Fort Worth has the tastiest tidbits in this edition of restaurant news

There's lots of restaurant news emerging from Fort Worth this week, including openings, closures and openings. Menus are changing, lunches are lunching and brunches are brunching.

In Fort Worth, the bad news first: Love Shack Oui, the branch of Tim Love's burger joint on Bluebonnet Circle, just south of TCU, will close. The landlord issued a press release saying that "the landlord of Oui Lounge and Love Shack have agreed to split ways after they could not agree on the direction for the space" and described it as "a mutually beneficial parting of ways." With the Love Shack closure, Love will no longer oversee the operation of the adjacent Oui Lounge.

Fort Worth's Sundance Square announced that a cigar bar will open this fall in its new Commerce Building development. The Silver Leaf Cigar Bar will be on the ground level of the building with a 351-square-foot patio, which would seem to be essential for a smoker joint. The cigar bar comes from Tom Cavinder, who also owns Southwest Elevators. It'll join two other previously announced restaurants at the project: Del Frisco’s Grille and Shannon Wynne's Bird Café.

Popular Fort Worth food truck operation Salsa Limón now has a bricks-and-mortar restaurant, dubbed "Museo," located at 929 University Dr. across from the Modern Art Museum. As befits its location, the restaurant has handcrafted masks and wall art, along with a patio featuring log benches made from pine tree trunks. The menu includes new breakfast items; fish and shrimp tacos; aguas frescas; and beer, wine and champagne. Salsa Limón currently has three food trucks — two in Fort Worth and one slated for the Greenville Avenue area and Klyde Warren Park in Dallas this fall.

The fractured Village Marquee Texas Bar & Grill at Highland Park Village will change its identity entirely, closing in July and reopening in August as two restaurants. Downstairs will become Village Kitchen, featuring executive chef Andre Natera. Upstairs will become Toko V, an Asian sushi spot, which will feature its own sushi chef. The Marquee Bar will remain the Marquee Bar.

After 13 years, the Uptown branch of Frankie's Sports Bar and Grill closed last week after being unable to make a deal with the landlord. Owners Bill and Johnnie Katz said goodbye via a letter in which they thanked their customers and reminded them that there are two other Frankie's located in Lewisville and Fort Worth. Katz vows that he'll find another location in Dallas, and it will go in a new direction.

On the menu
Smashburger has a new shake flavor: peanut butter and jelly, made with Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup and crushed Nutter Butter cookies. It'll be available July 1 through September 30, at all Dallas-Fort Worth locations.

Seasons 52's summer menu includes heirloom tomatoes, basil, corn and watermelon. Heirloom tomato "carpaccio" has tomato slices, goat cheese and basil. Turkey skewer sits on a bed of farro. Steak salad comes with corn, tomatoes and blue cheese.

Chiladas Fresh Mex Grill now offers brunch every Saturday and Sunday, 9 am-1 pm, at the new Park Cities location on Lovers Lane. Menu will include huevos rancheros; breakfast quesadillas; spicy scrambled eggs with green onion, jalapeno, roasted chile and flour tortilla; breakfast tacos; chile relleno; chicken enchiladas; churros; and mimosas.

HG Sply Co on Greenville Avenue is open daily for lunch, 11 am-2 pm. Menu includes beet salad, ginger-garlic hummus, sandwiches, and Chipotle-style "bowls" in which you get to specify your choice of "base" — quinoa, curried cauliflower, greens, sweet potato hash, spicy chickpeas, parsnip-celeriac mash — plus meat and vegetable toppings. Sounds good, even at $14.

Pappas Bros. Steakhouse is better known for steak. But under the impression that seafood is "lighter" than steak, the restaurant has added a couple of seafood dishes designated as summer menu items: oysters on the half shell and sea bass with Maine lobster.

Central 214 has a new dinner menu with summer items from chef Graham Dodds. Not sure how seasonal bacon-wrapped trout or pork chop with cream cheese grits is, but the black-eyed pea fritters with pickled jalapeños and rouille sauce and panzanella salad sound summery. Chef Graham Dodds has also introduced a line of flatbreads as a tribute to chef Randall Copeland, made from a recipe Copeland developed.

Taiwanese restaurant in Frisco brings soup dumplings to 2nd DFW location

Kitchen Master's menu spans traditional dumplings, fresh sashimi, prime cuts, and house noodles.

A Taiwanese restaurant known for its handmade soup dumplings has debuted in Southlake: Kitchen Master is now open at 3311 E. State Hwy. 114, in the space previously occupied by Mughlai Fine Indian Cuisine, which closed in 2024.

The first restaurant opened in Frisco in 2020, followed by locations in Tamsui, Taiwan, and Suwanee, Georgia.

Kitchen Master is owned by Ian Peng, a Taiwanese entrepreneur who moved to the U.S. when he was 8 years old. He comes from a family of restaurant owners in Taipei and grew up working in the kitchen before moving on to Japanese restaurants and eventually launching his own concept.

While the original Frisco location focused on authentic Taiwanese cuisine, the Southlake restaurant expands into broader Pan-Asian influences, along with a deep selection of Japanese dishes inspired by Peng’s background.

Highlights of the Southlake menu include:

  • Mala Berkshire pork house soup dumplings
  • Szechuan Berkshire pork wontons infused with Chinese spices
  • Lamb chops with homemade chimichurri and lemongrass aioli
  • Hamachi crudo with strawberry vinaigrette and yuzu juice

There’s also a nigiri tasting sampler, described as a mini omakase experience featuring chef-selected fish and toppings.

Most entrees are priced under $30, while noodle and rice dishes stay under $20. The restaurant also features a raw bar with traditional sushi rolls starting at $10 and signature rolls at $16. For lunch during the week, an assortment of stir-fry options is available for around $15, each served with soup and a rice bowl.

“Our focus is on the best ingredients we can use," Peng says. "We elevated our menu with prime cuts and better meats that result in a more flavorful and delicate dish."

A full bar serves cocktails made with premium spirits, with an emphasis on artful presentation. A happy hour menu will launch soon, they say.

Spanning 9,000 square feet, the Southlake location includes a raw bar, dedicated cocktail bar, spacious main dining room, and patio.

“For our new restaurants in Georgia and Taiwan, we introduced a more modern look and a relaxed eating environment, and we’ve brought that same vision to Southlake,” Peng says.

Hours are 11am-9 pm Tuesday-Thursday and 11 am-11 pm Friday-Saturday. It is closed Sunday and Monday.

While the restaurant is already open for service, they are planning a grand opening event in September, they say.
