Must try whenever you're in Fort Worth! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to stop by and eat here. It's family owned and operated -everyone here was so friendly - and food was delish! I'll start by saying that these are the best fries I've ever had. I am obsessed with fries. They are in my top 3 foods if I could only eat three things the rest of my life. So you know I've eaten my fair share of fries. And these are THE best I've had. Thin, but not too thin, perfect amount of crispness, and the seasoning...so good! Must try. I could go on and on about the fries, but I had other food as well. Haha. I will say, there aren't a ton of vegetarian options on the menu, BUT the options available are good. I had the veggie wrap and it was pretty flavorful. The veggies are crispy and fresh, and the added sauce just makes it that much better. I also did try the sweet potatoes and they were delicious! I didnt try the other dishes, but look at them...big portions and the person who ordered it loved them! Finally the place itself is beautiful. I didnt take any pictures, but it was bright and super welcoming. Overall, a must try! I know I'll definitely be back. read more

I was in the neighborhood and stopped in for a quick bite here. It was pretty busy when I walked in but I didn't have to wait too long. I wanted to get the chili but unfortunately they didn't have any so I opted for the turkey club. The sandwich was pretty good, nothing anything special but it did hit the spot and I would like to come back to try the chili sometime. I think this place is more of a catering type of business but you can stop in for some food. read more

I found this place kinda randomly, and I love it! They do have a super small menu, but that is because they have only recently started serving lunch. I got turkey avocado club, and it was very, very good. The owner is very friendly and even came out to check if we needed anything. The space is small, but it has a very modern feel period they also have a small outside patio, which, you know how us Texans love to sit outside when the weather is nice! I look forward to going back. read more

I was so looking forward to dining at this restaurant, but... 1. I was told that the big chalkboard menu was for decoration and was shown a smaller menu. 2. Ordered grilled cheese and fries. Asked if i could have lettuce and pickles with my grilled cheese sandwich. Was told no, unless I pay for a salad. I can't get lettuce on a sandwich, without paying $4.22 extra? 3. No herbal tea or decaf offerings. 4. Received only a half sandwich, even though I paid as much as my friends who received full sandwiches. I was told that I only got half a sandwich, because they had to use a different type of bread. 5. My friend asked for bread pudding and told that they had run out. It was 11 am and the business opened at 10. As we left, my friend was told by the owner that they did have bread pudding and she doesn't know why she was told that. read more

I will start out by saying this place is ADORABLE. A business colleague and I stopped in for some lunch last week and this is a true gem. The decor is very nice and the service quite exceptional. We had the mint lemonade, shared the Asian zing nachos, each had a bowl of chicken and dumplings and shared the bread pudding. All of it was quite delicious. The chicken and dumplings--cannot speak highly enough of this one! So. Dang. Good! Honestly, the only thing I was disappointed in was the price of the lemonade. I ordered two more to go and it cost me $14! $14 for TWO lemonades--that is quite extreme to me. I paid it because what else was I going to do after I asked for it, but that should have been the price for 4, not two!! I won't order the lemonade again at that cost. Otherwise, I do recommend the lunch here! read more

Living in Dallas, I wouldn't have even known about this place if I hadn't been following Taylor Pace on Instagram. We eat where the good singers and musicians are playing! This place was a pleasant surprise. The patio was so cute, and it was shaded with fans, so comfortable even on a July evening. The food was delicious! We liked the catfish sandwich and the shrimp sandwich. We tried their famous smoked chicken salad and liked it too, but liked the seafood even more--and those fries, yum! Post those shows--we will be back! read more

Wow! I'm thankful that this place is part of Fort Worth Burger week or I might not have seen them. We Ordered the special burger featured this week- The Mean Green Fouxger and a trio salad. The burger features a beyond burger with the most refreshing micro greens I've ever had. The trio salad we got a house salad, fruit salad, and their famous smoked chicken salad. The chicken salad was perfect. Pleasantly surprised that the fruit salad was not the standard cantaloupe and honeydew but rather strawberries, watermelon, and grapes. We will be back! read more

Stopped by Carps Cafe to try the infamous " Smokey Chick" chicken salad. The taste was really good, chicken has a Smokey taste which makes this different from most chicken salad. My only wish would've been adding eggs to my chicken salad ( I didn't read the menu) which is why I gave it a "4" rating but overall this is a must try if you visit Carpenters Cafe. read more

Went to the FOOD TRUCK of theirs today at the Kimbal Museum and I am beyond disappointed at the customer service. Never even got to try the food and I had to get a refund. Waited for almost 40 minutes just to watch 4 people who ordered 10-15 minutes after me get their order. My order must have been lost, no big deal but I needed to leave. I asked for a refund because of the wait just to be meet with attitude as if im the bad guy for asking for my money back. No apology, no explanation, nothing read more
