Treated a client to lunch and we ordered the Mexicali which consisted of a 8oz steak, two cheese enchiladas and refried beans. Washed it all down with a sweet tea. Customer loved the food and the vibe being set in the Stockyards. Service is always top notch.

Second time visiting H3 and it did not disappoint.. NY strips and ribs were the order. Ribs fell off the bone, and tasty.. NY strips were delicious.. sides were amazing. The Mexican corn with sausage was so good, I could have eaten a bowl of that for a meal. Bathrooms well maintained, and staff friendly.

We loved this place! We had 1 day in Ft. Worth, so we wanted to make sure that we picked a great place to eat. The atmosphere was great, and we loved that they had the big open fire in the kitchen to cook on. It was a really cold day, so it was nice and warm in the restaurant. The food and service were both great too. We would go back.

Hadn't been here in a while but went on a Sunday to meet up with some friends for lunch. Started out saddled up (literally) to the bar with their classic Malone margarita (SO good!) then moved to a table to order food. The guacamole was just 'meh'. Not very flavorful and almost whipped in texture. Very mushy. We had the chicken fried steak with fries (ask for extra seasoning!) and could've split one plate between us as our friends did. We both had really been craving CFS and thus hit the spot! The pecan pie with whipped cream was delicious. Service was very good and if you aren't used to Cowboy culture, you're going to LOVE the decor. Be sure to go next door to see the Stockyards Hotel.

We walked in to see the old-school tables and chairs, all of the wood and dead animal decor, and saddle bar stools with cowboy hats as far as the eye could see. We immediately decided to ask for a table and snuck in just before the rush. Excellent steaks, reasonable service (they were either really busy or a tad understaffed...friendly but not as attentive as you'd expect based on the price), and all in all, totally Stockyards worthy! The drinks were a bit off; the world's best margarita is reminiscent of Elf's world's best cup of coffee, and the old fashioned had soda water in it. But it was easy to get in on a busy night, and the cowboys who frequent this joint are the real deal. Whether you're a local who wants a steak, or a tourist who wants the package cowboy deal, this place has a great vibe. We'll be back!

Everything form the entrance to the exit was wonderful. As soon as we arrived we were warmly greeted and followed our hostess to our table. Looking around this establishment as we sat and gazed at the menu, you knew the food would be wonderful. We ordered our drinks and continued to gaze at the menu and the decor or the restaurant, the ambiance was truly awesome but none of these things exceeded the service. Given that I am horrible with names, I wish I could remember the name of our server as she shared a little history of the place, the food and the business. We ordered and split the Catfish dinner which was fantastic. Plenty for both of us and even left a little in the plate. Portions were great and flavor...... Spot on. This restaurant will stay in our list for years to come. I highly recommend H3 Ranch.

Margarita glasses and beer are your typical XL sizes. I got the Grand Margarita - or something it was called. Good, a bit sugary I ordered a steak medium well, tasty. A good amount of food for the cost

If you're craving a Texas experience, H3 Ranch at the Stockyards is a "travelin_broke approved" must-visit! Their nightly special prime rib dinner is everything you'd hope for--juicy, tender, and served at just the right temperature. It's a meal that feels like a warm Western hug, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Nothing pairs better with a hearty meal than their frosty goblets of draft beer. My selection was Buffalo Butt's Amber ale. Step inside, and you'll be transported to the Old West. From rustic wood beams to unique cowboy memorabilia, the decor adds a charming, immersive backdrop to your dining experience. Come hungry, leave happy, and soak in the Stockyards' signature charm!
