Yum Yummy yum!! The staff is all smiles here and very helpful in guiding me to vegan options . I went with the daily greens smoothie and power salad (note the crouton toast does have butter ). Everything was delicious and is absolutely come back !

This was my second time at the local foods kitchen. My mom was with me both times. This place is always packed for breakfast and brunch, it seems to slow down around 130 or 2 PM. There was always a crowd here, but there is a pretty quick turnaround. It's loud so you do have to speak up to hear each other. My mom and I both had combo number one which is a half a sandwich with the soup of the day. Today they had tomato soup and chili. My mom had half a turkey sandwich with tomato soup and I had half of a chicken Panini with a bowl of chili.! The service was quick and the food was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back to try other items.

Food here tasted fresh and there was a wide variety of options. The staff were all very friendly and the service was fast. Place was clean and I liked that they had a variety of indoor and outdoor seating. I do think this place is not budget friendly being a little expensive in my opinion.

Great find in Ft Worth near TCU!!! Awesome quality food with healthy food options for every palate. I highly recommend the chicken cesar wrap and Albacore tuna sandwich along with the kale salad with a ginger lemonade refresher. A must try

It had been a hot minute but... I went back! And, it still is all the buzz in the community. They have soup, sandwiches, salads and pre-made pick me ups. I recently met a friend for lunch where I tried their Caesar Salad and fresh Strawberry Limeade. Both, were delicious!! So delicious that I actually craved a pick up order the next day where I ordered a Chicken Panini sandwich. If dining in, you can snag a table inside or outside. There's lots of seating options. Either way, you'll have great service and great food! Will I be going back? Clearly, yes. ;D

Blum's Crunch Cake

Dined here for lunch and I have to say the food was exceptional. It gets pretty packed and you get nervous. You're not gonna get a table, but it always works out perfectly. We had the Kebab Cobb as our entrees but we tore into them so quick I didn't get any photos of those. The thing that you absolutely cannot miss at this place is the Blum's Crunch Cake!

My favorite go to spot in Fort Worth. Breakfast, lunch or an early dinner you can't go wrong. Fresh and locally sourced ingredients make for a delicious meal. Eat in or takeout. They have a wonderful counter service. Staff is friendly, helpful and efficient. It's is cozy, quaint & s great place to visit over a meal. Parking and seating can be a challenge during busy times, but don't let it deter you. The meal will be worth it. Always be prepared to take a cookie or dessert to go. Yne pastry cabinets are so tempting. You won't be disappointed. Today we popped in for brunch before a football game at TCU. We shared an omelette. It was full of meat and fluffy. Just the way we like our omelettes. We had grilled sourdough bread and potatoes as sides. Absolutely loved the grilled sourdough with the homemade blackberry and strawberry jams. Delectable and just the right mix. Enjoy this locally owned eatery. They are fantastic for catering, too.

Chicken Caesar wrap

Want a southern Louisiana breakfast in Fort Worth? Check out Fixe Southern House in ClearFork…read more Sunday brunch was so nice. Went for the biscuits, but our very wise waitress, Adriana, warned us that the biscuits were made with lard. Well that knocked out a bunch or breakfast options. She was so sweet and actually went to the kitchen and marked the menu pointing out lard-free menu choices. On the menu. Using black ink dots. Above and beyond. So we regrouped our breakfast plans and went mainly vegetarian. The Herbivore was absolutely delicious! Antebellum cheese grits topped with garlicky kale, romanesco and a soft boiled egg. We added a second egg. Split with my hubby. So good!! My sister-in-law had the brioche French toast. French toast topped with honey better, fresh berries and pecan granola. Served with maple syrup. Amazing! Added the duck fat breakfast potatoes. Who knew that the flavor would be so enhanced with the onions, peppers and duck fat. Get this side! Not a coffee drinker, but my hubby really enjoyed the coffee that is sourced from Cusco, Peru. Adriana made sure that the cups were always full and hot. Thank you for the VIP service at Fixe Southern House. Resident discount applied. Born from Opelousas, Louisiana, breakfast served with a huge helping of southern hospitality.

We started with the biscuits and cinnamon roll. I would recommend both. The biscuits came with a jam, honey and whipped butter. The cinnamon roll, which may look a bit underwhelming had a such a great crispy texture on the outside while still being fluffy on the inside. The icing wasn't too sweet and complimented the roll nicely. For the table, we had the pollo frito biscuit w/duck fat potatoes, Brisket Benedict w/okra and the Fixe Breakfast entree w/maple sausage and potatoes. 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.

