Fort Worth suburb with heritage
Historic Southside is a Fort Worth neighborhood that maintains pride in its roots but is also looking toward the future. “It has a lot of passion for its history,” says local Kristina Banta, a Realtor at Century 21 Judge Fite Company with 6 years of experience helping people buy around Fort Worth. “But it's also up and coming. There are a lot of homeowners that are part of Historic Southside’s homeowners' association, and they’re very active in keeping the neighborhood clean.” Growth can be seen in the renovated homes and new properties popping up all over town. But despite this change, the area’s history of African American culture remains strong through culinary staples and heritage museums.

Texas-Soul BBQ at Smoke-A-Holics
Living in Historic Southside gives residents easy access to some of the best barbecue in the city. “This area has a lot of culture. There are barbecue places that are highly enjoyed by the neighborhood and people from the surrounding neighborhoods who come to eat here,” says Banta. On the southside on Rosedale Avenue, Smoke-A-Holics BBQ serves up all the classic meats like brisket, pork ribs and smoked turkey in a small, unassuming brick building. Locals enjoy the cornbread, baked beans and banana pudding almost as much as the barbecue itself. Another nearby staple is Mama E’s Bar-B-Q & Home Cooking, which also offers the classics. In the northern part of town is Wild Acre, a restaurant and beer garden serving burgers and craft beer where residents can gather on the covered patio while their kids run around on the green space. For groceries, a few neighborhood markets are peppered throughout the community, including People Food Store, Circle M Food Store and Bodega South Main.
