Brittany A.

OUTSTANDING! Everything was perfect. Location, staff, food, drinks -all of it! Making reservations was a little easier than expected, for as good as this place is- we were shocked it wasn't busier! Right when you walk in there is a to go bar, which was cool. Host stand is cute, a small dining area downstairs and a ton of seating upstairs. The kitchen and bar area are really neat; both open on the main level. The dim lighting throughout made for a fantastic dinner experience. Beautiful decor, lighting and a good mix of tables and booths. HIGHLY recommend the homemade pork rinds! All of our food was perfectly prepared and delicious.

Fried green tomatoes

This place was really cool! The atmosphere is such a vibe and the decor is fun to look at. The server we had was such a gem of a human! She took great care of us and made sure to be attentive despite how busy they were. The fried green tomatoes were absolutely delicious! It was interesting because they do diced ham on them which I had never seen, but we loved it! Their old fashioned drinks are out of this world! It is a little pricey, but we expected that at the stockyards.

We went in for lunch on a Saturday and they were busy but since the restaurant is large they had us seated about 5 minutes after we arrived. I ordered a lemon drop martini to start with and it was well made. I ordered the Cobb salad. It was disappointing and had very little taste. The restaurant ambiance was rustic and upbeat. Our service was good and our waitress was very friendly. I ordered a frozen margarita to go and it was great; perfect for the 100 plus heat outside.

Came by here after watching the long horn cattle walk and grabbed a few appetizers. The fried green tomatoes were fantastic! They came with shredded ham but very subtle flavor. I loved them! Presentation was a bit dull but flavor exceptional My first time. Loved the tartness. The Paloma was deliciously tart as well! So good! The okra was incredible! Just loved it! Added some lime to the sauce for more flavor! Crispy okra We also enjoyed an NA Paloma minus agave. Loved the look of the upstairs seating and country music playing overhead.

Good place to stop in for a drink and good in the stockyards. I highly recommend the fried green tomato. The seasoning they used and fry was perfect. The old fashioned is also very good and they use a private stock makers mark or so they say. Either way though made for a really good old fashioned. Our waiter was great as well and brought the food and drinks out quick and hot/ cold

Really enjoyable time with a chill vibe while letting our feet rest from all the walking! The bartender made from great drinks, from old fashions to my amaretto whiskey sour and the corn bread was so flavorful. We split the steak frites and the chimi on it was the highlight, along with the fries. Appreciate the kitchen for splitting the meal for us! The steak was good but the center was pushing more rare than medium though didn't impact it enough to say anything since it still tasted great (it's just a texture thing for me). Would love to stop in next time we're visiting to try the fried green tomatoes lol!

Apologies for the poor quality photos, but an amazing time! Our waiter, Ethan, was so sweet. Made plenty of food suggestions, interchanged our utensils quietly without interrupting our conversations, and even had our meals come portioned for us - we shared two meals. We thought it was so thoughtful and meticulous. The steak frites (we swapped for mashed potato's to be gluten free) were delicious! The chimichurri sauce was amazing on this medium rare steak... so juicy yet so crispy on the outside. The grilled romaine heart salad had bacon, balsamic vinegar, avocado, chicken and pork on it.... GOSH amazing. Thoroughly impressed. 10/10 would go again.

We came to the stockyards for date night with no plan but lucked upon this spot. It was busy with an expected 60 minute wait but they hit us in within 20. We were sat upstairs in the mezzanine area which was pretty quiet and cozy. We started with the pimento cheese, which was good, it has a different flavor than I'm accustomed to but tasty nonetheless. For entrees I had the 16oz bone in ribeye and she had the chicken fried steak. My ribeye came with a side salad and mashed, hers with mashed and greens. Everything was delicious! The server was on top of his game. Kept the glasses full and checked on us without hovering. This is a cool spot, we will definitely be back...

Brought my out of town family here for a quick bite after seeing the cattle. This restaurant was super close by and the menu looked decent so we decided to give it a go. Our server was the sweetest; we sat up top in the restaurant. We really were there for appetizers and drinks. We went off our waitresses recommendations of the pork rinds and then ordered the fried green tomatoes and the deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were the best thing we ordered. They weren't special they were just better than the other two items. The fried green tomatoes were fried correctly but the remoulade was not remoulade I'm used to being from Louisiana. Just tasted like a dressing out a bottle that was not tasty. This dish is usually a simple delicious dish; I feel like they tried to fancy it up and it just didn't succeed. The pork rinds were unfortunately my least favorite. I love pork rinds... but I wasn't a fan of these. Maybe it was the tahin... but normally I love tahin. The drinks were fine just wasn't impressed with the food, atleast from the appetizer menu.

Wife and I ate here after the Christmas parade because every other place was very crowded. We were seated upstairs within a few minutes and our waitress came over immediately to take our drink orders. I ordered a cup of gumbo and it was really bad. The rice was under cooked and there was very little flavor. For entrée I ordered the Steak fritz. I ordered my steak medium and it came med rare and the chimichurri was really bland, it added nothing to the steak flavor. The price was very reasonable and the staggering was very good.

Stopped in on a Sunday event day and did not have a wait. The restaurant is very cute! Our waitress was very pleasant and the food was tasty! Service was slow though -- table check-ins had a good bit of time in between and we had one entree come out way before others which wasn't great.

Steak Frites. (Akaushi Flatiron, Chimichurri, French Fries $35).

Arrived in the evening for a reservation upstairs, which apparently closes for seating an hour before the business closes. My reservation was set via the Resy app which didn't note the rule. Disappointing since other reviews mention upstairs to be the prime real estate. The steak was good, the chimichurri was phenomenal and fries were yummy. The draft beer system (CO2 issue) was out of service for the evening so the waiter kindly offered anything in bottles/cans as to not disappoint with a poorly poured draft. The waiter was very friendly and receptive. Between the reserved space not being honored and instead being stashed in the cozy corner (to the right after entering), a couple forgotten requests by the waiter, slow food delivery for a nearly empty seeming establishment with plenty of reservation availability, and limited beer options outside of the few draft options; wouldn't return.

