This is not the time of year new restaurants typically open, but sometimes a delay in the fall can mean a welcome surprise in the winter. We’ve got some good news to close out 2024 and a nod toward 2025. We’re also working on a list of all the rumored openings for the new year, so watch for that to come soon.
At long last, Terra Mediterranean — whose Mediterranean buffet was popular with the business lunch crowd as well as couples on date nights — has returned to Fort Worth in Artisan Circle, formerly known as Crockett Row.
We are hoping 2025 will be a great revival year for restaurants in this area. Si Tapas, Mash’D and Social House are going strong, along with Lucky Duck Bagels and Insomnia Cookies. We are still waiting for news about what will replace Kintaro Ramen, which closed in September.
There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth when beloved Terra closed its Crockett Row location in 2019 after a decade in Cowtown. Return plans were in the works for quite a while, but the Shanaa and Chanaa family owners focused first on opening sister restaurant La Cabrona, an interior restaurant just across the street from Terra in Artisan Circle. 2932 Crockett Street, Fort Worth; 469-277-2775
An Authentic Argentinian restaurant has opened in Euless, serving specialty sandwiches such as the Argentinian favorite Choripán, which is made of grilled chorizo sausage on a crispy white baguette-style roll, and three types of milanesa, a cutlet of chicken or beef that is breaded and fried. The fresh chimichurri sauce at Argentina 163 “will transport you straight to Buenos Aires,” according to the website. Now I’m hungry — and I also want to fly south to Argentina for the winter. 918 E. Harwood Rd., Euless; 817-786-7016
Fire Pot
A bit of news is brewing, albeit slowly, in southwest Fort Worth. A large banner went up several months ago on the side of the building that housed The Keg steakhouse on Southwest Loop 820. The banner announced that a Korean hot pot and barbecue restaurant called Fire Pot would be “coming soon,” but there is no indication yet as to what “soon” might mean. If the layout and upscale design of the previous steakhouse is any indication, this might be a more elevated experience than some of our favorite little strip mall Korean barbecue spots. 5760 SW Loop 820, Fort Worth
