    I came once back in 2007 & hadn't been back since. MAN, I was missing out! My fiancé and I came for an impromptu Monday night date night. He'd never been, but was delighted as soon as we walked in the door. The atmosphere is beautiful & we loved that it was a quiet night. We ordered some of the aramish, some tabbouleh, and a couple of gyros. Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were gorgeous. We are both huge Mediterranean food fans & we cannot WAIT to go back!

    The freshness and flavors here are always a hit of pure pleasure to my taste buds! Mario has the finest Mediterranean cuisine for nearly 30 years . I can not more highly recommend trying out his consistently delicious food!!!

    Great lebanese restaurant. Plenty of parking. Good food drinks and deserts. You want to smoke a little hooka there is time for that. The prices are reasonable but for dinner get there before 9pm. The kitchen shuts down at 9pm and closes during the week by 10pm. Awesome watermelon mojitos and the daily desert that changes is just the right amount of sweet after a good meal. The portions are good size so if you get an appetizer you may be taking home leftovers. I will be back to try more dishes.

    Came for Mother's Day Brunch and will come back 1k times. There was such a great variety of dishes on the buffet, including vegetarian. Staff was helpful and the drinks were fantastic.

    Excellent food, service and price. Extensive Review: Dedicated parking 100 feet from restaurant. Opened 15min late. Treated very kindly by staff. Higiene was above par. Food was delicious and lots of Mediterranean choices. Fresh, almost cooked to order. Buffet style food, drinks and desserts. Restroom could use some TLC. *** Kabobs/Kafka and Esfiha (pizza like) were Very Good! Hummus and Tabouli were great as well.

    Delicious! My family, partner, & I came here & had just missed the lunch buffet but that was okay - we got the item on the menu that serves an assortment of many things & it did not disappoint! The server was very sweet & we really enjoyed trying all the different foods laid before us. The baklava cake was amazing & we will probably be ordering one specially made in the future for a party (it was that good)! Nice atmosphere, would love to come back when there is belly dancing. The bathroom was clean & unique also. Didn't get pics of the food because we were hungry & it was just that good.

    Met up with family for a birthday dinner and made a reservation just in case. Staff was nice and helpful with suggestions on the menu. The drinks were excellent! Small but tasty appetizers; the dinners were large portions. Fun atmosphere with the dancer. I will definitely go back!

    I have been here a few times in the past. This last time, was a pretty good experience. The food was good as it always is. Only thing, just make sure you read the menu properly prior to ordering. I myself was certain rice came with the dish I ordered, yet the server did not present me with any. So I asked for a side order. Now as for the belly dancer, she was great! Kept the crowd included in all her songs, and was excited to be there. I then went to the hookah section. It's a chill spot for a late night, yet the selection was low. All and all it was a good experience. Just felt a few things could have made it better.

    We celebrated a birthday at Byblos. The food was good although I've had better Mediterranean food. The meats were slightly overcooked and dry. The half chicken was crispy on the outside and undercooked on the inside. It was sent back. The highlight of our evening was the Bellydancing. Everyone from our party had a chance to dance with the professional. It was alot of fun.

    Our first times here. The 3 stars are for the waitress who excellently accommodated and ensured a good time for us on a Monday evening. She spent time tending to our coals and pieces, while catering food and drinks attentively and knowledgeably. The 2 stars deducted - for the gentleman (we assumed was the manager) who sped the close-out process and made us feel like a burden. Food and drink service (before our hookah session) were excellent. About half an hour before closing, however, the manager slammed the door loudly and rushed the closing and bringing in of the “open now” flags and outdoor materials. Unfortunately, there was a rude demeanor as he was signaling (passive-aggressively) us to finish, and then dismissed us RIGHT at closing - without a prior introduction and/or greeting as manager / decent human being. Very sloppily and unprofessionally handled. For those whose first time experiencing hookah in Cowtown would be here- be advised: unpleasant service and treatment from the manager (though we ensured proper tipping of the waitress this evening).

    It was an unexpected surprise. Food was incredible, such variety. Really looking forward to going back. Our waitress was on her second day and was awesome. Thank you all for everything.

  • 5/5 Theresa P. 4 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Overall amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Our waitress was so sweet (was her second day, but so welcoming and efficient). We went pretty late so caught a 10 min glimpse of the belly dancing. We decided to go with the shareable feast because we wanted to try so many things but it was definitely meant for 3-4 people. It came with the app sampler and multiple kebobs which were super tasty. Even the house salad was spiced perfectly. So much food and two drinks for under $100. We took some things home, but if we had more room the entire meal would have been devoured. They make their own pita, and our only regret was not getting a chance to try their pizza. Will definitely be back.

