From South Main Village to Downtown, and from Dalworthington Gardens to Southlake, there’s a lot of food news to share, with plenty of buzzy moves and openings on the horizon. Here’s a round-up of recent food and beverage news you need to know.
Big Move For Rahr & Sons Brewing
Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. will close its distillery after 20 years in the South Main Village of Fort Worth, on Galveston Avenue. The announcement teased “plans to expand” and “embarking on an exciting new chapter” for Fort Worth’s original craft brewery, which now has a lengthy line-up and distribution in several states, including Tennessee and Nebraska. Rahr’s line of beers is expanding, including its newest Texas Light. The famous tap room will remain open until May 17.
“Our goals for the future of Rahr Brewing have surpassed the capabilities of our current location, so we are searching for our new home,” the post read. “Don’t worry, your Rahr beers will still be brewed by our same talented brewers in Fort Worth.”
Melt On Main
MELT Ice Creams returns to downtown Fort Worth – just not in Sundance Square. You’ll find this little ray of sunshine at 700 Main Street, just across from Grace Restaurant. Owner Kari Crowe and the team are ready to welcome you on Saturday, April 19, at their grand opening, which also coincides with the 11th Birthday Bash for MELT On Main with free (naturally dyed) sprinkles all day.
MELT is a hometown brand offering flavors like their limited-edition Yellow Birthday Cake, Salt Lick, Texas Lavender Honey Crunch, and more. The new downtown location joins four others: one on Magnolia Avenue, another in Mule Alley, one in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas, and a new one in Willow Park.
Dalworthington Gardens New Coffee Shop
Baklava Bakery & Coffee Co. brings fresh coffee and pastries with a Middle Eastern touch. It is located at 3115 West Arkansas in Dalworthington Gardens, and open from Monday through Saturday from 6:30 am to 3:30 pm. For instance, the Turkish Coffee or the Dubai chocolate latte made with chocolate, pistachio, and espresso, finished with a smooth and creamy pistachio cold foam. Pastries include fresh scones, muffins, croissants, and yes, the signature sweet, fresh baklava.
Food and Beverage News Includes These Newly Opened and Announced Southlake Eats
Flower Child opened on April 8 at 1239 Main Street in Southlake Town Square, across the street from The Container Store. This brings a healthy new staple to town, with customizable menu offerings and a bright space. Flower Child will be open from 11 am to 9 pm daily. The brand has several locations in Texas. This will be its sixth opening in North Texas, with four in the Dallas area and one in Fort Worth’s University Park Village.
Rosebud Steakhouse opened on April 3 at 2102 East State Highway 114 in Southlake’s District 114 development. It marks the fourth Rosebud for Chicago-based Creative Hospitality Concepts Restaurant Group (CHC) and their first foray into Texas. This brings a true Chicago-style steakhouse to the area. The original Rosebud Steakhouse opened in 2000, just off Michigan Avenue, one block east of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. The prime cuts include an array of wet-aged steaks from strip to mignon, and filets, with your choice of enhancements from surf and turf Oscar to truffle butter and bordelaise.
Craftway Kitchen, with locations in Frisco and Plano, is adding a Southlake location soon, at 2820 E. Southlake Boulevard. The location was formerly Toasted Yolk café, so the arrival of this upscale entry will be a welcome addition to the area. The menu includes everything from a center-cut filet to fish and chips and a chicken and fig sandwich. The brunch menu is a big draw with its fresh beignets and a popular breakfast pot pie.
La La Land Kind Café is coming soon. Buckle up, Southlake, and get ready to direct traffic, Southlake DPS, because if the Fort Worth opening of La La Land Kind Café has taught us anything…there’s going to be a crowd when this new coffee spot arrives at 2175 E. Southlake Boulevard #180. The former Snappy Salads spot will attract influencers, La La Land groupies, drive thru lines, and droves of coffee snobs very soon. It’s big food and beverage news.
