My husband picked Fort Redemption for his birthday and rack of lamb. He ate all the lamb off the bones and I thought I was going to have to do the Heimlach! I had the filet medium and it came medium rare with limited salting and seasoning. BEST filet I have ever had, melted in my mouth. This local beef from Glen Rose and these two young chefs know how to cook their meats. They made a 79th birthday so special! read more

We celebrated my husband's birthday here yesterday. We have been numerous times and it is one of our very favorites. We had the filet and scalloped potatoes which were exceptional. Cooked to perfection! Our server, Troy, was extremely knowledgeable and directed us to the perfect bottle of wine. He had just the right level of attentiveness and proficiency. In past visits we have enjoyed the salmon and lamb chops. There is nothing on the menus you won't enjoy! read more

We have eaten here often, but today was the first time for brunch. 3 of us had the cheese board, ribeye (perfectly cooked to med-rare) 2 eggs with the tastiest tomatoes to complement the plate. I am still thinking about that meal a day later. So much flavor in everything we ate. The service and decor just makes the entire experience just perfect! Highly recommend! read more

We braved the storms to dine at this restaurant last night and had a wonderful time. Our party of 6 received personal attention from the chef helping with wine and cocktail orders and descriptions of the mains and sides. My wine was excellent and everyone's steaks were cooked to order. My friend praised the tuna. The restaurant was quiet enough our hard of hearing folks could talk easily and stylishly decorated. Our server Brady was attentive and helpful. I plan to come back. read more

We went on a Sunday after Church so when we arrived, the restaurant wasn't busy at all. I was pleasantly surprised at the aesthetics walking in. The front windows of the restaurant had fairy purple lights hanging from the wall. The full bar is quite impressive as it maybe 12' long? But Just my guess. Don't quote me on it. Upon opening the restaurant early in the day you are offered their brunch menu. They have a lunch menu you just need to ask for it. The brunch and lunch menus didn't offer any type of appetizers, but I wish they would have the food service took quite a minute to have our meals brought to our table. 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. read more

My gosh! I have already reviewed this restaurant, but revisited as it was SO good! Today I tried their lamb chops and cannot in words say how beautiful they were! They were cooked and seasoned to perfection and you'll need to try the potatoes au gratin. The service was personalized and the ambiance is lovely. You will be comfortable being dressed up or casual. They have figured it out, y'all! read more

Fort Redemption - Lamb chops and potatoes au gratin - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I'm giving FR a strong review because I don't want another intimate, upscale restaurant to go out of business ala Fitzgerald. We went on a Sun at 7 and after about 20 minutes were the only people in the restaurant. First, the good. I ordered a white Russian and it was stiff and delicious. You'd be surprised how many places screw up this simple drink. The steaks were DELICIOUS! They were cooked a little under what we ordered but no matter they tasted great. Also, their prices are ridiculous...in a good way. 16 oz ribeye for $48 (that had less fat than any I've ever ordered)? This same steak would be at least 50% more anywhere else. The wine list, while short, was very reasonable priced and yielded an excellent Zin, 1000 something. Sauted mushrooms were tasty as well. The services was...relaxed. That was OK as we were celebrating our anniversary but I wonder how it would be with a full house. Now, the not so good. Sides were mostly mediocre. The potatoes au gratin were bland, tough, and the cheese wasn't completely melted. The Caesar salad was meh - passable but completely forgettable. NO BREAD - that's a very odd choice for a place like this. So, good start, they got most of the big things right, the rest needs improvement. read more

I have been wanting to try this place so I stopped in for lunch. It's an interesting menu that doesn't seem very cohesive. The only thing I can figure is they decided what they like to make and threw it all on a menu then let someone else decide on the decor of the restaurant. I got the brisket sandwich which was offered with two kinds of sauce one was a bourbon cream, and the other was some kind of wine reduction. The chopped brisket was tender and flavorful, but I really missed a good barbecue sauce. The other sauces were too thin for a brisket sandwich. A friend ordered the medium-well cheeseburger, but it came very well done and kind of dry. We both got the jalapeño mac & cheese with lots of jalapeños sprinkled over the top, but there was zero jalapeño flavor in the mac & cheese. That's kind of an issue with jalapeños these days, but they could've possibly left in some of the seeds or membranes to pull a little more flavor out of them. If you're going to serve a jalapeño mac & cheese, it really needs to have a jalapeño taste. The restaurant was practically empty and our server was a little bit intrusive, but very sweet and helpful. read more

