Bedford Guide

Where to Eat in Bedford, Texas

Bedford's dining is the solid, everyday Mid-Cities kind, with a real strength in barbecue and Tex-Mex. It's not a destination scene, but the local spots are dependable, and the town's central spot puts far more within a short drive.

Here's where to eat in Bedford.

Barbecue

Bedford does barbecue well. Texas Star BBQ has a reputation for quality across the board, Spring Creek Barbeque is a regional favorite for smoked meats and rolls, and Red Barn Bar-B-Que rounds out the lineup.

For a suburb this size, having several well-regarded barbecue spots is a genuine strength, and it's a big part of Bedford's everyday dining.

Tex-Mex and Mexican

The Tex-Mex side is just as deep. Los Jimadores Tex-Mex Tequila Factory and Lupe's Comida con Sabor are local favorites, and Mirabella Cocina Latina serves modern Mexican in a renovated space at the LOOK Dine-In Cinemas — dinner and a movie in one stop.

Between the taquerias and the sit-down spots, Bedford has plenty of options for fajitas, enchiladas, and margaritas.

Along Central Drive and Nearby

Bedford's restaurants cluster densely around the Central Drive corridor and Bedford Town Center, mixing local kitchens with the familiar chains for everyday meals.

And because Bedford sits in the middle of the Mid-Cities, Fort Worth, Grapevine, and Southlake dining are all a short drive away when you want more than the local lineup.