The food is thoughtfully curated for variety on the menus, the atmosphere is subdued and comfortable, and the service is on pace with whatever timeline you need or want them to be if you let them know. In a time where those things no longer seem to be a given, it's a refreshing delight! At this point, I've tried about everything on the menu. For lunch, the tuna salad is my favorite but you honestly can't go wrong on this menu made to enhance the fresh, natural taste of the foods on it. You can also get steak at lunch even though it is not on the menu... just ask. The owner personally shops daily to ensure whatever you order is fresh, and the meats are sourced from Tarleton in Stephenville so you are supporting local ranchers in addition to knowing its origins. On the appetizers, the shishito peppers fresh bought fresh locally are a great option. The dinner menu is equally as delightfully hard to go wrong, with one addition I wish they would add to the menu, but you can still always get... Tuna Steak. Any other place who has this in the area does it in ways that are either coated with sesame seeds/oil or is not fresh to the point you can smell it (fish that smells fishy is not fresh!). I love the tuna steak with a side of the sautéed mushrooms, and a starter of the homemade Caesar salad (made without mayonnaise, using fresh ingredients). With fewer and fewer places offering things that are healthy, it is a great place to get incredible food, at an incomparable price for what your money, without having to stray from a heart healthy, food allergy, or other restricting diet (be sure you let them know if you need adjustments for allergies or health reasons). I appreciate that foods made with butter can be adjusted to olive oil, my very restrictive allergies can be accommodated for, and the flavor does not suffer for doing so. Desserts & drinks are equally as memorable, and only make a wonderful meal that much more unforgettable. If you're looking for a great dining experience, without breaking your wallet compared to the same foods at other local establishments, this is the place! It is not kid friendly, which is welcomed to me because I want to enjoy a night or a lunch out without fuss. It is a quiet, relaxing atmosphere you can talk to people in without yelling at each other. If you want something different than the menu items, they will even make things like Beef Wellington or likely whatever your heart desires if you plan ahead and talk to the owner or GM. They also do catering for events and will customize a menu if you need or want it for your occasion. If you haven't tried Fort Redemption, you're missing out, and if you have then you already know! Support local, enjoy the freshness, share it with friends, and go back so we can support businesses that are locally owed who don't gouge you with their prices!!

Before choosing to dine here, I strongly suggest reading the owner's responses to negative reviews…read more They may tell you everything you need to know about how ownership views the customers supporting this business. Unfortunately, our experience firsthand only reinforced that impression. We were a party of six, four adults and two kids. They were clearly short staffed, with one person covering the entire floor and bar and the owner working in the kitchen. We completely understood that and were patient. After an extremely long wait, the kids' entree they were splitting came out last and was wrong. We asked for it to be remade, but they were so hungry from waiting that they ultimately ate the incorrect meal rather than continue waiting. After finishing, we waited more than 20 minutes just to pay and eventually had to take my card to the server. When the check came, we had been charged for BOTH the incorrect entree and the replacement. After pointing this out, we were told, "Don't worry about it, we'll fix it later." I asked that it be corrected before I paid. Another 15 minutes later, we received the corrected check and discovered an automatic gratuity had been added. I asked to speak with the owner and calmly explained that I understood they were short staffed. However, given the excessive wait, incorrect food, double charge, and overall experience, I was surprised by the automatic gratuity and that we were charged for the incorrect meal at all. His response was by far the worst part of the experience. He was dismissive and condescending, rolled his eyes while I was speaking, and showed absolutely no concern about our experience. At the end of our conversation, I told him that I thought speaking with him directly was the right thing to do rather than simply leaving a negative review. After his response, I told him I now planned to leave one. His response was: "Go for it. Go crazy with it." So, here it is. Mistakes happen. Restaurants get short staffed. Food comes out wrong. I can understand all of that. What I cannot understand is an owner treating a customer with such disregard after that customer made every effort to be patient and address the situation respectfully and directly. Customer service starts at the top, and unfortunately, this experience spoke volumes. We obviously will not be returning. And based on the dismissive and combative responses you've left to seemingly every other negative review, I fully expect your response to this one will only reinforce the point: when customers praise your business, their support is welcomed but, when they have a legitimate complaint, their experience is dismissed, argued with, or treated as though it simply doesn't matter. That is an incredibly unfortunate way to treat the very people whose money and support allow your business to exist in the first place.

It was seasoned perfectly - it obviously had been brined. Exactly the right amount of crust on the meat. It was some of the best fried chicken we have tasted since Allen's Fried Chicken in Sweetwater closed. The greens were perfectly cooked, as well - soft, but not overcooked into mush, and they had a great flavor. Only thing I didn't really like was the mac & cheese - it was a little bland. Good texture, but needed something. Mustard or worchester sauce, something like that to offset the cheese. Also liked the ambiance of the restaurant. It was just a little divey, in a good way. I can't stand restaurants that obviously were decorated by some corporate interior designer to not be offensive to anyone but at the same time project the corporate brand to the point they beat it into your head relentlessly. Drew's, on the other hand, feels like a neighborhood bar, only with soul food instead of beer. And while I've read that some folks have been treated rudely, I had a great experience. The lady taking my order was nice to me, so I was nice right back to her. Maybe that's the secret to good customer service? Treat your server like a human being and they'll return the favor?

