James Provisions — Restaurant in Hurst

Holy moly. What a meal. I don't know what to touch on first. My family had a lovely experience. Even though it was warm outside I opted for us to sit on the patio. I love patios and this patio is adorable. It is going to be spectacular by next spring, but until then all the plants are so full of life and comforting. The inside was very modern and nice, but to experience the love of the food sit on the patio. This is a farm to table style restaurant, so their herbs come from their garden and other items come from farmers and local bakeries. I love that they support local. The staff that greeted my family and I were just one of a kind. It was the end of the day, but it felt like everyone had 100% REM the evening before and love in their heart. The staff were kind, informative and just wanted to be helpful. I wish all restaurants had this kind of love. I didn't grab everyone's names, shame on me, but Eli did a great job for his second day on the job. He knew ingredients and he didn't miss a beat to come check on us. Now for everyones favorite part, food. Here's the list of food and drinks: beet dip, roasted chickpeas, Berry tart, roasted cauliflower, St Ann's, St Arnold ginger beer, cucumber mint tea, and the Fiore Frizzante. First I loved everything, nothing was a disappointment, but if I had to rank my favorites it would be food 1) roasted cauliflower, 2) Berry tart, 3) chickpeas, and 4)Beet dip and drinks 1) st. Ann's, 2) Frizzante, 3) mint tea, and 4) ginger beer. Cauliflower - roasted really well, the turmeric and other spices made it more sweet than earthy/savory and it had green olives that just paired really well. Berry tart - hold heart. The jam and berries tasted fresh and not overly sweet. The tart crust looked to have a little .... Cinnamon in it. Love. It had blackberries which tasted like each one was a perfect ripened berry. Chickpeas - I have tried to make them this crunchy and never succeeded, but James Provision KNOWS the process. A perfect protein snack that is not greasy. Beet dip - this is basically hummus with roasted beets, but you would not know there is a healthy root veggie in there is the color wasn't gorgeous. I am such a picky critic about hummus and dips but this one I loved. Like I said, it was all great. I am so happy my family joined me on this treat and we look forward to coming back. Also, so people may point out that this place is a little pricey, but don't forget quality of food and location make up cost too. I wouldn't compromise on either of those to...

The food is outstanding! We ordered the classic burger with rosemary potatoes and the salmon tacos which came with an aïoli and a gremolata. Both were absolutely wonderful. The burger does not come with condiments so be sure to ask for them when you order, they are free. I’m not sure why so many people are confused about the counter service process. Stand in line, order your food, they bring it to your table. Any server can bring you something else if you need another drink or dessert, etc. They will just ring you up. You do not have to go stand in line again. Also, people mentioned that it was awkward to have to tip before eating. This is not a full-service restaurant, your tip is for the counter people and the kitchen which is different than having a server who is dedicated to your table. Tip what you think is appropriate for counter service. The beer list is limited but has some excellent craft options not just the standard Ben E offering. My husband had one of the hazy IPAs and I had the cucumber mint tea. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie for dessert which came out warm with a small glass of milk. I will...

We were a group of six on a Friday night, March 15th, 2024 and had seen the promotions for James Provisions on Facebook. Our group ordered the pickled appetizer and fried chickpeas. Entrees ordered were the BLT, the Favorite Bowl, two classic burgers and two shrimp with polenta and harissa. The food is ordered at the counter and then delivered to the tables. The wait time will be for a restaurant and not a fast food place. The food was AMAZING! I highly recommend the pickled appetizer - the radishes and jalapeños were my personal favorite. The friend who ordered the Favorite Bowl said that she too loved the radishes in her dish and she will order it again next time. The classic burgers were served with condiments on the side atop a brioche bun with deliciously browned potatoes that were crispy on the outside and smooth heaven on the inside. And for me…. The STAR of the evening was that amazing Shrimp & Polenta. It was DIVINE! And after the appetizers, I was only able to finish half of my entree. We packed it up and I was able to enjoy it the...
