I prefer Twin Peaks to Hooters! Especially the one down in Austin where you can get nekid college chicks to sit on your police car while you take photos.

Downtown Ft. Worth has a ton of good restaurants all within walking distance of the convention center.  It all depends on what your preference and budget for food is.

"Risky's BBQ" is a Ft. Worth staple.  Corner of Main and 2nd.
Across from Risky's is "Cowtown diner".  Home style cooking.  Pretty awesome.
Trendy and hip would be "Grace".  A bar/resturant.  Pricey, but cool.  777 Main St.
High end with a cool roof top bar, is "Reatta".  Eclectic menu includes ostrich...
Several steak places ranging from high end to low end.  "Ruth's Cris", "Del Frisco's", "Mercury Chop House".
My Wife's favorite is "Piranha's Killer Sushi".  4th street, west of Throckmorton.
"Flying Saucer Emporium" for good/inexpensive German food.  Also roof top.
There is also Tex Mex.

Downtown Ft. Worth is a very safe place to walk around at night.  The city has created a nice area downtown. If you hit "Sundance Square", you will find many other resturants as well.
Went to Risckys last night and the food & service was great! Still deciding on what to do tonight...the convention offers dinner but not sure what we want to do.

We did walk around Sundance Square...the lighting all over the trees was fantastic!
