Upon entering, there was a funny smell in here. I'm not sure what it was, but I didn't like it -- kind of smelled like a rotten drain or something. Not exactly the first impression you want from a restaurant. Overall, the service was WAY too fast for a Saturday night. We actually got our entrees before our drinks arrived. And I noticed the kitchen was all women, so leave it to the gals to be extra organized and on top of their game. But seriously, gals... try a little less hard! We'd like to enjoy our drinks before dinner arrives. We split the tomato basil soup (good - a little thick) and the French dip, which was incredibly tender -- basically fall-apart tender. Very tasty and VERY cheesy. My only suggestions would be a sturdier roll (it couldn't quite hold up to all that tender beef) and a little more bite to the horseradish dipping sauce. The happy hour is definitely worth mentioning. Great selection and really good prices if you get there before 6pm. And the bathrooms were actually nice, which always deserves a shout-out in a restaurant review! Overall, some good food and a great happy hour, with a few things that could use tweaking. read more

We stopped in for drinks and appetizers at a conference mixer. Sat at the bar and had excellent service. The slider and meatball appetizers were good. I enjoyed my flights of scotch and bourbon. Thought the Oban 14 was smoother than the McAllen 12 scotch. My wife enjoyed her shrimp and grits and rated it a 9/10. Fun, casual setting. read more

Sometimes the best meals are the ones you stumble into. We wandered into Little Red Wasp on Main Street, lured in by a lively crowd and a menu that split the difference between brunch and lunch. A promising sign on both counts. We opened with a cocktail from the bar, which set a high bar for what followed -- unfortunately, not everything cleared it. The Deviled Eggs with Spicy Best Maid Pickles arrived looking the part, four to an order, but tasted like they'd forgotten to show up to their own party. Bland, flat, and in desperate need of seasoning, we reached for the salt shaker, which helped, but shouldn't have been necessary. The pickles, to their credit, were doing their absolute best and were genuinely the only flavor happening on that plate. Skip these. The pickles deserve better supporting cast. The Cheeseburger with Wasp Sauce on a potato bun, however, is a different story entirely. We ordered it medium, half expecting the kitchen to interpret that however it pleased, but it arrived cooked exactly as requested, which felt like a small victory worth celebrating. The Wasp Sauce is a mystery worth solving, and the house-made chips that come alongside are fresh, crisp, and dangerously snackable. Pro tip: order a side of ranch for dipping. You're welcome. We also added a side of fries, which were equally excellent. No notes. Little Red Wasp has real charm, great energy, a fun bar, and a cheeseburger worth crossing Main Street for. Just steer clear of the deviled eggs and order the chips with abandon. read more

One of the best happy hours I have been to!! $6 gimlet, you can't beat it! The ranch dip with homemade potato chips was a great portion size for the price, highly recommend. The chicken sandwich was crisp and fresh and the slaw complements the sandwich with a hint of spice. We subbed the chips for fries and they were great steak fries. The bread pudding was fabulous as well, another great portion size. The chocolate chips on top are a great addition. The restaurant is cute and swanky and the service was on par. read more

I understand that' times are tough and inflation is real but do everyone a favor and either cut your salad prices in half or add some substance. This place has the most overpriced salad I've ever eaten in my life. Lettuce is not THAT expensive. It was decent on flavor but 80 bucks for two people to barely eat is ridiculous. read more

Brunch is a must here at Little Red Wasp. Located in the Sundance Square of downtown, this spot is a bit of a diner slash cafe slash quirky spins on everyday favorites type of place. There's also a full bar with lots of signature creative cocktails. Like I said, this place can offer some serious brunch vibes, as well as a laid-back lunch or fun date spot. read more

I almost never give reviews that are this slow, but we were here for the sweet 16 staying at the hotel across the street and this place looked really cute so we stopped in immediately upon walking in the front door. We were assaulted by garbage stink and it looked like there was some sort of mechanism to maybe take the garbage down but it's right inside the front door and it smelled horrible. Then we sat down to eat food and it was less than desirable everything kind of had a weird kick to it like the meatballs had a ton of fennel in them and that's all you could taste. I was just completely underwhelmed by all of the food. I will say the service was great, but we felt like we had wasted our money. I'd find somewhere else downtown to eat. read more

