Best Restaurants Near AT&T Stadium & Across DFW

Where World Cup visitors should eat: walk-to-stadium spots, real Texas BBQ pilgrimages, late-night options, and Tex-Mex worth the drive.

TL;DR

For dinner before a match at AT&T Stadium, book a table at Texas Live! (immediately south of the stadium) or elsewhere in the Arlington Entertainment District — reservations are essential. For a real Texas BBQ pilgrimage, head to Dallas (Pecan Lodge area) or Fort Worth on a non-match day. For late-night post-match dining, Texas Live! and Greenville Avenue in Dallas stay open the latest.
