Little Red Wasp - American restaurant in Fort Worth - 808 Main St, USA

This place has amazing food, okay drinks (see full review below for details) and good service. We were there for brunch on a Saturday and we were seated quickly and served our first round of drinks pretty fast, but their drink menu is a little confusing especially regarding the mimosas. Everyone agreed the drinks were a little watered down and overall just okay, which made them overpriced in our opinion. Could have just been a newer bartender or just a bad day. My wife and I split the chicken biscuit and the fried French toast and they were both amazing! I think we both preferred the chicken biscuit a little more. However, I would definitely recommend them both. Service was good overall, yet after our first round and food we barely saw the waiter. Waiter. I was going to order a second round for myself and my wife and never got the chance. This is a very small annoyance because that ultimately saved us money, everyone else was professional and polite and enjoyable. Will definitely consider going back if we're in the downtown area for brunch.

Although my other rating criteria are a 4 and a 3, restaurants should be first and foremost judged on their food... makes sense. The food here was not good. Mainly, I didn't like the menu. Too much nonsense added into items that are perfectly fine without some ridiculous foodie alteration. For example, swapping coleslaw for sauerkraut on a Reuben. If you do this, it's not a Reuben... it's corned beef with coleslaw. (I used this example because I hate coleslaw.) The other thing that's off-putting are the prices. $21 for a Reuben sandwich (that's not even a Reuben sandwich) is beyond absurd. Nothing on the menu is remotely in the realm of reality with their prices.

Visited Little Red Wasp, and I liked it! It was really cold in there, but that probably has something to do with it being 10 degrees outside; I'd suggest sitting opposite the door. I ordered the Cobb salad...had no idea so much blue cheese came on it because it's not listed on the menu. I asked what came on it, and that never came up, so I was surprised when I saw my 'not so favorite' cheese piled high on my salad. I was able to scoop out most of it and add cheddar cheese, which was brought as a replacement. The salad portion was large, which is great! Get it with the Red Wine Vinagerette- very good! My lunch buddy ordered the Brussel Sprouts, which were slappin'! She loved her tomato soup as well. I'll definitely be back to try some other things off the menu!

Was very disappointed in my meal. Come for lunch on a Friday and order the shrimp and grits. My meal was the last to come to the table and was the worst. It came out warm and not fresh. The grits were tasteless. Added salt and paper and it’s was still bland. Same with the shrimp, no flavor what-so-ever. Sausage was small and didn’t seem like it was good quality. Ended up sending it back and ordering something else. Everyone else food at the table looked good and they didn’t have many complaints. My second order took a very long time to come out; end up having to take it Togo. However, the manager was accommodating despite my dissatisfaction in my meal.

Great spot. Brisket pot stickers were great, we got the hot dog quartered as an appetizer, also great - wings edible but nothing special. The corned beef and chicken sandwiches as pictured were excellent, with the chicken surprising me in that its at least as good as the beef. Great 🍸 as well, overall solid choice. A little pricey, three appetizers, 5 alcoholic drinks, four entress about $225 before tip, BUT the service was excellent and quality of the food itself was five stars.

Sat at the bar for cocktails and apps on my husband's birthday while visiting from Philly. Deviled eggs were really good and the brisket potstickers were delicious. Tried a few different cocktails from the menu and they were all really good but the "Persephone's Fate" was amazing. (I tried to recreate it at home, but it wasn't the same.) See Jasmine at the bar, she was absolutely lovely! Highly recommend!

Little Red Wasp is a nice restaurant with a warm ambiance and impeccable service that is perfect for a night out with friends. On my recent visit, I had the pleasure of having their Spaghetti + Meatballs, Tomato and Basil Soup, and a Manhattan. The Spaghetti + Meatballs at Little Red Wasp was perfect. The pasta had the perfect amount of tomato sauce that was packed full of flavor. What truly stole the show, though, were the meatballs. They were tender and full of savory goodness. They truly were some of the best meatballs I’ve had. Each bite was a harmonious blend of herbs and spices. Accompanying the pasta was a bowl of Tomato and Basil Soup that was like a comforting hug on a chilly evening. The soup had a velvety texture and a bright, robust tomato flavor that was beautifully balanced by the fresh basil. The fragrant aroma of basil filled the air as I savored each spoonful. To complement my meal, I ordered a Manhattan cocktail. The balance of sweet vermouth, aromatic bitters, and the rye was a true testament to the mixologist's skill. What sets Little Red Wasp apart is not just the delectable food but also the impeccable service and cozy ambiance. The staff's attentiveness and knowledge of the menu were impressive, making me feel welcomed and valued throughout my dining experience. In conclusion, Little Red Wasp is a great restaurant that deserves every bit of acclaim it receives. The Spaghetti + Meatballs and Tomato and Basil Soup are must-tries for anyone seeking a taste of Italian comfort food done to perfection. Top it off with a well-crafted Manhattan cocktail, and you have the recipe for a memorable dining experience. Little Red Wasp is a true gem in the heart of Fort Worth, and I can't wait to return for my return.

So good we had another lunch there, two days after the first meal! When I say that my mouth waters when I think about their food, I’m NOT exaggerating!!! We ordered the whipped ricotta (it comes with toasted sourdough and honey-drizzled fresh tomatoes!) I’ve been googling recipes ever since!!! The meatball sandwich, BLT, Crispy chicken, Mac and cheese, and burgers were all terrific. I will absolutely return, the next time I’m in Ft. Worth.
