Had high hopes for this restaurant since it had decent ratings. Deviled eggs tasted old, queso was yellow from a can, chicken tenders had weird breading, smoked turkey sandwich was inedible and we got it comped, my smoked chicken salad was bizarre, such odd dry chicken do not recommend. Don't recommend eating here as the food quality doesn't match the cost. read more

Visited for dinner on a Saturday night. Made reservations ahead of time to secure a table. Had a dozen oysters, the romaine wedge salad and steak frites (substituted fries for mashed potatoes). Everything was amazing. The oysters were a perfect size. The salad had a unique smoky flavor unlike anything I've ever had. The mashed potatoes were fluffy (but I thought the portion was small). Overall great service and great food. Sat upstairs and the room was a little loud, couldn't hear any music playing so definitely not a very intimate location if that's what you're looking for. read more

This restaurant was available when we couldn't get a table where we had planned to dine. We decided to sit at the bar for dinner. The bartender was super kind and helpful. The food was good, but not great. My husband said the fish was over battered. The grits on my dish were bland. The shrimp was more boiled and also bland. Everything looked great though and the restaurants was clean/nice. :) 4 stars for the bartender. I shan't return. read more

The ambiance of this place is amazing after sunset. In the day, it is a super cute place to dine as well. I have been a couple of times and every server I have had, has been extremely kind. The NY strip and steak frites is everything to write home about and the banana pudding was impeccable. read more

I've been meaning to check out Provender Hall and Clay Pigeon as I had heard wonderful things about chef Marcus Paslay and enjoy supporting local. Started out with a reservation to let them know ahead of time that we'd be coming for dinner. Valet was convenient and we were greeted at the door and seated almost immediately on the second floor. One thing I noticed upon being seated was that we had no silverware. It was a busy Saturday night, we could visibly see the other severs hustling to put together silverware and napkins for the guests. Our server Matt came by and took our drink orders and we also ordered a cornbread appetizer to start. The cornbread came out almost immediately by a food runner. Our drinks and silverware were no where to be found. After about 15 minutes, Matt came by and realized we needed some attention. He brought out a new appetizer as well as silverware. He also had the bar make our drinks. He apologized for the chaotic start, but was more attentive after that. This was not really Matt's fault as he also had a 15+ person table that he appeared to be working solo. Poor decisions on the floor managers behalf. I've had experience working in a restaurant and this seemed like a chaotic time for everyone involved. Drinks included a PH Old Fashioned, La Pinata, and Prairie Frappe. I'd recommend the La Piñata again. I ordered the steak frites. The chimichurri sauce on the steak was perfection and left me wanting more. My spouse ordered the shrimp and grits. The blend of spice and grits was soooo good. Both were excellent. Chef Paslay knows what he's doing in the kitchen -- unfortunately the rest of the experience took away from that. The vibe seemed to want to be upscale, but with concrete walls and floors, everything is loud and echoes can be heard throughout the restaurant. If you're looking for an intimate dinner or are wanting to celebrate and expect to have a conversation at your table without shouting, plan on coming here for lunch. Overall, I'd give the following ratings: Food: 5 Service: 3 Ambiance: 3 read more

If i could give zero stars, I would. My experience went from bad to worse within a few minutes. Drinks, terrible. Service, terrible. They were out of so many items on a Saturday night. Do yourself a favor, skip this spot and find something better. read more

The food was good!! There were a ton of negative reviews so we were worried. Flat iron steak with chimichurry sauce was legit. Steak cooked perfectly. Fries are solid and the service was great. And we are picky!! Our server, Javel, was knowledgeable about the area and gave suggestions on the menu and she was spot on!!! We will be coming back! Thanks for making a good note on our 20 year anniversary! read more

