"Roy Pope Grocery was established in 1943 and remains one of Fort Worth’s hidden gems. It is part grocery store, part deli, and an all-around local favorite. Roy Pope is known for being a great spot to grab a sandwich, soup, and salad, as well as grab-and-go dinners and daily specials like fried chicken, Salisbury steak, prime rib, and other freshly made comfort classics. If you pass by on any given evening, you’ll see friends, families, and couples sitting on the patio sharing light bites over a bottle of wine or cold beer. Be sure to check out its website to see daily specials on wine, beer, and light bites. Vibe check: Expect to chat with the table next to you and compare notes on what you ate. It’s a social spot." - Michael Ellington
