Bricks and Horses is swinging the gates back open on its patio at Bowie House, and the hotel restaurant has used the moment to overhaul its menus across the board. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner all get a reset, with new shareable starters, expanded seafood options and a beefed-up lunch lineup added to the chophouse standards. With an indoor-outdoor layout and a renewed emphasis on Texas-sourced beef, the spot is aiming to feel more like a neighborhood hangout than a hotel dining room. As spring events stack up along Camp Bowie, the refreshed patio is angling to be a regular weekend stop.
According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the patio has officially reopened and the kitchen is rolling out broader lunch, dinner and brunch menus that the paper says "change everything" for the restaurant. The coverage frames the shift as a bid to pull in locals along with hotel guests, with easygoing daytime plates paired with dinner-focused steaks and shareable dishes.
What's new on the menu
The updated online menu at Bricks and Horses shows new and expanded options across all dayparts. Lunch and dinner now feature a Bricks Burger & Fries, Crab Cake Louie, Grilled Blackened Redfish, Tuna Tartare and a Black Truffle Risotto. A raw bar, shareable appetizers and specialty steaks sourced from Texas ranches round things out, signaling the kitchen’s move toward a broader, all-day program. You can see every detail on Bricks and Horses' menu.
Breakfast, biscuits and the Mulberry Room tea
On the breakfast and brunch side, the crowd-pleasers are still in play. Chocolate-chip hot cakes, crème brûlée French toast and a Cajun-spiced fried chicken and waffle stay on the roster, and the kitchen continues to serve small country biscuits meant for butter and housemade preserves, a touch noted in earlier coverage. The restaurant's pie cart and biscuit service were spotlighted by AOL. Bowie House has also introduced a limited Sunday tea service in April and on select dates in May, with seatings at noon and 3 p.m. at $95 per guest, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
How to book and what to expect
Bricks and Horses takes reservations through Resy and can be reached by phone at 682-786-6688 for questions about seating or special requests. Diners can expect an indoor-outdoor setup that includes a garden-facing "Yard" that Bowie House promotes as an outdoor social hub, plus smaller spaces such as the Mulberry Room. For hours and more details, check Bricks and Horses and the Bowie House dining page on Auberge.
Whether you are after a slow-roll brunch, a quick lunch between errands or an evening steak on the patio bricks, the patio return and menu revamp give Bricks and Horses a refreshed footprint in Fort Worth's Cultural District. Expect fuller weekend service and plan ahead if the limited tea service is your main target. The changes plug into a broader wave of new dining options along Camp Bowie and the nearby museum corridor.
