BEST PATIO DINING
By Celestina Phillips
Fred's Texas Cafe
"Like stepping foot into an old friend's slightly run-down backyard, "The Fort" at Fred's is likely the most charming patio area in Fort Worth, simply due to its completely unpretentious atmosphere that's both strappy sandal and flip-flop friendly. Strewn with picnic tables and plastic chairs, friends will find fire pits blazing in the winter and misters in the summer, along with a makeshift stage that's home to live, local acts Wednesday through Sunday. Dive into jalapeno cheese fries with a side of ranch while knocking back on of Fred's "coldass" beers.
