The Bearded Lady

This was such a great spot!! Love the open outdoor seating and live bands. We got to enjoy the beautiful Texas evening weather. Fun selection of drinks. The food options were so good that we all shared our orders so we could all try a few things! Our service was ok, our server seemed to not be overly interested in interacting with us. Barely made eye contact and got us our check as soon as we were ready… super fast. Would go back!

We came in for brunch, sat inside. There’s a huge outdoor seating area too with shade. Our server was also the bar tender and he let us know he might get slammed with drinks ahead of time which was nice to have the heads up. Our food came out totally staggered, half our people were done eating and a few still hadn’t gotten their food, we all ordered at the same time. Our app came out last after everyone finished eating. The bartender was indeed slammed so we had to flag down other waiters for sauce/ silverware. Food was decent, they have a handful of vegetarian options that are clearly labeled. Our bartender looked like he had been out all night and hadn’t gone home yet, you could see how dirty his clothes were, he just looked like he could use a shower so when he’s handing us drinks and stuff it was kind of off putting. Not trying to be disrespectful to him it was just like…. alarming how dirty he looked and he’s touching our food and drinks. Not our favorite spot in town, but could be fun under the right circumstances

Fastest delivery of food! The cooks did an awesome job preparing my veggie patty. Quickness of Service and good food. I give this place 5 Stars. And the craft beer was delicious!

LOVED the fried pickles!! I had a Pineapple Margarita and was pleasantly surprised how good it was! I also ordered the BBB sandwich with fries.... Sooooo yummy! This was my first experience here and I wanted to make sure I ordered something different than just a burger. I'd definitely go back! The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was pleasant. The music was good and not loud. I didn't have to raise my voice to talk with others at my table. Loved that they had pillows for the booths.

Scam alert! Went there for mother's Day, and they included gratuity on my check for the table (because of 9 people?) and then the server didn't tell me, and asked for gratuity AGAIN! On top of it already being added. Would never recommend or go there again. Plus the food was meh. Asked for 2 extra eggs and they charged TEN DOLLARS! These were not golden eggs.

Perfect for happy hour and THE BEST fried pickles (with homemade dill ranch) I have ever had in my life! So good.

Great vibe and friendly service. My spicy burger was spicy but overcooked. The Brussels sprouts weren’t cooked enough. I love a place that has the option to add pulled pork bbq to your salad. Overall thumbs up!

I give this place a 4.5 overall. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Time of dine in was between 6:30 and 7:30 pm on a Saturday. Ordered the queso with pickled pico de gallo. Great chip to dip ratio. If you’re a big back, you know exactly what I mean by that. I ordered the BYO Burger. Did not dissapoint. They do cook their burgers medium well(It states that on the menu) but they accommodate different wellness finishes. The Cola was good. ‘Bearded Marg’ and ‘Crushed on You’ drinks were strong but and not overwhelming. Great spot. Would definitely recommend. Another perk is that parking is close by.

Stopped here on a suggestion from a nearby bar and so glad we did! The atmosphere & service were great! They carry a sour pickle beer which makes for an amazing Michelada. Loved this, and definitely recommend to pickle lovers! YUM! Started with BEST MAID DILL QUESO - 5/5 so delicious! The chips with it were crispy and just overall a great appetizer BACON WRAPPED JALAPENOS - my friend had these for her main dish as they were out of her first option. She gave these a 3.5/5. They were flavorful but also felt "over done" with the toppings. Legit GC - 4/5 was a pretty standard grilled cheese. I also had a side of the soup of the day which was an elote corn soup which was a 3/5 for me. The soup wasn't very warm, but did have a lot of flavor. Overall, would definitely come back here if I was in town again and try some other items!

