Saint-Emilion Restaurant
No you’re not in France, but yes you might feel like you are. If your first step into Saint-Emilion Restaurant’s charming cottage doesn’t transport to the idyllic French countryside, then its dishes will. The upscale, top-rated restaurant offers the best in French and European food, from pâté to coq au vin to Le Canard du Saint-Emilion – a house favorite.
Lili's Bistro
Good luck if you step into Lili’s at the peak of lunch hour. The popular bistro is a bustling hotspot for those craving simple midday plates that are anything but boring (Gorgonzola Fries, anyone?). But if lunch isn’t your vibe, stop by for dinner for a more intimate experience, complete with candlelit tables, live music, and sinful wine deals.
Rodeo Goat
How could we include a list of Top Ten and not include this iconic spot? Rodeo Goat has been a Fort Worth favorite for years, dishing out juicy, stacked burgers that sound almost too good to be true. While their sides are undoubtedly delicious, these burgers can strongly stand on their own…though the Cheese Fries Surprise are worth mentioning.

Reata Restaurant

Whether you stop by for lunch, brunch, dinner, or drinks, you’ll discover traditional dishes and drinks made better due to the restaurant’s unabashed Texas twists.
