The patio at Bricks and Horses is as beautiful as ever, and now the menu is better than ever.
Fort Worth’s luxury Bowie House hotel opened with a beef-heavy menu. It was great for TV cowboys, not so much for light spring afternoons.
Now, Bricks and Horses has new, broader lunch, dinner and brunch offerings. They represent a stunning step up.
Along with the people-watching at a hotel known for housing stars from Taylor Sheridan’s TV shows, the new dishes make the patio the best place to dine on pretty days.
Lunch still includes a prime burger, but added dishes include a crab cake Louie salad, a blackened redfish, tuna tartare and a truffle mushroom risotto.
For breakfast and brunch — the best time of all at Bricks and Horses — the menus include specialties such as chocolate chip pancakes, creme brulee French toast or a Cajun chicken-and-waffle.
Don’t miss the most distinctive menu of all: tiny, silver-dollar-size biscuits that beg for butter and honey or house-made preserves.

If you’ve only gone to the Bowie House to hang around the bar and people-watch, take a look out the door past the restaurant host stand.
There’s a shaded patio out there that just begs for long, slow lunch or brunch visits, or splitting a rib-eye steak Diane at night.
The Bowie House also has added a Sunday tea in April and part of May.
The tea is at noon and 3 p.m. in the separate Mulberry Room, including savory and sweet items and a choice of teas.
It’s served Sundays April 12-26 and then May 17-24, plus on Monday, May 25, Memorial Day. The price is $95.
