Quick question for you guys. My wife and I will be flying to Ft.Worth in a few weeks to pick up a Mercedes S500 and then driving back to MA. I haven't been down there since I was a kid so are there any recommendations on a few quick things to see on our ride out of the state? We're been driving on route 30 towards Little Rock.

Oh yeah, I like steak so I wouldn't mind eating one while I'm down there!

Thanks!
Tom

Well, you could detour on I-20 through LA and check out the casinos. Casino Magic in Bosier City was my favorite up there.

There really isn't much to see once you get out of the D/FW area. And steak places are all over the place. I haven't lived up there for about 5 years now, but Saltgrass or Texas Land & Cattle are usually pretty consistent. If you really want to go over the top, look up Del Frisco.

If you're into amusement parks and roller coasters, Arlington has Six Flags.

If you want to check out the drag strip, you can detour south to Ennis.

All depends on what tickles your fancy.

make sure you go to the Stockyards in Ft Worth if you wanna good steak, they have about 40 different steak houses down there....go out to texas motor speedway, even just to gawk for a few minutes.hit arlington up for the ball park and the fun bars...etc etc

Del Frisco's looks pretty good! I put that in my Texas folder I wish I had a week to take the trip. I figure it's about an 1800 mile ride that I can do in a leisurely 2 days. I'll add a 3rd day for stops so I don't feel like I just jumped in the car and raced home. 6 Flags is a possibility or any other cool "points of interest" along the road. I'll have to come back someday and spend some more time down there.

There is a place in Dallas that you HAVE to go to if you really like to eat steak and stuff...Texas De Brazil but, the best steak place: Smith & Wolensky run a search and reserve a seat! Mom says its better than Del Frisco

Cattleman's steakhouse at the stockyards is damn good, kinda high priced, but great steak!
What day are you comin down?

Tom,

Don't forget our local flavor, Tex-Mex is some of the best eatin in the world and you can find it just about everywhere in these parts. Stick with Del Friscos or Bobs Chop House for the best Steaks in the world.

Del Friscos is the best steak period. Go there. If your comming with your wife to pick up a Benz im not sure theres gonna be anything worth seeing. As was said, 6 flags, Ennis 1/4 mile, TMS, all these are far apart and not really worth seeing IMO.

If you're a Dallas Cowboys fan you can take a tour of Texas Stadium in Irving. You can go to the Cowboys website and get the details there. You get to go into Jerry Jones' private suite, in the stands, the end zone club, meeting room, locker room and lastly on the field. I did the tour a couple of years ago and it was fun. I didn't realize how much Texas Stadium has slipped though. I'm glad the Cowboys are building their new home.

If you want to do something in Dallas, get on I-45 south and stop at the next big city Houston. LOL!!!!

Have fun Tom, we drive up to Dallas a couple time a year to catch a Rangers game.

PiP

Uh, why would he go to DallASS when there is one of those in downtown Ft Worth?

When did the Rangers move to Dallas?

Saltgrass is also good.

man, hands down, im a steak guy myself and TL&C's 14 oz. smoked sirlion is the best! i'd eat it everyday, every meal if i could...check that place out! you wont be dissappointed!

Jon

P.S. best if you get it MR or Medium..

Elite_Hot_Rod

3 Forks is top notch also. The Anteries is the revolving ball on the Reunion Tower, the food there sucks.

PiP

You can't compare a chain restaurant like Texas Land & Cattle to Del Friscos!
