I have gone here twice and every time the food is amazing, and staff has got to have one of the best hospitality teams in Fort Worth. This is a lowkey spot that I tend to come back to for any special occasion. With their setup, think small town texas mom & pop meets modern. I enjoy everything about this place! read more

Tried the new Menu at F1 Bar&Grill today. Started with Smoked Guacamole and Jalapeno-Cheddar Wagyu Corndog. Moved to the new Wagyu steaks. Had Bavette (hit if the day!) with Charred Broccolini which was phenomenal and reasonably priced. Then tried the Filet Migon with a Baby Cucumber Salad. The cucumber salad was light but has a bit of backend heat that was a fabulous twist. Ended on a Sundae that was very tasty and a well balanced non-alcoholic cocktail called the Baja Lemonade. read more

Great ambiance. Very unique and cozy. Excellent service. Wagyu smash burger: tasty and flavorful. Grilled bbq wings: small wing dings, a lot of flavor, sweet and salty sauce, a bit over cooked. Cesar salad: larger salad than expected. I requested bacon sprinkled on top. The lettuce is lightly grilled. Dressing is tasty. The croutons are fresh and definitely made on site. Good and tasty choice. Chicken fried pickles: crispy well seasoned coating. Salty and briny pickle spears on the inside. read more

Stopped in for a quick Sunday bite. We were able to sit on the patio that's tucked away in the back. Very nice! Cozy and nice to sit on a patio thar has a cool vibe. The food was really good. I had the Buffalo Chicken sandwhich with tots and we got an Elote. Our server Enrique made sure we were well taken care of. He walked us through the menu. Made suggestions and kept if fun and lite. Absolutely need to come back...next time....I'm getting ribs! read more

Any barbecue joint in the Dallas area that maintains such incredible online ratings is clearly doing something right! And F1 did not disappoint! Their Waygu brisket is phenomenal, just the right tenderness with those dark, flavorful, crispy edges! And it's worth the price! They also serve excellent elote (Mexican street corn served on the cob), one of my favorite dishes on the planet and one of the best versions I've ever eaten! The mac 'n' cheese is only decent, but it's certainly acceptable. I'd definitely go back for the Wagyu and that elote again! read more

Went to F1 for lunch on a Friday and I think they are doing some really great things here. First off, the menu and the setting isn't like any BBQ place in Fort Worth currently. It is a bit more formal, with table service and BBQ-themed dishes. I say that in that, if you're looking for a "meat and three" or just want to order a few pounds of brisket, that isn't F1's model so plan accordingly. Needless to say, its the most unique BBQ menu in Fort Worth. Running with this, I felt like going with the Brisket cheese steak was the perfect option for lunch. You're greeted with a hearty mound of cubed smoked brisket, piled a top a charred French roll, with a hearty serving of fries. The brisket was quite good, smoky and tender. Overall a great sandwich and probably one of the best cheesesteaks in Fort Worth. So now that I've whet my palate, I plan to be back to try more of the menu. I've heard their breakfast is amazing and I do plan on trying the Blue Plate Special, where I can do a more traditional BBQ review given I can sample all the smoked meats. F1's unique take on BBQ definitely requires a visit. read more

Another dynamite restaurant from FAR Out... every single one of Felipe's restaurants are good. My wife and I went out for a date night here to celebrate her birthday and they gave us each a complimentary glass of champs to celebrate. We were off to a great start! My wife also ordered the Texas Heat cocktail. It was a jalapeno cucumber tequila based drink, with just the right amount of kick. She loved it! I had a glass of Pinot to go with my barbecue. For our entrees, my wife selected the loaded baked potato with brisket. It was a good size, and topped with sour cream sauce, cheese, brisket, butter, and green onion. It was a strong selection. I ordered the blue plate special which had pulled pork, pork ribs, jalapeno and cheddar sausage, and brisket. Platter was served with three sauces, a peach bbq, hoisin bbq, and a ground mustard. Each was unique in its own right and offered some flavor depth. There were about six other things on the menu that I wanted to try, so I'm already plotting my return trip. read more

