American Revelry — Restaurant in Burleson

American Revelry has become a family staple for us. Any time we go out to eat or want to share a meal with friends, American Revelry is our #1 choice.

We have taken the time to get know the folks who work there, and while this business has the typical turnover rate for a restaurant, the folks who have stayed are considered dear friends. Since our first visit pre-COVID19, we have been greeted warmly, served kindly, and fed exceedingly well. I would be doing this place a disservice if I did not mention Christian's hospitality, passion for service, and love for his guests. His love flows through the restaurant and through his employees.

The restaurant itself is a comfortable atmosphere with cozy seating that still seems fancy. It's a great aesthetic that blends class and comfort seamlessly. The parking is convenient and free, so that's always a bonus when visiting a restaurant as high-quality as AR. The outdoor seating is wonderful, when the weather allows. The covered area lets you enjoy the outdoors without baking in the sun.

The hosts and servers are always kind, and you can tell they really work hard to treat guests well. I have to speak to a biased towards one of their servers that recently moved to a different opportunity - since they re-opened after shutting down for COVID19 last year, we always asked for Keegan. He is a shining example of the love, hard work, and world-class service Christian tries to make the golden standard for the entire building. Since Keegan will always be the standard for service, few restaurants can live up to him. Thankfully, Christian has a great team and works hard to keep the standard of service high. Folks like Meredith who continue to make every visit special and full of joy fill the void that Keegan left for us. When you stop in, make sure to meet Meredith.

Now the FOOD. Admittedly, AR has had its ups and downs over the years. They've had amazing chefs who've gone off to other opportunities, but their new chef - local TX legend Denise Shavandy?! Wow, she's been a great addition to the AR family, and we have been in love with every one of her chef's creations we've had the pleasure of trying. I'm looking forward to the new seasonal menu she's been working (COMING SOON). Whether it's a perfectly seasoned steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus or a traditional american breakfast or a delicious take on shrimp and grits, you will enjoy it. It's rare an error is made, but no one is perfect - and when provided feedback the staff take it seriously and work diligently to address any issues. Your experience is what matters most, so they will serve in any way they can to make your experience a treasured one.

If you haven't made American Revelry a go-to in your choices of night out, weekend brunch, or work week lunch - do it! You will not regret it. If you let them, these folks will become friends and family that will make every visit a cherished memory. Drive on out and give the...

My first time here and loved it! Since you enter the atmosphere is just perfect, the music, the booths/chairs, the staff, everything is so nice. The waiter Forest was awesome, knowledgeable and gave great recommendations about what to order. The drinks and food were great, I liked that everything is just different than other places. They sell normal food and drinks but they put a spin on them that makes them awesome. The manager/owner came to greet us and ask if everything was good. The wait was not long to get our food or drinks, and we never had an empty glass because the staff always made sure we had anything we need. We tried the mushroom/feta bruschetta, the flounder with potatoes and rosemary, and the brownie for dessert. For drinks I had the old fashioned smoked whisky and the peach drink I forgot the name. My friend had the mule. Everything was good, there's absolutely nothing to complain about. Even the restroom was superior to any other, it even had hair spray and flosser. Everything clean and organized. I live far away but will definitely take the trip and come back.

Edit: I have gone twice more since this first review and as usual, excellent. Yesterday was my third time to celebrate my birthday and had the Lobster brié mac and cheese and omg so delicious. My friend had the sweet potato gnocchi with wagyu sausage and I tried it and it was delicious too. Then had the tuna ahi wontons for appetizers and for drinks had the seasonal mule that has apple and cinnamon (I usually don’t drink mule but it was delicious) and the starry night. My friend also tried the pear-tini which also tasted good. For dessert I had crème brûlée and it was so perfect everything. I love love love this place. Out of the 3 times I have gone, the one I liked “the least” was the second time around summer (everything was great I just preferred the food I had the other 2 times). Service as usual is excellent too. Adding pics from yesterday’s visit. Already planning to go again with my son...

A must try! Hands down my favorite dining experience I've had in recent memory. I am new to the Fort Worth area from Vegas and have had a fair amount of high end dining and this place is top notch.

First let me say that it is easy to set a reservation via OpenTable. You might not always need it but they not only had a table ready for us they gave us a better table for more privacy since we were on a date.

The service was A+ from the hostess to the wait staff to anyone we had contact with. Friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and gave excellent recommendations.

They have a wonderful bar area that isn't intrusive to the dining experience. With lots of great wine selections as well as some excellent signature cocktails! I highly recommend thier Verizon of the mule. Honestly they all sounded amazing and both the drinks we had were phenomenal.

We had the pimento cheese dip starter and I didn't think you could make an elevated pimento cheese but it was delicious and the choice of crackers and veggies with it were great pairings.

I had the shrimp and grits. I'm a southern boy and these were some damn good grits. Thick but creamy. Shrimp were not overcooked and fresh. The sauce was amazing and we even had a staff member suggest some sourdough bread to sop up the sauce with. Again an excellent suggestion!

My date had the salmon and it was perfectly cooked and had an amazing flavor profile. Sweetz salty and a little smoky. Very good size too!

On top of all that I personally have to give a shout out to whoever curates thier playlist. It was excellent! A good mix and it helped set the vibe just as much as the decor did.

You have to try this place at least once and it's like getting a tattoo you will want to come back and get more. They even change their menu and source their...