Sierra was awesome! It was happy hour and she let me taste my Pinot Grigio and it was great! For $5 I'm so happy! Alongside our liquor happy hour (ranch water and old fashions) drinks at this place is so reasonable We got the pimento cheese- freaking to die for, smokey, homemade and made with tasty cheddar cheese! We got the deviled eggs and they were super tastey but also had a bit of sweetness to it that I personally don't love but they were well seasoned and maybe if it was a sweet heat I would've loved em! The crispy chicken salad was split before it came to us which was such an awesome, thoughtful touch in the service! Sierra did such a great job checking on us and making sure we were well taken care of! Everything was so cute form the decor to the great tasting food and the good selection of $5 happy hour wine! The old fashion and the ranch water, both tasty and made well. The smash burger was FANTASTIC the chef is someone who appreciates seasoning and the flavors were THERE!! Bomb burger!! Highly recommend, would come back again and can't wait to try to corn bread and the chicken fried steak! Between the ambience, happy hour and good ass good that tasted scratch made this is a great place when they do it right! Very happy with our random stop at the stockyards read more

Food was amazingly big on taste flavors and garnished to perfect presentation in it's simplicity yet all the items seemed to be paired perfectly mixing in the pallet, while the service was Southernly Texas and the ambience was clean neat and cool smoked on a hot Stockyard day. God Blessed Texas!!! read more

We came to celebrate some milestones in my career and, unfortunately, we had a lackluster experience. We were quickly greeted and sat at a table on the second floor. Waters came out and drinks ordered without an issue. Then the troubles started. There was a delay getting our drinks after ordering them and then one of our drinks was incorrect, but not knowing how much longer it'd take for the drink to come out, we made do without it since we wanted to make a toast to celebrate. It was odd to have two different waiters, so we placed our food orders with a different waiter. The appetizers were good, we enjoyed cornbread and the pimento spread. Good thing we had cornbread since there were definitely not enough crackers. Our table got the chicken fried steak, which wasn't anything special. I think the frying could have done with less oil or leaving it out on a wire rack or something since the bottom was a bit oil laden. The gravy wasn't special, wish it had that cracked black pepper. It took some time, but we finally were able to flag down a waiter for salt and pepper, which was desperately lacking in everything. Our sides were unfortunately forgotten and we had finished about half the meal before another waiter stopped by to ask how the meal was, which when we mentioned the forgotten sides, he blamed it on the kitchen back up, which was interesting given the sheer emptiness of the restaurant. Another waiter came back later with the sides, stating he forgot to put it in the order, so he kindly comped the sides. All in all, wish we chose another place for the celebratory meal. read more

We went last week before a concert at Billy Bobs and chose based on menu and ability for reservations. We were sat right away which was great! Price of the drinks compared to what we received was not good. Whiskey sour was sadly mostly ice for $12. Food was good but nothing spectacular sadly. Service was not good at all. We waited for everything and our server never came back to run our cards luckily we had cash and we paid and left. Cool atmosphere and that's the best part! read more

The vibe at this place is fantastic. Lots of fun seating areas all throughout the restaurant too. I got deviled eggs as an appetizer which were so yummy and perfectly seasoned. Also for the fried okra and wow. They were full size okra which is different but buttery and perfect. Then I got the chicken fried steak. All just so good! Great beverage list too if that's your thing. The service was good. Maybe could check in more but still good. They did have empty tables even though the reservations were solid so still stop by! read more

Well, this is located in a pretty touristy area of Fort Worth at the Stockyards, so you just never know with restaurants in highly trafficked areas. But we were pleasantly surprised! The food, the service, the aesthetic inside, it didn't feel like you were in some quickly thrown together touristy spot. The food was delicious, our server was very attentive and friendly! read more

Lovely people watching on the patio and great service from Charles from Lake Charles! Ha. The food can be a little hit or miss but the cocktails here are outrageously good! You can order an alcoholic beverage to go and walk around and enjoy it at The Stockyards. Highly recommend you check them out. read more

Late lunch on a long holiday weekend. Seated in the spacious upstairs area, also seating outside and first floor. Charles from Lake Charles did a great job and recommended a few items. We enjoyed oysters, and each had a different salad. My grilled romaine with smoked chicken was very flavorful but I wish the chicken was a little more moist. Mango margarita was frozen and hit the spot as did the watermelon ranch water. The deviled eggs we ordered never got put in, but he brought us a complimentary order to share with our salads. Overall the service took a bit of time but we all agreed we would go back again. read more

They need a serious overall from ground up. I spoke with a manager at our visit so I won't get into all the details but I will tell you don't order the $16 burger that is a huge disappointment for value and quality. read more

