Little Red Wasp

I wouldn’t say there was anything too unique or special about this place, but it was definitely really good! We enjoyed our brunch here! I recommend the bread platter with the various dips. Brunch was delicious. We also tried the mimosa flight and we loved the flavor options. Being in downtown Fort Worth, it was definitely a bit of a hassle, and there are other places that I like equal or better that don’t require the hassle, but it was definitely delicious and worth stopping in!

We enjoyed our Brunch at Little Red Wasp!! I love that they have many, many Texas products that they use from salsa, pickles, & condiments, to local meat & produce. They also offer a great selection of Texas spirits, wine & Texas beer!! We started with brunch cocktails of Gin & Tonic and mimosas with both orange & pineapple juices. Then we had the Brisket Potstickers for an appetizer & they were delicious!! I can also recommend the deviled eggs as we have had them before!! For our entrees - we ordered the Breakfast Burger (served with house made chips) and Avacado Toast with Sunny Side Up Eggs. Everything was amazing!! We had no room for dessert but I'm sure anything you choose would be great as well!! Everything from atmosphere, service, & food were fantastic!! We will definitely return anytime we are in Downtown Fort Worth!!

Decent restaurant in downtown Fort Worth. Was recommended via reddit so I had high expectations but the food was very fine for the price. Everything was delicious but not outstanding. We ordered the LRW brunch, the chicken sandwich, and the burger. The chicken sandwich was very good and so was the burger. Our server was very friendly and attentive.

Cocktails were excellent. Ordered fish and chips.... had it been prepared right it probably would have been excellent.... so burnt and greasy I could only choke 1 piece down... ***Update*** Manager came over and apologized, agreed that it not edible. Because I was on a time crunch he served me some meatballs over Polenta and it was absolutely awesome.

This place is awesome for apps. Had the homemade chips and dip and it was fantastic! The pimento cheese and ranch dip is great. Good place to try out !

Food was so unbelievably bland. The best thing was the chicken wings because it had hot sauce. The grits of the shrimp and grits were so bland had no salt and no flavor. It was cooked good but tasteless without the shrimp. I seen a table that had their own hot sauce and figured out why soon as I tasted my own food. The black bean soup was good. The chicken in the chicken sandwich was bland. Just dull and tasteless without the Cole slaw. The service was alright. It was kind of busy and the other people were super loud (not really complaining about it. I just could not not notice it) overall it was just okay. But I won’t be returning because the food is nothing to brag about. When I go out to pay for food I’d prefer it to be better than what I can do at home. I didn’t try the cocktails and which am I now assuming has to be the main reason why people go.

Will return for good service and foood. High ceiling, brick walls, booths and tables. They were willing to change one tv to French Open tennis - thank you very much. The only down side is - two tv monitors are bid small but again, this isn’t a sports bar and my aging eyes are on the decline. We've Kale salad and Ruben - both are good. Getting there at the tight time, it was only half full. By the time we almost done, it became full: the convention attendees are pouring in for their lunch. We would sit a little longer to watch Joao Fonesca's defeat of Pierre-Hugues Herbert, but when the girl came by, asking if we need anything, we asked for the bill. She said ok and then proceeded to take the cream and sugar away. The manager (?) told her not to do it quietly and she put them back - I appreciated this kind gesture - thank you.

Great vibe! Did not get stung at all. Highly recommend. Avocado Sandwich was amazing. Deviled eggs were overflowing with scrumptious taste that exploded the taste buds!

The food is delicious! Best tomato basil soup ever! And the meatballs with whipped ricotta are out of this world fabulous - a must try! An inviting environment and excellent service from the staff just solidified the WOW of this place.

Just a heads up, their French toast is fried (: not sure I was expecting that? I had a great time!

Brunch is a must here at Little Red Wasp. Located in the Sundance Square of downtown, this spot is a bit of a diner slash cafe slash quirky spins on everyday favorites type of place. There's also a full bar with lots of signature creative cocktails. Like I said, this place can offer some serious brunch vibes, as well as a laid-back lunch or fun date spot.

