Sunday - can't wait for a Beef Rib!“

“The food is great. Really really great. The service is impeccable. (Shout out to Letty and Robert) You should go, and spend money, and tip well. These people are killing it. This should continue to be a treasured Ft. Worth Institution. Please take my money, and maybe please put the crawfish etouffee back on the menu?“

“Great food, service, great local town cafe. Very busy on the weekends but we are able to get in and out very quickly. Ordered The Scrambler, it was delicious anecdotes plenty of food for a great price. Definitely would recommend for people to go and have some great homemade breakfast.“

“On my trip from California I was looking for a great place to eat and relax. I'm SO glad I found this place! The perfectly seasoned burger and fries and the kind demeanor of Kat, my waitress, really made eating here special. Highly reccomend.“

“What can I say about this place? The food was so good I wanted to slap some body. The people or nice. I'm not from Fort Worth but if I was this would be a weekly spot for me to eat. And you might think the price is high but you will not finish your meal In one sitting. So I ate some at lunch and took the rest back to the hotel for dinner later and I still didn't finish it. Go by and check this place out it is really good.Parking: It's a parking lot with lots of spaces what more can I say.Kid-friendliness: I walked in and young kids were sitting enjoying their turkey legs.“

“Really enjoyed my honey chicken with kale salad. Sides of grits & sweet potatoes were well cooked and hot bugs comfort food spot. Biscuits with butter and honey are mouthwatering perfect. Bananas Foster crème brûlée was enjoy. Not a huge pecan pie fan as it lacks a bit of flavor depth especially for a southern based restaurant. Overall, was a delicious experience. Service was accurate and courteous. Ambience was romantic.“

“This place is the best. I've tried plenty of hot chicken all over the place. At some places the seasoning isn't the best, some places the chicken isn't the best, and some places the sauce isn't the best. Not here. It is great across the board. Never had a bad experience when dining here.“

“Oh My Smothering Biscuits, this place is amazing! The chicken salad is the best you’ll ever have, the fries and potatoes are perfect, the Bangin’ Burrito is on point, the desserts are delicious, and I’m sure anything else I haven’t tried is phenomenal as well! Chef Katrina is the best!“

“OMG! I love this place! Amanda is the greatest, she just makes everyone feel welcome! And all the staff are super friendly. The food is phenomenal and I didn't l like chicken salad before trying it here! I literally haven't tried anything here that I didn't like! ?“

“The food was wonderful, the margaritas were tasty, but the service by Evan was outstanding. He had excellent recommendations, was very knowledgeable about the food (specially the Trout Dip - 10/10 recommend!!) and was so friendly. If we could take Evan on the road with us this whole trip through Fort Worth to be our server we would. I can’t wait to come back soon!“

“The batter is very unique and has a spice to it making the taste unique. Tried the fried chicken and tenders. Tenders were very large and full filling making them a higher quality than other chicken tenders. The cole slaw has a sweet and addictive taste. Macaroni is outstanding. Definitely a unique style of fried chicken and would recommend to anyone looking for a new lunch/dinner spot.Parking: Parked in nearby neighborhoods. Small parking lot behind the restaurant that's first come first serve.“

“Michael's is the place to go on Tuesday nights for their famous Prime Rib. We'd heard a lot about it and finally got our chance to enjoy a wonderful evening here. The service was great. Our server knew all about the menu and was very helpful in answering questions. I asked for an end cut of prime rib. I really like the crispy outside, and although its usually a little more toward the medium well side, it was delicious. My hubby ordered a 12 ounce portion, medium to medium rare. It arrived perfectlycooked and nestled on a bed of the best mashed potatoes around. The gravy was hot and flavorful as well.We'll be back soon to try more of the menu items. I know we can't go wrong!“

“I have lived in the deep south and have been in search of great catfish for years, look no further Belzoni's not only delivers they exceeded all expectations. The catfish is moist, battered perfectly, not greasy, and delivered hot. The sides especially the turnip greens have such an amazing flavor and prepared without any bacon fat. This is a must place to dine.“

“Not sure what's going on with the hours of operation but, the website is showing business is open. Drove all the way from Saginaw, TX. Pulled in the VACANT parking lot just to see a small hand written note stating business will be closed until January 23rd. I visited the restaurant just before Christmas and the hostess told me and other customers they would be back in full operation on January 16th. Keep in mind if you decide to eat here and you don't have any issues burning your gas driving, you may want to call ahead and that's only if they answer the phone. Food quality is very good. I will give them that.Parking: Parking lot is only big enough for 3-4 cars max . very dangerous parking out on the curbside.“

“OMG!! I tried Smack Bird for the first time! It was good.. I had the Big Bird with fries.. Y’all, let me tell you, Those Fries are seasoned just right.. my chicken was crispy and juicy.. that Smack Sauce! Forget about it! I mean, Don’t forget about it, you will want some! Glad I gave them a try..It really did Smack!“

“Ambiance is very western. The location is in the heart of the stockyards-- perfect if you're visiting Ft. Worth. The Hotel 97 West is located in is the Dover Hotel and is absolutely amazing. The details were thought out very well. The food was what you'd expect to find at a steakhouse, but with a western twist. Service was speedy, but we weren't rushed. It's dark inside but the bar is great and outdoors you have fountains and a view of the trinity river.“

“Love going to chicken salad chick when I want something light and chill. I have had a bunch of their different flavors and don't think I've had a bad one yet! Whether you get a scoop, sandwich, or soup with your combo you can't go wrong! My only complaint is I wish they were better at getting the cracker ratio just right lol“

“Affordable place to get some food and drinks in downtown Fort Worth. Wings are phenomenal, the drink pours for old fashioneds were larger than other places and the service was friendly. Also had football on so we could watch the MNF game while there.“

“I cant say much more than this place is good. Yeah sometimes they have mixups or a lunch rush but anytime they fix it quickly. Managment is doing a good job. I will keep coming here because I know they do care. Delicous food, fun atmostphere, chill environment and good people.“

“The day our BFF got her new ring we stopped here to eat and it was really good. Upon ordering different meals and veggies it was delicious seasoned almost to perfection. The bread was great and it's addictive so watch out not to eat too much before the main meal or you will be packing some home which is okay“

“The food was hot and amazing as usual! Way better value by picking my order up vs ordering through a 3rd party app. Prices are very competitive and you get a great portion of food for your money. I’m a repeat customer and Cracker Barrel continues to be one of my favorite restaurants for comfort food ❤️.“

“This was our 2nd business meeting at Cast Iron for breakfast. Amber and her team are very welcoming and attentive. This was absolutely a wonderful place and everything from the service to the food was exemplary. Thank you everyone at Cast Iron!“

“My wife and I went here for dinner tonight. The service was great and our waitress, Chloe, was amazing. She was very attentive and always there when we needed something. All of our "special" requests were completed above and beyond. The food was good as always and we had plenty leftover to take home for tomorrow. Great job Chloe!!!“
