    Pork Belly Eggs Benedict
    Susan H.

    I came here with my companions before the America 250 matinee performance, and even though it was a cloudy, yucky day, the atmosphere was still nice with the glorious view of the pond outside, where we enjoyed watching a family of ducks swimming to and fro. The Cafe was very busy, but there were plenty of servers to attend to everyone. We had made a reservation online and were seated right on time. The brunch menu wasn't huge, but the selection had something for everyone, no matter what their dietary needs. For appetizers, we got a plate of Cornbread and the roasted Brussels sprouts and both were wonderful! For my entree, I ordered the Pork Belly Benedict, which was accompanied by some yummy roasted potatoes, was tasty and delicious. The one thing I failed to do - and it's my fault - was telling the server that we had tickets for the 2pm performance. As a result was that we were scrambling to get the check at 2:00 and were almost late for the performance. Thankfully, the doors were still open next door when we hustled out after paying the check. Aside from that small detail, our experience at Cafe Modern was a very pleasant prelude to a wonderful afternoon.

    Steak Frites (AN)

    It's first Friday at the museum and the museum had free admission, light bites, music, and a cash bar. Hubby and I haven't gone out in quite a while so we went to check it out and decided to also have dinner at Cafe Modern because the chef is Filipino and we wanted to support other Filipinos. I made reservations for 7:45pm, thinking it'll give us time to walk around, look at art and listen to music, and take in the beautiful scenery, but we were done with all of that by 6:30pm. Hubby hadn't eaten all day so we checked in early to the reservation to see if they could seat us earlier. We were hanging out by the bar to wait, but we didn't have to wait for very long. They were able to seat us at around 6:50 (I remember because that's when I got a text saying a table was ready). Ambiance - gorgeous. This is the first time here and we've passed this place so often, not knowing it was there. The beautifully lit trees reflected in the water made the experience so romantic. Food - stellar. I wasn't sure what to expect, but we started off with Brussels sprouts and the truffle chicken pot pie. We had to get it because of the yuzu in the Brussels sprouts and the truffle in the pot pie. Both of these dishes were so full of flavor. For our main course, I had the osso bucco and husband had the steak frites. I loved my osso bucco, but I could only eat half of it because we completely devoured the Brussels sprouts and pot pie. The steak frites was very good as well, but the osso bucco was the winner for me. Finally for dessert, we had the apple jack pie a la mode. It was a wonderful way to cap off a hearty dinner. The apple was perfectly tart and sweet and the cinnamon ice cream was the perfect accompaniment. Service - excellent. Our server was personable and so nice. When I ordered for me and my husband because my husband said he couldn't pronounce "steak frites", our waiter assured him that he also couldn't pronounce "steak frites". He was just very humorous, self-deprecating, and humble. Definitely would come back to try other things. I heard the menu changes seasonally so I'm excited to see what Chef has in the spring, summer, and fall.

    Cafe Modern is the restaurant in the Modern Art Museum. It's a beautiful spot to get lunch or Friday night dinner. The food is excellent, it's a work of art in and of itself. The service is impeccable. I will always come back!

    I went with college girlfriends during our mini reunion to Cafe Modern for lunch over Memorial weekend this past Saturday. They don't serve brunch on Saturday's, only Sunday's. Despite not having many brunch options, the food was delicious! The waitress was very attentive and remembered all of our orders from memory with no mistakes. She told us she was studying to be a nurse. She will be a great nurse some day! After brunch we walked around the botanical gardens. Other than being hot and muggy that day, it was awesome to see the beautiful plants and flowers.

    We came here on ST Patrick's Day, not planned we were just looking for somewhere that served brunch that wouldn't be slammed with people partying. I had it saved for a while and wanted to try and I'm glad we did. It was actually so quiet we thought it may have been closed but a few other couple showed up, our server was really nice and funny, an older lady and she recommended her favourite dishes which were great. I had the Korean style fried chicken great Asian flavours and came with a nice fluffy waffle and a spicy yet sweet syrup. My husband got the eggs Benedict he loved he's too. The ambience is so relaxing looking out at the water and now we want to go back and visit the museum and maybe try dinner :)

    Chinois Chicken Salad
    Loren B.

