Blueberry, pecan, meringue and more pies added to popular west Fort Worth cafe menu
West Side Cafe adds more desserts, pies
Hey, Bud! I hear some things have changed at West Side Cafe. What do you know?
—Benbrook reader
I know the pie case is full of new desserts.
There’s a distinctive blueberry pie — not too sweet — and also one of the most pecan-loaded pecan pies in town.
Other pies include apple crumble, coconut, chocolate and maybe lemon meringue, all served as mini-pies suitable to cut into two or three slices.
West Side also still has its beloved oat cake and traditional Texas chocolate sheet cake. It’s open for breakfast and lunch daily; 7950 Camp Bowie Blvd. West, westsidecafefw.com.
Bluebonnet Cafe for hot roast beef
Hey, Bud! Does anyone have hot open-face roast beef sandwiches?
—Judy, Fort Worth
That’s become a rarity with restaurants cutting back on roast beef.
But try Bluebonnet Cafe, 2223-A Haltom Road at East Belknap Street.
Burgers N Beyond for broiler burgers
Hey, Bud! Where can you get a charcoal- or wood-grilled hamburger?
—Charles, from a hotmail.com address
Go to Burgers N Beyond, 1704 Galveston Ave. at West Allen Avenue.
