I happened to be staying at the Omni Fort Worth and came across the Cast Iron because they were advertising a Texas whisky dinner. Man, did I sure stumble into the right place. Everyone from the hostesses to the manager to the brand ambassador from the whisky supplier was super welcoming and accommodating. I was the only person alone, but still had a great time. Let's also not forget about the food - I had seared scallops, garlic potatoes, bison that was cooked right in front of me by the chef who was from the northern part of France (we had a good conversation since I've spent some time in southern Belgium and northern France), and homemade desserts and ice cream. The bison was by far the star during this event. read more

Service was a little slow however, the food was prepared and presented to near perfection!

Had Sunday Brunch here a few weeks ago. Great selection of food. The mashed potatoes were so delicious, could not believe they were on a buffet. The cheesecake was light and airy. My only complaint was that it was a little dried out on the edges. I appreciated the lack of steam stables which created a much more inviting atmosphere. My bottomless mimosa was always full. Parking is a bit of a hassle. Just save yourself the time and use valet. Our reservations were right at check out time so next time we will go either a little later or earlier read more

Don't go. Was there on a Friday at 7pm and no one was there. Should have been a sign. Marginal food that was over priced. Wait staff that wouldn't make the cut at McDonald's. I honestly think the hostess was high. Want to know how to screw up mac n cheese? Visit Cast Iron. read more

We stayed at the hotel for the weekend and bought the breakfast buffet package they offer. I loved how everything was decorated and the layout of the buffet. The disappointing part was the food. It just wasn't good. The hot food and the cold food was room temperature. It definitely depends on your taste but the food all had a little twist to it that I wasn't a fan of. For example, the pancakes weren't just regular pancakes but they were lemon poppy seed buckwheat pancakes and they weren't good. The service was good, no complaints there, and our stay was great. Everyone was very nice and I love that there is a full on Starbucks attached to the hotel. We would stay here again but either order straight from the menu or eat somewhere else altogether. read more

5 stars because as we were trying to ask for alternative options, they offered us a vegetarian menu! Yes! They also offered to "vegetarianize" other menu options. They made one of our entrees a portobello mushroom burger with sweet potato fries ... EXCELLENT! We always appreciate when restaurants volunteer to try to make something great for us. The service was wonderful, it was a nice atmosphere (inside of the Omni, across the street from the convention center), and the food was delicious. read more

Good, prompt service. Friendly attentive waiter. Menu is kinda limited but everything on it sounded good. I had the brisket dip. For the most part it was good but the dipping bar b que sauce was way too peppery for my taste. Would go there again if staying at the Omni. read more

We went here for thanksgiving dinner. Our reservation was for 7 and we finally got seated at 7:30, which was super odd because there were a whole bunch of open tables. Took another 10 mins for someone to acknowledge we were there. The food was actually pretty good, but they add a 20% tip which I do not like. We didn't have great service and a $15 tip was WAY too much. read more

I made a reservation here for Valentine's Day. When we arrived, I noticed that the restaurant doesn't have any atmosphere. It all felt very cheap, if that makes sense. I was disappointed to find a prix fixe menu. Every option had sea food. If I would have known that, I wouldn't have made the reservation. Overall the food was pretty good. My favorite option was actually the cauliflower and crab soup. We both ordered the steak option. It was underwhelming. The steak was very thin. They also didn't give us a steak knife to fix it with so we had to use a butter knife. We ended our meal with dessert. A tart and a chocolate dessert. I didn't care for either. My wife thought the tart was ok. The service was alright. We had to continuously ask for refills. That would normally be ok, except a 20% service charge was added without being asked. I would have expected this for a bigger party, but there was only 2 of us. That left a bad taste in my mouth. I was planning on tipping around that amount anyway, but don't force it. Anyway, an overall very disappointing Valentine's Day experience. I don't think we will be back. What a shame. read more

We stayed at the Omni and decided to grab some room service one night. I ordered the Texas Cheese Steak sandwich, which was sliced smoked bbq brisket served on a grilled jalapeno cheddar thick sliced toast. Wow! It was very tasty and exceeded all expectations I had for room service. It came with fries, and those were good but were something you'll forget about due to the sandwich being so delicious. Will definitely order again. read more

This is the best brunch in Fort Worth, as far as I'm concerned. So many options and all were excellent. We had great service from Jose - he kept our mimosas full and was delightful. It's a treat - rich food and not super cheap but it's fun to do every once in a while! read more

