    Lots of food. Lol.
    Danielle J.

    Been a long time since I've been here. I was shocked when I walked in and saw the renovation that was done inside. I had mixed feelings walking in. Was kind of sad to see that the original inside had been updated to today's current country style but the decor was done tastefully. There were a lot of pictures taken off all the walls and you could still see the screws were they had not put them back but there are still a lot of old photos. Now onto the food. To start I wanted to try the new sampler they had on the menu. For 12 dollars, I don't feel like I paid for the cost. It came with 2 mozzarella sticks, 2 tater keg bites, 4 small onion rings, and 2 mac and cheese balls. The mozzarella sticks were the best on the sampler. Wish I had just had an order of those honestly. For my entree, I got breakfest #3. That consisted of 3 eggs i got scrambled, 4 slices of bacon, and pancakes. Oh was I in the mood for some good pancakes and they were delicious. I also ordered a side of sourdough toast and biscuits with gravy. I was kind of disappointed with the biscuits and gravy. Was a tiny biscuit and thought it would have been home made but could totally tell it was a Pillsbury biscuit. Not sure if they ran out and had that as a back up but the biscuit was dry and thin. The rest of my breakfest good was delightful. Service was also really friendly and she stayed on top of the drinks. I knkw I'll be back to get there breakfast again.

    Perfection. Everything you could possibly want from a diner. Packed booths, smiling staff, fresh breakfast food, great lunches, extensive menu, fresh drinks, and a buzzing atmosphere. A Fort Worth gem, so worth the visit. You'll leave smiling

    Westside Cafe is amazing! They have never compromised on old-fashioned value and service. Their food is always cooked to order and absolutely delicious! The staff are always on top of their game in making sure each table feels special, regardless of how busy the restaurant is. The ambiance is of a diner from years gone by...a pocket of time from the good old days. Yesterday I dropped off two military pictures of family to be hung on their wall of honor. In wanting to make full use of the trip out there, I stayed for a late breakfast. The three buttermilk pancakes were huge! The syrup bottles are kept warm and made a great addition to the butter already applied. The biscuits and gravy were a nice way to complete the meal. Wow! I waddled out to the car after finishing all my food. Alicia, my server, was a joy to have take care of me. Please support Westside Cafe!

    Bring your grandma and go have some home cooked food. Make sure you try this long time staple of the west side of Fort Worth. It was bought by a company after some struggles the previous owner had but they kept up the decor, which makes the place what it is. No lie, his place is like coming home. The memories here warms my heart. I think my favorite is the grilled pork chops or the liver and onions. Back when I could eat bread I'd get the club sandwich. The ranch is homemade. Don't forget to try the desserts. The wait staff will keep up with all you need and have all the answers. There is always someone around and I'm pretty sure they all help one another. LOVE HIS PLACE.

    I wish I had more stars to give!!! There's a reason there's a wait on a Sunday morning--but don't be deterred!!! The friendly staff will greet you and get you on the list. This place runs so efficiently, the wait won't be long! Once you are seated you will be treated to outstanding service and exceptional food! Fast, friendly, delicious! Pancakes are sooo good and served with warm syrup, biscuits are flaky and tender, loaded omelettes are fresh and hot!! We need more stars!!!! Don't sleep on this institution, doing it right!!! Oh -- GET THE HASHBROWN CASSEROLE!!!

    Went here cause I wanted to try something different. My father lives on this side of town, so I thought why not. The food portion was great. It's a huge place inside. My daughter loved the Mac n cheese. Fries were crispy. Loved the biscuit and gravy. Bacon was so crispy. We will be back!!

    Stopped in here for breakfast today. This is the first time I've walked into a restaurant and said "This place has had a deep cleaning and you can tell." The food was fantastic! The place was really busy for 8am too. Had with a #1 and then smoked sausage, biscuit, 3 scrambled eggs and a pancake. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the biscuit was fantastic! The smoked sausage was also delicious and had a great smokey flavor. This was a fantastic experience and can't wait to try this place again.

    The BEST hashbrowns I've had in a hot minute! I was craving a classic diner breakfast, you know the kind... - great service - great coffee - great pancakes - great eggs (made your way!) - and of course, great hashbrowns!!! This cafe has it ALL and more! I can't wait to try more on the menu or just another round of hashbrowns. ;D

    Friday Special!!
    Kent P.

    I've been a customer here for 15 years. Just what I thought it couldn't get any better, it took a giant step forward. I believe, since the new ownership took over, this restaurant has gone from great to perfect in its class. Nice, clean building with good, efficient service. The decor is now updated and fresh. The daily lunch specials are not to be overlooked! Today, I'm feasting on the Friday deal: my choice of sides includes turnip greens and squash casserole, two of my favorites. Beef tips and noodles are made with real prime beef and absolutely just like your grandma would've made! Finish that with cornbread, and you are off to the races! Unsweet Arnold Palmer, and I am a happy camper!

