Many celebrate America’s birthday with backyard barbecues and gatherings with loved ones. If grilling isn’t your specialty, however, there’s no reason you can’t mark the occasion with a special meal, and several restaurants around town are proving it through their Independence Day specials.
This week, we’ve got seafood-rich comfort food from a big name restaurant, a fast-food joint pouring colorful holiday drinks, and a Stockyards Tim Love eatery with peak firework visibility.
Keep in mind, it’s every Fort Worthian for themselves when it comes to grabbing a seat to watch the Fourth festivities, so please be careful and courteous on the roads. I’ve never been audacious enough to venture into the Stockyards on fireworks day, but given July 4 falls on a Saturday this year, I imagine it’ll be a madhouse.
Lots of lobster at Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse
If you like corn dogs but prefer seafood, Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse is offering a $22 tempura lobster tail corn dog, A5 sirloins with lobster scampi for $95, and lobster cream corn at $34 July 4. This special is only available in-house and staff recommend foodies make reservations before stopping by.
There’s also still time to try their Lone Star Selections, a special menu available exclusively at Texas locations until July 7. Dishes are inspired by Texas flavors from Gulf Coast scampi and wagyu strip steak to a Garrison Brothers bourbon flight and Gouda mac and cheese with Hatch chiles.

Firework views and tapas at Ático
The Stockyards rooftop tapas spot will grant customers prime firework viewing July 4 on a first-come-first-served basis. This eatery by chef and restaurateur Tim Love won’t accept reservations, according to a social media post, so foodies hoping to snag a spot on the patio will want to arrive early. Their holiday hours will be 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Dining at Ático sees flatbreads, cheese boards, and smoked and cured meats presented alongside dips, patatas bravas and fried zucchini.
Their cocktail menu dons classics like old fashioneds with a twist — including their Horchata Old Fashioned featuring walnut bitters and spiced simple syrup — a Crystal Clear Chocolate Martini with Goodnight Loving Vodka and their Spanish Manhattan. The latter combines Pendleton 1910 Rye with Luxardo cherry, Antica Formula vermouth and cherry bitters.

Red white and blue margaritas at Fuzzy’s
I know, I included a Fuzzy’s Taco Shop special in my spicy food article recently, so I apologize for talking about them again. Still, given the visual element of this special, I’d be remiss if I didn’t include it.
The Firework Marg is on offer at Fuzzy’s Texas locations and is made with Casamigos Blanco Tequila, strawberry and blue curaçao, garnished with a red, white and blue ice pop for bonus vibes. The $10 special is only available until July 5.
Fuzzy’s has nearly a dozen locations across Tarrant County.