Great food and the best service I have ever experienced...even better than Chick-fil-A! The staff was very inviting, helpful, and personable. read more

This restaurant needs to hang out a "Chef for Hire" wanted sign. We went last night for the Thanksgiving dinner. We were seated right away. the seating area was in a back room. We liked that only (3) couples could sit in this area, so no chance of children invading and ruining the peace. the tables are square and wooden. I would have liked a more weighted cutlery. The restaurant was not crowded around 6:45PM. The drinks were $11.00 each. I had a cosmo. it was meh. He had a cowboy margarita and he liked it. It was sour and yellow and he likes sour. Our waiter had absolutely no finesse. He looked and sounded like a cab driver who was just brought in off the street. It took him so long to get to our table that even the hostess came over and asked it we had been served yet, but we didn't mind b/c I don't like to be bum rushed when I first sit down. Luis looked so handsome I was enjoying watching him at the table in his black paisley vest! The (3) dish opener was:APPETIZERS BABY ICEBERG WEDGE, OVEN DRIED HEIRLOOM TOMATOES, CHIPOTLE BACON LARDOONS AND POTATO BREAD CROSTINI with Paula's goat cheese, creamy peppercorn dressing or BUTTERNUT SQUASH BISQUE EN CROUTE, golden raisin and apricot compote. The Squash Bisque was the better of the (2). I ate the remnants of Luis and it was delicious. My iceberg lettuce went on and on w/o enough dressing. The chipotle bacon lardoons were tasty of course. I had to cut the wedge of lettuce w/ my steak knife. It was too hard to get a mixture of flavor in one biteful w/ the lettuce wedge, but plentiful w/ the bisque. The bisque had a phyllo dough lining the ceramic bowl. It was too bad they didn't grease the bowl. The phyllo was a nice and different texture. ENTRÉES choice of one SLOW ROASTED TURKEY BREAST, old fashioned corn bread dressing, giblet gravy and orange cranberry compote-We chose this one. Pieces of the turkey were not dry, but hard. It was not prepared w/ respect to the customer's palate. There was not enough cranberry on the plate. The dressing was a real disappointment. I don't think any cornbread was in it. It was really gummy tasting. perhaps we should've opted for the prime rib, but read in a different review the prime rib has so much fat on it that the customer had to spend a lot of time cutting it off. or HICKORY SMOKED PRIME RIB OF BEEF, whipped sweet potatoes and rosemary jus or POTATO CRUSTED SABLE FISH, acorn squash gnocchi and apple cider butter sauce ALL ENTREES SERVED WITH VEGETABLES FAMILY STYLE harvester green beans and creamed corn. The creamed corn was delicious. We almost fought over it. The beans had a garlic flavor and were so el dente that we left them on the table wishing the chef had cooked them until they were soft w/ some hammocks. That was a waste of green beans if you like yours cooked. DESSERTS PUMPKIN PIE-the chef should've been ashamed to put this out onto the table. It was dark, dark brown and tasted like cinnamon pie. PECAN PIE-we didn't taste this one., WARM CAST IRON BREAD PUDDING-this was not bad. We both liked it., CRANBERRY CHEESECAKE -This was my favorite, it was soft and creamy. MINI PASTRIES? We didn't notice these. They did have small bowls of berries. $39.95 PER ADULT CHILDREN 5 - 12 $20 PER CHILD CHILDREN UNDER 5 EAT FREE Price exclusive of applicable tax. ******A service charge of 18% will be applied.****** The restaurant applied $18.34 automatically to our bill. I thought this was quite presumptuous. They apply this whether or not you get this level of service. I would have only left $10.00, TTL: $126.83 FOR RESERVATIONS, CALL 817.350.4106 OR VISIT US AT WWW.OMNIFORTWORTHHOTEL.COM/DINING/CASTIRON read more

Went for Father's day brunch on June 16. My whole table was delighted. Service was as good as it gets. There was a great choice of foods available and it was all great quality. We paid $29 per person for the brunch, which included bottomless Mimosas and complimentary beer. Omelet bar, meats, Prime Rib, salads, desserts were all wonderful. My wife raved over the waffles. The crab claws and shrimp on the salad bar were delicious as were the cocktail and remoulade sauces. This was my first visit but It will be my go to brunch in the future. read more

Great staff. One of our orders was completely messed up, and they made it right (after a couple tries), reduced our bill, comp'd us a dessert & a breakfast. Way above & beyond for service. The other entree was delish...no issues whatsoever. This is a nice quiet (at least when we were there) casual setting in a very nice hotel. read more

