Peter Greenberg’s Ask the Locals City Guide featured an interesting article on a trip to Fort Worth. They seemed to hit the highlights like the Stockyards, Billy Bob’s Texas, and Joe T’s. I will say that they had Fred’s Texas listed in local highlights, but aside from that it was pretty typically what you would expect to find in any standard Fort Worth visitors guide. Which is totally boring.
When new people come to town I prefer to try to get them to do some of the things that are a little off the beaten path. I am notorious for tricking people into showing up to the Spiral Diner (organic vegan food for those who don’t know), and if not that then I prefer other local eateries. Things that come to mind would be Margie’s Italian food or M&M’s Steakhouse. I would absolutely never take a visitor to Joe T’s when I could take them to The Original, but that’s just me.
I wonder what would be listed if someone were to come up with a true locals guide to Fort Worth.

I always take visitors to Joe T’s. I’d sooner go to Benito’s than The Original.
