We stopped in for drinks and appetizers at a conference mixer. Sat at the bar and had excellent service. The slider and meatball appetizers were good. I enjoyed my flights of scotch and bourbon. Thought the Oban 14 was smoother than the McAllen 12 scotch. My wife enjoyed her shrimp and grits and rated it a 9/10. Fun, casual setting. read more

Sometimes the best meals are the ones you stumble into. We wandered into Little Red Wasp on Main Street, lured in by a lively crowd and a menu that split the difference between brunch and lunch. A promising sign on both counts. We opened with a cocktail from the bar, which set a high bar for what followed -- unfortunately, not everything cleared it. The Deviled Eggs with Spicy Best Maid Pickles arrived looking the part, four to an order, but tasted like they'd forgotten to show up to their own party. Bland, flat, and in desperate need of seasoning, we reached for the salt shaker, which helped, but shouldn't have been necessary. The pickles, to their credit, were doing their absolute best and were genuinely the only flavor happening on that plate. Skip these. The pickles deserve better supporting cast. The Cheeseburger with Wasp Sauce on a potato bun, however, is a different story entirely. We ordered it medium, half expecting the kitchen to interpret that however it pleased, but it arrived cooked exactly as requested, which felt like a small victory worth celebrating. The Wasp Sauce is a mystery worth solving, and the house-made chips that come alongside are fresh, crisp, and dangerously snackable. Pro tip: order a side of ranch for dipping. You're welcome. We also added a side of fries, which were equally excellent. No notes. Little Red Wasp has real charm, great energy, a fun bar, and a cheeseburger worth crossing Main Street for. Just steer clear of the deviled eggs and order the chips with abandon. read more

I almost never give reviews that are this slow, but we were here for the sweet 16 staying at the hotel across the street and this place looked really cute so we stopped in immediately upon walking in the front door. We were assaulted by garbage stink and it looked like there was some sort of mechanism to maybe take the garbage down but it's right inside the front door and it smelled horrible. Then we sat down to eat food and it was less than desirable everything kind of had a weird kick to it like the meatballs had a ton of fennel in them and that's all you could taste. I was just completely underwhelmed by all of the food. I will say the service was great, but we felt like we had wasted our money. I'd find somewhere else downtown to eat. read more

Second visit in the last 6 months and had an even worse experience than my first trip. First of all, this place smells like sewage is leaking. It smells so bad no matter where you sit, something is very wrong. Second the $17 cheeseburger was just plain bad, it looked like a frozen patty about 1/4lb and was only served with chips. Third, we arrived at 5:35 and the waitress told us happy hour just ended so I thought oh it must have ended at 5:30. No big deal, open the menu and it said Happy Hour till 6pm! Asked the waitress she said, I did not know what time it was. Just skip this place completely. Side note, another group of 4 came in and sat in the booth in front of us, they couldn't handle the smell and left after getting water. read more

The ambiance is nice and cozy. I ordered a blood red margarita. Although it wasn't blood red, it was ah-mazing! I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and I was in heaven. My husband ordered the fish and chips and I was jealous because that was really good too. Our waitress was always checking in without being overly annoying. The place is on the pricey side but so worth it! Definitely perfect for much needed date nights. (Also, soda is by the bottle. No free refills, but my husband and I enjoyed our cocktails read more

The smell in that restaurant is absolutely disgusting. It smells like sewage when you walk in the front door and it's been like this for over two years. This spot is in a great location and the food is honestly not that bad, but we stopped eating there because of the smell. When asking the staff...they blame it on plumbing below the building and say there's nothing they can do which in my mind is unacceptable. The first couple years that this restaurant opened the smell was fine, and now it's bad. Someone needs to take ownership and fix it! read more

Will return for good service and foood. High ceiling, brick walls, booths and tables. The only down side is - two tv monitors are bid small but again, this isn't a sports bar and my aging eyes are on the decline. Wait time was minimal. Server did an excellent job answering questions and guiding our dining choices. Service was prompt with food pleasantly presented and still warm. Might try something else on another trip. read more