Provender Hall is located right across Cowtown Coliseum making it super convenient for patrons who are catching rodeo afterwards. The restaurant has a casual vibe and it's very lively. The food and drink prices are still reasonable given the food quality and location. Service was quite slow. They took our drink order about 15 minutes or more after we were seated. The Manhattan and Whiskey Sour both tasted spot on. The gumbo could have been spicier but it had the southern cajun flavor that I was looking for. Venison tartare was delicious and they gave a generous portion. The Steak Frites was the star of the meal. Steak is marbled and flavorful, cooked perfectly to medium rare by our request. The frites were also crunchy and freshly made. read more

We had a great experience here tonight! We shared the fried green tomatoes with country ham appetizer, grated romaine salad with pork belly, grana padano cheese and balsamic dressing, steak frites (medium rare) with some of the best fries I've ever had, and side of braised greens with bits of meat (great flavor!). Everything was prepared well and tasty. But surpassing the food was the service, which was simply outstanding. And not just by our server but also several other team who visited our table and pitched in along the way. And the ambience is a fun atmosphere with two floors - main floor bar and small dining room downstairs with a few outdoor tables and an upstairs dining area with tall ceilings, exposed brick walls and open area to downstairs. Definitely a good spot to visit when you're at the Ft Worth Stockyards! read more

Provender Hall was just down the middle for me. It was a busy rodeo weekend Saturday in Ft. Worth and after a day of shopping in the stockyards area, we decided to grab a quick bite before heading to the rodeo. We didn't have a reservation, which I would recommend, but were seated at a table after promising we would eat quickly and free the table up for a reservation in just a little over an hour. The service was pleasant, but they were busy, so definitely a bit slow. I tried some of the skillet cornbread. It was good, but not great. I ate the steak salad, which was a bit overpriced ($30) in my opinion. The flavors did blend well together, but it was your traditional steak salad ingredients of greens, corn, red onions as well as cucumber and feta. Certainly a good spot to consider if you're in the stockyards area, and I imagine on a less busy weekend, that the experience would be on the whole a bit more of a comfort-food-like scenario. read more

The food is always amazing and the ambiance is great. It's a really cool location . Service is usually a solid B plus- when they're busy. An A+ when they're not. read more

Daughter and I are here to watch the cattle walk through the street and got hungry. We saw the menu included fried green tomatoes and decided to try them. We were quickly seated. The waitress came to our table with a minute and was friendly. Once we read the menu more we decided to share the deviled eggs, pimento cheese and egg sandwich. We also tried the hibiscus margarita. We both disliked the margarita. There was any hibiscus flavor in the drink it was overwhelmed by the alcohol. Loved the deviled eggs. Daughter suggested eating them with the radish. And we put the pimento cheese on our egg sandwich with Crystal C hot sauce. Super yummy. Then we tried the chocolate cake and asked for the pecans to be removed. It is very casual with the sitting on the second floor. It looks like a warehouse... concrete, brick. The chairs were very, very uncomfortable. read more

Provender Hall. When I first heard the name I thought "okay, another bar in Mule Alley, another Stockyards spot with a name referencing something that probably has to do with livestock (google to check), yep. They'll definitely have standard drinks and basic 'cowboy' bar food. Another standard saloon!" Happily, I was quite wrong. I didn't realize at first that Marcus Paslay is the guy behind this spot (he also owns Piattello Italian Kitchen and Clay Pigeon) -- so there was no way Provendar's menu could be boring or bland. Also, I wasn't giving the Stockyards the credit they deserve for having opened several new spots over the years that are more thoughtful and modern in their menu and design, and able to draw in a fresh crowd. Paslay calls it a "Texas-style brasserie." First of all, the space is beautiful. Lots of light, greenery, high open ceilings, tall windows, modern furniture... a cool breezy staircase that leads to a huge second floor space that's flooded with light and exposed brick walls, perfect for large groups and meetings. After taking ourselves on a little tour, Jon and I sat downstairs at the small bar that opens to the front patio (which connects to the main bar inside). Fun. You can get a drink here in the official Stockyards' to-go cup and walk all around with it to other spots (as long as you stay on the bricks). Even more fun. While Provender Hall has a really beautiful cocktail menu that I cannot wait to get back to, this visit I just wanted a simple vodka grapefruit. Here, a simple vodka grapefruit is made with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and a little splash of Richard's Sparkling Rainwater. I'm pretty picky about my sparkling water, but Richard's Rainwater is now at the top of my list. I tried a little on its own and it has that bold bubbly bite I like! Jon had a classic old fashioned and said it was "perfect." Our bartender was wonderful and helped us decide which other Stockyards' spots would be best for a night out, depending on what we're looking for. Sadly we already had lunch by the time we made it here. Next time we'll order food, for sure. I'd call the menu something like "upscale Southern comfort food." Everything is beautifully created and plated, just scroll through pics here of deviled eggs, crispy okra, fried green tomatoes, gumbo, grilled trout, fresh oysters, olive oil poached shrimp, flat iron steak with chimichurri... I saw a menu on Yelp marked with gluten free options and it looks like they're super accommodating. read more