Chips and homemade ranch and pimento cheese 10/10! Other food was 5/10 unfortunately. Went on a Sunday and my biggest issue is they have Resy for Reservations set for 3! So you can only make a reservation online for 3, not 4 but make it for 3 and every table seats 4...... so stupid! The chicks biscuit was huge! Unfortunately it tasted mid at best, over cooked and tasted like old fry oil... too thin for the coating and over cooked. The pepper gravy tasted like flour! Eggs Benedict... my wife said was good so saved the review from being a 3. Service was good, none fried foods seem good. Avoid anything fried! Same for many of the fish and chip reviews.

Will return for good service and foood. High ceiling, brick walls, booths and tables. The only down side is - two tv monitors are bid small but again, this isn't a sports bar and my aging eyes are on the decline. Wait time was minimal. Server did an excellent job answering questions and guiding our dining choices. Service was prompt with food pleasantly presented and still warm. Might try something else on another trip.

Super cute place within walking distance from just about anywhere downtown. I had a tight meeting scheduled so I ordered their lunch Cobb to go from the bar. The bartender that took my order was very nice and the meal was prepared and packaged in about five minutes. When I got it back to my room, it was quite delicious. I look forward to dining in during a future visit to Fort Worth.

Great place, came back after many years. Service, food and ambiance are great. Wings with chimichurri and garlic aioli were unique and tasty! All meals were tasty, Mac & cheese super flavorful without being too thick!

Cute place! Little Wasp is such a cute spot in a really aesthetic area--perfect for brunch with a group. The brunch menu is a bit limited, but the options they do have are solid, and everything we tried was great. Service was super friendly, and the Bloody Mary? Fantastic. Definitely worth a visit!

Delicious Delicious Delicious !! The chips are delicious. Highly recommend the deviled eggs and bread pudding. Service is excellent also.

The food is always great and the team is incredibly friendly and helpful. We were here for a 12 top during lunch and there was seamless execution and no delays in food service. The meatballs and whipped ricotta are a 10/10 as is the grandma's chicken special. Management is absolutely fantastic as well!

Honestly don't understand how this restaurant has 4 stars. Our group made reservations at LRW since it is close to the convention center where we were attending an event. The fish and chips were dry and fried unevenly. At least the fries were decent. Definitely not worth the $31 price tag. Have you ever seen an anemic chicken fried chicken? That's what we were served. The fry on the chicken was so pale, and the mashed potatoes with gravy taste was bland. The Brussels sprouts tasted like they were microwaved, not freshly roasted. They weren't crispy at all and were soaking in liquid in the bowl. The spaghetti meatballs taste like cheap freezer meatballs that you get from a grocery store. I think this restaurant survives alone on hotel guests and convention center attendees. Overpriced and underwhelming. At least the service was fine.

So decided to do a follow up on this place. Had the shrimp roll, the green eggs and ham and the bread pudding. Service was first class and love the ambiance there. It was a low key Sunday for us. Green Eggs and Ham had an amazing flavor that was balanced well with the cheese and the avocado. The Shrimp Roll was VERY fresh and very good flavor. The Bread Pudding was very good and the pecans in the bourbon caramel sauce was very good.

Wow, what amazing service! We called because I was craving an "Irish Benedict", and I saw a picture similar online but didn't see it on the online menu. Jason (manager) assured us they could "make it happen". A short walk from our hotel, sat down and told our waitress, Stacy, what I wanted. Jason came to the table, asked for details; and a few minutes later, was an AMAZING Benedict, exactly how I wanted it. The Hollandaise is amazing (and anyone knows you judge a Benedict by the hollanda Top notch everything!

This place has always been great. Good service, clean, and great food except they no longer have the delicious rolls. Big mistake! But the salmon was solid and my coworkers liked their scallops and grits.