Brunch is a must here at Little Red Wasp. Located in the Sundance Square of downtown, this spot is a bit of a diner slash cafe slash quirky spins on everyday favorites type of place. There's also a full bar with lots of signature creative cocktails. Like I said, this place can offer some serious brunch vibes, as well as a laid-back lunch or fun date spot. read more

Will return for good service and foood. High ceiling, brick walls, booths and tables. They were willing to change one tv to French Open tennis - thank you very much. The only down side is - two tv monitors are bid small but again, this isn't a sports bar and my aging eyes are on the decline. We've Kale salad and Ruben - both are good. Getting there at the tight time, it was only half full. By the time we almost done, it became full: the convention attendees are pouring in for their lunch. We would sit a little longer to watch Joao Fonesca's defeat of Pierre-Hugues Herbert, but when the girl came by, asking if we need anything, we asked for the bill. She said ok and then proceeded to take the cream and sugar away. The manager (?) told her not to do it quietly and she put them back - I appreciated this kind gesture - thank you. read more

Super cute place within walking distance from just about anywhere downtown. I had a tight meeting scheduled so I ordered their lunch Cobb to go from the bar. The bartender that took my order was very nice and the meal was prepared and packaged in about five minutes. When I got it back to my room, it was quite delicious. I look forward to dining in during a future visit to Fort Worth. read more

Though I wouldn't recommend the business, I will say the food was not bad. I had the reuben but make no mistake, it wasn't a traditional reuben, or even close. Maybe two ingredients were reuben ingredients but the rest was the restaurant's interpretation. That being said, the sandwich wasn't bad; it's just more than I would like to pay for a flaired-up corned beef sandwich. There was ample meat, no concerns there. As for service, our server was great. The guy that seated us was the furthest thing from pleasant. He was so off putting that if I wasn't with a group, I'd consider leaving, which I never do. I wouldn't go back - not because of the greeter but he was certainly part of it. If you're hungry and don't want to go far from the hotel you're staying in, this place would suffice, but I absolutely wouldn't purposely seek it out. read more

Walked after reading good reviews but had a terrible experience. Our party of 3 was met with a questionable welcome, a timid server, and a fishy smelling, humid room. The virgin pina colada would've been a wonderful start to the meal but 5 pm on a Friday they were out of the mix . We should've left then! Room temperature soda bottles and glasses of water. Rueben sandwich was okay, a bit bland. Chips were crispy but tasted of oil from frying. I had hoped it would be a fun place but it must've been too early. I don't think I'd even give it another try. read more

Had a few hours to kill between dropping off the car and grabbing our train to Austin, so decided to explore the area. Little Red Wasp caught our attention right out the gate with its stylish facade and sidewalk seating, so we decided to grab lunch. Service was friendly from the moment we walked in. We were seated quickly and when we asked about nonalcoholic beer, were very impressed that they had a number of options to choose from! The menu isn't huge, but it's surprisingly thorough with something for just about anyone. My husband was craving something fried; meanwhile I was feeling a unique salad. Lo and behold, we found both and they were excellent. For being right in downtown Fort Worth near the convention center, you really can't beat the location, not to mention the price, service and quality. read more

This place has a cool fun vibe. Was very busy on Friday lunchtime because of the main street art festival. I sat at the bar and had good service. The Brisket Potstickers are amazing! I'd come back just for that. The Cheese Burger was just meh. Nothing special. I opted for the Green Beans instead of house chips and glad I did. Beans were very good. Downtown parking is a challenge. read more

Honestly don't understand how this restaurant has 4 stars. Our group made reservations at LRW since it is close to the convention center where we were attending an event. The fish and chips were dry and fried unevenly. At least the fries were decent. Definitely not worth the $31 price tag. Have you ever seen an anemic chicken fried chicken? That's what we were served. The fry on the chicken was so pale, and the mashed potatoes with gravy taste was bland. The Brussels sprouts tasted like they were microwaved, not freshly roasted. They weren't crispy at all and were soaking in liquid in the bowl. The spaghetti meatballs taste like cheap freezer meatballs that you get from a grocery store. I think this restaurant survives alone on hotel guests and convention center attendees. Overpriced and underwhelming. At least the service was fine. read more