Stop what you're doing and go right now!! Five star service, food,decor, ambiance. Check, check, check and check. Here's what we had: Electric pickle dirty martini, red headed stranger and smoke show cocktails from the bar. Brisket plate with truffle potato salad (one thumb up, one thumb down at our table), deviled eggs, mexican shrimp cocktail, berry cobbler. My husband said he thought it looked like a small plate of food but he said it was actually just right. We both loved the deviled eggs. The mexican cocktail had shrimp all the way to the last bite and was very light and refreshing. The berry cobbler was the absolute best we have ever had!! Every staff member helps clear tables and welcome guests. Watching staff they constantly fill water and clear plates. It's been so long since we had this level of service I thought it didn't exist but here it is. We can't wait to go back with friends or for happy hour! read more

3rd visit here, and this was by far my favorite! Sadly, they were out of my favorite cocktail, "Just Peachy." However, going along with our waiter's recommendation, I tried the Red-headed Stranger. It was delicious! A perfect, slushy, frozen drink to cool me down in this Texas heat. My date tried "Smokey the Bear," and very much enjoyed it. The price was steep - $18. But was a skillfully crafted cocktail. The smokiness made itself apparent on the nose and then disappeared on the palette, making for an interesting and pleasant twist on a classic. The loaded baked potato with brisket was divine! Tender chunks of brisket atop a salt-crusted skin baked potato, filled with butter, cheddar, and topped with green onion was excellent! The pork ribs were succulent, slightly spicy, and seasoned to perfection. Coated and kissed with a tangy, tomatoey, veil of a sauce was SO GOOD! The pickled onions actually paired well with the flavors of the ribs and proved more than just to be pretty presentation. The sides, truffled potato salad, and Mac and Jack weren't bad, but not necessarily that great. Worth a try, but the rest of our order stole the show! Our waiter was great, I should have got his name. All of his suggestions and help were spot on. He was even a good sport with another table full of happy-go-lucky women and sang "Happy Birthday" to one of the ladies per their special request and to all of their delight. Anyways, this is a great modern spin on classic BBQ picks paired with fun cocktails, matched with kitchy, contemporary, old school Western atmosphere. read more

Third time have eaten here and third time have gotten an awesome. Wife had the loaded brisket baked potato. Said one of the best she has ever had. Was a large potato with a good size pile of smoked brisket on top. I had the Wagyu Smash burger which was very good. Comes with bacon jam on it. The patty was hand made and was very good and the bacon jam rounded out the enjoyment. The brisket queso dip and chips they make there was a great start to the lunch. Everything I have ordered at F1 has been very good and everyone else that have been with has greatly enjoyed their meal and have gone back multiple times since. Will go back again next time in that part of town and hungry. read more

Love everything we ordered, from the queso brisket dip to the classic Texas brisket. The sides are really delicious, we got the truffle potato salad and beans. They gave us extra chips since there were some dip left. The service was wonderful, they made sure our iced tea were always filled. Price is a little bit higher than other barbecue place but not that much. Ambiance is nice, you can hold a conversation without having to shout. read more

We started with a delicious dip and chips, and a couple of jalapeño corn dogs. The dogs seemed to have smoked sausage in them, which was good, but I didn't find any heat as far as spice. There were jalapeño slices served with the corn dogs. The crust could have been a bit crispier. I really enjoyed the Cobb Salad. Quite different. Wish I had a photo, but it's a very nice crispy fried chicken breast atop a thick slice of iceberg with dressing, tomato's, bacon, hard boiled egg. Very unconventional in its presentation but absolutely delicious. My companions mostly enjoyed their BBQ. There was a thick cut pork chop, a brisket sandwich and some sliced brisket. Service was excellent and the venue is quite comfortable, sleek. read more

These people took bbq and added just a touch of upscale, very unique execution. The decor is great for a bbq place, food was good, nothing to complain about when it comes to service. We walked in and were seated immediately without a reservation on a Sunday night. The bbq will not blow you away, especially with so many amazing bbq spots in DFW but it's certainly worth a try. I think this place would be great for a business lunch if you want to impress out of state clients with some TX bbq without having to take them to a hole in the wall to do so. read more

Good quality food in an upscale environment You could tell F1is still a relatively new restaurant trying to get its feet under itself. Many staff member came over to ensure our satisfaction throughout the meal. My cuban was okay, lacked a little meat and I could not taste the pickled onion. The broccolini had great flavor and was cooked well, but came in a small portion. This was a relatively expensive lunch, but may come back for special occasions. read more