It smells like sewer gas or something bad when you walk in. Service was not impressive. They were not busy but they kept using that excuse when we had to wait for server to bring ketchup and then water, etc. First server knew what cider was and what the restaurant had. So I had to order it at the bar. Food was ok. Reuben and brisket French dip. Won't be back. We will try the other restaurants next time we are here.

This little restaurant is tucked between all these high-end places. We had a late lunch. A chicken Caesar salad A kids fries was 18 with substitute of fries two waters and one beer 57 coconuts The salad was the size of a side salad, and there was less than 1/2 of the chicken breast the chicken kids meal. 18 coconuts. Server was very nice

This downtown location with valet parking if needed, is a lively fun spot with upscale sandwiches and salads. We had scallops and grits and the pork shank tacos. Both were very well prepared and delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. the restaurant has a cool bar, nice booths and would be appropriate for all age groups, business, friends, family. this was a great spot and I will return. Dishes are a bit expensive but that is dining out now, right?

Can't say much about the vibe of this place since we ordered for takeout. We found this place through google maps and it was literally right by our hotel, so my husband went and picked it up. We ordered a few things: - Deviled Eggs: good, they did not skimp out on the filling. - Donut Holes: a nice little sweet treat after our meal. -Reuben: my husband said it was good. -Salmon & Lox Bagel: this was good too, but I've had better elsewhere. Overall, the food was good, we'll keep this restaurant in mind next time we're in town.

The service is always great, food is always delicious, and the portions are more than enough for leftovers. The classic diner decor and consistent service make this is favorite in downtown!

Upon arrival, there was a faint odor resembling old cleaning water. The vent near the host stand had condensation on it, and a water droplet fell on my head. This issue definitely needs to be addressed. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich for my meal which was tasty but definitely not worth the $19 price tag. The chicken was well-seasoned, and the slaw, sauce, and jalapeños made for a great combination. The meal comes with house-made chips, which were just okay. We initially got an old batch that wasn't crunchy, but our waitress noticed this on her own and promptly brought us a fresh batch straight from the fryer. While I enjoyed my meal it's nothing that I plan to return to order again.

This place is always a good choice Downtown. It's a pretty small menu but everything I've tried here is yummy. Today I got the Reuben on the brunch menu, and the little got the kids pasta with red sauce (which she swears is the best pasta sauce she's ever had). Service is consistent and attentive, and the vibe is chill and laid back.

The food was very good. The portions were appropriate size. The wait staff was very helpful and attentive It did still have the unpleasant smell when you entered and we happened to be there at the same time as a reception for some folks at a convention so it was very loud. Still I would go back

Great place to sit at the bar and people watch. Had the pork shank and it was delicious. And a rather large portion. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. I will be back to eat my way across the menu

The restaurant was nice; bathroom was clean. Not much going on as far as decor and there was a nice seating area. Reminded me of a diner. Our bartender was friendly and funny. He was quick to answer all of our questions about the food items. I had to remind him about the condiments I ordered with my burger, be he got it quickly. I got the cheeseburger and a Dos Equis; $21 for the two. The patty tasted burnt. The bread was great. Toppings tasted fresh. The chips weren't seasoned at all, though they had a nice crisp to them. The meal was alright; I wouldn't order it again.

Great Sunday Lunch Experience! 4.5 - Food: Very good! Excellent breakfast plate and salmon bagel 4.5 - Drinks: Great IPA options (cans) and Cranberry Mimosa 4.5 - Facility: great seating options, open environment 3.5 - Service: Good

Had a quick lunch on the patio and it was so nice. I had the avocado toast scrambled... must try the salsa verde it's warm and one of the best I've had. Service was so so but overall a great spot to try.

Food was mediocre for the price. I don't like to eat eggs on my toast so I moved them to the side which revealed a super thin layer of avocado mash that more resembled guacamole than a nice avocado spread. You can get more avocado on toast at coffee shops for less $. The layer of ricotta was also super sparse as you can see in the photo. The sourdough toast was soggy and lacked integrity/crunch perhaps because it was sliced kind of thin compared to others I'm used to. The chicken on the chicken biscuit was probably the best thing we ate because it was hot, crispy, and had good flavor - the biscuit was underwhelming and the gravy was not hot - parts of the gravy came out warm and others were barely warm which made it congeal and get cold quite fast. The taste of the gravy also left something to be desired.

