North Texans know there aren’t many months for outdoor dining in their notoriously humid pocket of the Lone Star State. But spring calls for breezy meals with spectacular park, city, and pool views.
Head to a spacious patio near the Dallas Arboretum for killer barbecue and a signature gin and strawberry cocktail. Grab an alfresco perch complete with red-checkered tablecloths at an Italian gem. Dine on American classics by a sprawling golf course at PGA America’s headquarters.
Whether you’re on the hunt for a laidback open-air happy hour or a buzzy patio with next-level food, these places have you covered. Read on for a guide to the 12 best restaurants for outdoor dining in Dallas right now.