    Outstanding food, lovely atmosphere, and professional service left a very high impression of Café Modern. Nestled around an unmarked corner in the back of the broad atrium of the Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art, Café Modern may not make itself known to you at all. I've made several visits to see the art and never knew it was here. The short walk from he high walls of the entry along the pool towards the restaurant is photo-worthy. Glassy water reflects the modern architecture and blue Texas sky with a shimmery warmth. I ordered the Soft Scramble Omelet, a keto friendly dish with the trylu softest omelet I've ever had, garnished with some lightly oiled greens dusted with sea salt. The simple contrast was elegant and tasty. At our table we also had the Chinois Chicken Salad, Cucumber Sandwich, Summer Rolls, and Tomato Peach Panzanella Salad. Everyone loved their food. One in our band also had a spice Bloody Mary, which was spectacular. Prices were a little high for some items I thought. But quality was also high. If you come with one other person, I'd recommend waiting for a two-top by the window. Highly recommended!

    Ghoulash was delicious.

    Delicious food, classy atmosphere, great service, and an beautiful view of the night lights reflecting off of the water by the Modern. Fresh & satisfying with a well rounded menu. A true Fort Worth gem.

    Went here early December 2021, after hearing Cafe Modern opened up their dinner dining option again. I made a reservation for 2 in advance, and got there a bit early to check out the exhibits in the museum before eating at the restaurant. The views were really special, and perfect since I wanted a holiday-related outing My partner and I ordered the Mezze Platter, Black and White Bucatini, Dan Dan Noodles, and the waitress recommended the Peaches and Cream dessert. All of it was delicious and flavorful. The Bucatini was a bit salty, so watch out for that if that's not your preference. I had the Noodles, which were just the right amount of spice. The Peaches and Cream Dessert was possibly the most yummy thing I've ever had (I literally said that when I bit into it), so thank you to our waitress for recommending that! The waiting time was a bit long between each dish, but the view and the food made it worth it. We were able to stroll on the greenery area where the tree sculpture and Christmas light trees are after we finished dinner, which was a lovely way to end the experience.

    We love coming here for lunch when visiting the modern. The ambiance is perfectly integrated with the architecture of the museum and us part of the experience. The service here was great! We loved everything we ordered. I'm looking forward to enjoy this food here again during our next visit.

    Sticky Ribs
    Forking Foodie Life ..

    This was our first time at Cafe Modern after the First Friday event. The First Friday event was a lot of fun - if you can find a table. Get there early as there are no reservations for tables in the atrium area. They have a small bite buffet type offering and beverages. The lines were long in this area, so we went into the Cafe Modern and purchased a bottle of wine for our table to enjoy while listening to the music. We had made dinner reservations at Cafe Modern, and moved our party into the dining room, and the setting is spectacular. The view out over the water is stunning. Highly recommend reservations as the dining room isn't large but doesn't feel crowed. They also have a small bar where you can sit and enjoy a tasty beverage. Our table started with Sticky Ribs, Melon and Prosciutto and the Duck Fat Tater Tots. The Melon and Prosciutto while the presentation was lovely nothing over the top. The Sticky Ribs were tasty but the hit of the starters was definitely the Duck Fat Tater Tots. The Tater Tots are served with a Garlic Aioli which truly takes them over the top. For entrees we selected the Gemelli Mushroom Ragu, Miso Corn Tortelloni and Grilled Tri Trip. The winner of this round was the Gemelli Mushroom Rage - flavorful and filling. The Miso Corn Tortelloni was tasty but only four tortelloni, so if your appetite is big, select something else on the menu. The Grilled Tri Tip was a swing and a miss! The Tri Tip was as tough as a boot! I understand this is a tough cut of meat to cook but the server assured us it was marinated and slow cooked to perfection. Yes we shared the meat was tough. We ordered three desserts to share and the server comped one due to the entree issue. All of the desserts were tasty. Despite the disappointing Tri Tip the evening was fun for our group. We will definitely go back but will pass on the Trip Tip!