    Pozole Soup 12/13/25
    Lorie B.

    Everything was Great! I come every Saturday and Sunday for the Pozole Soup. I add a soft scrambled egg, green salsa and squeeze 2-3 lemons along with other fix-ins. Olga, was a Wonderful waitress as is all that work here. We love the at Home feel you get at West Side.

    Chicken fried steak and scrambled eggs ( the best I've ever had)
    Robbie T.

    The restaurant was very busy but the wait was only like 5 minutes! The employees were more than just workers... they actually put off the family vibe. You don't get just one server there... they are all for one and one for all there, total teamwork here!! Now let's get down to the food!! It was absolutely freaking delicious and amazing!! Their chicken from steak and their scrambled eggs were the best that we ever had!!( and I'm a VERY picky eater foodie the same cooks have been there for over 20 years so the food is consistently good. Definitely recommend them!! We plan on making this a regular place!! And Monica was so precious!!

    Special #2 plus cheddar plus two poached eggs (4 eggs total). They know my order. Just "my usual". The best service.

    I come every Friday to get a generous helping of good food and feel good excellent service.

    Good portions of my classic choice.
    Tonya K.

    I enjoyed overall my classic breakfast items at this Fort Worth multigenerational staple with a warm & spacious atmosphere. Biscuits with gravy was delicious. My scrabbled eggs and sausage tasted fine. Services was attentive and very sweet from the hostess to the cashier at check out. Coffee refills kept coming and is a light roast. The place to go if wanting a classic American breakfast.

    Does anyone know a recipe similar to their squash casserole? I live in Dallas now and I crave it all the time.

    I actually use a lot of amazing recipes on a site called lemon8. They might have it on there

    Is breakfast served all day?

    Yes, they serve breakfast all day.

    Just wondering, can customers order for to-go/pick up? I don't mind being charged for tip.

    Yes, I saw folks picking up to-go orders when I was there.

    How do I find out sodium content of foods, i.e. western omelet?

    Hi Donna, and thanks for your question. But unfortunately, we do not have that information in a comprehensive form. We would have to hire a laboratory to analyze all of our products, and this would cost many thousands of dollars and is not… Read more

Perfect choice! 1) BEST Street Corn fresh off the cob, seasoned to perfection 2) BEST Golden mashed potatoes that melted in my mouth with every bite. They were yellow and not bleached white. The flavor was amazing! 3) BEST Broccoli on earth. I don't know what they did to this broccoli that made me want to lick the plate, but if I could prepare it like this, I would eat broccoli every single day. 4) the grass fed steak was so tender that they don't serve it with a steak knife. They served it with a regular butter knife. That is how tender the beef was. 5) Our server was amazing as so friendly and knowledgeable. I never have had a meal that taste it so fresh and not overly seasoned but season two perfection on everything I ate from the appetizer of conchinita nachos to my entrée I can't wait to try their smoked chicken salad

The marinara was prepared very well and the meat was soft and delicious. The sourdough bread was so good as well. The crispy chicken sandwich was different. I don't think there is a way that the chef would have known this but the chicken breast was a woody chicken breast. This means that there was a quality issue with the chicken because it was tough to cut and almost impossible to bite into. I wasn't able to eat the chicken so I ate the cole slaw and bread along with the fries. They did offer to bring me something else but at that point I was over it. My partner had sliced chicken breast with Brussel sprouts, rice and beans. His meal was excellent and I'd have that again. The Brussel sprouts were perfectly prepared and the beans were so good.

My friend did all like what they ordered and their food looked good too.

    A Relaxing Lakeside Experience with Great Food & Service…read moreThis was our second visit to this quaint seat-yourself restaurant. With indoor seating, a cozy patio, and tables on the lawn, we chose the latter for a peaceful view of Lake Worth lake. The setup creates the perfect backdrop, complemented by a refreshing breeze. Both times we've been, there was live music--this time, karaoke--which made for a fun atmosphere. Service started off slow, but thanks to Trisha, our waitress, the experience was completely turned around. She was attentive, friendly, and truly saved the day by quickly taking care of us, after we had waited quite a while. Her warmth and efficiency made the visit extra special. As for the food, we went with our usual--the three-piece catfish basket, which comes with French fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw. Everything was fresh and delicious. The margaritas were just as enjoyable! After dinner, we took a short walk down to the edge of the bluff overlooking the lake and relaxed on a nearby bench, soaking in the peaceful surroundings. It was the perfect way to end a wonderful evening. Highly recommend this spot for its views, laid-back vibe, and good food!Would definitely return.
