    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.

    Yonx Pizza seduces north Dallas suburbs with New York-style pies

    Yonx Pizza

    Yonx Pizza, by the slice.

    A pizzeria with a dedicated following has debuted in Melissa: Yonx Pizza Bar & Co., an indie spot that does New York-style pizzas as well as pizza by the slice, has opened a location at 1521 McKinney St. #700 — an address that had pizza history as it was home for nearly a decade to a Palio's Pizza, which closed in 2025.

    Yonx is from Robert Hede, a restaurant veteran who was previously involved with the Village Burger Bar chain, where he was a partner. He switched from burgers to pizza in 2022 when he connected with NY Pizza and Pints, a small local pizzeria chain, opening a location in Wylie at 1125 FM 544 #800. After two years, he broke off from the chain to found Yonx at the same address.

    Yonx does the kind of New York-style thin-crust pizza that Dallas-Fort Worth loves, in a standard 14-inch, as well as a massive 24-inch "Kong" size. They also do slices, which can be ordered as a lunch with a Caesar salad for $9.99.

    Varieties include familiar favorites like pepperoni, as well as slightly gourmet options with New York-inspired names such as:

    • Balsamic on Bleeker St., with garlic sauce, mushrooms, shaved ribeye, mozzarella cheese, arugula, and balsamic drizzle
    • Bronx Bomb, with Sicilian marinara, mozzarella, meatballs, mushrooms, and ricotta cheese
    • Brooklyn, basically a meat-lovers with Sicilian marinara, mozzarella, sliced ham, chopped meatball, beef, & pepperoni
    • Greenwich Garden, a vegetarian with Sicilian marinara, mozzarella, red & green bell peppers, white onions, mushrooms, spinach, & black olives

    Prices range from $16 for a 14-inch cheese pizza to $46 for a NY Giant Supreme Soho with Sicilian marinara, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, beef, red & green bell peppers, white onions, sliced mushrooms, & black olives.

    There are also sandwiches on house-made toasted focaccia such as the Italian tower with melted provolone cheese, sliced ham, salami, lettuce, red onion, pepperoncinis, & sundried tomato aioli.

    Appetizers include comforting soups served in a bread bowl including tomato basil and jalapeno cream soup with charred jalapenos. Plus wings, garlic knots, and "Brooklyn Ballers" — their signature meatballs in marinara, made in-house. topped with whipped ricotta and Parmesan, served with pesto and focaccia ends.

    A full bar features frozen margaritas and frozen mojitos made with agave gold tequila. The best day to order those is "Frozen Fridays" from 11 am-10:30 pm when the blueberry mojitos are $6 and the margaritas are $5.

    The Melissa location opened in January, with the same menu as the Wylie original, and has been met with an unprecedented wave of positive reviews on Facebook: one comment after another raving over how great the pizza is, and what a godsend it is — positive reviews that began to stack up even before the place had officially opened, the likes of which have been rarely seen.

    This location boasts almost double the size of the original in Wylie, with a covered patio where they'll host live music on the weekends outside.

    Hede, who has been hands-on at the Melissa location since it opened, says he's all-in on these northernmost suburbs of Dallas.

    "I like this area — I feel like all the growth is heading out in this direction, there's just a lot of activity up here," he says.