Most recently we opted for some pancakes . Overall the quantity you get for the price is good but the overall quality is not always consistent. The first time we came my husband had piping hot mashed potatoes while mine were almost cold on one side. The next time we came the fries were no longer home fries but just your regular frozen variety. The time after that, one of the chicken fried steaks was a little gummy at the bottom, probably from an uneven fry. This is not to say everything else is bad, they just seem to have an inconsistent cook. Pancakes are good though. Service is typically okay, just like anywhere it depends on your server. If you happen to be seated in a... non assigned area... you may not get the most attentive service and flagging down a different server will just have to do. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating. They also serve pies, giant cookies, and brownies. I do recommend really looking at the pies since the servers don't always know what's in the fridge, so when they say "thats a lemon pie' you may end up with a Buttermilk slice like we did. The brownies are also... not good... so I really don't recommend them. They don't really taste like anything... Overall an okay country kitchen, not overly bad but also not the best. They could use some tweaks and better quality control.

The pollo Frito was delicious, the chicken was seasoned well and maintained crunch even within the biscuit. Duck fat potatoes were also good but were even better after adding some salt. The brisket benny was okay, the texture of the brisket was very odd and didn't really hold up to the egg. Although the okra had a great flavor the batter was a bit too thick which made it chewy. The Fixe breakfast was great and the maple sausage was perfect. Our waitress was Adriana, she was great and very helpful. Overall we would definitely come back and look forward to trying dinner one night.

I ordered the salmon Benedict's and my husband ordered a cheeseburger. We were quite perplexed on their sides. They don't offer french fries with a hamburger or even a bag of chips. Their sides are potatoes au gratin, asparagus, Mac & cheese,if they have it, and mushrooms. We were also quite surprised at the exact location of this restaurant. It's tucked away on a small street of a camp Bowie in a strip shopping center. We found the food to be very good, but it'd be nice to have appetizers on every menu and it would be nice if you could have french fries to go with a cheeseburger. I'm sharing pictures of the menu for the brunch and lunch. The dinner menu has more options.

    This was my 3rd visit to Hurtado. Last year I went for my birthday and the staff was so kind. Then…read moremy husband and I came for date night a month later. Today it was my choice for Mother's Day. We were greeted right away and before I even started the order, they gave me some flowers. That was a really nice touch of service. We got the brisket and pork belly burnt ends because we had loved them before. Today we also tried the garlic black pepper sausage and I got a birria taco. I loved the taco and will definitely be back for this. The pork belly burnt ends are the best I have ever had, and that is why we keep coming back.

    Wow. Talk about amazing customer service. Demi greeted us right as we walked through the door…read more She was a welcomed experience. Fun with an amazing personality. She turned a bad day into a great one in just a matter of seconds. Thanks Demi. The first thing I noticed is they have new menus. Detailed and easy to read. We opted to try "the Jefe". It's a combination of ribs, pulled pork, burnt ends, brisket, turkey and sausage. Our sides consisted of Green beans, potato salad, tater tot casserole, cabbage and Hatch green chili Mac n cheese. Also ordered a Texas Twinkie! Hurtados knows BBQ. Ribs are tender and tasty and MOIST! The perfect combination. Their burnt ends are other worldly. My absolute favorite. A slight sweet but tangy outer layer that makes your eyes roll back in your head. The Pulled pork equally as good. The turkey...drum roll is the best in Fort Worth. The brisket has the perfect outer crust while maintaining a moistness. Finally the Texas Twinkie....a stuffed jalapenos with pimento cheese and wrapped in bacon cooked in a BBQ sauce outer coating. Scrumptious! Damn, it's sooooo good. Here's where Hurtado rises above other BBQ's restaurants...(besides having great customer service) is their sides. The potato salad is Devine. Deliciously Devine. It has a little kick and is a mashed potato salad that is soooo dang flavorful. We literally almost fell out of our chairs when we tried the tater tot casserole. Unique in all the right ways. A MUST TRY! Green beans, cabbage, beans all BBQ staples and delicious in their own right. Their BBQ sauces, peach habanero, sweet n spicy and Aztec gold compliments the meats perfectly. I'm not a sauce kinda guy but was pleasantly surprised with theirs. The restaurant is small and they recently added more seating. It was packed with a nice flow of customers. Happy customers.
