Since Bonnell’s Restaurant opened in 2001, it has been hailed as the beginning of a new chapter in the book of fine Texas cuisine and has become a premier dining destination in Fort Worth and across Texas. Bonnell’s main fare of certified Texas organic beef, wild game specialties, and fresh gulf seafood exhibits regional style with spices that fuse Southwestern, Creole, and Mexican influences. Bonnell’s Restaurant is dedicated to working with local Texas farmers and ranchers to serve its patrons the highest quality and most unique products. Almost all of the grass-fed beef, venison, quail, wild boar, fish, oysters, produce, cheeses, and fresh herbs served at Bonnell’s are from Texas. It’s their intimate relationship with food products that makes Bonnell’s a truly unique Texas concept.
