My friends and I stopped by Trail Boss Burgers while hanging out in the Fort Worth Stockyards. While it's known as a burger joint, a few of us decided to change it up and ordered the Fried Catfish Basket (their take on fish and chips). The food was pretty decent! The catfish strips were rolled in cornmeal and fried well--nice and crispy without being overly greasy. The basket came with a side of fries and some jalapeno hushpuppies, which added a nice Texas kick to the meal. It's a massive portion, so you definitely won't leave hungry. SpotOn Order The atmosphere is pure Western charm, and if you grab a seat on the patio, it's a prime location for people-watching or catching the Cattle Drive. Service was quick and friendly. Overall, a great, casual spot to grab a solid bite and a cold drink with friends when you're in the area. read more

Waitress was Ivy. Polite, attentive, gave us time to decide. Checked in as needed. Started with the Fried pickles -- a bit too oily. 5/10. Came out within 5 minutes even though it was busy. That was impressive. Maybe let them dry a bit longer? My wife and I split The Wrangler . (lettuce, tomato, crispy onions, ranch) with fries. We skipped the tomatoes and ranch. Solid burger. 7/10. Fries were a bit on the oily soggy side. Fries were probably taken out the fryer a bit to soon. Can't have crinkle fries and not be crispy . Atmosphere vibe was Good spot to grab a beer, burger and hang out. Price: $36 even -- 2 drinks, fried pickles, burger, and fries. Overall: Worth stopping by for a casual burger. I'd come back for the burger and hang out with friends. read more

Great food! The Jalapeno burger is the best! Also the tater tots are fried to perfection. I have not had a bad meal at this place! My wife and I love it and go there often. read more

So we went to the Fort Worth Stockyards and decided to grab something to eat after the cattle show. It was 4 of us and once my food got to the table I was hungry and didn't get a chance to take photos of my food but it was a good burger, I had the buffalo meat blend burger it was well made but didn't have a real buffalo taste, but maybe that's the blend. I was told that they changed the patty from the original so that may be the reason. But besides that the fried jalapeños were a great appetizer as well as the cheese bites. Everyone else enjoyed their burgers. Now the restaurant has both a place inside and outside to eat at, we choose to eat indoors and it was well decorated with Stockyard and Texas history memorabilia. Definitely a place to check out if you are in the Fort Worth Stockyards area. read more

Tried it over Shake Shack. Wasn't any better or worse. Philly cheesesteak had virtually no flavor. Fries were ok. Strawberry milkshake was nothing to write home about. Food delivery was quick. Probably too quick. From order to table was 3 minutes. read more

Excellent food and service. Our server Edgar was friendly and efficient. Gave us great recommendations about what to order and things to do in Fort Worth. My husband said his Gaucho burger was one of the best burgers he's ever had. I loved my wrangler burger keto style as well. read more

This was our second choice due to Hookers being closed. Was it a viable option? Food-wise, yes. Price-wise, not so much. Service was good and food was good. Our server was attentive but not overbearing and our burgers and fries were very tasty. I would recommend the mushroom Swiss burger without hesitation. Prices were higher than at Hookers, but fries were included, so not too bad. The only complaint would be cleanliness. I understand the vintage appeal of the stockyards, but this place could definitely use a good cleaning. I felt like I needed to shower after we left there. The booth we sat in had torn seats, the plastic tablecloth was tattered and dirty, and the paint was peeling on the wood around the windows. Just felt icky. read more

Right inside the stockyards and it was a cute little spot to grab some lunch, the ambiance fit the old western theme perfectly! We both got burgers and they were delicious, the fries were amazing!

I definitely like the atmosphere of this place. It's in the 90° range today and they have plenty of fans running on the porch. I ordered just six wings and some fries for lunch. But what shocked me was the size of the wings. They're almost as big as a packet of sugar. Tiny, minuscule, Not a joke. Definitely not worth the price. But the sweet potato fries are generous and really good. read more

We were at the stockyards and were hungry. This restaurant was as good as any and we could get seated immediately. We were greeted right away. We got seated outside and could watch everyone walk by. We ordered fried mushrooms as an appetizer which was the best part of the meal. They were not overly breaded and seasoned perfectly. We shared some mild buffalo wings. These were ok, we have had better. They could have been fried just a little bit longer for my taste. We also shared their world famous buffalo burger. We were definitely not impressed with this dish at all. The tots were crispy and seasoned well. But the burger was just blah. Overall it was a below average meal. read more

We waited 30-40 muntes for our food. Multiple people sat down and got their food right away. For some reason our burgers took forever. The manager said it was a normal wait time but that didn't explain why people that were just sitting down got their food. The staff reflects the management at this place. If he don't care the other staff don't care. Shake shack is a 3 minute walk and you get your food in less than 10 minutes. Don't waste your time at this place. read more

