A visit to Ft. Worth is not complete without experiencing Joe T's and the stockyards. Beautiful outdoor patio, and great margaritas. Be careful, they are stronger than most. Order a dinner with nachos.
Joe is the owner - you will most likely see him strolling the tables greeting long time customers - say hey to Joe - tell him Sharon Mays sent you!!! Make sure you get the history! Joe T's has been there since the 1930's - while family owned by several generations - they have been serving generations of Ft. Worth families all these years.
Cash only and if you forget, there is an atm onsite.

Neighborhoods
You are staying in University West. Our neighborhood is unique and filled with many historical homes from the 1930's and 40's and now some new builds. With TCU, University Christian Church, University Baptist Church, Colonial Country Club and the Zoo as neighbors, there's never a dull moment yet we are able to maintain a great quality of life for our families. University West is one of the hottest real estate markets in Ft. Worth. With its proximity to Downtown, shopping, easy access to freeways - I think it's the best neighborhood in town!!!
