Taste Community Restaurant
1200 S Main Street, Fort Worth TX 76104
Taste Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit established simply to feed people one community at a time. One of every six Americans faces the reality that they may not be able to provide for their next meal. There are programs in place that help; however, in Tarrant County, 36 percent of this food insecure population live above the poverty level and receive no government help. Our mission is to feed, educate, and serve our community so they may “…taste and see the Lord is good.” Psalm 34:8. We believe everyone should have access to healthy nutritional food. Our vision is to see our community become the solution to the challenges our community faces as it relates to hunger. Our first project, a non-profit restaurant, focuses on healthy, quality meals made from fresh ingredients. Our menu has no prices. This is a give and take concept. We ask guests to do one of the following: 1) pay what you can afford. 2) pay what you would typically pay. 3) pay what you would typically pay, plus a little extra.

Loved the pumpkin/squash soup, roasted sweet potato and bread pudding. Pasta soup to thin for our taste and the salad was dry with 4 clumped dried cherries. Love the patio addition. On line RSVP so convenient.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warmth and gracious hospitality. The concept of all being treated with dignity was extremely heartwarming. The menu was diverse and well received by all. Portions were large and excellent. We didn't have any room for the offered dessert of bread pudding or apple crisp (or like). Cant wait to tell all about TASTE! We will return!

This is the 2nd time I was able to come. The 1st, I was unable to pay. It was so good that I almost cried from gratitude. I told myself that I would return when I could pay. It was just as an incredible experience as the first. Without having much money since becoming destitute, I haven't been able to enjoy some of the normal things in life. Such as having a healthy meal, or sitting in a nice restaurant. I am so grateful that a restaurant like yours exists. Thank you and namaste.