Stopped in on Saturday between shows at the Amphibian. Only brunch menu was available but it is huge. Great beet selection, served at the right temp and in the correct glassware. My friend ordered the hot smoked salmon salad and I (knowing I should not since I was not in the Deep South) ordered shrimp and grits. Her salad looked okay - but required a knife (not included) to cut the greens and the salmon was sort of crumbled over the top. My dish (sorry no photo - my friend hates that sort of thing) arrived with a generous serving of cheese grits, topped with two eggs, and three shrimp. And a soup spoon! Waved the server down for knife and fork to manage through the stack. I had specified "sunny side up, runny yolk," and they initially looked okay. But with knife and fork, I discovered they were severely overcooked. Hard to cut with steak knife! Server was MIA. Shrimp were fine and grits were hot and uber cheesy as eaten around the hard egg frisbee. But if you are looking for authentic shrimp and grits, this is not it. I finally was able to ask the server who was chatting at the end of the bar to explain to the chef how wrong it is to treat eggs that way and got a "sorry" from the server. Yes I could have tracked down a server, asked for a re-do, blah blah, but at some point it is more trouble than it is actually worth. The atmosphere is high energy (a bit noisy). Tables at the carpenter-made booths are really wide, making conversation a bit of a challenge but there are other seating options. The booth seats are very deep but throw pillows are provided and welcome.

I really really wanted to like this restaurant. The vibe inside is amazing. The waitstaff were awesome and you could tell they knew the menu. We went on a Sunday evening so they were having music bingo. You could play for free and the prize was a $50 gift card. I just loved everything about the restaurant, except the food. I got the Lush burger and it was so incredibly bland. It seemed like some of the ingredients were missing from the burger and it just wasn't good. Because everything else was so amazing, I'm going to give this place a second chance. Next time I'll order something else and hopefully it's better.

Hubby stopped by this friendly local place last night and grabbed some dinner, and brought me home a BYO Burger and a side of Dill Pickle Queso. My burger was a cheeseburger with a perfectly cooked egg and was quite delicious. I don't know that I'd order the queso again. I'm a huge queso fan and love dill pickles... but I don't think it worked well together for me. It seemed curdled. It seems to be quite popular, so it's probably a me thing! The place has a nice picnic area outside and is a typical brew house inside with great service.

We happened upon the Bearded Lady in search a new brunch spot. The day was cool so we sat outside. Chairs were comfortable and it appeared family friendly. The menu selection was small but I was able to find a breakfast burrito to meet my dietary restrictions and it was good! In short, go for the burrito

We enjoyed a midafternoon burger and a cold brew. Both were delicious. While there were few people there the service was impeccable!

We had stopped here for dinner on the same day as another event we had in the area because my wife had been here once before with friends and had a decent time sitting on the patio. It was a rainy day, and so they bearded lady was busy. We had one person drop off our waters, say they are our waitress and would come back to take our drink order, about 15 mins later another waitress stopped by after taking the table next to ours order and asked what food we wanted to order. We didn't see her again until it got to the point we needed to ask for our bill, as a food runner brought out our meals and we never got the drinks we ordered. Though they were not on our ticket so we assume lost somewhere in the void. The food did come out in a reasonable time, so didn't seem to be a kitchen back up, just a front end issue. Food was just ok, not bad but not worth the generally been ignored by staff. There was about 4 people running around for the evening so its hard to tell if they just didn't know how to handle the amount of people. I'll give credit to the girl who had run out our food, the two folks who seemed to be servers took turns just seeming to hang out behind the bar, the last I think was a MOD doing various responsibilities and talking to regulars. With as many local places on this strip of road, I'm glad we went on our own vs with family on this visit, because now we'll recommend going somewhere else after this visit.

Came in on a Sunday at 2:30 pm. When I started to order my server Kendall let me know that they were out of pretzels and the poutine I wanted wasn't served till 3pm on Sundays. I went ahead and still ordered the poutine. The food is freaking good. As soon as i saw the menu I was excited to eat here. The beer reasonably priced at around 5$ a draught. And the 2 I had were phenomenal. I had a strawberry mojito cider and a coconut cream ale and they were both candy. The Tejas Poutine was also phenomenal. I'd recommend coming here again on a Sunday morning when it's not super busy!

My daughter took me to this restaurant today for Mother's Day. I ordered the veggie wrap with tater tots. When it arrived, I noticed the tortilla had seeds in it. I'm very allergic to flaxseed, so I asked the server to check with the kitchen to confirm there were no flaxseed in the tortilla. Not only did she confirm from the kitchen, she had pulled up the ingredients on her personal phone to confirm there was no flaxseed! The wrap was delicious, and I will definitely come back to this restaurant!

Not too crowded at The Bearded House!! Gotta love the Ricotta Pancakes and Bacon as one of these brunch items when I visited there on Sundays!!