We were recommended Fort Redemption by our food friends and I can see why. The place is in a shopping center. You wouldn't know a wonderful place like this existed if it wasn't for word of mouth. We came on a Friday night and there were 2 other parties there sitting at the tables. There were a few at the bar and one couple that came in when we left. Walking in felt like going into a loft. The space was open, but it also felt homey and the seats were VERY comfortable. So comfortable that my husband, before we left the restaurant, said "sit on my seat". The seat hugged my butt very well. We were greeted by Chloe. I LOVE HER! She is an amazing server and so friendly. She gave us great wine recommendations. I love a girl who's knowledgeable about her wine! She even gave us a card at the end of service with a recommendation for another wine. She is truly fantastic. We ordered a charcuterie board, the lamb chops (recommended by our friend), sirloin, banana pudding and flan. They were all so tasty. The rub on the sirloin and the lamb were delicious and the meat was cooked to perfection! The portions and price point were really outstanding. I ended up taking my 2 of my lamb chops home. I asked Chloe the best way to reheat it. I did what she said the following day for dinner and it was still juicy. Did I tell you that I absolutely love Chloe??? I wanted to write this review to rave about this place to drum up some business for it. I want to see this place succeed. Highly highly recommend this spot for a nice date night or just a night out with friends. You will not be disappointed. Oh and on Wednesdays for lunch, the burger is only $10 and I heard it was the best burger in Fort Worth, according to my foodie friends. read more

Why have I not been here before? I may never get salmon or steak anywhere else in town. Everyone was so nice as soon as we walked in the door. The decor was of course Christmas but you could see parts of their regular decor & it was beautiful. They are farm to table so there can be days like today when they run out of some stuff. We made it work, just sub out a few things. We will be back & I totally recommend you check this place out. read more

Some of the most amazing food I've ever had! Good prices good service. Will definitely be back!

First off, the place is beautiful, but the seating is very limited. We were asked immediately if we had a reservation. We did not, but there was room at the spacious bar, so we sat there perfectly satisfied. We had searched on Yelp for a good hamburger and Fort Redemption came up high on the list so we of course ordered their cheeseburgers and a couple of margaritas. The margaritas came to us quickly and were just okay, maybe on the sweet side and served in martini glasses. We waited over 30 minutes for our burgers, which were really nothing special especially for $18.! We did see some beautiful cuts of meat going to other tables, so maybe this just really isn't a place for burgers, but a great place for steaks? The short of it is, don't come here for margaritas or burgers. Yelp is a bit misleading on that. We prefer Tommy's for burgers. Rating 2 stars. Not a good value. Very slow service. Mediocre food and drinks. Many better choices to be had- * side note (doesn't affect this rating). There was a fire with 2 fire trucks and a dozen or so firemen at the pizza place in this strip mall setting and we couldn't leave the parking lot. read more

Fort Redemption is a simple menu that focuses on doing the basics well. This place is new only opening 4 months ago. We decided to try it for lunch and we were not disappointed. Our waitress was very polite and knew the menu well. I tried the Breakfast Burger and the regular burger. Both burgers were seasoned perfectly and both were incredibly juicy. The potatoes au gratin were creamy and very tasty. For dessert I tried the Banana Pudding which was the biggest surprise of the afternoon. This was layered very well and so far the best version of a banana pudding I've found in Fort Worth. They do have some things to iron out as far as a more user friendly reservation system because right now it's only by phone. But hey they are new and will figure it out. read more

We were excited to try Fort Redemption during our visit to Fort Worth! If you're looking for a good steak, this is your place! Ours was cooked perfectly rare! The sides were fresh and you can tell that thought and passion go into everything that comes out of the kitchen here! Our waitress was fantastic and informative! My favorite part though, is how involved the owner and chef is. He came out to make sure we enjoyed our meal, walked around and chatted with everyone and makes everyone feel like they're family. This is the kind of local place that if we lived close, we'd be at once a week. Not just for the incredible food, but because everyone there is fun to be around. We will be back next time we are in town! read more

