Who can find Rogers Road? This Fort Worth restaurant still made ‘Fox & Friends’
Everybody in America was talking about the Fox News Channel last week.
Obviously, it must have been because host Steve Doocy came to Courtside Kitchen to eat breakfast for National Pickleball Month.
The network’s morning “Fox & Friends” entertainment show chose to feature “the growing sport of pickleball,” also showing that the sport isn’t limited to dull chain restaurants.
I have no idea how Fox found Courtside Kitchen, 1615 Rogers Road near the Fort Worth Zoo. The location is nearly impossible to access right now due to construction. (Drive through the University Park Village shopping center. It’s across the street from the equally worthy Rogers Roundhouse patio and grill.)
Courtside is mostly known as a family-friendly sports grill and pickleball court.
The menu is ambitious: a poke bowl, a kale salad, chimichurri steak frites, chicken enchiladas in guajillo sauce, a chile relleno stuffed with chicken and side dishes such as cauliflower gratin or grilled asparagus.
On weekends, brunch starts at 10:30 a.m. with pancakes, a bacon-egg-and-avocado sandwich or biscuits and gravy.
The huevos rancheros listed on the menu ($11) technically isn’t that dish. It’s chilaquiles rojos with sunny-side-up eggs on top. (But that’s even better.)
If you’ve been paying $20 for chilaquiles or huevos rancheros at one of the busy local brunch restaurants, give Courtside a try.
This is a restaurant where a family can choose anything from a chile relleno to a chicken-salad sandwich, along with fried pickles, chicken satay, hummus or Southern pimiento cheese.
Courtside isn’t usually open at breakfast, except for Fox News.
It opens at 11 a.m. weekdays and 10:30 a.m. weekends for lunch or brunch and dinner. The kitchen is open until 10 p.m. weeknights and 10:30 p.m. weekends.
If you’re looking for something open later, Rogers Roundhouse across the street serves nightly until 2 a.m.