2 out of our 3 orders were incorrect, the wait staff was inattentive, and the food quality was subpar at best. Honestly disappointed considering the other reviews

Great burgers, I had the LUST and it was really good! The jalapeño poppers are the champ by far, loved em! Wasn't too crowded and the wait staff were fast. Little pricey but worth a shot. LOTS OF BEER on tap. And the cocktails are good!

Parking is sometimes a challenge in the area since some lots are not free; thanks Ft Worth but The Bearded Lady is definitely worth any hassle. Great outdoor seating, some covered. Nice big bar area and lots of tables and booths available. Great menu that changes periodically and always check the chalkboard for limited food items. Full bar with lots of excellent craft beer choices. The staff is incredible with some longtime employees!

They get a solid 3.5 stars. Second time in and went for brunch this time. The server, she was impeccably nice and efficient. Had the pecan porter (again, so good) along with the STRAWBERRY PANCAKES which had a pink whipped cream, but I didn't notice any strawberries, rather it looked as though there were m+ms inside the cakes. They were tasty, as were the side of parm fries. I'll be back.....

The vibe, the service, THE FOOD! All of them are amazing! I had a burger called The Big Dill, and it was one of the most flavorful burgers I have ever had. The bacon in the burger had an incredible BBQ smoky taste and the toppings were amazing. The service was excellent. I cannot recommend this place enough. Definitely going to revisit at first opportunity!

We had excellent service and great recommendations from Kendall, our server. The next time we're in funky town we will be back

Just okay. The burgers are dry and over done. The menu says they are done well and you have to ask if you want it different. That's an oversight on my part. The ambiance is nice and they have a patio. This is more of a place you go to for the vibes rather than the food. The service was good. Lord of different craft beers on tap. I'd definitely go back again and give it a second chance but I'm not in a huge hurry. They have different sides which is nice but make sure you see it's an up charge if you get anything but fries. We sat inside and it was super loud. Not a great place for conversation.

Wow. So sad to leave this review, but it's 10 stars better than it deserves. First - I've been a patron since they opened the old frame house on Magnolia. Today my waitress, Claire, greeted me on the outside patio. I ordered a Texas Ranch Water with a separate shot of Reposado on the side. A different person dropped off a Margarita (NOT a Ranchwater) & I asked where the shot was & they said the waitress said it was to be added to my "Margarita". Claire came over & said she thought I said to put the shot in it and I said no - so I just paid the extra for the alleged upgrade to the TX Ranchwater I ordered, but did not receive. I then ordered the Blue Cheese Dip & after scanning her handheld she pronounced that to be "uavailable", so I ordered the Dill Queso that arrived less than 2 minutes later w/cold chips & a "film" over the queso. Sucked it up again, which, for the price & quality is already ridiculous. Then I ask for a beer list & she asked if I knew how to use a QR or not??!! I use my QR scanner (yes!! As a WORLD TRAVELER I kinda know this shit!!!) & order a beer & my check. My "check" is on a handheld that she does NOT want me to posess long enough, so I look @ the total & give her cash. When the requested paper receipt comes, I notice Claire has conveniently charged me for 2 more premium beers I did NOT order, adding $20 to my bill. When I demanded to see a manager over ALL of this, a random person who refused to identify as the manager handed me all of my cash back & bid me farewell. So be wary here.....

Good atmosphere and we played rock bingo while we waited for our food. The service was great and attentive.

We visited bearded lady on a wednesday where we just found out they had a hump day deal that included their smash burger and fries for only $5! it was pretty good and the price made it even better. The vibe was very hip and laid back - reminded me of Austin vibes. The outside bench area was such a chill area to hang out with friends and have a good time. There weren't too many people there that night but the service was great! Will visit again

That had to be the most unseasoned patty I've ever had, not even a pinch of salt. For some reason their ketchup has more seasoning than the burger. Other than that, the vibe inside was really nice and they have a lot of beer to choose from.

Love this place. Great selection beers and ciders and the staff is super friendly. Always a vibe when I come in here!

Interesting menu. The choices were few but varied enough with salads, sandwiches and burgers for me to say, "I'll try this/that next time". There is a large patio I imagine useful and a good weather day. The bar appeared to have a large range of beer. I had the Rueben sandwich. It was decent! I loved the speared pickles inside the sandwich. The tab water was unpleasant but you take your chances with unbottled water anyway.