So... Let me just say, I was not expecting this EXPERIENCE on a Tuesday night!!! We ordered fried pickles, sweet potato fries, the philly cheese steak, and the Wrangler burger because the philly was not quite big enough to share. I have so much to say, but I will try to be brief. Arturo.... Arturo... Arturo... He went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. He gave us an amazing history on the stockyards, the restaurant, and the food that we were about to indulge in! His customer service and attention to detail are impeccable. Now to the food... just wow! The quality of the ingredients on this burger was top tier. Meat and veggies were so fresh, and the meat was seasoned perfectly . The philly was tender and flavorful, and the bread was fresh, just small. He made my week, and I will be returning over and over. Fried mushrooms are next on the list!! Thank you Trailboss and Thank you Arturo and staff!!! You were all amazing!!! read more

If you're looking for a great burger, this is definitely a place to stop. The area is nice older very comforting, western seen. The Texas twister chips were really really good I ordered the free range burger and the egg was perfectly done and the bacon was perfectly cooked. Definitely great flavor. My girlfriend ordered the GAUCHO burger. Her exact words were yummy. Parking is definitely going to be an issue. There's different areas to park. The restrooms are very clean, but there is only one stall fir men and one stall for women. You might have a little weight. read more

I was told to head to the stockyards in FW if I wanted good steak and burgers, and I am a huge backyard burger type of person. We saw that Riscky's burgers had a short wait and we decided to stop in, and I have to say this was an excellent burger joint. Great service, and very good food. Definitely pride themselves on their burgers, and we will most likely be coming back here soon. The burgers are not over the top gourmet, but very simple type burgers. Can't wait to come back. read more

Buffalo burger is okay- wrangler burger is okay. Was looking forward to a memorable Texas Burger and definitely less than impressed. Have had better in chain restaurants. Definitely a tourist trap. Portions on sides are fine. My husband says he give his burger (wrangler) 8/10. Service was - BAD- 2/10. Had to ask waiter several times for mayo and ranch as he was too busy hanging out with the hostess to deliver what we asked for. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't return. read more

First time visiting the stockyards in DFW. It was extremely busy, but the restaurant was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The food was a little over cooked, but edible. The staff, ambiance, and patio were the best. We got to watch the cattle drive from the table, luckily the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. It's a good spot with average food and great service from what I experienced. read more

At the tail end of Stockyards, TraillBoss was really nothing special...my party dined in on a quiet Saturday afternoon and the service was good. We all ordered something different to try. Starting with the fried jalapeños and pickles. Now, those alone are 5 star! Especially the jalapeños, the absolute best. They were fried to perfection, weren't overly battered or salted and just down right tasty! For entrees I had a BLT which was pretty standard, nothing special. Wish the toast was actually toasted on both sides and that's all I have to say. The chili cheese fries were good. They satisfied my craving, but wish they put more chili & cheese on top. My fiancé had their brisket sandwich and he didn't really enjoy it. He said the meat was bland and dry. My sister had their chili cheese dog, which she liked. It was a good portion and picture perfect. However, her side of Mac & cheese was lacking. It tasted like kraft Mac & cheese straight out of the box...very disappointing. My best friend had their quesadillas and it was just sad...the taste was basic and it looked like something we could've ordered from Denny's... Considering the location, we were super disappointed. The prices were pretty high for basic food as well. It reminded us of Johnny Rockets but a lesser version...I'd say skip it and head to the bbq spot across the road! read more

Visited Fort Worth for the first time to watch the 4pm cattle walk and decided to get a beer and look if any of the restaurants in the area offered a plant-based option. To our surprise, this restaurant had an excellent veggie burger. My husband and I ordered one each with fries and a couple of beers. The server was very friendly and attentive. The outdoor seating area was very pleasant with big fans which helped with the flies that were around. It is a cattle area after all. We didn't have to wait long for our order. The veggie burgers were cooked perfectly, the fries were crispy and seasoned just right, the beers were very cold like we like them, and the price was reasonable. We enjoyed our meal and had a great time in Fort Worth. read more

Very cozy and authentic with the decor. Red plaid tablecloths and tin pan plates give that trail vibe. Served was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Food was on point! Cheese curds were a great combo of savory and spicy. Fresh patted burgers reminiscent of a cookout . Overall will definitely visit again. read more

Waited 30 minutes to get a table. Not a problem with that. There were several empty tables and we asked to sit closer to the entrance because we had a dog stroller but they told us it was reserved. Okay... sat us toward the back and took our order. And proceeded to wait. People sat down next to us and across from us and the table they didn't want to give us. They ordered and within minutes 10 minutes they got their food. We were waiting for 30 minutes! Then we asked the wait what was happening with our food. She said they were waiting on fries. Waited 5 more minutes and saw more food coming out to people who were seated after us. We decided to leave and complained to the manager. "That's a normal wait!" Then why were other people getting their food. He couldn't answer. What a waste of time! Walked over to Shake Shack and got our food in less than 10 minutes! read more

