    Pork chop
    Morgan S.

    Branch and bird provides a lovely ambiance and spectacular views to spend an evening enjoying incredible food. Our server was very kind and answered many of the questions we had about the menu. Food reviews: Shrimp crispy rice--our servers recommendation and a standout dish of the evening. All elements were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Pear and Gorgonzola flatbread--3.5/5. good base flavor but was missing something to balance the prominent Gorgonzola flavor (I also had to substitute the prosciutto, so that may change the flavor). Crust was cooked nicely. Pork chop--My husband LOVED this dish and said it's one of the best he's had.

    This was our third time going up there and our first trying food. It isn't very welcoming any time we've gone in. But we sat at the bar and ordered a sliced steak sandwich and the turkey bacon sandwich. Both were good but the steak sandwich was GREAT. Id go back for it easily. The staff was decent. It's very quiet and so is the staff.

    Very much corporate lunch spot vibes. My lunch was pretty tasty and well-balanced and a good portion. The atmosphere is lacking but overall i was satisfied with this lunch!

    Sliced ribeye and turkey club Sandwich

    The first time I came here they were closing from lunch at 2 and told us to come back around 5 but our plans meant we couldn't. We finally got back here today for lunch and I wasn't wowed by it. So nobody really greeted us when we arrived off of the elevator. We sat ourselves, it was quiet maybe 2 other couples at tables and we sat at the bar. Someone did bring us a drink menu and water pretty swiftly. I had a Midnight Rodeo cocktail which was really good and then me and my hubby ordered the sliced ribeye sandwich and a turkey club. It came out quick. The ribeye was great and the turkey was good, it came with old fashioned chips which were also good. The menu was very small for lunch a couple of sandwich and salad choices and then there is a cafe up there which served coffee, and some pastries/cookies. We made a reservation online to sit outside but when we got there it was locked and we weren't allowed out (they were washing the windows) it is January and a little cold also. I enjoyed it, but I just was expecting different. I said to my husband we will have to come back in the evening for dinner service and see if it changes our perspective.

    Cute spot for happy hour, celebrations, or just because! Wonderful view of the city from the rooftop patio! Service: amazing! Our server came by plenty and made sure we were good. Food: Great! We ordered a few appetizers and drinks! Everything was tasty!

    Yellowjacket cocktail
    Anna H.

    I would highly recommend Branch & Bird for good food and a beautiful view of Fort Worth! I got the yellowjacket cocktail and it was so good I had to order another! I ordered the filet mignon and it was so tender and delicious, way better quality meat than I was expecting. It came with two sides so I got brussel sprouts and mac and cheese and they were alright, but the steak was definitely the star of the show. The service was also great, our waitress wished me a happy birthday multiple times. Make sure to tell them if it's your birthday because you'll get a free slice of cake!

    Our server was Britain. She was GREAT. We sat on the patio. It was warm outside, but nice on the patio. Great views. Nice breeze. Food was great. Burger was cooked perfectly and served with chips. Pear salad had a great champagne vinaigrette. Crab Cakes Benedict was lovely. Typically served on an English Muffin, but not here. I liked not having the extra bread. Served with potatoes. They were nice, but a little dry. Overall a great meal. Would definitely return.

    Amazing ambiance!! Me and my wife ate on the roof top portion and had amazing views of downtown! The food we ordered was great, the only reason I give 4 stars is because the 2 main menu items we were looking forward to trying were unavailable.

    Pepperoni Flatbread
    Jacquelyn C.

    The happy hour is alright, but service here is lovely. The view of DTFW is great and sitting on the balcony gives a wonderful view. We got a few drinks and the cheese & meat platter as well as a pepperoni flatbread. The cheese and meat platter was standard, but I loved the pickled green beans that came on the board. The flatbread was crispy and hot.

