This restaurant used to be a great place for seniors to go and have decent food until they doubled their prices. They priced out a lot of seniors on fixed incomes. The food is the same but the prices are not. Soon after their prices went up and long-time customers fell, they did start offering Senior Discounts, but did not do much for a lot of the seniors mentioned. Now they are opened up for breakfast and lunch only. The clientele are much younger now. I wonder why a lot of the Veteran photos are few and far between. Humm... I recommend Cracker Barrel. It's pretty much the same price and better quality food. read more

I've been to this place all my life and they have never let me down! They make great food and great dessert!

West Side Cafe is the best for breakfast. When I worked in west side area, I always stopped at West Side for breakfast. They also serve lunch and dinner. I recommend this place for breakfast. read more

This is a gem in the rough. This place is not impressive from the outside but there is a reason the parking lot is always full. The tastes great and is inexpensive. I got an order of French toast and it was wonderful. I wish they had used thicker bread for the French toast. The breakfast burrito was big but unimpressive. It was simple two eggs and sausage inside a burrito. The steak was tender and not seasoned. read more

Love this old style diner with all-day breakfast & a well-seasoned crew & customer base;) I worked in country towns all over Texas during the 70s & 80s & this is exactly the small town gravy hub you'd find the locals eating in. Weekday specials that cost appropriately what I tip in sushi bars, love the food too. A full parking lot never lies! read more

Great location and price for the food. The service was fast and friendly and the portions were generous. The food was fast and fresh and they were extremely busy read more

A place that has been around forever. Lots of food options, but nothing that is particularly outstanding. All the food is pretty average. Worth trying if you are on that side of town and don't have high expectations. read more

Always a wonderful experience. It is homestyle food with no frills. A nice atmosphere to enjoy your meal.

Sometimes you want a cafe breakfast with a lot of menu choices. This place has that and more. Seating was very efficient, the service was efficient, the food was well-prepared. It was a good start to the day. What sets this place apart! The decor celebrates the Armed Forces and local service members. As a retired USAF veteran, I appreciate the work they put into the lobby, the main dining room and the overflow room. The aircraft photos alone are worth a return trip to drink coffee and take them all in. Nicely done. read more

Wife and I went there for lunch. Bread, chicken fried steak and okra were not made from scratch but institutionally delivered crap. Frozen food and prepackaged bread may be comfort food for some, not for me. Service was fast and friendly. But not good enough to overcome the food. Won't be back. read more

Great diner the way they should all be. Great food breakfast all day and great service, all friendly. Desserts looked great but too full to try, perhaps next time and there will be a next time. read more

West Side Cafe - 3 scrambled, sausage & plate size pancakes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This is your typical breakfast cafe. I really didn't find anything remarkable about it. Don't get me wrong, it was good it just typical.

Everyone is always friendly. Great place for a daily or weekly meal. Food is consistently good. Waitstaff is nothing but attentive.

If you like breakfast all day, you can't do better than WSC. Tonight I had the grilled pork chops, medium and eggs over medium with hash browns, toast and gravy. Eggs and chops were cooked perfectly to order. Hash browns nice and crispy outside and super soft inside. Gravy is always good. Service is always very good to excellent because they are never understaffed, even during the Covid-19 pandemic, My server, Ashton, did a great job. I'll continue to dine here weekly. read more

Get here quick! My first time and it was amazing!!! I had chicken and dumplings, my party has meat loaf, chefs salad, and chicken fried chicken! We're all so impressed!! So good we didn't feed pictures! If you want good old Grama cooking this is the place!! read more

Always great food and service. 1st time I tried it was perhaps 20 years ago. Moved further East and hadn't been back in a while. This fall though I began to be in the area periodically and began to visit it again. Have had several great meals there in the last few months. One of my favorites is the chicken and dumplings and the Friday special - Beef Tips and Noodles. The breakfast burrito is also crazy good. Make sure to ask for a fair amount of their homemade salsa. They have a great standard salsa and at times have a green salsa as well. Both are very good. read more

My dad and I used to always eat here when we lived in Fort Worth. West Side Cafe hands down is one of a kind and has the best chicken fried steak and breakfast! 10/10 recommend!! read more

Always good!! They make you feel like they have missed you and the food is good home cooking. Squash casserole the best!!

