Where to Eat in North Richland Hills, Texas

Babe's Chicken Dinner House is the town's headliner — a beloved Southern spot known for family-style fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and homemade biscuits, part of a small North Texas chain with a loyal following. It's the default for comfort food in North Richland Hills.

For a change of pace, La Bistro Italian Restaurant is a local favorite for pasta and Italian classics in a cozy setting. Between the two, the town has a couple of genuine go-to spots.

Around the standouts, North Richland Hills is full of locally owned restaurants and national favorites — Tex-Mex spots with sizzling fajitas and enchiladas, barbecue joints with smoky brisket and ribs, and family diners and cafés for casual meals.

It's practical, varied everyday dining spread along the town's main corridors, the kind a busy suburb runs on.

North Richland Hills sits in the heart of Northeast Tarrant County, so more dining is minutes away — the restaurants of Keller, Colleyville, and Grapevine, plus Southlake Town Square a bit farther.

And Fort Worth's full scene, from the Stockyards to downtown, is a short drive southwest when you want more than the local lineup.
