Poor service and parking led to the demise. Great food. Sorry Jon. This could have been much more.

I stopped in with my Mom when we were out shopping and were a little snacky. It's a nice casual place with several seating options and lots of TVs for sports. Staff were friendly and working together to serve us. It was their Happy Hour and a Tequila Tuesday so I went for a House Margarita ($7) which was good. We got the CORN DOG NIBBLERS ($12) that are served with Green Chile Queso & Bonnell's Chili. We really enjoyed this. My Mom can't do any spice (which is why we chose this item) so she didn't eat the queso but was able to enjoy the chili. We also got a regular order of SWEET POTATO FRIES. They were really good. Portion was big so she had leftovers to take home. We're looking forward to going back to try some of their BBQ & delicious looking burgers. Read the Info about the business on yelp or their website. I didn't do so until now but it's interesting and good to know! Kudos Bonnells! read more

Jon's is a good place for dinner. We usually get a baked potato with brisket or the bbq plate. The brisket is usually a winner. The milkshakes are good too. The staff is usually nice and and it's a fun place to go watch a game. We enjoy the place and think more people should give it a try. Many nights we go and it is not busy at all. It should be packed. The prices are not bad either and it's open late. read more

Stopped in today for lunch, the place wasn't super busy. Great variety on the menu. If I could rate this place 3.5 I would simply because the turkey on my club (while having great flavor) was pretty dry. Definitely make sure you add some sort of condiment if you choose to order that sandwich. The man had the smokehouse burger which he said was phenomenal. Service was very friendly and attentive. Vibe was laid back and chill. read more

If you're looking for a great spot right next to TCU, you have to check out Jon's Grille. It's become a total tradition for my family--we love to stop by every single time we're in the area visiting my sister at college. Honestly, I have never had a bad experience here. The vibe when you walk in is amazing, and everyone is so friendly there that it just feels like home. It really does the job when you want a solid, reliable meal. I absolutely love the BBQ sandwiches, and the mac n cheese has a great smoky taste that you don't find just anywhere. There is so much to choose from on the menu and lots of meats to pick from, so everyone in the family finds something they love. Their plates are amazing, but there's still so much more I want to try. If you're in Fort Worth, this place is a must! read more

Jon’s Grille - The Pedro - Burgers Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

First time here ! Nice atmosphere! It was my first time here. I stopped in for some burnt ends and a burger. I got talked into the burger of the month. It was topped with Asian slaw. I should have just got the regular burger but I finished all of it because the beef was good and juicy. The burnt ends were over cooked and I didn't finish all of them. The sauce wasn't that great either. I'll give this place another try in the future. read more

I remember this spot as the Aardvark from my TCU days, so I was surprised to see a restaurant when we went down to visit. This spot had good (deserved) reviews, so we decided to check it out. Think sports bar with elevated selections. This is definitely not your typical wings and pizza spot: the burgers are great and their milk shakes are to die for. The cobbler and s'mores shakes were both delicious and truly a highlight of the meal! I was sold on the featured burger/burger of the month, which was a Hawaiian style burger with grilled pineapple and teriyaki, plus the usual fixings. Overall it was tasty and the fries were good. We had started with some chips and queso which were also a pleasant surprise. I tend to set the bar low for sports bar queso, but this was honestly so good we ordered a second round. Our server was truly amazing: she helped us make our selections (all her recs were superb) and also hooked us up with a larger bowl of queso on our second order. Parking was the only "issue" per se as there really isn't a lot of available space behind the restaurant. We ended up parking on a side street nearby. Overall, this was a fun night with some good food. Would definitely stop by again! read more

I ate here a few times and their food was above average for a college bar. The St. Louis ribs are indeed good. The Finger lickin platter is supposed to feature their best, but they removed the burnt ends. The Dude is a decent burger. Their staff is good, especially Emily and Avery, who were just great behind the bar. I'm sure I'll be there again, when I have to go to Ft. Worth again. read more

Great sports bar. Menu has something for everyone. Located very close to TCU so great place before or after sports events.