It's the day before thanksgiving and some other places we found on yelp were closed. So this was our third choice, but I'm glad we ended up here. Apparently they have closed their clear fork food truck and opened this place a little over a month ago. The restaurant is medium sized, about 15 tables and a bar area. They had about 4 other parties when we arrived so it didn't feel too crowded, but not empty at the same time. It feels fancy, but it's not too over the top. They have cloth napkins, but no table cloths. It's nicely decorated--very modern. They even have a little fiddle leaf fig tree in the corner. There are a couple big screen TVs for sports and the bar area is nicely lit from the bottom of the counters. The chairs are comfy and slightly eclectic. It's a nice place! They have a hostess and a waiter and someone to refill waters. The service was great and our waitress was really nice and checked on us often. The food was also delicious and not crazy expensive. We ordered the wedge salad to share. It had some tomatoes and bacon bits. I thought it was pretty good and only $14. For entrees, my brother and I shared the Korean ribs and the prime rib so that we could try both. Both dishes were great. I kind of wish there was a different side for the pork. Maybe an Asian slaw or something. It also didn't come with a starch, which was ok because I had some potatoes from the prime rib plate, but just know if you only order the pork chop, it only comes with broccolini. The prime rib come with potatoes and broccolini. The prime rib was really excellent. I think a lot of places have stopped offering prime rib, but the prime rib here was tender and juicy and only $35! It had a nice au jus and a horseradish sauce that was perfectly horseradishy. Our waitress said all the desserts are great, but I had my eye on the berry cobbler already so she really didn't need to try very hard to sell us on dessert. It was perfect. It wasn't too sweet, it was filled with berries and had a light walnut topping and vanilla ice cream. Perfection. I'd definitely recommend F1 to anyone in Fort Worth wanting prime rib and/or cobbler :) read more

First time coming here. Javier was our server and was also training someone. We staryed out with the Loaded Tater Tots and Pepper Jack queso. Both quite tasty. Our party order the Classic Texas Beef Brisket, Baby Back Duroc Pork ribs. These were a little dry. I had the Korean style Double Cut Pork Chop. We were told by Javier it could be more on the spicy side. He was right. It was moist and the sauce had a kick to it for sure. Very tasty. Loved it even if I was sweating and my nose was running. A great dining experience with good food. read more

After driving around a bit aimlessly we landed at F1 hands down the best decision we could have made. Avery and every other staff person provided remarkable and attentive service, gave suggestions, and made sure we had what we needed from the time we stepped foot into the space. Upscale bbq is a unique and well executed concept in the space and having a smaller menu allows for it to be carried out impeccably. The exterior does no justice to the interior and the design is well done. We ordered brisket queso; chefs kiss, and the peach grilled chicken that was even better the next day. The cocktails were tasty as well. Already planning my next visit! read more

The pork chop, steak frites, and mac n cheese are delicious! The atmosphere is serving neon cowboy and I'm here for it! The service is always excellent. A yes for me every time ! read more

While some people may frown upon taking BBQ and giving it elegance, I feel this place is actually worth what theyre presenting (and charging). Walking in, I was struck by the beautiful interior design. It had a beautiful marriage of modern sleekness, while having just enough retro vibes to make it feel like I drunkenly stumbled back into an altered past. There were vibes of a 50s diner, but not in the traditional sense. There was a flair and brightness in the color palate, while never feeling gaudy or over the top. The Attentive and friendly staff were laying on their hospitality a little too thick for my taste, but it was right around 5pm, so it was much slower than a crowded Friday evening. They were pushing pretty hard for me to order alcohol, but none of their cocktails seemed unique enough to warrant a try. I didn't order a lot because I was prepared to go to a few other places that nice. The stack of ribs someone ordered next to me looked really good, but I had to stick with realistic portions as a solo diner. The fully loaded tots are fairly simple. Not as complex as I thought, but the cheese sauce they use coats the tongue really well. It was quite fascinating how much aftertaste power the cheese sauce had well after I was finished with the dish. The tots themselves were nice and crispy, even with the cheese sauce or my added ketchup on top. While I felt there could have been a few more tator tots, this was well executed as a sum rather than its parts. The brisket with broccolini and fancy plating of the bbq sauce. Probably the fanciest plating Ive seen for some bbq. The Brisket was tender, but it wasn't nearly as smoky as I liked. It did have a beautiful crust on the exterior. Amazing BBQ sauce! That stuff is divine! Had a smokey, savory, and a slight touch of chipotle to its profile that had me reaching for more sauce each bite. The broccolini was a delight! Fresh, seasoned, and cooked just right for this refreshing, firm texture. read more

