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!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

It was great experience capturing a scrumptious lunch with colleagues on the outside patio. My burger was cooked to my liking and the fries were real savory. The best part was my drink, the 66.

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Food was low key booty cheeks and too expensive grrrrrrrr boooooooooooo- ps had to have 85 characters to post this

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

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 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.

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.

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.

I have been dreaming about a grilled cheese and tomato soup from here for a few months. I realize that sounds like an exaggeration but it is not, I have been counting calories since May. When I couldn't ignore the craving anymore I asked a co-worker to walk down to LRW. When we arrived the place was hopping and I didn't even need to look at the menu to know what to order. But my dreams were temporarily dashed when they told us that neither the grilled cheese or tomato soup were on the menu anymore. Then the manager swooped in like a hero (I swear I didn't ask for him or complain) and he told us that they had all the stuff and that they were even prepping the soup to come back on tomorrow. The meal was INCREDIBLE and the service unmatched. Thank you for making my cheat meal exactly what I wanted it to be!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I was sadly disappointed. A group of us was in town on business and this place was near hotel downtown. The interior and atmosphere was nice but the food was decent but price was ridiculous! I understand restaraunts upcharge for drinks but $20 for an appetizer sized cobb salad??? And to add insult to injury, I asked if he could nix the blu cheese crumbles and give me ranch dressing instead. He told me it would be an extra $1 for the substitute of ranch??? The small salad came out and it was a little mushy bcuz of all of the soft ingredients ( i.e. avo, egg, tomatoes etc..) so I politely asked if I could add a couple of croutons. I was told that they didn't have croutons- but i clearly saw a diner next to me with croutons on their plate (not a salad) which is what gave me the idea to ask for them. The waiter said that he could bring me some sourdough bread and I was happy...until he said it would be another $1 for a slice of bread. And I do mean one small slice of bread!! SMH!!

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.

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.

Good happy hour, great atmosphere, food was quite tasty. The place does have a bit of an odor, but that's not their fault. It's probably something to do with the city sewer lines.

The manager was a bit rude, but other than that our server was awesome and we would definitely recommend the chicken biscuit and avocado toast!!

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 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.

Ate here with a group from work on recommendation from our hotel. Overall it was pretty good but it was a little weird to start off. We had a group of 7 and when we arrived and inquired about a table (with it being 5:30 and the bulk of the restaurant being empty) we were told they could seat us but we had to be done by 6:30pm. Really strange but we agreed. The chips and dips were really good and the deviled eggs were ok... a little bland and dry. Several of us ordered the chicken fried chicken which came out quickly. The issue was that the breading was too thick and very bland. Because it was thick it was also oily as it held onto the grease from frying. The gravy needed salt but the potatoes were pretty good. The actual star of the meal were the local fresh tomatoes. They were excellent but the rest of the meal was just ok. Could have definitely been better but I would like to go back and try a different dish.

Staff was super friendly and service was fast. However the food for several of our dishes was cold and not very fresh. Most of us just picked at our food and took nothing home. Maybe it was a bad day not sure but the food definitely wasn't over the top memerable.

A larger group of us arrived from all over and they accommodated when we needed to add another. This was so kind. The server was extremely sweet, personable, offered help with selections and gave good recommendations. I got the bitter cold and it was a pretty pink, and super tasty! I also ordered the crispy chicken, potatoes and Brussels sprouts with her recommendation and was NOT disappointed. It was so good i literally finished it all. I would recommend coming here. The restaurant was buzzing with chatter and rather loud although it was a Friday night. My one reservation is that a lot of the food seemed fried or "fancy fried" which can be hard on some people's digestion although there's alt options.

Nice clean friendly place Very attentive. Excellent bar! Best old fashion I have had (besides mine). Espresso Martini was on point. They make all their own syrups.

I went here with my bff after a spa day. The food was delicious! We started off with a Bloody Mary for my friend and a flavored mimosa. They were both very good and very typical for those drinks. We then had deviled eggs and the rolls. The deviled eggs were delicious and flavored just right. I'm very picky on this dish, and I thought they did it justice. The rolls come out hot, with butter and they melt in your mouth! Then my friend had the Rueben and I had the corn beef hash. Both were very delicious and perfectly done. I would definitely recommend a visit when you're in Ft. Worth. I plan to go back for dinner and try out their evening cocktails and food!

Little Red Wasp is a bar-like brunch spot in Downtown Fort Worth. Located near the convention center, this spot has tough parking. We found parking on the street a couple blocks away. They have indoor and outdoor seating here. If you sit outside, you can bring your pets. We came here for brunch. The restaurant has a bunch of different salad, burgers, sandwiches, soups and egg options. I got the green eggs and ham plus deviled eggs and ricotta cheese for an appetizer. It was okay. Just a typical brunch bar-spot... not bad but nothing special.

Quick place to pick up lunch. Prices were on par for the area. Server Ebony was friendly and gave great suggestions for what to order. Pittsburg drink was tasty. I would order it again. Not too sweet and just the right amount of alcohol. The substitute green beans for chips were great. Shrimp roll was yum with the pickled onions and it came with a side of butter. Also tried the lavender lemonade that was more lavender then lemonade and very refreshing.