Second visit in the last 6 months and had an even worse experience than my first trip. First of all, this place smells like sewage is leaking. It smells so bad no matter where you sit, something is very wrong. Second the $17 cheeseburger was just plain bad, it looked like a frozen patty about 1/4lb and was only served with chips. Third, we arrived at 5:35 and the waitress told us happy hour just ended so I thought oh it must have ended at 5:30. No big deal, open the menu and it said Happy Hour till 6pm! Asked the waitress she said, I did not know what time it was. Just skip this place completely. Side note, another group of 4 came in and sat in the booth in front of us, they couldn't handle the smell and left after getting water. read more

The ambiance is nice and cozy. I ordered a blood red margarita. Although it wasn't blood red, it was ah-mazing! I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and I was in heaven. My husband ordered the fish and chips and I was jealous because that was really good too. Our waitress was always checking in without being overly annoying. The place is on the pricey side but so worth it! Definitely perfect for much needed date nights. (Also, soda is by the bottle. No free refills, but my husband and I enjoyed our cocktails read more

Will return for good service and foood. High ceiling, brick walls, booths and tables. The only down side is - two tv monitors are bid small but again, this isn't a sports bar and my aging eyes are on the decline. Wait time was minimal. Server did an excellent job answering questions and guiding our dining choices. Service was prompt with food pleasantly presented and still warm. Might try something else on another trip. read more

Will return for good service and foood. High ceiling, brick walls, booths and tables. They were willing to change one tv to French Open tennis - thank you very much. The only down side is - two tv monitors are bid small but again, this isn't a sports bar and my aging eyes are on the decline. We've Kale salad and Ruben - both are good. Getting there at the tight time, it was only half full. By the time we almost done, it became full: the convention attendees are pouring in for their lunch. We would sit a little longer to watch Joao Fonesca's defeat of Pierre-Hugues Herbert, but when the girl came by, asking if we need anything, we asked for the bill. She said ok and then proceeded to take the cream and sugar away. The manager (?) told her not to do it quietly and she put them back - I appreciated this kind gesture - thank you. read more

Super cute place within walking distance from just about anywhere downtown. I had a tight meeting scheduled so I ordered their lunch Cobb to go from the bar. The bartender that took my order was very nice and the meal was prepared and packaged in about five minutes. When I got it back to my room, it was quite delicious. I look forward to dining in during a future visit to Fort Worth. read more

Though I wouldn't recommend the business, I will say the food was not bad. I had the reuben but make no mistake, it wasn't a traditional reuben, or even close. Maybe two ingredients were reuben ingredients but the rest was the restaurant's interpretation. That being said, the sandwich wasn't bad; it's just more than I would like to pay for a flaired-up corned beef sandwich. There was ample meat, no concerns there. As for service, our server was great. The guy that seated us was the furthest thing from pleasant. He was so off putting that if I wasn't with a group, I'd consider leaving, which I never do. I wouldn't go back - not because of the greeter but he was certainly part of it. If you're hungry and don't want to go far from the hotel you're staying in, this place would suffice, but I absolutely wouldn't purposely seek it out. read more

Food was fine. Nothing spectacular but not bad. Service was really bad in a bizarre way. Upon entering, we got a gluten-free menu for my cousin who has a severe gluten allergy. When she ordered off the menu, the waiter seemed dumbfounded and stuttered "uhhhhh" saying he had never seen that menu before and was very confused with her trying to order off of it. He kept telling her things weren't available, even though they were listed on the gluten-free menu because he was not familiar with what they offered. Very disconcerting for someone with an allergy when the waiter seems to not understand what is offered. I asked for boxes saying I would be taking my meal and the appetizers. While I was boxing up our food, he took away one of the appetizers. When I mentioned that I had wanted to box that up, he said "uuuhhhhhhhh, oh I thought that if you wanted that surely you would've boxed it up by now." My cousin ordered appetizers for the table. He split the appetizers three ways. Putting an equal portion on each check. My cousin had ordered the appetizers and wanted to treat us. She did not notice that he charged every other party for the appetizer. We had already paid and she was so embarrassed he charged us for her order. With my meal, 1/3 of two app, and a 20% tip my bill was $42 for a basic meal with terrible service. read more

When I walked in I stood at the host stand for 10 minutes before someone finally came up to me to say "someone will be right with you" Three minutes later I finally got seated... (FYI there were multiple tables wide open) Next I sat at my table for 15 minutes before a different person said "I will be right back to serve you." 5 minutes later they finally came back to take my order. Meanwhile the table behind me got seated and immediately had a server and ordered. Not a great start for me. I ordered the French Dip. It was just ok. I would give this a higher rating if the service OR the food were better but the service was not good and the food was just meh. read more

Perfect spot to grab a bite before a show at the Bass Hall. Stat is friendly and helpful.

