Best pick so far for Restaurant Week? It might be lunch at B&B
The new B&B Butchers & Restaurant is hitting its stride just in time for DFW Restaurant Week.
Known for its pricey indulgences — a $120 fried steak sandwich, for example — B&B is going all out for Restaurant Week, serving $20 lunch specials and $49 dinners through Sept. 3.
Surprise: The lunch portions are dinner-sized. A pan-seared salmon filet with mushrooms was a surprising value for $20, including a wedge salad, soup or an appetizer portion of meatballs or brisket ravioli.
A $20 entree steak salad arrived double-stacked with filet mignon, beefsteak tomatoes, blue cheese and balsamic vinaigrette .
The lunch menu is served until 4 p.m. daily. That menu also includes a $40 steak platter with a filet mignon and an appetizer.
Dessert such as chocolate cake, carrot cake or bread pudding is an extra $5.
B&B’s thick-cut bacon is available as a dinner appetizer.
Each $49 dinner sold means a $10 donation to the Lena Pope children’s agency in Fort Worth. The $20 lunches spark a $4 donation; for more, see dfwrestaurantweek.com .
After a bumpy start, Houston-based B&B is now in full swing with a regular weekday happy hour menu of $12 sliders, $12-$14 pizzas and deli snacks.
There’s also a special $55 early-bird dinner menu daily 4 p.m.-6 p.m., although right now the $49 Restaurant Week menu is a better deal.
B&B’s crowds are picking up on the patio and at weekend brunch, so book ahead: 5212 Marathon Ave., 817-737-5212, bbbutchers.com/fortworth/.
