Things are bustling at Fort Worth restaurants, with optimistic new menus for spring, limited-edition specials, and fancy desserts. There's also been a weird round of closures in the past few weeks, from an upscale bakery to a sweet little diner, piling on to closures previously reported such as VBQ Smokehouse, Jimboy's Tacos, and Funky Picnic Brewery.

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

Stevie’s Diner, a charming gem known for its breakfast, closed at the end of April after 13 years. Owner Steve Prochaska founded the restaurant when he was still in his 20s, with the idea that it would be cool to make a place that was sort of stuck in the 1970s. But he'd had challenges recently, got behind on rent, and the landlord was demanding payment in full or else vacate the premises. "I could try fighting it and staying open longer, but at the end of the day, the amount of business isn't what it used to be," he said in a Facebook post. For those who want a memento, he's selling merchandise on his website.

Tastebuds Eatery, a mom-and-pop that was open for 33 years, including 20 years at its most recent location at McCart & Sycamore, is closing at the end of May. Owners Byron and Sunne Hill posted news of the closure on Facebook, stating that the past few years had proven to be difficult, and they were facing a potential hefty rent increase, on top of already owing back rent. "This, on top of rising food costs, increases in operational expenses, and maintaining the unrelenting speed of restaurant life, have proven even more challenging over time, adding a burden too heavy to bear," the couple said. As of now, their last day for dine-in will be Saturday May 25. During the last week of May, they'll do takeout only, and their last official day will be Friday, May 31.