They have the best brussels sprouts I've ever eaten love it! I definitely recommend the drinks are cute. The flies are bad though. That's the only thing I don't like sorry. read more

Had a few hours to kill between dropping off the car and grabbing our train to Austin, so decided to explore the area. Little Red Wasp caught our attention right out the gate with its stylish facade and sidewalk seating, so we decided to grab lunch. Service was friendly from the moment we walked in. We were seated quickly and when we asked about nonalcoholic beer, were very impressed that they had a number of options to choose from! The menu isn't huge, but it's surprisingly thorough with something for just about anyone. My husband was craving something fried; meanwhile I was feeling a unique salad. Lo and behold, we found both and they were excellent. For being right in downtown Fort Worth near the convention center, you really can't beat the location, not to mention the price, service and quality. read more

Honestly don't understand how this restaurant has 4 stars. Our group made reservations at LRW since it is close to the convention center where we were attending an event. The fish and chips were dry and fried unevenly. At least the fries were decent. Definitely not worth the $31 price tag. Have you ever seen an anemic chicken fried chicken? That's what we were served. The fry on the chicken was so pale, and the mashed potatoes with gravy taste was bland. The Brussels sprouts tasted like they were microwaved, not freshly roasted. They weren't crispy at all and were soaking in liquid in the bowl. The spaghetti meatballs taste like cheap freezer meatballs that you get from a grocery store. I think this restaurant survives alone on hotel guests and convention center attendees. Overpriced and underwhelming. At least the service was fine. read more

So decided to do a follow up on this place. Had the shrimp roll, the green eggs and ham and the bread pudding. Service was first class and love the ambiance there. It was a low key Sunday for us. Green Eggs and Ham had an amazing flavor that was balanced well with the cheese and the avocado. The Shrimp Roll was VERY fresh and very good flavor. The Bread Pudding was very good and the pecans in the bourbon caramel sauce was very good. read more

The smell in that restaurant is absolutely disgusting. It smells like sewage when you walk in the front door and it's been like this for over two years. This spot is in a great location and the food is honestly not that bad, but we stopped eating there because of the smell. When asking the staff...they blame it on plumbing below the building and say there's nothing they can do which in my mind is unacceptable. The first couple years that this restaurant opened the smell was fine, and now it's bad. Someone needs to take ownership and fix it! read more

Just a heads up, their French toast is fried (: not sure I was expecting that? I had a great time! read more

First off, I want to say we went here several years ago and it was great, hence why we returned. That food was no longer available, so we went with different options. We got a side salad with chicken that was $22. OUCH. It was so small! And we got a burger for $17 and the bun was bigger than the meat. What a disappointment as the meat looked like it belonged on a kids meal or from McDonalds, again for $17! What a joke read more

The food was good. The service was good. The way they seated us was terrible. They put our four top right next to a party of 30 people when there were other tables in the main dining area available. As a result. It was very noisy and I would have enjoyed my meal much better had that not been the case. read more

Can't say much about the vibe of this place since we ordered for takeout. We found this place through google maps and it was literally right by our hotel, so my husband went and picked it up. We ordered a few things: - Deviled Eggs: good, they did not skimp out on the filling. - Donut Holes: a nice little sweet treat after our meal. -Reuben: my husband said it was good. -Salmon & Lox Bagel: this was good too, but I've had better elsewhere. Overall, the food was good, we'll keep this restaurant in mind next time we're in town. read more

Upon arrival, there was a faint odor resembling old cleaning water. The vent near the host stand had condensation on it, and a water droplet fell on my head. This issue definitely needs to be addressed. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich for my meal which was tasty but definitely not worth the $19 price tag. The chicken was well-seasoned, and the slaw, sauce, and jalapeños made for a great combination. The meal comes with house-made chips, which were just okay. We initially got an old batch that wasn't crunchy, but our waitress noticed this on her own and promptly brought us a fresh batch straight from the fryer. While I enjoyed my meal it's nothing that I plan to return to order again. read more

They were not busy but they kept using that excuse when we had to wait for server to bring ketchup and then water, etc. First server knew what cider was and what the restaurant had.

Walked after reading good reviews but had a terrible experience. Our party of 3 was met with a questionable welcome, a timid server, and a fishy smelling, humid room. The virgin pina colada would've been a wonderful start to the meal but 5 pm on a Friday they were out of the mix . We should've left then! Room temperature soda bottles and glasses of water. Rueben sandwich was okay, a bit bland. Chips were crispy but tasted of oil from frying. I had hoped it would be a fun place but it must've been too early. I don't think I'd even give it another try. read more