Service was atrocious- we stood at the takeout drink bar for over 15 min without service so we moved along but later came back to sit at the bar and eat. We were not acknowledged for 20 min and then had to ask to order and ask to get the check because no one checked in at all. Food was overpriced and nothing special. Inappropriate language was heard being used in front of us from staff. read more

Visited the Stockyards on a Saturday just in time for EVERYDAY HAPPY HOUR: 2-6pm + OYSTER & AVIATION GIN HAPPY HOUR: Friday & Saturday 2-6pm.

HIBISCUS MEZCAL MARGARITA: Sombra Mezcal, Hibiscus, Violet Crown Elderflower Liqueur, Lime Juice, Agave *opted to do a swirl of both to go, I was confused on the size and price because some people received large cups and others received small cups, very tasty and easy to slurp down SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE: The interior is super modern and liquor options are extensive. There were only two bartenders and the line for to go cocktails was extremely long. We ended up sitting at the bar after waiting in line for some time and enjoyed taking a break from walking in the hot sun. read more

Dinner last night. Our server was great but the kitchen did not excel. Crispy chicken salad had two missing elements. The turkey club was mainly bread, one piece of bacon and the turkey was so salty as to be inedible. The fries were generously provided but soggy. The drinks were the only highlight of the night. Underwhelming. read more

Highly recommend a visit to Provender Hall! The food, service and vibes were all outstanding. I had the chicken fried steak and it might be the best version I've had yet! The steak and breading were seasoned well. Great crunchy exterior and I ate the whole thing. Our server was so kind, gave us great recommendations and really added to the whole experience. We made reservations about 3 days in advance. There was pretty limited time slots so be sure to book early! read more

This is a nice find in Cowtown on Exchange street. Definitely a nice change from the usual BBQ or steak houses in the area. They used to have a venison tartar app that certainly got our attention and was unusual for DFW but excellent. We ate at the bar next to two cowboys and had a great time. The next time we came back, we reserved a table. The ambiance upstairs was nice. I had steak and frites which had a good steak, tender and cooked to order. Good food and drinks and we'll go back for sure. read more

Upon walking in, the service was really nice. The hostess had fun conversation with us while walking our group to the table which I thought was a nice, honest touch. The menu is a bit small, so make sure you review it prior to going so you know you'll like at least one of the options. We got chicken fried steak, very good, and red fish, also very good. The pimento dip is a good appetizer, and make sure to try the mashed potatoes! We were sat upstairs along the banister. I liked the moody, country vibe it had up there. read more

Terrible experience. 1. They were out of most food items when we tried to order 2. Service took forever 3. When we finally got our food they dropped it off and ran away and didn't check on us the remainder of the evening 4. After waiting for 5 minutes I just had to grab my own silverware as they did not provide us with any 5. The food was horrible, absolutely no flavor on the chicken fried steak It's a shame that after all they have done to revitalize the stockyards this place is wasting space. Take your business elsewhere. read more

Fun spot right in the heart of the FW Stockyards! Trendy and modern with fabulous food, drinks and service. The Romaine Heart salad was the perfect balance of hearty, sweet and savory. Such generous portions that I asked for a larger plate and could only finish half! We had a perfect window spot for people watching. Great experience and we will be back...with friends! read more
