Tinie’s, the new restaurant from the owners of Taco Heads, is just starting construction in South Main Village. But the Bearded Lady will open by June at 300 S. Main St. (And in the old Bearded Lady location on West Magnolia Avenue, Magnolia Tree Tavern is open evenings with a limited early menu of burgers and grilled cheese. Have a look at 1229 Seventh Ave., on the corner at Magnolia.)

Hey, Bud! We need your help. Looking for a Mother’s Day brunch buffet in Fort Worth, something similar to Nick and Sam’s in Dallas or The Mercury. Any suggestions?

The Omni Fort Worth hotel, 1300 Houston St., serves the only elaborate ballroom buffet brunch in Fort Worth. It’s $68 ($38 for children 6-12) and features leg of lamb, sliced Paris ham, roast chicken and brisket along with a wide selection of salads, breads, breakfast items and desserts. The prime steakhouses are also open.

Hey, Bud! Did you say $68?