We went to dinner here because it was in the hotel and we just wanted something close. I ordered the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly (med rare). However the food was cold and the sweet potatoes were not cooked. They were pretty hard. The steak and sauce were great. Garlic spinach was nicely seasoned. I would have given it four stars if the food was hot. Service was off. In the beginning, the waiter came over a lot, even asking about dessert before we finished eating. Then he took a long time to bring my friends dessert (there were only 6 customers in the restaurant). When we inquired he apologized and told us they were busy with room service...I would try it again... Prices are reasonable 17 for my steak. read more

Celebrated New Year's Eve 2015/2016. It was a top notch dining experience--from the wait staff to the 3 courses to the Chefs personal service to the table by his attention. Well done Cast Iron!! read more

Terrible service. We had a group of 12, and it was just too much for them to handle. Drink and food orders were messed up, service was slow, and paying checks was a cluster. Overall, the restaurant was disorganized and uncoordinated. read more

One of the few places, that serves breakfast on weekdays, that's not a rundown diner. Great variety of food, buffer or menu. Reasonably priced. Beautiful ambiance. Valet parking. Can't be beat. read more

First time I have been compelled to login to Yelp and write a review. Unlike other reviewers, I did not have the opportunity to try the food. Why? I was told they were on a 30-40 minute wait but I was the first up. I counted no less than 12 empty tables... since it is a buffet I was not a waiter issue. When I asked, the host told me there were reservations. I countered with ,"the restaurant would pass on a customer now for one that may not show?". His response was "yep". Don't waste your time. read more

We happened to visit during a huge event and the menu was reduced to a buffet and the bar menu from Whiskey Rye. The food itself wasn't bad at all, I had the fish tacos and I thought they were good as fish tacos go and the sauce was nicely mild. Many of my dining companions ordered the skirt steak and gave it rave reviews. The dessert was a phenomenal custard and I think the food itself warrants a test visit. My real issue with this restaurant, and the reason I will never go back, is purely in the service. There were 14 of us, a large table for anyone to handle, but you would think with a hotel like the Omni that sports three restaurants that they would have this process down. First off, we were presented with two menus for our table and no drink menu. These were 14 adults very willing to spend a large sum of money on alcohol and instead we rushed through our drink orders just to get something on the table. The waiter made it halfway around the table and when he came to someone that was scrambling to pick a drink, he wandered off to give him some time, but then had to be hunted down again just to finish our orders. When the drinks came out, a completely different member of the wait staff was delivering and didn't know one wine serving from the other much less who they belonged to. At this point we'd be there for over an hour already and hadn't gotten the chance to order our food. A rather friendly gentleman came by with bread and a joke, livening up the mood and inspiring some hope for our dining experience. We eventually ordered, the food came out with some mistakes, but the manager compensated us dessert for our troubles and we largely decided to just deal with the poor service. The check was an entirely different matter and it took another twenty minutes just to get it split correctly. The worst part for me, and this is a personal peeve, is when the waiter walked around to grab all of the credit card receipts and visibly scrutinized what was written on them. I have never had this happen before and it makes me extremely uncomfortable. I wish I could solely rate the service as a one and the food quite high, but I think the two stars characterizes how I felt about most of the night. read more

Outstanding food and service!! The Chef went out of his way to ensure our breakfast was perfect. Our waitress provided excellent service despite the restaurant being busy. read more

WOW!!! I'm so glad my whole family decided to try this place out with me. Overall the prices are reasonable. From the first minute we step in the restaurant to the second we were out we were welcomed and appreciated. Everyone was delightful and our server Natalie was beyond amazing. She answered all our questions and when our 16oz strip loin steak was undercooked she was very apologetic and after it was fixed it was fantastic along with their sides. We were there for dinner and even though it was a party of 10 were seated immediately. The Double Play BBQ Texas Beef Burger was a hit with everyone along with the Chipotle Chicken Chowder. We thought they wouldn't be kid friendly, but we were completely wrong as they were totally ready for kids. Their kids menu was awesome and all the kids had a blast and loved the food as well. Going on the website does it no justice because we went in there thinking their selection was small, but was completely wrong about their food. Would recommend everyone give it a try and look forward to going back for their Sunday brunch! read more