    Bacon wrapped quail

    What a great experience! I was asked on a date and told to meet here. The parking was really simple and they validated my parking tab. We were seated immediately out on the rooftop and what a view!!! The weather was perfect and we were able to watch most of the sunset. For our drinks we got a bottle of red blend because they were half off. #win. Yummy!!! For an appetizer we went with the beef carpaccio. It came with pita chips. The steak was rare and very delicate. It was full of flavor and left me anxious to try the next dish. For an entree I decided to go with the bacon wrapped quail. It was paired with jalapeño cheddar grits and brussel sprouts. The quail was also stuffed with jalapeño and was very spicy! I had to remove the jalapeños and found that it included the seeds. Way too hot for my taste but this was a flavorful dish in spite of the heat. I decided to pass on the dessert which is a chefs special so ask for the verbal menu and I'm certain they'll have something yummy. I can't wait to return for another wonderful evening and to try more of the fabulous dishes. This place is great for date night or girls night out!

    Hubby and I came here for an impromptu lunch date and it was a very pleasant surprise! First of all, I stupidly know they served specialty coffee beverages and every single one looked so much fun! I got the iced cranberry matcha latte, which was delicious, but the milk was a bit curdled, so it wasn't all the pretty. We opted to sit outside on the patio for the view and it was a full patio with a few groups enjoying lunch. The whole menu looked super appetizing, it was hard to choose, but I went for the fish while hubby went with the steak melt. Service was warm and attentive, but extremely slow. At times it seemed like there were only 2-3 servers attending to both the patio and indoor dining area. They could have used at least 2 more staff to keep things moving. We were often left waiting for long stretches of time. Food was actually delightful! My fish was cooked just right and the rice was flavorful. The green beans had a nice crunch to them, which is exactly what I was craving! Hubby polished his plate with ease. I would definitely come back again!

    Cheers

    Bird Branch is perfect for a lunch with friends or a romantic dinner. This place has a very lovely concept. The food is good--not in my top 10--but I'd still recommend it, and it offers a beautiful view of the city.

The noise level was extremely high...we literally had to yell just to have a conversation with each other. Service was also very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the bar, and close to 30 minutes to actually receive a drink. When I finally ordered, I told the bartender to make her favorite drink. She made something that included raw egg whites (which I later learned is common in certain cocktails), but it wasn't mentioned or explained at the time. A few hours later, I became very sick...vomiting and dealing with what felt like severe food poisoning all night and through the next 24 hours. After looking into it, I suspect it may have been related to the raw egg used in the drink. Just something to be aware of if you're ordering drinks like a whiskey sour or anything that may include egg whites. After getting our receipt (which you need for the speakeasy entry code), we checked out the speakeasy portion, but the vibe there wasn't great either..pretty must the same as the other part of the bar. We ended up leaving within about five minutes. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype for us....between the noise, long wait times, and how we were treated, it just wasn't enjoyable. For comparison, the bar next door, Archibald, felt much more welcoming. Maybe regulars have a different experience, but as first-time guests, we were not impressed.

But from the very first phone call, Sophie at Blackland Distillery showed nothing but grace and patience. She allowed us to keep pushing back our reservation without a hint of frustration, and that alone deserves a standing ovation. When we finally arrived, what could've been a ruined evening turned into one of the most memorable nights we've had. Every single person we encountered at Blackland was incredibly kind and welcoming. Marshall greeted us with warmth, and Jeremy? He's not just a bartender--he's a cocktail artist. The drinks he crafted for us were next-level, easily some of the best we've ever had. He truly understands spirits and how to elevate them. We were genuinely torn when it was time to leave for our dinner reservation at Wicked Butcher--honestly, we could've stayed sipping Jeremy's creations all night. Before we left, we got to meet Sophie in person (she stuck around!), and by that time, we had sampled every single spirit Blackland offers. Each one was exceptional--smooth, bold, and full of character. Take home message: Top-tier spirits, an amazing vibe, and a team that genuinely cares--Blackland Distillery turned a stressful day into an unforgettable celebration. We'll be back... and next time, we're staying all night.