Came back home to find hair in the sandwich which in the first place was overdone and burnt. ! Place needs to be reported for health inspection! And Certainly Not a family restaurant. More like a dive bar with prices which does not match the food and drinks quality. Also beware of additional surcharges for any condiments. Bad food quality and bad service.

Awesome sauce on a Sunday. The outside is amazing and fun you can enjoy a game of connect four with your furry four legged pal. The inside is playing smooth grooves and the atmosphere is superb. We were greeted right away to the bar and the excellent service from Josh made us happy. The drinks delicious and will have you dancing. The grill cheese is legit and tasty. How could I forget the queso with chips slap the chef. Overall great vibes, delicious food, and great adult beverages.

I ordered their specialty sandwich for the month and it was absolutely amazing! They have homemade fries and chips and both were really tasty. Highly recommend!

The ambiance is very chill and everyone was attentive even though they were slammed. The food was pretty good. We had the pork wings, which were tender but a little dry. We had burgers, fried green tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, grilled cheeses.. Almost everything was a little sweeter than you might anticipate. The fries are great as well as the homemade chips.

Service was very fast, and our waitress was delightful. The food was delicious and paired well with my cider. Their draught menu is decently sized, and their food menu has a good variety of offerings as well. The volume depends on how many people are here, but it never requires you to yell to speak to your table mates. We came when it was raining, but if the weather permits the patio looks inviting.

My husband and I came to the BL for our second ever visit. We love this place and their patio! The food was great. We had the bacon wrapped jalapeños and lust burger with mac & cheese recommended by our server Josh. Great service and fun atmosphere. Thanks so much Josh, we will be back soon!

After a day in the sun we settled down on the outdoor patio. Impeccable service with a smile here. I wish every establishment had servers this friendly and work 1/2 as hard. So, of course we started with some great craft beers. That's half the reason we come here. As expected they brought them out quickly and ice cold ! After missing lunch we opted to try two appetizers tonight. Words can't describe the goodness we tasted in both of them. The bacon wrapped jalapeños were spot on. Cooked perfectly and so much flavor! Then we dove into the loaded queso fries. Not sure what magical goodness they added but it was some of the best fries I've eaten. Crispy and cooked perfectly - then all the sauces and bacon on top. Now we get to my burger. The LUST burger. A 1/2 burger patty that is obviously handmade as packed with flavor. Then the feta and Gouda cheese. Just an little bite of Heaven each time I sank my teeth into it. The bun was not too big either. Our new favorite spot. A great selection of cold craft beers and incredible food. What more could you ask for? In my book it serves TEN but Yelp only gives us five.

Service was so slow took forever for the server to take our orders. Had a burger and fries not very good. Did have some queso which had a good flavor

My friends and I had a wonderful evening at the bearded lady. They have a great patio area that we sat at, after attending an event across the street. Staff was wonderful and accommodating. Most of us just ordered drinks and appetizers to share. One person got a wrap of some sort and it was a huge portion with fries. Everything we tried was delicious. The only issue we had was that we put in an order for 3 of one kind of drink and they only brought our 2. It took a little bit to figure out they tapped out of that drink and couldn't fill the last one. Once that got figured out it was taken care of quickly; though the person who didn't get the drink was disappointed cause it was an ale we hadn't seen before. But they got another drink and someone with the originally ordered drink let him try theirs so he at least got to try it. I've already made plans to come back another time with friends that have been meaning to try it that live nearby!

Ah, the Bearded Lady. A southside Fort Worth classic. They moved to a new spot around the corner a couple years ago, but have certainly maintained the same vibe. They definitely needed the bigger space, so I'm happy to see them in this spot with a sprawling outdoor patio in addition to much more inside space. With that comes a bigger crowd, but they still have a pretty small staff, so the service can be a bit slow. However, the service is always really friendly and lovely. Every bartender we've interacted with has been nothing short of stellar. The menu is great; burgers, sandwiches, salads, several fried appetizers... And they feature Best Maid Pickles, of course! The Best Maid Pickle Emporium is in the neighborhood -- did you know the Dalton (Best Maid) pickle family hails from Mansfield and has been selling house made products in Fort Worth since 1925? Pretty fun. The Bearded Lady celebrates this special Fort Worth product with items like "Best Maid Dill Queso" and "Best Maid Salty Lady Fried Pickles." Yum. This is a really casual place that gets very crowded on the weekends and when the weather is nice. Sometimes they have live music outside. Dogs are welcome!