SERVICE! Guys I keep saying how much quality service means to me when we pay so much to eat out these days... they did a fantastic job here. Yes, they were slow at the time, but they made us feel like VIPs by the way we were treated. The design of this place (inside and outdoor seating) is super cute, but it is relatively small, so if you want to come on a typically busy night, it might be wise to make a rezzo or you may end up at Chipotle to get your meat fix! I enjoy my booze as much as the next Texan, but sometimes I like to give my liver a break, so I ordered the Baja Lemonade. It was VERY tart, but still good and refreshing and not sweet, so I was happy, but there was too much ice! We ordered only appetizers for our meal, and they was more than enough for us! My favorite was the Mexican shrimp cocktail. GUYS... if you like bloody Mary's you will love this, not that it tastes like one. Haha. The sauce has such an amazing flavor and you can taste the fresh tomatoes and cilantro that combine to make such a delectable liquid. I could drink it with vodka over ice (reminder that foodies don't judge each other). I have an unhealthy obsession with truffles, so of course I had to get the truffle potato salad. It was delightful, creamy, and you could actually taste the truffle oil, but the potatoes were slightly undercooked; almost perfect. The deviled eggs were good. Just deviled eggs though, nothing wrong with them, but nothing special. I'm quite picky with nachos and don't prefer anything but shredded melted cheese on top, but these turned out better than expected! They were loaded with pork, so you didn't feel cheated, but instead super satiated by the end. I will definitely go back to dive into the meats more! read more

First time and we just had a fantastic experience at F1. They have an amazing Happy Hour with 1/2 snacks. These are hardly snacks. They could be stand-alone meals. Also, $7 signature cocktails and $5 house wines. Hard to beat that. Manny took great care of us! We tried four different snacks: the smoked guacamole, BBQ wings, pulled pork nachos, and the Mexican shrimp cocktail. All were wonderful. I particularly liked the wings, and my wife loved the shrimp cocktail. The GM, Alan, also stopped by to check on us. Lovely atmosphere (love the 70s rock). We look forward to coming back to try the main plates and brunch. Five stars! Highly recommend! read more

We tried F1 for the first time recently and can't wait to go back. We tried the Cuban which was awesome and the special of the day smash burger with Dr Pepper jam that was out of this world.

Want to add that we've been back and the second visit was as good as we remembered. read more

Yum. Still or sparkling water is not what you expect when sitting down at a BBQ restaurant. Sitting down to order is not what you expect at a BBQ restaurant. This is not a restaurant designed to meet expectations-- they take a food we know and love in a completely different, and welcome direction. Instead of ordering by the pound, F1 composes dishes and layers flavor. For example, I wouldn't have normally ordered truffle potato salad, but tucked under the brisket it was an amazing compliment... maybe my favorite bite of the night. We tried a lot, and each combination was a a surprise we passed around the table. Queso is topped with brisket, green chili and herbs. The cheeseburger has caramelized onions, bacon and Swiss with a giant pickle spear to cut the fat. The banana pudding comes with crispy flambé bananas sticking out the top. My drink was smoked table-side, but balanced by a honey stick in the glass. It was great, it was fun, and it was unexpected. Lastly, I'll note that this was night one for the restaurant... it is expected to have some hiccups in food or service, but everything was impeccable. Amazing, attentive and friendly service. I ate too much, but I'm happy. read more

Seating was comfortable with all the staff being attentive, courteous but never intrusive. Appetizers of shrimp cocktail and jalapeño sausage corndog were shared and plentiful for four. Delicious way to start. I had the pork chop that was perfectly cooked with a delicious Korean style sauce.
