Fort Worth Hole in the Wall

• Congrats to Ellerbe's August 18, 2010
  Although this blog hasn't reviewed Ellerbe's, the Bon Appetit blog has and they say that Ellerbe's is one of the Top 10 Best New Restaurants in the United States. Check out the Bon Appetit blog. One favor though - for all of you who follow that link, don't start expecting quality reviews like Bon Appetit provides. Also note that dallas di […]
• Mamma Mia's August 13, 2010
  Mamma Mia's has recently taken over the old Palermo's location on Magnolia. We've switched out Italian restaurants and I daresay, we traded up. If you'll remember, which you no doubt will, I was quite impressed with the scrappy little Palermo's. That dirty hole in the wall that had lasted for years on Magnolia even when little else w […]
• Nonna Tata August 3, 2010
  My real FWHITW resolutions: 1) Go to the following places in the new year: ... Nona Tata Over two years ago I made this New Year's Resolution to visit Nonna Tata. That was before 2008. I finally made it, but it took until 2010. Nonna Tata is the Southside sensation that has filled its small space every night with crowds waiting outside for some deliciou […]
• Rice-N-Noodle August 3, 2010
  Recently, there was an article in the Star-Telegram about Las Vegas Trail in Fort Worth and how it used to be the hip cool place to live. The time period of its reign was sometime in the 80's. Picture bowling teams, Dales, Rhondas. and lots of rolled up sleeves on suits. That's what was going on in Fort Worth's little Vegas. Although by the lo […]
• Greek House August 3, 2010
  Sitting in a small strip center off of Forest Park is a Greek restaurant which has been around longer than me. The Greek House moved to the Forest Park Restaurant Row (Greek House, Sapristi, Ruffino's, Grady's) years ago, but existed long before that. It's run by an older couple that I can only assume are the parents of the World's Number […]
• Junsuree Thai August 3, 2010
  You may recall that I recently found a great Thai place. Well, Fort Worth has another great Thai place (that makes three when you add in Thai Tina). Junsuree was recommended by many of you folks through emails, comments, threatening bricks thrown through the official HITW hideout, etc. But finally, some "locals" who are somehow related to Sarah Pal […]
• Wild Rooster Bar August 3, 2010
  Did you hear that Fort Worth will be hosting ESPN for Super Bowl week? dallas is pissed (according to the Observer website). Turns out, nobody in dallas really knows whats going on over here. So I'm going to extend an informal invitation to the people of the Near East to come and enjoy our town. To entice them, here is a hole in the wall bar review. Hav […]
• Flying Fish August 3, 2010
  For too many years, Flying Fish has sat collecting dust in the "Is it a hole" department.  Something about it seemed chainy.  It fit so well into its environment that it confused the department's editors.  After a recent visit, I pulled it out of the department.  It is in fact a small chain with about five or six other locations.  However, bec […]
• Format Changes July 30, 2010
  I've updated the format and layout of the blog for the first time in three years. At some point, I'll also be removing many of the tags that seem useless in order to make them more streamlined. This way you'll just see a list of basic restaurant types, with a few tabs for "patio" and a few other useful things. If you've got any […]
• George's Specialty Foods July 29, 2010
  Alright all you Fall Foliage Fanatics, its time to get out and show yourself...so we can judge you harshly. And where is the best place to view the Fort's Fall Foliage? Near the trees, obviously. George's Specialty Foods on White Settlement faces the Trinity, northwest of downtown and all the large trees along the river bank. When the weather is ni […]
