Where to eat at Main Street, on and off the festival route: Jake’s, Gus’s and more
Look for local restaurants during Main Street festival
Hey, Bud! What should we get at the Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival?

Mainly, go early to get a parking place, and then have breakfast at Jake’s Burgers or one of the downtown cafes. On the street, look for the three genuine local restaurants with booths: Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken, Corn Dog With No Name (a Fletcher family relative of State Fair fame) and Woolley’s Frozen Custard. The adjacent Fort Worth Art Fair has a $100 VIP section serving food from chef Javier Maysonet of the AC Hotel, chef Juan Baxter McDonald of Magdalenas, chef Leo Medina of Marcona Kitchen, chef Dena Peterson-Shaskan of 3rd St Market, baker Trent Shaskan of Icon Bread and 3rd St. Market and chef Francisco “Paco” Islas of Pacos Mexican Cuisine.