    The food was good, but nothing to write home about. The atmosphere was fine, but the music was a bit loud. The entertainment with the dancer was fun because she engaged the patrons to join her. The service was lacking and slow. I'm not used to taking over two hours to sit down, get drinks, eat at a buffet, and get to settle our bill before we could leave. It was my first time to dine there, and what I experienced may be the norm, but I came away thinking I paid way too much for the experience.

    Love this place! Still has the same character and charm as it did 15+ years ago. Food, ambience, etc exactly as I remember. This place is true to itself and doesn't buy into restaurant industry trends: so refreshing! Love the hookah longue, which is also almost exactly the same as it was 15 years ago, except now there is somehow an awesome outdoor courtyard with a soothing fountain! Love this place as much as I did back in high school and will always drop by whenever I'm in Fort Worth.

    We met Nicole, one of their employees around 9PM at night. Since we were visiting town for business @brownrigg.insure we had a short window of time to visit the Stock Yard area and didn't smoke hookah. But, in case we had time tommorow, Nicole showed us the ambiance of the hookah lounge. The outdoor section transported you to a different time and place due to the juxtaposition of light and perspective. I felt like we were on the set of a film. Check out the back patio, bring some art to sketch or a poem to read. You'll feel right at home. Best Regards, Farzin & Troy (on IG) @carzinekarbrown @marriedtoinsurance

    My husband and I frequent this place and we absolutely love it. The best Mediterranean Lebanese food we’ve had! Excellent service, amazing food and great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Richard M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic food. Excellent service. It’s supposed to have a lively night experience but we were early in the afternoon. Demolished the vegetarian combo. There’s a lunch buffet that ends around three. Highly recommended. There is a parking lot just north of the building kinda hard to see when the street is so busy.

    Portions are good and so was the indoor setting , however food was flavorless. Location is great!

  • 5/5 Armentha B. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and accommodating. I loved it! I wish I had taken more pics of the food!

  • 5/5 Michael B. 5 months ago on Google
    My spouse and I had a terrific time! 😊 The atmosphere was gorgeous and relaxing; the service was friendly and helpful; the drinks were delicious; and the hookahs were delightful. We got jasmine shisha, two mojitos, arak, and a margarita for less than $80 (after 20% tip). Looking back, I think I should've tipped bigger, and I'll remember to do so when we go back. We arrived too late to try the food, so I can't speak for that. But everything else was perfect.

  • 5/5 Nathan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was good and the belly dancer was entertaining. We got the Mezza appetizer which was a nice sampler since this was our first Mediterranean restaurant. Didn't have time gor a hookah, guess we'll have to come back.

  • 1/5 Marcus A. 5 months ago on Google
    Food is ok nothing special about it. We ordered the shareable feast $58.95 not impressed with the quality. We then moved to the lounge, they charge us an extra $12.57 + hooka $23.95 where we ordered one flavor that should have been $18.95. We said ok. Then they added tip for a party of two …. First time last time.

  • 3/5 Melissa B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was suggested by a friend so I paid it a visit. Food was inconsistent, some was good, some was not so good. Some had a big bold flavor, while other dishes lacked any seasoning. We tried all the apps as well as the kabobs.

  • 3/5 Mr Y. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was ok, the staff was friendly. Didn’t have much options on the buffet nor did they refill. Also they also started to remove food from buffet after our 1 st plate, Maybe they need to work on that.

  • 5/5 Vasiliki M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is awesome!!! The food is seriously delicious with lots of options on the menu. And on weekends they have live belly dancing! My family and I are Greek and we loved seeing a cultured show. It’s hard to find places like that in the area so we really enjoyed it. The staff is so kind and friendly , especially Mario (the owners son). He accommodated our large group so well! Thank you for a wonderful evening full of culture, great food, and fun!!

    We stopped by Byblos on a Wednesday night, we were greeted by Marios Hedary and half price bottles of wine! What a win! We ordered the sharable feast, a great way to try SO MANY different dishes! To our surprise, this was more than enough food for the both of us! We enjoyed a bottle of Pinot Grigio with dinner, and then grabbed a bottle of cab while we took our time in the Hookah lounge! We will be back on the weekend for the belly dancers, but also on a quiet weeknight! We got 5 star service, recommendations from Marios, himself AND learned of the rich history of Byblos restaurant and their family.