I've been following this place for about a year online and finally ended up going! We went about an hour and a half before close, and just wanted a night cap. We went inside and stood by the bar (where there was a bartender, and 3 customers sitting there) and were not greeted at all. So we figured we'd sit on the patio, where then the waitress kept walking past us for 10 minutes. Finally we decided to get up and leave. The ambiance is cool, but if we can't get a simple hello when walking in then I don't want to be there.

I had heard good things about this place and was excited to try it today when we were in the area. The menu was decent and was really hoping to like the food. It was very busy but we were seated pretty quickly once someone noticed we were waiting at the hostess stand. Our waitress wasn't the best, but not the worst either. She didn't seem interested in waiting on us. Brought us water but didn't ask what we wanted to drink, walked off before my son could order his drink so we had to call her back over. It was VERY loud inside. Yes, they were busy, but we could barely hear each other speak. The food was just awful. Kid and I ordered the chicken biscuit. He ordered fries and I ordered grits. The chicken was so tough and overcooked and breading just crumbled off. The bottom of my biscuit was burned. His fries were soggy and undercooked. My grits were so dry and crumbly. I asked for some butter to smooth them out with but apparently there is no plain butter in this restaurant. Huh?? Seriously?? They also came with a $3 upcharge. Hubs ordered the burrito which was small and the filling looked like it had been sitting a while. Not fresh. He ordered tots and some were cold and undercooked. The only good thing about our meal was our drinks. Maybe we visited on an off day. I may try them once more. But the food we received did not match the price point we paid and was just very disappointing. I would go back for the drinks and patio.

Decent/good customer service. The food is not good. We ordered a pretzel, tomato soup and Mac and cheese. The best part of our meal was the bread that came with the soup. The pretzel was fine but it's hard to mess up a soft pretzel. The soup had a strange/off putting aftertaste and was so hot I burned my tongue. The Mac and cheese however, was cold. Ice cold. How does that even happen? We waited 15 minutes for weird tasting soup that sat under the kitchen lamp too long and Mac and cheese that didn't even touch a heat source. Don't bother. Maybe their burgers are good or whatever (probably not) but I'll never find out.

Inside looks cool, however food is not good. Got the yellow belly Sammy and chicken was so dry it was hard to swallow. Chips tasted like they were cooked in old oil. Service was mediocre.

Great atmosphere, awesome beer selection and good food! Best grilled cheese and tomato soup ever!

Parking can be tough, the wait can be long, but it's all worth it to eat at this prestigious place. We drove up from Austin for the night and my son had been wanting to try this place out for a long time. Well we finally made it. We parked about two blocks away and we waited about thirty minutes for a table. The staff was professional and friendly. The food was good as was the service. My son and I enjoyed our burgers, and Mrs. Texas enjoyed her salmon salad. They have a good menu selection and a good beer selection. They also have a variety of liquors as well. Worthy of a bookmark and a try if you're in the area.

Got so excited about the food, I devoured it before I could take a picture. Drink was great. Place is a tad pricey. Buts super clean and has a nice environment.

Great patio. Good service. Delicious brews. Yummy food. This place is ideal for a casual hangout when there is good weather. You can either grab a meal and a cocktail or sip beers on the patio all afternoon. We enjoy this spot a lot. Glad they moved because they truly needed the space. We will continue to frequent this spot as it is a fave!

