In a world of creamy espresso martinis let me introduce you to the best espresso martini. If you don’t like espresso martinis, that’s fine, Jennifer can make you anything at a superior quality at the bar — not to mention she’s hilarious — but also the smokehouse is amazing. The ribs were great as well!! Highly recommend!

I live in Dallas, and I’m crying 😭 that this wonderful eatery is in Fort Worth. It’s perfect and the food is beyond amazing. My life was changed by the steak wedge salad.

The meal was absolutely delicious. We started with deviled eggs. They were delicious. Presentation was very nice. We had the Honey Truffle Fried Chicken with Mac & Cheese. It is a must! We had the brisket and potato salad too. Brisket was so tender, lean and cut with a fork. We ended with the banana cream pudding. Make sure to save room. It's scrumptious. Definitely will be going back. Ryan our server was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Manager was hands-on. She made sure we were completely satisfied.

Stopped in for lunch and was not disappointed. We ordered too much food but left with take out boxes. The smoked wings were really good, we had both buffalo and bbq flavors and really enjoyed those. Fried pickles were great! The Mac and cheese was delicious, I really enjoyed the cucumber salad and the smash burger was so good, although a bit heavy for me, husband loved it. My son also really enjoyed the coconut lemonade drink! The restaurant is bright and modern, and the service was very attentive and friendly, although the food did take longer than I expected to come out. Overall a great spot for lunch or dinner!

F1 Smokehouse exceeded my expectations! The nachos had the perfect ratio of toppings to chips, ensuring every bite was loaded with flavor. The Blue Plate was absolutely delicious. The Green Haze cocktail had just the right hint of spice, balancing heat and refreshment beautifully. To top it all off, the banana pudding was the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. Honestly, everything we ordered was spot on. I’ll definitely be back!
