Great spot to rest before a flight. Worth the wait. We’ve visited the Capital One lounge in Fort Worth as well as were equally as pleased with our visits. One of the best lounge experiences. ⏳ Wait time: We visited on a Monday before New Years so it was understandably busy. We had 10 groups in front of us when we checked in for the waitlist. The wait was about 25 min. — waiting is worth it since the experience inside does not feel to crowded, cramped and dirty. ✨ Highlights • Amazing food and cocktail selection! Summer the bartender was great and flattered me by asking for my card (at almost 30!) • Best food was the chicken tinga — everything comes in great tiny portions to be able to try it all and go back for seconds guilt free! • The “grab and go” station is great to grab a quick bite if you’re in a rush or want a drink to go. ✏️ Things to note: • You must show your Capital One card — on app, tap to pay or the physical card are all • Front check in staff is as they typically are — curt and unwelcoming, very unkind and unhelpful. Any extra questions or interaction was met with sighs like it was a huge bother to help. • The staff in the lounge itself such as the cleaning staff are always attentive and helpful!

2025-Nov The food looks and tastes great! Impeccable service working conscientiously to clean after departing guests and servicing current guests. The front counter has many grab and go items for your airplane adventure. The soda fountain has pub style draw levers for cherry soda, root beer, filtered cold water, lemonade, vanilla cream soda, etc. The place has glass that looks down at the concourse level through frosted panels, comfortable seating, clean restrooms, a shower, etc. The elevator (for disabled access) appears disconcertingly like a service elevator in an employee only area but is still convenient, and some of the seating shows worn-through areas. This lounge was one of the best I’ve been in from any brand, but the worn seating, and the behind-the-scenes vibe of the accessibility elevator doesn’t let me give it the full five star treatment.

Great place for a long layover! Delicious food (we were there for breakfast and lunch). Comfy seating. Quiet atmosphere. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Didn't use the showers, but love that they're available. We initially had to get on the waitinglist to get in, but ended up only waiting about 10 minutes.

One of my favorite airport lounges! Delicious food and drinks, great service, and very clean. They have additional services like shower and work rooms to book as well. The best part is that you can take food to go! Perfect if you have a shorter layover and don’t have too much time to sit and eat food in the lounge. I stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon and there was no wait, though the lounge was moderately full inside.
