🍟 What’s got people talking: Where to find the best fries in Fort Worth?
A passionate Facebook discussion revealed strong opinions across price points. Hopdoddy's parmesan truffle fries emerged as the crowd favorite (psst…someone has their secret recipe here), while The Wicked Butcher's duck fat fries (these guys don’t even have a website I could find but someone created a delicious TikTok of them here) and Tokyo Cafe's classic fries rounded out the top three. Traditional spots like Charley's Old Fashioned Burgers and Railhead BBQ garnered fierce loyalty, while Wingstop surprisingly earned frequent mentions. The debate heated up around whether upscale versions could compete with classic preparations, with purists defending traditional spots like Fred's and Charley's against trendy preparations using duck fat or truffle oil.

Make reservations for special occasions at least a week in advance. Their wine list is exceptional, and the dry-aged steaks are a house specialty. The bar menu offers a more casual but equally delicious experience.