My wife planned a surprise birthday for me. My friend with a lisp ordered his first drink and the waitress cut him off "bc his speech was slurred". We pleaded that this happens due to his speech impediment. She then tells us to leave and that we're being problematic. We bought $500 worth of food and drinks and were treated like loiterers asking for free water. It was insulting and embarrassing. The manager, a clear feminist who hates men was not at all apologetic and doubled down. I get it, you gotta support your staff, buuuuut you also need to remember you're in CUSTOMER SERVICE. This is the first time I've stiffed a waitress and I assure you, she and her manager earned it. This waitress then crying like the coddled entitled child she is; airs this dirty laundry table to table telling everyone in her section. How unprofessional! As we're leaving the dumpster stink of a patio (seriously wtf is with the dumpster smell), we go to the bar across the street (great spot btw!!!). Patrons from the bearded lady stalk us from the restaurant and follow us to the bar with the sole intent of confronting us on her behalf. We nearly got in a fight, luckily it was just dirty lazy hispsters so their confrontational skills lacked. It was not a good way to spend my birthday. I'm my own person so I can't speak for everyone, but 9 people realized that night there's zero chance we ever recommend or return to that dumpster fire (seriously, the dumpster smell was so gross). However, as a profession I do in home sales locally in 76109, 76110, 76107, 76116, and 76132, and know a lot of people in Fort Worth. I visit no less than 5 Jones per day in the areas this restaurants patrons would come from. I've been here my whole life, graduated from paschal and unt, was a regular at the old bearded lady, and am very involved in my city. When people ask me to recommend a restaurant I gladly will. But I'll also make a life long effort to remind them where they should never go, and that's the bearded lady. Buuuut, based on restaurant trends and your increasingly high number of bad reviews, I'm thinking this issue will work itself out. To the owner of this restaurant: hire a new manager with a good head on their shoulder who respects men equal to women, stop hiring these lazy hipster do nothing waitresses, they're not working, perhaps implement a basic dress code for staff because pajama pants don't really set the mood, they're just there to hang out, it's exhausting watching them run back and forth so inefficiently. Go visit Joe ts if you want to see a crew bust a hump. Hire a few Hispanic people to your wait staff and learn from example. This current set up is not working, if you don't believe me, read the other reviews. And get the dumpster stink by the patio figured out.

I enjoyed my visit. The food was good. It's in a nice part of town. Outdoor smoking... eew.

My cousins took me here when I visited Fort Worth for a weekend. We got the Fried Leeks and the Texas Poutine appetizers - both were amazing. Definitely not something you want to eat every week (health-wise), but QUITE the cheat-day treat! I ordered the Legit GC with white cheddar instead of yellow cheddar (still with provolone) and added bacon and caramelized onions. Delicious, y'all. All of it was delicious. Glad I got to visit. Happy to see progressive and inclusive businesses thriving.

We've been here a couple times, and the staff couple not be less interested in helping out customers. It always feels like they are annoyed by taking your order, and would rather talk together at the end of the bar vs. helping you. Food is ok. Beer garden is fine. If you hang outside it's fine, but don't expect great service

I've been following this place on IG for a little while , knew coming into town from a Houston this was a necessary stop . Outside aesthetic was cute / rustic , the menu wasn't as unique as I was hoping for but it was sufficient. We ordered the queso with chips to share ( wish the dill was stronger ) . My husband ordered the special which was the smoked Gouda grilled cheese . I ordered the " big dill " which was a disappointment - if something is going to be called the big dill it better have big dill energy - throwing a couple pickles on it is not it , I want to be bathed in dill and pickle flavors . It came with "butter tots" which were nothing spectacular. Kids ordered a grilled cheese which was your typical homemade Gc . Best thing ordered was the smoked Gouda GC , it had a good amount of meat on it and was flavorful . All in all this place was ok , I would return for brunch or lunch if need be .

I enjoyed their large patio. It made it really convenient to eat here during COVID with my friends. I ordered one of their burgers and a side of Brussel sprouts. I really enjoyed my food and the service was fun and relaxed. It would highly suggest The Bearded Lady be added into your Happy Hour routine!

Food is alway well done, clean and flavorful. Staff is usually friendly and knowledgeable. Great outside patio. Prices, especially for beer, are a bit on the high side.

I can't begin to understand the low ratings...the Bearded Lady consistently has some of the best and unique burgers and grilled cheeses in DFW. Service is always great and they have an amazing beer and cocktail selection. The wife wanted to check out "The Heavy", a Crab Rangoon grilled cheese...and it exceeded our expectations. About the only complaint was she wanted more of the filling...but they could have served it out of a bowl and she would have been happy. I had the Scott's Tots burger with a side of their house habanero gravy...because why eat potatoes without gravy. Probably one of the best gravies I've had outside my own Serrano gravy. Jacie, our server, was awesome and had a great sense of humor. Tentative service...we couldn't have asked for a better dining experience.