The food is overpriced grease a step up from McDonald's. Staff only came by once and were not welcoming. The ambiance is a old bar vibe. I can imagine college kids go here after being drunk cause that's the only way it'll taste good. read more

Frank was an incredibly patient server. I like the sports bar vibe and it's super chill. Food was very good at good price. Shoutout Jon!

Awesome location! Fantastic service, each and every time that we have visited! Fantastic food from Jon Bonnell! One of the best sports bars in Fort Worth! Fantastic appetizers! Great burgers! read more

We really enjoyed Jon's Grill. My husband's bbq wasn't as fresh as it could have been, but honestly he probably wouldn't have realized except there was some really good mixed in with the bad. He decided that next time he'll order it sliced instead of chopped. My salad was wonderful. The service was good. The bar was fast getting drinks out. There were plenty of TVs on. All in all, a really fun night. read more

A friend recommended this for burgers. We tried it and they were so right. I really like a good burger with good toppings. You know what is better? An amazing hamburger patty with great toppings. This was one of THOSE burgers. I can't recommend it enough. Next up- their brisket salad. Yum read more

5 Stars across the Board, Great Food, Service,Atmosphere. We had the BBQ Plate with Brisket, Burnt ends which were absolutely perfect our sides were Mexican elote and sweet potatoes fries everything exceeded expectation we started off with the Trainwreck appetizer which consisted of Housemade Fries, Tortilla Chips, Queso, Chopped Brisket, Jalapeños, Scallions & Cilantro. We enjoyed a Margarita and Balconces during the meal. Guys it just doesn't get much better than this we split the platters and brought some home. For what most places are charging for brisket nowadays this absolutely the most reasonable best tasting I've had in quite some time. read more

Nice bar and restaurant with large seating areas and family-friendly spaces. Super friendly staff and good service. The food was fresh with tender cuts of meat and nice Rye bread. My favorite was the burnt ends... love the flavor!! Chips and queso were good and the salsa was amazing! (It is spicy!) I was excited to try out this spot from some recent reviews on a FB foodie group and I would return to try more. Tips: parking sucks, but worth a short walk if you park on the residential street a few blocks away. read more

Jon’s Grille - I recently tried the brisket and it was fabulous. Bea delivered great service. Queso fries were fantastic too. - Burgers Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This place was one of the best burgers we've ever had. We started with the burnt ends which were great and had the queen of the south cocktail which which was good too. We sat at the bar and our server was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. It was a Monday afternoon on spring break so very quiet but it was a sports bar kinda vibe so I can see it being fun and busy if there's a game on. So then we had the grilled chezburger flatty but added bacon and it was soooo good. The Munster cheese melted perfectly and the garlic smoked serrano aioli gave it a little heat but not too hot because I don't do super spicy. The flavor was unreal! The lettuce and tomato were fresh and had that crunch and the bacon was cooked perfectly too. The hand punched fries were great also good seasoning and cooked well. We would definitely come back here read more

Had been wanting to try for a bit and took the opportunity while out in Fort Worth on Saturday 1/25/25... When we walked in we were greeted and told to sit anywhere... Big open space with mix of high tops & low tables... we chose a high top and although it did take a bit for someone to bring us menus and take our drink order, no big problem. We chose to get fried pickles for an appetizer which was a great choice... fried perfectly and the spicy ranch was a great dipping sauce. For our meal I had the recommended Grilled Chzbrger and my daughter had the Cowtown Clucker. Both came with 'hand-punched' fries, which were awesome. The sandwiches were big and cooked on point. Each were topped with a Serrano lime aioli which had a somewhat unexpected kick, but definitely a nice flavor. Wait staff was helpful with recommendations and extremely friendly. We enjoyed our lunch and will definitely come back to try other offerings. read more

My family and I visited Jon's Grille last night and the experience was truly amazing. The food was great, the service even better. Ken was our waiter and he was very attentive, personable, and made sure everything was just like it should have been. The Next time we are visiting Fort Worth, we will surely be back. read more

I stopped by this spot for a late dinner with my friend while staying by TCU. It was pretty empty around 9:30 PM on a Saturday. The waiters were super friendly and we were able to pick out whichever seats we wanted. There were seats by the bar, high top seats, and lower general style seating. I ordered a brisket sammich with onion rings. The sandwich was packed with brisket to the point that it was falling out. They provided onions and pickles on the side as well. The plate was packedddd with a mountain of onion rings. They were super thin and crispy, they tasted like fries. Overall, the meal was super yummy! read more

