We are heading north tomorrow. Up 35W to I-20 and then west on I-20. It’ll be about lunch time when we hit the south side of Ft Worth. Any suggestions on where to eat that’s good and not too slow, and not far off the freeway? I’m sure I could find a Cracker Barrel or a Whataburger, but something better would be preferred.

Hit up the Hickory stick in everman

or Madea's soul food.

or just about anywhere between hulen and the Chisolm trail turnpike.

All right! That sounds like what I need. Thanks.

Cousins BBQ on McCart is delicious. Specifically the one on McCart, the others aren't as good.

+1. the one on bryant irvin is horrible.

South Fort Worth is Ghetto Big Time

Charley’s is fantastic....great burgers and maybe the best rings I’ve had.

Wisdom!

Another vote for Charley's. Good onion rings. Not some frozen product.

Off i35 in burleson

Hard 8 B&W. It's hit and miss
Babes chicken house for comfort food
Frescos for Mexican
Grumps for burgers

Off of i20 in fort wort

Charley's on granbury Rd for burgers
boomer jacks on Bryant Irvin for bar and grill
Thai select on Hulen

Off of i20 in willow park/Hudson oaks
The malt shop on 180 for burgers
Blu jasmine on 180 for Asian
Los vaqueros on service road for mexican

I would continue on 35W to Argyle until I was at 407 BBQ, an extra 35 to 40 miles but well worth the time and effort.

Another vote for Charley's, I normally stop by when I am in that area.

407 sounds like it is probably out of the way for you, but I can't say enough good stuff about that place if you're ever in that area. (And good enough to make the trip even if you aren't in the area).

Burleson:
Babes
Hibachi Tepenaki
Little Brothers. Its an Italian place next to Albertsons

I would avoid the Hard 8 in Burleson. It was very disappointing when I went there last September.

I agree on Hard 8. It can be pretty hit or miss, mostly miss. Babe's would be my choice if I stopped in Burleson. Charley's if I went a few blocks north of I-20.

Babes is good

Man, I want a Charlie's now.

We got to FTW too soon to eat, so the wife vetoed Charlie’s. We stopped in Decatur to eat at Braum’s. I accused her of wanting to eat there because of the ice cream. She denied that quite firmly. We had burgers and then she got ice cream.

Got to say it. Braums way outclasses Whataburger and the other fast food burger joints. That was an excellent Bacon CB, and the fries were really good. I’m moving them to the top of quickie burger joints in my area. That said, the higher end places like Twisted Root can be better. And Coyote Bluff still reigns supreme to me.

My man. Braums is the goat!

This thread sent me to Charley’s yesterday....a German Burger and Rings.....killer!

Abuelos` has great Mexican food. It is @ Hulen Mall and easy to get to off of I 20 (about 1/2 mile). We eat there 2-3 times a year.

The Hard 8 in Stephenville isn`t ant better, but the parking lots is always full.



I never understood the attraction to Babe`s. I ate there once at was not impressed for all of the hoopla.

The chicken is good, but not better than Chicken Express. Also, the hard 8 in coppell is meh at best.
