Philly cheesesteak and tots.
Shelly A.

This little spot drums up all kinds of nostalgia for its classic hole-in-the-wall vibes! It's apparent the business owners want to serve good food and have plenty of space to host their guests. The menu is full of options. This was my 2nd visit and I had a cheesesteak sandwich with tarter tots this time. The tots were nothing to write home about but I'd absolutely go back for another hot, yummy Philly with cheese and grilled onions, and try a different side. They've got tons to taste and TVs to watch some sports. Take the gang out and give them a shot.

The picture doesn't do it justice. The Philly was *chef's kiss*

The food, the service, and the space was great! this place has been on my list of places to check out for awhile and I'm SOOO glad I did. The zucchini fries were great and that's what brought me in, but the Philly cheesesteaks are why I will be going back! I split my 8" with my husband and he is now a fan. I had mine with onions, mushrooms, banana peppers, provolone and cheddar cheese.

Accidentally missed my turn to the pizza place and walked in here. Best mistake I've made in a long time.

No cheese whiz
Moriah G.

First negative review in all our visits! Phone order - pick up (Saturday at 12:30pm was not busy) As always we stopped in but this time we decided to pick up because kids. Husband's sandwich had no cheese whiz. Living 25+ mins away couldn't just go back. Again first negative interaction but may stick to dine in only for us.

1/2 Philly & 4 Wings & Loaded Tots
Bailey H.

The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful. The ambiance in the restaurant was very cool and kind of had a sports bar feel. The actual food kind of left me wanting more. Prices were a bit higher than expected and the menu was genuinely massive, intimidating and confusing. Everything is custom, there are no preselected toppings for anything which I don't typically enjoy. As someone who has no real Philly cheesesteak experience I truly have no idea what should or shouldn't go on the sandwich. This might be a positive for some but not for me. I would prefer a pre selected list of ingredients on the sandwich so I can see what the restaurant is going for. The steak meat was okay, not a lot of seasoning. Bread was cold and not toasted, not sure if thats normal. Wings and loaded tots were fine, nothing worth recommending. Perhaps I will try again in the future but this experience was disappointing.

Catfish Sandwich
Sutona S.

Ordered directly from Yelp. Took over an hour to arrive but it arrived warm and delicious so no complaints. Catfish was seasoned amazingly well and the burger was juicy! Next time, I'll prob go pick it up but if it was that good from a grub hub delivery you know it's bomb.

Philly cheesesteak and Chili Cheese Fries
Alizae L.

I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and some chili cheese fries. The fries were great but the Philly itself tasted a little off. Almost like the oil or grill wasn't freshly cleaned. I have not been back, but I really wanted to love this place. I might try again in the future.

Amazing mushroom cheeseburger
Syd G.

Our second time here and had to bump it up to five . Their customer service was stellar! The poor girl said she had call ins and was doing double duty at register and cooking. Still very friendly. We didn't even notice as our food still didn't take terribly long to get. Wow !!!! They nailed it. Those chili fries and tots were scrumptious. The burger was exceptional too. Even the bun was perfect. Not too thick and not too thin. The hamburger patties were cooked perfectly and a lot of flavor. Can't wait to come back again!

Marissa R.

Ordered take out .... This place is very good! I got a half Philly and wings so yummy ! Can't wait to go back. My wife got the burger, Tasted so good ! The chili fries are also very good. Service was good got my food pretty fast.

Not bad but- this place has a "but" and is 50/50 on my like / not so much tastebuds. It's a nice lunch spot that's spacious and clean on the inside. I liked my Philly with tasty meat but not the bread. I wish the bread was less ... bready, not in density just in the taste of too much white bread but again the meat was good. I also had the catfish special and I really enjoyed the light semi spicy beading and seasoning but not the fries. The fries were soft and didn't satisfy on this cold day, a few minutes in air or traditional fryer would do them good. The lady at the counter was fabulous and overall the customers were too. There were several regulars that were chatty and as nice as could be making this a very enjoyable lunch overall. Recommend a stop in if in the area and take advantage of the daily specials.

Half of my build your own.

This is a great local stop. Been here several times the past few years. I love the fried catfish. Super crispy and light batter. Just a great local spot decorated with different sports things. Employees are always friendly. Don't go for healthy food though The Philly sandwiches are great too.

The Shack Attack Burger
Lacretia M.

Craving an old fashioned hamburger, I found this dive by happenstance. The decor and scenery are welcoming - nothing too dull or over the top, and the service was top notch! As a first timer, the build-your-burger route was recommended. With varies ways to dress my burger, I wasn't disappointed. It was the right amount of options to choose from. When the basket came to the table, I was a bit intimidated. It's MASSIVE!!! However, I cut it down the middle and went to town. Each bite coupled with the seasoned fries was a treat! If you're in the DFW area, don't hesitate to give this spot a try! I'll definitely be back to try a Cheesesteak...I heard they're served the Philly way w/cheese whiz. Enjoy!

We wanted to sample a little extra and got the catfish platter with sweet potato fries too. WHEN I SAY SOOOO GOOOOOOD Ms. Charlotte helped serving to our table which was a really sweet touch. Everything came out piping hot and fresh. Philly cheesesteak? Phenomenal. Seasoned, tender, and had banana peppers cooked in which I LOVE. Sweet potato fries? Homemade, hot, fresh, crispy, and salted to perfection. Catfish? Fried perfectly. Not soft but not "hard" crunchy either. Paired with the homemade tartar is the bee's knees. Wings? Crispy, only downside, lots of mango, no, habanero. We stayed and chatted with Ms. Charlotte a while after and got some history on her husband, Dave, and the restaurant. We truly enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to be back!