I was once a regular customer and have visited this restaurant many times in the past. Every now and then, I'll give it another try to see if things have improved, but unfortunately, today's experience was much like my previous ones. The food was disappointing as well. The meat was very bland, and some of my favorite items from previous visits were not available. I understand that restaurants can change their menus or run out of certain items, but combined with the lack of flavor, it made the overall meal less enjoyable. What was even more disappointing, however, was the customer service. The woman who appeared to be part of the ownership was once again rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've had this type of interaction with her. I really wanted to be able to say that things had improved, but based on today's visit, I don't feel comfortable recommending this restaurant or returning anytime soon. Good food and welcoming customer service both matter, and unfortunately, neither met my expectations today.

They are located on a corner and parking is limited. I found street parking on the side street, about a block down in front of a house. We walked inside Gus's about 11:30 am on a Wednesday. They were busy' but had a number of open tables. There are mostly square and rectangular 4-top tables. We chose one by the front windows. A moment after we sat down, our server, Joe K came by to greet us and he took our drink order. Menu's are at the table, so we studied a bit and were ready for Joe when he brought our drinks. I ordered: - Unsweetened Iced Tea - 3 Piece Dark Chicken Plate (my choice: leg, leg, thigh) with Greens and BBQ Beans My wife ordered: 2 Piece White Chicken Plate (breast, wing) with Mac-Cheese and BBQ Beans The chicken was the star for sure. The BBQ Beans weren't special but were decent. The Greens, decent. With each meal plate, the chicken is served on a slice of white bread. The chicken was fried to a deep brown and was real tasty. My dark meat was juicy and tender. My wife's white meat was drier but normal for white meat. My wife's felt the chicken skin was maybe overcooked as it was tough. It was fine to me. I ate her skin :) We'll be back to Gus's!

Finallllllly! A soul food vegan eatery with mush mush flavor!…read more So, hubbs and I were hungry and decided to give Mush Flavor a try. Boy aren't I glad we did. For more details see below. The location: this location is a part of a ghost kitchen. It is located in the corner of a small parking lot. You'll see plenty of food delivery signs above a building...that's the building you want to order from. The interior was just a box room, with a couple of chairs and an Ipad to order from. The service: so, apparently there's normally a receptionist or a welcomer who greets you, but there was noone there the day that we visited. It left us kind of guessing. However, two of the owners came out and made sure they checked in on customers to make sure everyone was taken care of. That was nice. They kept up updated on our order and what was going on in the kitchen. I appreciated that service and updates. The food: the food was goodt! Okay, so the mac n cheese was good. So, I'm not a cheese person. However, their Mac n cheese could've have used some more cheese. Now the actually macaroni was cooked to perfection though. The macaroni really good. The overall, mac n cheese just could've have had a little bit more flavor/cheese. The chicken! OMG the chicken was everything. It had a very bold flavor of spices. The chicken was crispy enough, but not too crispy. It wasn't mushy but was firm. I wish I would've mixed my macaroni n cheese and my chicken together. However that chicken was gobbled up so fast. Overall, I wish the ghost kitchen was a little more welcoming. However the flavor was delicious and I'd definitely be back to try more menu items.

We were a little surprised at the concept of the space. You walk into a small area with seating and…read morethere's a giant iPad with several restaurants to choose from. So this place is a compilation of restaurants in one space that you can't see. There's just a receptionist desk to receive your order. It takes the personal aspect away it feels cold and soulless to just not talk to anyone but I guess that's the way the world is going. Some of the business owners did peek their heads out and greet us and they were nice but then went back to prepping and cooking their orders. There's no music or entertainment or anything just a waiting room with nothing in it but a bathroom. I get it you get the benefit of starting a restaurant without being in your house you have a nice clean place to cook and serve orders and your overhead is extremely low. It's a great start to businesses but it's very impersonal. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of Mac and cheese. I feel like this meal should not have been 30 bucks especially with the money that's saved from not having a stand alone restaurant with employees like cooks, hostess, bus boys and managers. My chicken was really good the seasoning was on point and delicious. The waffle was soggy and soft but I think a lot of people like their waffle that way I prefer a crispy waffle. I'm sure they could easily make it that way but you can't freaking talk to anyone to communicate that request, so you get whatever the computer tells you you can get. The Mac and cheese was ok it could have been cheesier and more creamy I added some non vegan ingredients to get it the way I like it but I have cooked vegan Mac and cheese dishes that had more of a consistency of vegan cheese and noodles. It's good has potential it just needs more love. It wasn't worth 5 bucks though since I had to add to it. So to be honest my 4 stars come from the fact that this is a good business with friendly service. It has great potential and I want to see them succeed since it's a BOB. As a whole I am not a fan of this order from an iPad then wait for your food and not talk to anyone concept. The concept gets 2 stars because it sucks.