Ordered the cheeseburger with house chips for lunch. The meat was tasty and seasoned but looked a little too close to a generic fast food burger. The bun was pretty dry and seemed a day or two past its use by date. The chips were generic kettle chips with zero salt. While the atmosphere is upscale the quality of my burger underwhelmed. The service was odd. Never had the same staffer other than to order and get the bill and had to wait an unusually long time to get a refill or ketchup in a place that was less than 25% occupied. For the price it's not worth it.

I was staying in downtown Austin, and decided to walk over to the little red wasp for a bite to eat. It was during that very, very cold snap in January, so I didn't want to go too far from my hotel. The inside of the restaurant had a bit of a diner feel to it. Very simple but sufficient. I sat at the bar, selected a beef dish from the menu and it was delish. Their drink menu seemed to have a lot of variety on it, but their wine was incredibly limited. I requested two different wines that were on their menu, and they were out of stock. The bartender was very kind and attentive, and she said they were reworking their wine menu, which is why things I had requested were not available. I might give it a try again in the future.

Service: Absolutely amazing! We made a reservation for a party of 6 which turned into 7 ppl and they were so accommodating. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful with the menu selection Ambience: It was a Friday night, busy and loud Food: I had the dinner spaghetti and meatballs and it was delicious. The portion was huge, I was not able to finish it. Alcoholic beverages: They had a great selection and even a special menu which contained the staffs personal mix drink!

worst chicken I ever had the cook didn't cook the chicken I eat food for a living this shit was ass

Nothing about this restaurant stood out. The service was mediocre, the apps were solid and the drinks were ok. I'm not sure if early evening was too soon for the staff to find their groove but even with reservations they seemed kinda lost. We had to ask for more waters and drinks long after they were empty.

We had an amazing meal! I enjoyed Grandma's Chicken Dinner and my husband and son each had the Brisket Dip. The side Caesar that accompanied one of the dips was the best he's had.

Fun atmosphere with interesting choices on the menu. Service was great and super friendly. Unique drinks were fun. My only complaint is it smelled terrible. I couldn't tell if it was sewage, or brussel sprouts or fish. It was just so odd and strong and wouldn't go away. Otherwise super nice and fun!

I had the opportunity to eat at Little Red Wasp during a work trip. I would actually give them 3.5 stars. The customer service was excellent, every server was pleasant, and the bar tender did a good job making all our drinks. The reason why I didn't give them higher stars is due to the appetizer ls simply not being or tasting very good. We tried the pot stickers and the deviled eggs, and I would not recommend ordering these at all. I ordered the scallops meal for dinner, and that was excellent. It was cooked perfectly, and I would recommend trying this delicious dish. The portions for the meals were relatively small, with the exception of the chicken dish. This restaurant is a nice date night restaurant and I would recommend going just for drinks instead.

It was such a beautiful day so we chose to eat outside. We also had my dog so it worked out perfectly. We were greeted by the hostess as we walked up. She quickly brought us waters and one for the dog. It was off to a great start and continued to be excellent. Our waitress Lindsay was an absolute treasure and delight to deal with. She knew her menu, had excellent recommendations, and was a joy to speak with. We ordered the meatballs from the appetizer section(sufficient enough for a meal). The flavor was excellent. Also ordered was the kale and quinoa salad with a side of blackened shrimp. Amazing as well. Will definitely be back and highly recommend this place.

Really enjoyed meeting friends here on a Sunday for brunch. They accommodated our big group and everyone loved their apps, meals, and drinks. Restaurant was clean and modern.

Nice sit down space with booths and open tables. Open bar area. Quick wait time for a busy Fourth of July weekend. Ordered a quick appetizer.