It is totally an awesome day for Horizon 76, Independence Day, the 4th! Their namesake event,…read morecelebrated with incredibly great foods and beverages. So good! And great people to add to the service and ambiance. This time we had the (1) Texas Strip steak, amazing baked potato and veggies. And, (2) a beautiful brisket Enchilada plate with a queso sauce on one and a sour cream sauce on the other, with steamed veggies and wild rice. All so very good! Dessert: American hot apple pie and vanilla ice cream on a skillet, with some amazing sauce drizzled over table side. See the photos for that steamy concoction of flavor party! Love our visits to Horizon 76!

I was originally planning to go to another famous burger place in town, but this American food…read morerestaurant looked and sounded really good from the photos and menu and was close to my hotel. I visited during lunch so I took advantage of the lunch burger special for $3 off. Horizon 76 turned out to be good for another entree I was craving 2 days later, so I returned a 2nd time. They sat us in the same table unknowingly and I even sat in the same seat. We also had the same waiter and he of course remembered us and our drink order from last time. How's that for customer service? On my first visit I ordered a tea and original horizon burger and added a cup of chili, which isn't really listed on the menu but they can addit to your burger for a few dollars more. I had wanted to try the bone-in burger, but they don't offer it anymore. My friend who lives in Ft Worth had not heard of this place that opened around 2020, but then again he doesn't get out much. Burger - this is a very good burger and I would put it up against the best burgers in town. I don't live here, but I bet it would be in the top 3 for any burger enthusiast that likes thick burgers. The sweet sourdough bun really makes this taste even better, not to mention when you have steak blends in your patty, it elevates it quite a bit. Fries - I've had several duck fries around the country and these were not that good. Not much seasoning at all. Tasted like typical frozen breaded fries flash fried in duck fat. Side of chili - small amounts of anything are usually tasty, this chili is no exception. Filled with beans and comes in like a shot glass. They don't give you much as a side. I guess they prefer you to order the $16 chili entree. On my second visit, my buddy and I were craving a good chicken fried steak. We decided to visit here since you rarely see filet / tenderloin as the protein in CFS, plus knowing the burger was awesome, we figured the CFS was probably good too. For my sides, I chose grilled veggies and loaded baked potato. CFS - This was a good version but I didn't really like the breading due to its color and high flour content. I prefer a darker greasier one. The meat was what I came for mainly and it was really good tenderloin pounded pretty dang thin. Not overly breaded, surprisingly. The veggie medley is truly a mix of about 8 different veggies, which you rarely see. Most grilled veggie sides are 3-4 at most. Overall, my best friend was super impressed and now he wants to return to their BBQ restaurant next door. I was also impressed, but I would come back for a burger or another entree next time.

Always a great place to stop by, & get a burger at a decent price…read more The gluten free buns are what I have to go with these days, & that's my only fault with this place so far is that their gluten free bun, does not hold together well lol I just use a knife, & fork from now on. Still delicious Forgot to snap a pic of the burger The sweet Potato fries were delicious though. Almost a dessert with that honey on top haha Although it's included in the "gluten free menu," I don't think it's safe for people with true Celiac's, as the fries are most likely still fried in the same oil & other fried foods, battered in wheat. It affects me anytime I eat fries, & these got me lol Service is always good. The narrow entrance, & line can be slow at times though. Kind of a bad spot for it, and gets congested Casual, & chill place to eat, drink, & relax

Shout out to all the employees they took great care of us and the food was great…read more But honestly, I didn't care about all of that because all I could focus on was how close I was how close I was sitting next to somebody else! I don't wanna be touched by other people's kids while I'm eating my food. what's up with the assigned seating I've never seen that in any store that's probably the worst seating situation I've seen.... Space out your tables more or open up the whole damn floor so that way people aren't tripping over everybody. Until that's changed I don't see my self coming back here

Food was hot and seasoned well. Clean place. I would recommend to someone in the area!read more

I left this meal feeling both impressed and confused, which is probably the most honest review I…read morecan give. Let's start with the star of the show: the fried soft-shell crab bao. Good grief, this thing was phenomenal. It may have been the single best item we ordered. The crab was cooked perfectly with a satisfying crunch, the bao was pillowy soft, and they showed admirable restraint with the sauce. Too many places drown everything in mayo and call it creativity. Not here. Every bite was balanced and absolutely delicious. Then there was the pork belly burger, which looked like it was about to become my new favorite burger in Fort Worth. Unfortunately, it never quite got there. The pork belly hadn't rendered enough, making it chewy and difficult to bite through. The beef patty also seemed oddly resistant to being bitten. I shouldn't need the jaw strength of an alligator to eat a burger. My wife ordered the black garlic ramen. She loved the broth and thought the egg was excellent, but the noodles were surprisingly firm and ended up mostly untouched. The kid's meal was probably the easiest win of the night. My son happily devoured the chicken tenders and was thrilled to discover that dessert was included. The Cookie Monster ice cream may have generated more excitement than anything else on the table. Overall, this place feels like a restaurant with some genuinely brilliant ideas and a few execution issues. When they're on, they're REALLY on. That soft-shell crab bao alone is worth the trip. I'd happily come back, but next time I might just order three baos and call it dinner.
