Cast Iron Restaurant

Cast Iron Restaurant, located on Houston Street in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, Texas, offers a modern take on classic Southern comfort food within the sleek lobby of the Omni Fort Worth Hotel. Guests are welcomed by a warm, wood‑panelled dining room with copper accents that echo the restaurant’s name, and an open kitchen where Executive Chef Harker prepares signature dishes such as crispy buttermilk fried chicken, shrimp and grits with smoked paprika, and a slow‑smoked Texas brisket. The menu also highlights seasonal sides like collard greens braised with bacon, sweet‑potato mash, and a pecan‑crusted mac & cheese. For brunch, the house‑made biscuits topped with honey‑glazed ham and a poached egg are a crowd‑pleaser, while the dessert case showcases bourbon‑infused pecan pie and a warm banana‑bread pudding. The restaurant opens early at 6:30 a.m. on Fridays for breakfast and serves lunch and dinner daily, with hours extending to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 11 p.m. on weekends. Prices range from $12 for a starter to $35 for a main entrée, positioning Cast Iron as a mid‑range dining option. Its central location puts guests within walking distance of Sundance Square, the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, and the nearby Water Gardens, making it an ideal stop after exploring the city’s attractions. Whether you’re a local looking for a reliable Southern bite or a traveler seeking a taste of Texas hospitality, Cast Iron delivers consistent flavor, attentive service, and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere.