Fantastic! While in town, we checked out this gem, and we are so glad that we did. The price is great, for the quality and quantity that is served here. The food is top-notch. The ribeye with bourbon cream sauce was tender and flavorful. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The au gratin potatoes are to die for. Great shishito peppers; wonderful banana pudding (made with perfect bananas, not overly ripe ones)! The service was impeccable. Jeremy was attentive and had great recommendations. He also served up wonderful cocktails- even one that he created himself. The ambience is very nice. Though it is in a shopping strip, don't let that fool you. The restaurant is decorated in a classy way and has a nice vibe. read more

Thanks, Yelp, for yet another hidden gem - and this one only open for a short three months. Based on our visit, Fort Redemption is doing a lot of things right. They offer a small menu but don't let that discourage you. Every last thing we ate was spectacular: cooked to order, seasoned well, full of flavor and left us wanting more. I rarely say "every last thing" was great. We were impressed. Drinks: I asked for a margarita even though it wasn't in their menu. She made it like she absolutely made it everyday. It wasn't too limey and really well balanced. My guy ordered an Old Fashioned - spot on. Food: He opted for the rib eye and I chose the beef tenderloin. We shared brussels and saved room for their banana pudding (thanks, Yelp - you were right!). Sitting at the bar gave us a better vantage point into the kitchen. It's always cool to see all the attention and love given to a great meal, right before it's delivered to you. Chef Troy came out a little while later and chatted with us. This has been a labor of love. Sending our best wishes for continued success. If your meal is anything like ours was, Fort Redemption will be around for years to come! read more

Fort Redemption - Had the best burger of my life at Fort Redemption. 10 out of 10 burger! The potatoes au gratin was also amazing! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

A very pleasant atmosphere. We were able to be seated without a reservation and had a table of four. We really enjoyed our waiter and appreciated. The nice bartender service was impeccable. Food was amazing. Great specials, amazing burgers and good salads. We will be back! Highly recommend reservations. Fort Redemption is no longer a secret! read more

The food is excellent in taste and pricing. The menu is not overpowering with options but just enough for you to make a good selection. The drinks are 12/10!!! Don't sleep on this place. read more

The server Chloe was very good. We greeted Tony when we arrived, as we have been frequent customers. We were specific in how we wanted our Ribeye and Salmon cooked, but both were under cooked. When we asked for it to be corrected, we received different service and felt dismissed. We declined the salmon, yet were charged for the side. Tony never came by to check again, even though he visited others. Sad. We probably won't return. read more

Wonderful food great speedy service Chloe was a delight made my night and had me rolling.

We went for my husband's birthday last night & this place did not disappoint. Perfect steaks, cheeseboard was great to share between 4, dessert was amazing, service was excellent, perfect environment!. We will definitely be back! read more

Holy cow! Fine-dining quality food at casual prices. The rack of lamb was spectacular! Make sure you get the red wine demiglace. The burger is simple, yet somehow amazing. The sides were excellent as well. If we had been in a slightly more elegant place and paid $200+ for our meal, I would not have been disappointed. But it was way, way less than that. Go here and eat. Like now. Seriously. read more

After having outstanding ribeyes, we had to come back to try the other options. This time we had the rack of lamb (which I'm told was delicious) and a cheeseburger. Since the place that makes the best burger ever (11/10) shut down, I've been trying to find a new best... and this is definitely the new best. I had mine with bacon and caramelized onions and no lettuce or tomato, letting the thick, juicy beef do the talking. It was outstanding: good beef, expertly seasoned and cooked. The bun did its job, although I'd rather have had a brioche bun as they tend to stay intact a little longer. That's a quibble, though; I'd have this burger anytime. The hardest part is choosing between it and the ribeye! Fort Redemption is definitely my new favorite restaurant. read more

This has been a great find in recent months, very thoughtful and energetic staff from the front to the back. We've enjoyed their dinner menu and brunch having a couple excellently prepared steaks and sides; and assortment of breakfast and fantastic desserts. Though the seem to run short on one of the options the two times I've visited. read more