West Side Cafe is the definitive home cooking restaurant in Fort Worth. I've tried many things on the menu and have never been disappointed. Ultimate Burrito for breakfast is outstanding and all of the lunch specials are great. It is off the menu now but the Chicken Enchiladas lunch special is amazing. If it makes it back in the menu, you have to try it. read more

Southern hospitality at its finest!! West Side Cafe is always a great experience. What impresses me most is the consistency in service & quality. The cafe is always slam packed with every table full, but this doesn't stop the service from being impeccable. The employees thrive in the fast-paced environment here. We are usually seated immediately & our food comes out in 10 minutes or less. The food is consistently great quality -- fresh, hot, tasty, & total cafe comfort!! The portions are large, so you definitely get more bang for your buck here. The servers make a great team effort & always help each other out. If any server sees you without your tea or coffee topped off, they'll make sure to take care of you. When you get up from your table to leave, every server, employee, & manager will give you a big smile & tell you to have a great day. Go to West Side Cafe & leave with a full tummy & a good mood! read more

LOVE the West Side Cafe!!! Eat here about 3 times a month...always at the counter...and typically the same thing...yes...the same mouthwatering, delicious, decedent, savory, perfectly cooked to perfection treat!!! That's right, only GRILLED LIVER AND ONIONS could fill those big shoes!!! Start with a cafe side salad, and then put the greens on the side. I have never had this dish that it was not cooked to perfection, and the brown gravy finish is perfect! Breakfasts are very good...but seriously, do yourself a favor and enjoy this piece of Americana dining!!! Sit at the counter...get a big glass of ice tea...and dig into a big plate of deliciousness! read more

West Side is a family favorite. It was one of the first restaurants we ever brought our son too. My husband and I came to west side for many dates and it continues to be a great date spot and family meal must! The staff is always friendly and helpful and it is a real family vibe! read more

Excellent Breakfast Normally when on a road trip we only get coffee and a pastry starting out. But today we started later then normal. Saw this old small strip mall with a number of cars parked by a tired looking restaurant. Location is definitely nothing special but we decided to try anyway. This is most definitely a local establishment. Atmosphere very casual and friendly. Inside reminds me of the 80 time period. The restaurant was about full. The host seated us and took our drink order so we got them fairly quickly. Waitress was friendly and courteous. Came back regularly for coffee refills. I had the Western Omelette with biscuits and gravy. My spouse had the Eggs and Bacon. Food was tasty would order again. Portions were decent size and prices reasonable. Parking is free in the mall lot. read more

Hadn't been a fan of chicken and dumplings until I ate here. The lady at the table next to mine had a bowl of C&D and it looked warm and tasty. I ordered a bowl and was not disappointed. It was steaming hot, tasty, and left me feeling warm inside and very satisfied. I'll be back soon and bring the family! read more

The food is great but sadly Roaches crawling on wall next to my booth. We have not returned.

A real, honest-to-goodness diner. Friendly and highly professional waitresses, excellent food, and a bottomless cup of coffee - THIS is how breakfast in a cafe' is done. read more

Excellent down home experience and food! Starts with a friendly greeting at the door and continues on to attentive, but not obtrusive, service. It is easy to see this place is a favorite of locals. Food was plentiful and flavorful! I am super picky about gravy, and this white gravy is on mark!! Had an excellent western omelette-- no skimping on the goodies! Hubby had steak and eggs, and he truly enjoyed it!! read more

Had a very delicious lunch here. I had the Chicken Fried Chicken and my friend had the BLT and we were very satisfied with our selections. We also both had the French Toast and it was the best dessert we could have asked for. The service and ambiance were very inviting and welcoming. I really enjoyed my experience here and the food was indeed superb. Don't pass on this gem! read more

West Side Cafe - 22. Chicken Fried Chicken French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I don't know about you, but it is completely changed since the original owner died. So the waitress that we had acted just like a robot I mean no personality no nothing and I've definitely had better food. That's why I think I've maybe been there four times in my entire life of living here since 1969. I honestly would rather just go to waffle house. I think like Paris Café. They should just change their menu. I don't think they need five or six people running the front seat people but that's just me. read more

I kept passing my this place and seen lines out the door. Since it's Covid season we did not eat out but have had take out twice. Both times the food was hot and delish. One thing I can say is the greens are NOT cooked daily as the person on the phone told me. They are certainly out of a can. read more

Excellent food and excellent service, hometown vibes! I would recommend this place to everyone and anyone!

Love the people and atmosphere. One of the few hole in the wall cafes. Love going to places like these.
