California-based deli to open first Fort Worth location in Westbend development
Another California business coming to Fort Worth is sure to tickle TCU students’ taste buds. Mendocino Farms , a Los Angeles-based sandwich and salad restaurant, is opening off University Drive, according to state licensing documents . The fast casual deli already has six locations in the Dallas area, but this will be the first in Tarrant County.

Is this Texas' best smoked turkey leg? It's at a west Arlington BBQ landmark
For most of its 95-year history, the Arlington Steakhouse was a good choice for Sunday lunch. The current lunch might be the best. Chef Billy Adams Jr., known from east Fort Worth restaurants, is in the kitchen serving “Soul Food Saturdays and Sundays” for what is now Jambo’s BBQ at the Arlington Steakhouse. For the last 10 years, the historic former steakhouse at 1724 W. Division St. between Fort Worth and Dallas has served above-average barbecue as a separate spinoff from the original Jambo’s in Rendon. Adams has moved in weekends to add his superstar smoked turkey legs, fried catfish, barbecued rib tips and smothered pork chops. He sells out every weekend, Because this is so much more than a turkey leg. Using Jambo’s pit, Adams smokes gigantic turkey legs so carefully, they come out soft enough to melt away at the touch of a fork. If you’ve only had a dry, gristly festival turkey leg somewhere, Adams’ cooking redefines turkey legs. I’m not kidding. When I touched the leg bone to pick it up, the dark meat immediately slid straight off and left a clean bone. If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have believed it. The “soul food

A magical Southern-style catfish and chicken stand near Fort Worth
2 Neighbor’s Southern Chicken is the fried catfish and chicken stand we needed. It’s not a chicken tenders drive-through. And it’s not obsessed with the sweet “Nashville hot” fad. 2 Neighbor’s is an honest, straight-up stand serving huge, classic fried catfish fillets and a choice of Southern mild or spicy chicken legs, wings and sandwiches. Once you find 2751 E. Broad St. in Mansfield and the Broad Street Commons shopping center, about 1¼ miles west of Texas 360, it feels like you’re halfway to Tennessee. The Marshall family from Tennessee opened the first 2 Neighbor’s nearly 10 years ago in Cedar Hill and later moved it to DeSoto. The Mansfield location opened in 2025. The chicken wings are closer to the size of a drumstick.
