This roundup of restaurant news around Fort Worth includes quiet openings that have recently taken place, openings that are coming soon, and openings down the road. There's also a few places doing new menus for spring.

Here's what's happening in Fort Worth restaurant news:

Theodore's Steak and Seafood is a newly opened restaurant in the former Campo Verde Mexican Bar & Grill, the Dalworthington Gardens restaurant at 2918 W. Pioneer Pkwy., which was famous for its Christmas lights. Theodore's is from chef Mouhssine "Moose" Benhamacht and business partner Liesl Best, who also own Cafe Americana in Arlington. They took over Campo Verde Mexican Bar & Grill in 2025, then closed it at the end of the year. Now they are doing the steakhouse they've always wanted. Theodore's menu offers interactive dishes like the two-pound tomahawk steak and two-pound porterhouse steak which are carved at the table. Other dishes include seafood risotto, lamb chops, short rib stroganoff, sea bass, and wedge salad. Decor features homages to President Theodore Roosevelt, for whom the restaurant is named.

Zaxby's, the Southern fast-casual chain, is opening a new location at 3051 S. University Dr., next to TCU and the TCU Bookstore, in a space that's previously been home to a Banh Shop and before that, Pizza Snob. Zaxby's is known for their famous chicken fingerz, wings, zalads, and sauces, and also for whimsically using the letter "Z" to replace the letter "S" on certain menu items. They currently have 21 locations across Texas, with five in the DFW area including Dallas, Keller, Richardson, Mansfield, and Fort Worth at 5369 Sycamore School Rd.

The Beacon Cafe, a Fort Worth favorite for breakfast and lunch, is on the move. The restaurant, which was previously at 12721 US-287 in far northwest Fort Worth until they got nudged out of that space by their landlord in 2025, was operating out of a shared space with Frescos, another restaurant, but operating two businesses under one roof became too much of a challenge. They're considering looking for a new space but for now are doing catering and chef-prepared meals from their produce store at 6871 Rufe Snow Dr.

K-Pot Korean BBQ and Hot Pot, a Korean BBQ and hot spot chain, continues to work on opening a location in the Alliance Town Center, at 2600 N. Tarrant Pkwy. near Portillo's. K-Pot does Korean BBQ basics like bulgogli (a thin beef); kalbi short ribs; and banchan, a series of small dishes that accompany entrees such as kimchi and pickled radishes. The chain currently has more than 100 restaurants open with many more on the way, or so they say.

Golden Glaze Donuts has opened two new Dallas-Fort Worth locations: in Grapevine, at 92646 William D. Tate Ave., and in Saginaw at 1200 S Blue Mound Rd, #140, joining locations in Dallas, Arlington, Fort Worth, Carrollton, and North Richland Hills. They do made-from-scratch doughnuts with a motto "golden, glazed and gone by noon." The menu offers glazed doughnuts, croissant sandwiches, kolaches, apple fritters, and cinnamon rolls.

Rings Donuts, a small family-owned shop that opened in Dallas in 2022, has unveiled a second location in Colleyville, at 1101 Cheek-Sparger Rd. #103. They offer a variety of doughnuts, including chocolate, glazed, blueberry fritters; doughnut holes; cinnamon rolls; and filled doughnuts.

Lazy Dog Restaurants has a new menu of seasonal dishes and cocktails for spring. Highlights include Korean fried chicken bao buns, chicken shawarma salad, deviled egg salad sandwich, chili-garlic cucumbers, and rigatori with burrata cheese and greens. New cocktails include a watermelon margarita and a yuzu skinny margarita. It's available at all six DFW locations in Addison, Allen, Arlington, Euless/Glade Springs, Plano, and Garland.