This was our first hanging out in the Fort Worth Stockyards and we came here to celebrate my kid's 15th birthday. We made reservations at the Provender Hall. It was very easy to make reservations on their website and they even send a reminder email. Free parking is very limited in this area but they have plenty of paid parking. You can pay to park until 2am or overnight. It was an easy walk and there are a lot of restaurants and stores in the facility. We got to the restaurant a little early but we were still seated almost immediately. There is seating upstairs and downstairs. We chose upstairs but learned later they only have bathrooms downstairs. It is a cute vibe, western feel. Our waitress was Fernanda. She was friendly and answered our questions about the menu. I feel like she had a large section to work because for a few requests we had to ask twice. We chose two appetizers, deviled eggs and pork rinds. For our entrees we got the chopped beef sandwich, the turkey club sandwich and the grilled trout with hoppin jack. I also got an adult beverage the spiced pear old fashioned. The deviled eggs were good and I appreciated they were made without meat. My husband loved the pork rinds he thought they were flavored really well. My kid liked her sandwich especially the bacon, my husband thought the chopped beef was just ok, he said it was dry. My trout was cooked perfectly but the plating was not ideal. They had the rice in the middle of the trout and the black eyed peas were underneath. Also the black eyed peas seemed really small but it was good. I would definitely get it again. My drink was amazing, it didn't have a cherry but a sliver of pear. For my daughter's birthday they bought out a piece of chocolate cake with a candle. Overall we enjoyed our experience and would come back if we are in the stockyards.

Is there a happy hour? if so what are the details- what are the days and times?

There is one! The limited food menu didn't seem less expensive, but the (few HH) cocktails are several dollars off. Excellent meal and drinks though! You can see the current HH details on the Provender website on the menu page.

Are the menu options the same for dinner and lunch?

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.

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.

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!

Weird combination, I know , but it was my cheat day! My granddaughter had chicken and waffles, and my daughter had beef tips and rice. Yes, I tasted everybody's food and everything was delicious! I'm giving 4 stars because the service needs a little more organization and training. When we walked in, my daughter asked a petite young lady how long the wait would be, and unfortunately, her response came across as unprofessional with a bit of an attitude. Even while taking our order, some of her responses didn't reflect a team-oriented attitude. When one person looks good, the whole team looks good--and when one person doesn't, it reflects on everyone. I don't hold that against the young lady; in my opinion, she simply needs more training and guidance for her role. One of Ms. Nana's friends even got up in her church clothes to help sweep.

I came here today a little after 5pm and did not get a greeting like everyone else did when I walked into the door. They were pretty busy with to go orders around this time. There is an entrance area where you order and pay for your food and a separate area for dining in. I ordered a catfish fillet with Mac n cheese and sweet potatoes and fried shrimp basket with fries and greens to go. I ordered at 5:15 and got my food at 5:45 and let me tell you, it was the longest wait of my life. I think the A/C must've been broken because it was hot in the waiting area and it didn't help that one of the front desk girls kept complaining about them still being open for another hour. There were a bunch of flies everywhere and the front area doesn't seem to be cleaned throughout the day. I also feel for the woman who puts the plates together because she's doing it by herself and was constantly asking the front desk girls to bag the orders. She stayed calm though and still greeted people as they were coming in. Now for the food. The shrimp basket was $25.99 and the catfish was $19.99. The shrimp was good, kids approved. The catfish was good too. All the food was made fresh to order so I can appreciate that for quality. Onto the sides. I think the French fries were accidentally season with sugar instead of salt. The greens were ok, just drenched with garlic. The Mac n cheese, ehhh. I was looking forward to the Mac n cheese but it wasn't as cheesy as I was expecting but tasted ok. The sweet potatoes were really good, probably my favorite side out of the four. The cornbread was moist and good. Overall, food was good but definitely overpriced. However, I do support small businesses but still think it's a bit overpriced based on portion size. They do require you pay for your food before you sit down if you are dining in. This may be because of too many incidents where people dine and dash. I do think that the lady behind the counter putting the plates together needs better help. No offense to the young girls they have working there but either train them or get someone who can actually do the job. If you are looking for true southern food, this ain't it. Texas food vs. southern food are 2 completely different things which I am learning the hard way now having lived here for a year.

I am originally from the Arlington/Grand Prairie area, a bit of a melting pot, so I rarely experience being the only Black person in the room. Upon entering, I instantly felt a bit uncomfortable. Nonetheless we were seated at a corner booth right next to a group of four. Although I felt uncomfortable, I could see that my best friend (white) still wanted to dine there, even after I pointed out that we weren't in the most formal attire (among other reasons). I decided to suck up my grievances and give the food a try. Don't get me wrong, the meal was great, if I looked past the slight fear of something in it. I applaud the waiter for giving us the best service, he did a great job. Now, here's the kicker. As we were eating our food, two older white ladies arrive, and they are seated right next to us, right next to me. One of the ladies goes back and forth with the hostess about the location of the seating. I didn't want to be nosy, so I wasn't exactly listening to their dialogue. Eventually, instead of right next to me, they were seated at a different table, and served. The next group of people, white as well, were then seated a couple of seats away from us. This is all really just speculation. As we left the restaurant, I saw two Black people. A runner, and a patron. Both lighter than a paper bag. Overall the waiter and the food were both exceptionally excellent, however, I do not see myself coming back in the near future.

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.

Good food and welcoming customer service both matter, and unfortunately, neither met my expectations today.
