Comments:  There
were lots of TVs here for my dad and I to watch sports.  The bar area was walled off from the rest of the restaurant.  We sat on the restaurant side.  It kind of looked like a diner with TVs.  Our food was alright and our server was nice. -The Blackwell Boys

Noise Level: Ear plugs please!
Food:  
Ordered:   Half Cheese/Half Pepperoni Pizza (Our family of four was going to order two pizzas but our server seemed to think one would be enough; he was wrong.)

Looks: ☺︎☺︎☺︎


Comments:  
This place had a lot of cool things going on and seemed very busy.  A lot of grownups were drinking out of big buckets or bowls of colorful drinks.  The pizza was ok.  The one cool thing for families who can never agree on toppings is that they let you order one speciality pizza on one side of the pizza and another speciality pizza on the other half.  We just went with half cheese and half pepperoni.  My brother really seemed to like the pepperoni.  If we go back, I'll be trying something else. -The Blackwell Boys

Comments:  Ok, so this may not be a restaurant that is normally geared towards kids...  Try going at lunch time or at that odd time between lunch and dinner.  The food there is too good to pass up.  Ordering without a kids' menu can be tricky especially if you have a picky little brother like mine.  My parents never want to buy him a grownup meal cause they know he probably won't eat it.  To get around this we like to order appetizers.  We all offer up our suggestions and majority or (parents rule).  Not fair.  

The Pretzels were my favorite.  They were everyone's favorite!  The cinnamon butter that came with them made them so amazing!  I cannot wait to go back just for the pretzels.  The Shirley Temples were also amazing, probably the best I've ever had.  It helped that there were two cherries in each drink.

The only reason I couldn't give this place a full 5 stars is because it was such a mess!  Lots of tables were covered in dirty dishes and never got cleaned the entire time we were there.  Our server was nice and took good care of us, but I think she was the only server in the entire place.  There was a big Help Wanted sign hanging on the front door.  I hope they get the help they need soon. -The Blackwell Boys

McAlister's Deli - Heritage Trace, Ft Worth, TX

Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎

 Kids' Menu: Yes
Proportions: ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Noise Level: Just right
Food:  
Ordered:   One delicious salad, a cup of soup, and a $0.99 kids' pizza
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎☺︎

Comments:  Not bad!  Any place that provides nourishment other than greasy fries and some sad looking burger hidden under two stale buns for $0.99 is clearly the winner. My $0.99 pizza was pretty good and I'm sure my parents would have bought me another one if I were still hungry, but I wasn't. My mom liked the salad she had and my brother liked whatever soup he had.  We will definitely be back to try more of their $0.99 Kids' Meals.

Mi Cocina - Alliance, Ft Worth, TX




Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
 Kids' Menu: Yes
Proportions: ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Noise Level: On the loud side.  (Mom's Note: Don't come late unless on a date with dad or out on the town for girls' night out; the crowd gets lively.)
Food:  
Ordered:   Kids' Steak Fajitas, Kids' Taquitos
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎

Comments:  The food was pretty good.  I'd recommend the raspberry lemonade.  It was delicious!  The kids' meals came with rice and beans, but our server substituted the beans for an extra helping of rice since my little brother doesn't like them. The restaurant was very busy but we were well taken care of.
