Lunch

Joe T. Garcia's

Fort Worth classic and most famous. Tex Mex - also in the stockyards - Be prepared to wait. Beat the crowd by arriving at 11:45 to avoid the lunch rush. Request a table outside as they have tented patios. Menu highlights include beef fajitas, mini-chimmy's, nachos, and enchiladas. Pro-tip - order your margaritas as the Tino's special.

Pitchers are encouraged for large parties.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This restaurant is cash only.

Another tip: See the 11:30 am Cattle Drive in the Stockyards before heading over!

LoveShack

One of the best burgers in Fort Worth. Casual dining in the middle of the Stockyards. Live Texas country music and rustic feels. Order the dirty love burger - trust us.

Tip: Since the cattle drive starts at 11:30, try getting to Loveshack before the line starts getting long closer to 11:45.
