Where to Eat in Southlake, Texas

Southlake Town Square is the heart of the town's dining — an outdoor district of shops and restaurants built around live-oak trees, fountains, and green space, with about two dozen restaurants inside the square alone. It's designed for a park-once-and-walk evening of dinner, shopping, and maybe a movie.

For a suburb without a historic downtown, the Town Square is the stand-in, and it's a polished one. It's the first place to look when you're deciding where to eat in Southlake.

The Town Square lineup leans national and upscale. Ruth's Chris Steakhouse brings the classic steakhouse experience, and P.F. Chang's covers Asian, both anchoring the district. Around them, the mix runs from BurgerFi's burgers and hand-cut fries to Genghis Grill's build-your-own stir-fry bowls.

It's a reliable, wide-ranging set of options — the kind of dining that fits an affluent town where a nice dinner out is part of the routine.

With 130-plus restaurants across town, Southlake's dining doesn't stop at the Town Square. The surrounding shopping centers and corridors fill in with more casual and specialty spots for everyday meals.

And because Southlake sits next to Grapevine and Colleyville, two more strong dining areas — Grapevine's historic Main Street and the restaurants around Colleyville — are only minutes away when you want a change of scene.