My two friends and I had lunch at Jon's cafe on Tuesday. We greeted warmly upon entering and told we could seat anywhere. They have quite a few high tables, and several low/regular tables. We had great service. He gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted to order. We started with the Ric-rolled Poppers. I ordered the Mamaw's Pralines milkshake. We had the Panther City Fatty burger, brisket sandwich, and sliced brisket and burnt ends. Everything we ordered was outstandingly delicious! Parking was the only issue we had, but it is located in the TCU area. read more

Good food, good service, and supporting locals at the same time! A friend told us about Jon's Grille a few weeks ago and it ended up on my need to visit list of restaurants. After understanding the history, it's easy to understand why the burgers and brisket are so good. The option to have a fatty or a flatty (thick 1/2lb or 1/3lb smash) is also a welcomed one. We tried the Panther City burger and smoked chicken salad, a side of Mac & cheese with candied bacon and a pie of the day shake! While the shake did take a good chunk of time for it to arrive at our table, it was IMPRESSIVE. It includes a slide of their pie (we did German chocolate) in a huge glass drizzled to the nines with chocolate syrup. The service was also excellent, which feels like a rare occasion these days. Will definitely return for more milkshake goodness and also interested checking out Bonnell's steakhouse. Thanks for a memorable experience! read more

The ambiance is top notch and has plenty of TVs to watch as many games as you need, but that's about where the good things end. They've got a great wide selection of beers, but you're going to have to wait 30 minutes to get it after you order. Their food menu is straight to the point and provides solid options, however, you need to make sure the food is cooked. We had a chicken sandwich that was basically still clucking. The burger options are great, but the patties may come from Ronald the clown himself. This was a 10pm visit so it may not be fully representative. Overall, I think I am willing to give Jon's another try, but a better showing is needed for further patronage. read more

Jon’s Grille - The Dude. - Burgers Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I did a double-take when I heard that there was a new iteration of Jon's Grille near campus. Naturally my curiosity demanded further investigation, so we opted to stop in at Jon's for halftime during the TCU vs OU game. For TCU alumni who do not know yet, this new Jon's is in the space that once housed the Aardvark (RIP) and is helmed by Fort Worth restaurateur Jon Bonnell of Bonnell's/Waters/Buffalo Bros fame. This is the perfect place to watch a game and make no mistake, it is a sports bar. TVs adorn all the walls and the menu is really focused on the burgers and sandwiches. One feature we really liked was how the outdoor seating was first come, first serve, you just walk in. This is a benefit was the indoor dining area had a 30 minute wait and there was plenty of space "on the rail" as the Bonnell staff call it. For Saturdays in October, Bonnell's is a great place to be as much of the space is open air due to the sliding garage doors as well as the accordion windows. In or out, Spring and Fall will be nice here. Now being a Bonnell venture, expectations were high on the food. We started with the bacon burnt ends for the appetizer and we quickly gobbled them up. For lunch, My brother opted for the Patty Melt and I ordered the Best Maid Chicken Sammich. Both were great. The Chicken Sammich was crispy and tender with that soft bun keeping it all together. So I think the new Jon's is a welcome addition to campus as on gamedays the handful was restaurants in walking distance fill up so quickly. I plan to come back to try out more of the menu, specifically the burgers. If you haven't tried it yet, go enjoy some lunch in the cool October air. read more

My burger was great! The bartender was friendly/ attentive and the Miller Lite draft was ice cold. Great place to go!

Only my second time here but definitely my last. Walked in with a few friends on a Tuesday night and there were only 3 tables filled. The same waiter who served us a few weeks prior was standing on the other side of the room just staring at us. We waited for about 20 minutes as we watched him check on the other table and walk out of sight TWICE and both of the bartenders disappeared. Every time he came back out, he stood in the same spot and just stared at us. No introduction, no drinks, nothing. I've seen bad service but no service at all is crazy. Save your time and go to Buffalo Bros across the street... Or literally anywhere else. read more