Addendum (December 10, 2025): Just had to swing back to Fort Redemption for their unbeatable $10 hamburger special, and wow--it exceeded my already high expectations. We're talking a thick, juicy beef patty grilled to perfection with that ideal char, topped with fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, melty cheese, and a tangy house made chipotle mayonnaise that ties it all together on a soft, toasty bun. Add a side of creamy jalapeño Mac and cheese and it seals the deal; it's hearty, flavorful, and represents an incredible value in today's economy. No skimping on quality or quantity here--pure comfort food bliss for just ten dollars. But what truly elevated the experience was the outstanding service we received from Chloe. From the moment we sat down, she was the epitome of hospitality: warm and welcoming with a genuine smile, spot-on recommendations (she nailed suggesting the special), and lightning-fast with drink refills and check-ins without ever being intrusive. Chloe anticipated our needs like a pro, turning a simple meal into something special and memorable. She's a true gem--professional, personable, just a little quirky and clearly passionate about her job. Fort Redemption, you've got a star in Chloe! We will definitely be back! Highly recommend this spot for the fantastic food and the five-star service. read more

Good food, NOT kid friendly. We came after the rodeo with some friends. Menu was very limited for brunch, but again it was tasty. The server was not the best, seemed annoyed that we brought a kid. There's no high chairs available and no changing tables in the restrooms. read more

Chef Tony has passion and talent for taking French techniques like sauces and infusing them into Texan fare like cheeseburgers and steaks with gourmet sauces such as bourbon-cream. I keep record of phenomenal burgers where the patty flavor hits! This Redemption Cheeseburger is a huge burger with 1/2 a pound of beefy deliciousness! It clearly demonstrates a mastery of the culinary craft powered by passion. The same can be said about his banana pudding. Easily the best that I have ever had. I could go on like this about the brisket, tacos and sauces. I think you get the trend. The vibes are chill & the service is on point. I feel like I was lucky to be invited in before this place blows up and reservations have to made 2-3 months out. read more

I have never been disappointed with this place. My husband and I happened upon Fort Redemption on a Sunday night after a long event weekend, and it was legitimately exactly what I needed. Atmosphere is inviting. Staff is down to earth and honest. Owner and his family are kind. Food is fantastic... uncomplicated menu with the best options at great prices. I still look forward to going with my husband to this spot on a date night. We have been back numerous times since our first Sunday date night and EVERY TIME they bring consistency of high quality to the table. read more

Wow, what an incredible dinner I just had. Hands-down one of the best 16 ounce ribeye steak I've ever had. Incredible mashed potatoes underneath and followed this with the best banana pudding ever!

Excited to come back to try the lunch menu and will be back many more times for dinner and dessert. read more

Visiting from out of town, we found this place on Yelp near to a doctor appointment and feel like we hit the jackpot! Chef Troy and hostess/server Alanna made our lunch special with their great service and enthusiasm. Although the food is a winner all on its own, hearing the story of how they and Chef Tony welded the tables, built the partitions and literally put this place together from scratch was amazing. The stylish decor makes the meal feel special even when having a casual lunch. We started with an excellent espresso martini. The brisket jalapeño mac and cheese was SO good! The salmon and asparagus was cooked perfectly. The bourbon cream sauce is so tasty. And the creme brûlée and the banana pudding are must orders! I only wish I lived here to come more often. read more

Went here for Valentine's dinner. Three of us had the ribeyes, which were perfectly cooked and delicious. One had the lamb, also fantastic.

He crafted an awesome mocktail for my pregnant daughter. read more

I have loved the lamb chops at Fort Redemption and have gone to the restaurant quite a few times. The last two times the service was terribly slow, so bad it was embarrassing. It ruined the evening. I had taken guests and had to apologize for my choice of restaurants. Unless their understaffing is remedied, I'm not interested in going back-- and it's a shame. It could have been a favorite, but not the way things are now. read more

Everything was so good. Excellent service great food and better desserts. Great lunch specials too. You should run to try this great place

Much needed steak house in this area! Not a stuffy sort of place, not your typical big red booth steak house. Reasonable prices. Great cocktails, much appreciated these days when pours seem to get watered down more and more. Great service, very attentive. Steak was awesome, potatoes fantastic. Salad was fresh. Not a big menu, but enough. My only constructive criticism was on dessert. The take on "pumpkin pie" was a miss and the size of an oreo. But we did not come for dessert, and we left full. Please support this great little local steak house. Finding anything other than fast food in this area is tough and they deserve a try. Will be going back, maybe trying lunch next time. read more

The best and I mean the best ribeye, hamburger, and crème brûlée evah!!! Run don't walk and start with an espresso martini or lemon drop!