We took some out-of-state family here on the last day of their visit. We primarily were here for the 'real Texas experience' (lol) that my family wanted, but people get hungry and this establishment accommodated all 8 of us. We sat outside, which thankfully it was a lovely day. The food was okay. Nothing to write home about, BUT these were the cheapest burgers I've been able to get to since moving to DFW four years ago. I was floored that the burgers were $9-14, with a Buffalo meat burger being the $14 meal. If you find yourself in the tourist-trap that is the Cattle Drive, this will absolutely be the cheapest sit-down meal you can find. read more

My friend and I were lucky enough to catch the Cattle Drive, getting there early in the morning, and were looking for somewhere to cool off and get a good bite to eat! We didn't want to try something that already has a bunch of stores like Shake Shack or something, so we saw TrailBoss Burgers and decided to give a shot. First off, the environment is fun. Definitely blends in well with the overall decor and feel of the Stockyards. The place is also nicely air conditioned. The staff was beyond friendly and definitely went above and beyond, and are largely responsible for this place getting a 3/5 and not a 1/5. The food I got was the Philly Cheesesteak, Chili Cheesedog, Onion Strings, and Fried Pickles. The Fried Pickles and the Onion Strings were both pretty good, about expected and/or average. The Philly Cheesesteak was largely flavorless and the Chili Cheese Dog was beyond messy. Both of these are problems with the bread that was used. The bread was too rough so you had to squeeze out all the contents before you could take a bite, and just spilling everything anywhere. Also the bread was largely flavorless as well. Overall, this place was okay. Maybe if you're really dying for some finger food, but there are better options nearby! read more

Would give this place zero stars if I could. Walked in and asked to order takeout and they directed us to the bar and said we would be taken care of. Sat their for 10 minutes and no one acknowledged us or even looked at us. The place wasn't even busy! There was maybe 3 tables of people inside and I counted 4 workers standing around talking to each other instead of helping us. One even came behind the bar and refused to make eye contact with us then walked away. Completely ridiculous! We decided screw this and walked out before ordering and three of the workers standing by the door looked at us and didn't even say anything on our way out! Took our business to Riscky's BBQ instead which is way better anyways. If you are in the area head over to Riscky's and don't waste your time here. read more

Food sucked. It's a complete tourist trap. In my group, we ordered fried pickles, 3 burgers, a grilled chicken sandwich, 2 sides of fries, and a side of Mac and cheese. The only food that didn't suck was the fried pickles- and it's hard to mess those up. It took 30 min to get everything, and there were only maybe 5 other tables of people in the entire place. Don't go here, wouldn't recommend. read more

Got seated away, and we waited for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, we nobody even came to get our drink order. We were seated outside with workers just walking past us for 25 minutes straight, not a single one asking how we were doing or if we needed anything. We never even met our server. read more

I ordered the Stockyard French toast early on a Saturday morning - right when they open. They have outdoor seating in case you'd like some more open air. The food was decent, the food alone would probably earn it 3 stars. However, I didn't get what I ordered. Rather than the fried French toast - which sounded like it would be amazing - I got 3 slices of normal French toast and two sausage patties. I didn't get any hash browns. And I didn't get the Stockyard French toast. There was only one other customer in the restaurant, so I'm not sure how they could have confused the order. Also, when I initially asked for French toast, they initially told me they were out. They had to go back to check if they had any. I probably wouldn't eat here again unless I was stuck in this area and everything else was closed. read more

Delicious burgers! Cooked a perfect medium. Bison burger was juicy. Chicken fried steak sandwich was hot & crispy. Wings could have been spicier but just got extra sauce. read more

We got duped! If we knew this was part of the riscky's chain, we wouldn't have come. Came here for a quick bite and we were so disappointed. The sweet tea and service were good. Deep fried pickles were salty to the point that all you tasted was the salt. The burger I got must've been the cheapest meat you can buy. My wife had the country fried steak which was salty and nasty. It must've been the batter that made all the food salty. Do yourself a favor and stay away from all the riscky's restaurants. read more

We tried this place to see what all the hype was about, and we were kind of disappointed. The food was expensive for what it was. I ordered the Guache burger and my wife ordered the hot wings, and my burger came out lukewarm, and the fries seemingly undercooked. The flavor was ok but for the amount I spent I expected much much better. This was probably one of our least favorite restaurant experiences in the stockyards. The service was good though, our waiter was friendly. The atmosphere was also ok, very Texas themed, but the bathrooms were absolutely horrid. I'd recommend finding a different spot to eat at if your visiting the stockyards read more

The food is TERRIBLE bun was hard as a rock, meat tasted weird and the service was bad as well. They forgot to bring our drinks or check back to see if we needed anything. When we were ready we had to remind the server to bring us our check. read more