So decided to do a follow up on this place. Had the shrimp roll, the green eggs and ham and the bread pudding. Service was first class and love the ambiance there. It was a low key Sunday for us. Green Eggs and Ham had an amazing flavor that was balanced well with the cheese and the avocado. The Shrimp Roll was VERY fresh and very good flavor. The Bread Pudding was very good and the pecans in the bourbon caramel sauce was very good. read more

First off, I want to say we went here several years ago and it was great, hence why we returned. That food was no longer available, so we went with different options. We got a side salad with chicken that was $22. OUCH. It was so small! And we got a burger for $17 and the bun was bigger than the meat. What a disappointment as the meat looked like it belonged on a kids meal or from McDonalds, again for $17! What a joke read more

It smells like sewer gas or something bad when you walk in. Service was not impressive. They were not busy but they kept using that excuse when we had to wait for server to bring ketchup and then water, etc. First server knew what cider was and what the restaurant had. So I had to order it at the bar. Food was ok. Reuben and brisket French dip. Won't be back. We will try the other restaurants next time we are here. read more

Can't say much about the vibe of this place since we ordered for takeout. We found this place through google maps and it was literally right by our hotel, so my husband went and picked it up. We ordered a few things: - Deviled Eggs: good, they did not skimp out on the filling. - Donut Holes: a nice little sweet treat after our meal. -Reuben: my husband said it was good. -Salmon & Lox Bagel: this was good too, but I've had better elsewhere. Overall, the food was good, we'll keep this restaurant in mind next time we're in town. read more

Upon arrival, there was a faint odor resembling old cleaning water. The vent near the host stand had condensation on it, and a water droplet fell on my head. This issue definitely needs to be addressed. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich for my meal which was tasty but definitely not worth the $19 price tag. The chicken was well-seasoned, and the slaw, sauce, and jalapeños made for a great combination. The meal comes with house-made chips, which were just okay. We initially got an old batch that wasn't crunchy, but our waitress noticed this on her own and promptly brought us a fresh batch straight from the fryer. While I enjoyed my meal it's nothing that I plan to return to order again. read more

Wow, what amazing service! We called because I was craving an "Irish Benedict", and I saw a picture similar online but didn't see it on the online menu. Jason (manager) assured us they could "make it happen". A short walk from our hotel, sat down and told our waitress, Stacy, what I wanted. Jason came to the table, asked for details; and a few minutes later, was an AMAZING Benedict, exactly how I wanted it. The Hollandaise is amazing (and anyone knows you judge a Benedict by the hollanda Top notch everything! read more

This place is always a good choice Downtown. It's a pretty small menu but everything I've tried here is yummy.

Service is consistent and attentive, and the vibe is chill and laid back. read more

I had the opportunity to eat at Little Red Wasp during a work trip. I would actually give them 3.5 stars. The customer service was excellent, every server was pleasant, and the bar tender did a good job making all our drinks. The reason why I didn't give them higher stars is due to the appetizer ls simply not being or tasting very good. We tried the pot stickers and the deviled eggs, and I would not recommend ordering these at all. I ordered the scallops meal for dinner, and that was excellent. It was cooked perfectly, and I would recommend trying this delicious dish. The portions for the meals were relatively small, with the exception of the chicken dish. This restaurant is a nice date night restaurant and I would recommend going just for drinks instead. read more

Great food and service! Will definitely be back. I had a grilled cheese and tomato soup, which was perfect for a blustery fall day!

Food was mediocre for the price. I don't like to eat eggs on my toast so I moved them to the side which revealed a super thin layer of avocado mash that more resembled guacamole than a nice avocado spread. You can get more avocado on toast at coffee shops for less $. The layer of ricotta was also super sparse as you can see in the photo. The sourdough toast was soggy and lacked integrity/crunch perhaps because it was sliced kind of thin compared to others I'm used to. The chicken on the chicken biscuit was probably the best thing we ate because it was hot, crispy, and had good flavor - the biscuit was underwhelming and the gravy was not hot - parts of the gravy came out warm and others were barely warm which made it congeal and get cold quite fast. The taste of the gravy also left something to be desired. read more