Great service...our hostess was really nice and attentive! Food and drinks excellent! We will definitely go back and I do recommend this place because is also family friendly and good choices on the menu!

Pictured in my review is the $44 beef tenderloin. I ordered my steak medium, and about 1 whole piece is actually medium. It's served with some crappy sliced in half tomatoes and barely fried potatoes. GARBAGE.

I've been a few times. It's a nice place to have lunch, dinner, or brunch downtown. The service is always great and the food is always quality. I recently had a patty melt for lunch (it was the daily special) and it was definitely elevated. House made thousand island sauce with sriracha sauce with a double patty on rye. It was delicious! Their house made chips are crispy and not greasy. They have a big bar for sitting too and a pretty extensive drink menu. It's a little on the pricier side; however, the food and service level supports.

We valeted for parking so we didn't have to worry. We did not have a reservation and they were able to accommodate us on a Saturday but there were just two of us. The food was good. I always love a good chicken fried chicken and the portion was huge. I would say skip the Parker bread rolls and the donuts because neither were anything super super amazing. The brisket potstickers were fun. Cesar salad was alright, hey it's just a Cesar. Dessert. Oh dessert. We had all three. I think the bread pudding was for sure the stand out and so was the cheesecake. The donuts were layered and flaky (I'm not big on donuts) but meh nothing super cool. Our waiter's name was Ebony and she was super great and got our food out fast (which is always nice). Overall, very fun and nice place. They had a lot of fun season drinks that I wish we could have tried.

I came here with a few friends for a quick bite to eat because it was a couple blocks from the hotel that I was staying at. We ordered appetizers and shared everything. By far, my favorite menu item was the whipped ricotta appetizer drizzled with honey, placed on top of toasted bread and fresh tomatoes, this dish was delicious! The brisket potstickers and chicken wings were both good. I was a little disappointed in the deviled eggs, they were on the dry side. Our server was nice, but it seemed like the service was a little bit on the slow side in getting our drinks, drink refills, extra napkins, etc. definitely a cute place, but the menu was a little limited. They do have daily food specials so that's a plus.

Every July we are n Ft Worth for an event & we always look forward to dining at the Little Red Wasp. We were there Monday, the 28th. We ordered 3 entrees. Cobb salad, Cod & chips, the Buffalo wings. The Cobb had been prepared for awhile, so soggy, wilted, and tomatoes mushy. I do not recommend the wings or the fish & chips, flavorless. The fries were good. I hate to post this review, but to thine own self be true. I hope it helps.

We stopped in before lunch and dinner around 4pm and the restaurant was quiet but the service and meal was exceptional! As a couple we shared: - Brisket potstickers - double cheeseburger - mac & cheese - local tomatoes While everything was good, the only thing we wouldn't necessarily order again was the mac. The crispy onions on top made the dish - mac alone was bland. It's cozy and dark, nice for a date, girls night or boys night. Service was quick and friendly! We will be back!

Best food for GF and DF folks. Green beans were fantastic! Fresh and cooked to perfection. Had chicken salad sandwich on the best GF bun! I will dream about that! Went back for dinner and had the Rueben. So good!! Limeade Strawberry basil mocktail was fantastic!!

We had their Thursday special the Philly cheesesteak and the pulled pork sandwich, both with French fries which was an added charge because sandwiches come with their chips. We came back Friday and had their cheeseburger and crispy chicken sandwich. To drink we had a Dr Pepper, piña colada, and lavender lemonade. Service was good. Food was good. Time was good. It wasn't busy. It was clean. People were friendly. Sodas come in bottles. Piña colada was too sweet.

We came here for a quick lunch before the airport. We came on a Saturday morning and the place was more than half empty. I would imagine it would be more busy for dinner. I had the double burger and it was a decent burger. The kids pasta was just ok, my kid loves pasta, but he just wasn't into it. Service was a bit slow for the place being so empty, but if you're looking for a quiet place for lunch, this is it.