My wife and I were traveling and we wanted to order to go because she is pregnant and didn't feel very good. We called and were initially hung up on 3 times. After frustration I walked down to order in person. There were about 4 people in the restaurant so no excuses for the rude phone hang ups without even answering. When I walked in the manager was at the desk and pretended to ignore me. So I just stood there waiting patiently. Finally she decides to acknowledge me and was by far the most pretentious person I've dealt with. Her attitude was childish and if i was the owner I would remove her permanently. She knew exactly what she was doing. I'm so sick of these people thinking they are above you. What a miserable woman. I strongly strongly urge anyone to save their money and walk down the street to the endless choices two blocks away. You will be treated with much greater respect and like a paying customer. I'm a military officer and travel constantly and this one tops them all for poor front end representation of an establishment. read more

Horrible food. I am not a food critic and not one to complain, but after this meal I have to share the experience. My wife and I were staying at the Omni for some R&R. Now we just hope we dont get sick. The fried pickles came out cold and soggy. We asked if they were made to order and we were told yes. They took them back and brought out a new batch that were fresh and crunchy. I ordered the chicked fried steak and mashed potatoes. It was extremely over cooked. Not just that but the meat tasted very strange. I thought it was just seasoning and was willing to eat it until I looked closer and realized the meat was on the verge of being spoiled. I left it uneaten. My wife had a club sandwich with sweet potatoe fries. Her fries tasted like they were made the day before and were cold. The sandwich was bland and not appetizing at all. At the end of the meal both of us had an upset stomach that led to nausea. The staff was accommodating and comped the meal and everyone at the hotel is great. We are not looking for anything free. This review is to raise awareness of food quality. I would still recommend the Omni as the hotel has a lot to do and has a great staff. read more

The food was about 1 star over best western style breakfast quality. It was also very expensive. Buffet was $22 a person and the food was pretty below average and not a lot of selection. Seems as though you are stuck with it because there really isn't anything walking distance. read more

Went on a Saturday night, not crowed at all, which was good, because every other restaurant was. First time I've been there, glad I made the choice to go, very nice wait staff, very friendly. Food was good, my friend and I ate everything on our plates, my friend had the Salman and I had the Skirt Steak. We also had mixed drinks, which was very good, very fruity and not very strong (which I like). I would go again. read more

We went to dinner one night, driving about 30 minutes. We heard the restaurant was good, but we thought it was a little odd that people in the hotel were leaving for dinner. When we walked in, no one else was there. Those should have been the signs. Service was terrible - and we were the only people there! Food was even worse. Very disappointed that the Omni would have this kind of service. read more

this place continues to be an underappreciated gem at the south tip of downtown - the menu is southwest eclectic and actually delivers, i.e. you can taste all the funky fusion components of each dish - the service is always extremely good also - you have to be aware that, at any given time, there might be a horde of convention invaders, in which case you should come back later, but you can also use OpenTable to ensure you have a reservation read more

Went when they had a dinner buffet. The food was good but nothing special.

My family had the Sunday Brunch which was excellent. There was a wide variety of food to choose from. We especially enjoyed the courteous and friendly service from our waiter, Fidel. read more

I'm from Fort Worth and pretty familiar with all of the other choices on the South end of downtown and there are some pretty good ones. During a recent stay at the Omni I decided to try the Cast Iron which is located inside the Omni. The decor is southwestern and looks great. Our waiter was promptly had our drinks and some warm bread (jalapeno cheese bread was outstanding). We each got a bowl of the chicken/corn chowder soup and split a ceasar salad and a brisket sandwich. For desert we had coffee and bread pudding. Our waiter was what you wish for-his timing was excellent and he was attentive without being bothersome. I can't remember when I had this kind of service in a Fort Worth restaurant. Now the food: the chicken corn chowder was creamy with a bit of spice to it. The Ceasar Salad (which we split) was huge and it was a "Southwest" Ceasar and had some corn and some red pepper spice-not hot, but a nice addition. The lettuce was crisp and there was just the right amount of dressing-worked well for TWO people. The brisket/cheese sandwich featured thinly sliced smoked brisket with a tangy and mild BBQ sauce. It had parmesean cheese that was melted-the bread was french and the sandwich was baked or toasted. This BBQ sandwich was better than most of the downtown BBQ places. I'm usually not a desert eater, but the waiter suggested their bread pudding and we were not disappointed; perfect size to share. It was baked in a bowl and had chocolate drizzled on top; a small side of cream sauce was also provided. The pricing, although not inexpensive, is a bargain for the quality of food and level of service. This is a great place to eat if you are at the Omni. read more
