Fred's Texas Cafe - Camp Bowie West

First time there the vibes were relaxed and cool! Lots of baby boomer drinkers there on Sunday being social fun to watch. Had like dive bar vibes but also family friendly, little arcade area in the back. They had a Big screen on patio playing football on Sunday. Women’s restrooms CLEAN & smelled good. The food was decently tasty! Mid tier quality food similar to chain restaurants, salty, greasy, not the freshest but good flavor combos & satisfying! They had sourdough breaded fried foods which was unique. We got the blue cheese burger, hot honey chicken sandwich (great light crispy breading) & apple crisp for dessert. Would go back :)

Met some friends for lunch and left not hungry for dinner. Have attached some photos of some great hamburgers that will not disappoint. Tons of room with all types of seating and a great environment. Kevin our waiter did an excellent job.

How this Fort Worth gem has escaped my attention until now is beyond me. A friend suggested this place to me and I will be eternally grateful. Fred's Texas Cafe reminds of a bygone era that is still alive and thriving today. Their service was so wonderful that I never once had to ask for a sweet tea refill, they would just miraculously appear on my table. The great menu is testament to years of wonderful dining experiences. The Big Easy that I ordered was a former Fair favorite. Of course I also had to have their loaded fries along with it. Prior to the entrée was probably the best fried pickle chips I have ever tried. They were thin and crispy with a Spicy Ranch Aoli dipping sauce that was on point. The finale was a homemade Banana Pudding served in a frozen margarita glass. I have since had several other friends comment on how much they enjoy eating here and just wonder why I had never been invited previously. No matter, I know about it now and will definitely be returning for more.

Dropped in on a weekend for a late lunch, a great decision! Service was excellent! The hosts, waitress (Emmy), & the servers who also brought our food would were all so pleasant & friendly. Fried Green Tomatoes - definite yet, thick tomatoes slices with pimento cheese that took it up a level! HH Burger with loaded fries - the egg was perfectly cooked, burger was juicy, & the loaded fries were plentiful with toppings. Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes - huge portion with a generous amount of gravy. A great crunch to the batter. Place was clean, service an A+, food came out quickly & still tasted delicious. Very fair prices, we'll be back soon!

There is no handicap access. Waitress was very rude. Asked us if we wanted to wait to order until we were done with our appetizers. Then as soon as we had out food ( hadn't even taken a bite) she asked if we were ready for our ticket. She didn't make us feel welcome or comfortable been there. Love Freds Burguers but this new location in Crowlet needs better waitresses. Manager very nice to us after we told her what happened. But defenatly need to work on handicap accesability and parking. My husband is wheelchair bound and going thru street and grass is not acceptable.

Tried this place for the first time tonight. The food was great and the service was too. Several friendly and helpful staff made the dinner a wonderful experience. The bar had a good selection of beers at a reasonable price. Highlights of the meal were the hamburger, the onion rings, and the french fries. All were terrific. For dessert I chose the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, which was very good. I'm looking forward to my next visit to try a different burger.

Leaving this from about a month ago - would not recommend this place! We were seated in the bar area where they had their personal belongings on a table in the corner. We had a very odd encounter with a waitress who came to ask us what we would like to drink, as if she had never seen a gay couple, and just stared at us for a few seconds with no words after getting our drink order. Afterwards, we had a second waitress come and ask us for our food order instead, so that was awkward. The second waitress even apologized for the firsts behavior, so I am not sure what she was feeling in that moment. Ordered a drink from the bar, our appetizer and entrees had made it out before this drink. I watched the bartender make drinks for her bar guests before making mine, which was put in way before her bar guests had even arrived. Food was good, so if you want a decent burger you’ll be fine! Everything else was not, and we will not be coming back. Just go to Gusto’s on Magnolia, better all-around! Ex-server here - calling people “baby” and flipping your long dyed hair isn’t going to get you tips with every table. I do not mean to make that waitress seem homophobic, but something sure was off when she saw that those tricks weren’t going to do anything for us. We tipped the second waitress $30 on a $50 check, so joke’s on her I guess. Even with the negative visit.

Large delicious hamburgers of various types. I substituted fries for onion rings. They were sweet, crisp- delicious! Sports bar type environment both inside and large outside screened in area. Good value for food and very friendly service. Thank you so much!
