    The Thirsty Turtle is a fun local North Richland Hills bar with live music and great service. They have a large back room with pool tables, and lots of seating around the bar and stage. They serve American bar food, like burgers and wings and have a side menu of specialty alcoholic drinks.

    Hands down the best fried mushrooms!

    All good things come to an end. I heard they have new owners so I stopped by to see what has changed. I had to ask to place a food order. I had to ask for the check. Was never asked if I needed a drink refill. And I was sitting at the bar next to the cash register. Oh, and I ordered a bacon Swiss burger. I got a mushroom Swiss burger. Don't waste your time or money on this place.

    It's located in a strip mall but the exterior was inviting. It's a bar and grill but of the highest caliber. It was clean, patrons and staff were very friendly. Atmosphere was good, not too dark. And the food! THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC!! I had grilled tilapia and my friend had quesadillas. We definitely had a good time and will go again!

    I just finished eating at Taco Burger and I had to leave a review immediately…read more I'll be honest--I wasn't sure what to expect at first. The name had me curious but also a little unsure... but I decided to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did. I ordered the jalapeño pepper jack cheeseburger with a side of street corn, and WOW. The burger was --full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and that pepper jack + jalapeño combo hit just right. The street corn? Next level. I added their "Sweet Heat" (or Street Heat) sauce and it took it up another notch--sweet with a kick. Perfect balance. I'm not gonna lie... I've got the itis right now That's how you know it was real. On top of that, the staff was amazing--super helpful and patient, especially helping me decide what to get. Definitely exceeded my expectations, and I'll 100% be back whenever I'm on this side of town again

    We decided to check out Taco Burger on Harwood Road last week....I'm super picky when it comes to…read morehamburgers, lol...I just had a simple cheeseburger and I have to say it was GREAT! The meat was very tasty, seasoned perfectly...delish! (I hate when you get a burger that is gristly) Customer service is great! The owners were walking around checking with everyone to make sure they were satisfied! I was talking to some other customers who had ordered other items off the menu (they have a very good variety) and they all said the same thing that everything was very tasty! It's good to have a local place like this to patronize!! This is now my "go-to" place for a burger https://www.tacoburgerbedford.com

    Hoffbrau Steakhouse definitely deserves an update from my original 2-star review. I came back with…read moretempered expectations and was pleasantly surprised -- this visit was a completely different experience. The food quality was noticeably improved. The steak was cooked correctly, flavorful, and much closer to what you expect when you walk into a long-standing Texas steakhouse. Sides were hot, fresh, and felt intentional rather than an afterthought. It finally tasted like a place that knows what it's trying to be. Service was also a big step up. Attentive, friendly, and much more organized than before, which made the meal relaxed instead of frustrating. The pacing felt right, and we didn't have to chase anyone down for basics. The atmosphere is still classic Hoffbrau -- casual, old-school, and comfortable -- and this time it worked in their favor. I'm glad I gave them another shot. While there's still room to grow, this visit earned a solid 4 stars and restored some confidence. I'll actually be back again, which I didn't think I'd say after my first visit.

    Mixed lunch experience on a Tuesday. My husband enjoyed his 10 oz Sal's ribeye--cooked perfect,…read moretender, and flavorful. I ordered the king burger with ranch for my fries but wasn't asked about burger condiments. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese, but the bun was undressed and without the ranch for my fries. I asked twice, but it never came. By the time our waitress checked in, my husband had finished and I hadn't touched my food. I asked for ranch again when asking for a to-go box, it arrived on the third request. Disappointing service and lack of follow-through, though the steak was a highlight.
