FIREBIRDS WOOD FIRED GRILL

With a projected spring opening, this steakhouse chain is considered polished casual. All proteins are cooked on its signature open-flame grill using local woods like oak and pecan.

Reservations are highly recommended or online ordering is available for pick up or delivery.

BOHEMIAN BULL

BOHEMIANBULL.COM

How ‘bout the That’s My Jam Burger with bacon jam, or the Truffle Burger, Black Bean Burger or Mac and Cheese Bites? Yeah, this restaurant serves a unique twist on Southern comfort food with freshly sourced ingredients prepared on site daily. Owners Dennis and Sonja Johnson personally greet customers every chance they get to create a family-friendly, comfortable atmosphere. With 24 local craft beers on tap, you’ll find a brew that is you.

OISHII SUSHI & PAN ASIAN CUISINE

OISHIIRESTAURANTS.COM

Japanese for “delicious,” Oishii serves more than sushi. Feast on pho, Vietnamese vermicelli or Singapore noodles and chicken. Tofu and veggie combinations are available, too.

Restaurants representing all compass points are firmly anchored in Grapevine (and the best barbecue is here, too).

BY JACK DONOVAN

Across the great state of Texas, the food industry is the benchmark for restaurants and cafes the whole world over. And within this vast industry in a similarly vast state, few cities have their finger on the pulse of new and exciting cuisine like the city of Grapevine. From down-home comforts like barbecue and Texas chili to bold new takes on French creations and Chicago-style delicatessens, Grapevine is a true no-holds-barred melting pot of choices. Here’s just a bite-size portion of a few of Grapevine’s locally owned and world-renowned dining spots.

TOLBERT’S RESTAURANT AND CHILI PARLOR

TOLBERTSRESTAURANT.COM

Frank X. Tolbert, restaurateur and founder of the legendary Terlingua Championship Chili Cook-Off, started this iconic Grapevine dining spot due to his love of Texas chili. Tolbert’s is known far and wide as home to the best piping hot “Bowl of Red:” a chili lover’s dream. This Grapevine staple arrived on Main Street in 2006 and has become a favorite of locals and visitors around the world. Not in the mood for a Bowl of Red? Try the Taco Salad or the Paris Texas Fried Catfish. And make sure to start your meal with an order of Donkey Tails, two all-beef hot dogs and cheese wrapped in a tortilla and fried. Delicious!

Started in 1952 in the deli-mecca town of Chicago by Tom Weinberger and carried on later by his son, Dan, the family was able to open their iconic Texas location in 2002. Since then, Weinberger's Deli has prided itself on serving delicious and high-quality sandwiches (more than 160 unique offerings and counting) and classic deli foods like macaroni salad and creamy coleslaw. With such a rich and creative history, Weinberger’s Deli is rivaled by few and second to none. Ask about sandwich-making classes and the Celebrity Sandwich Wall of Fame.

Explore a Vibrant History

A series of engaging destinations captures Grapevine’s fascinating heritage. BY

TYLER HICKS

In the 180 years of Grapevine’s existence, the city has transformed from a picturesque collection of vast fields to a vibrant hub of great food, amazing people and seemingly endless activities. Grapevine celebrates its history every day, thanks to a collection of museums and destinations that capture key moments in the Grapevine story.

The Settlement to City Museums are a time machine back to the 19th century. For instance, in the Donald Schoolhouse, you

can see the genesis of Grapevine’s modernday school district. This original frontier schoolhouse is where students learned the agriculture skills they would later use to help Grapevine grow into a thriving community of farmers and early entrepreneurs.

Similarly, the Keeling House Museum pulls back the curtain on Grapevine life in the late 1800s. Inside, you’ll find artifacts from the first days of the fire and police departments, alongside a collection of personal items owned by Mayor William

D. Tate. Tate’s multiple mayoral tenures date back to the early 1970s, giving you the opportunity to walk through multiple decades of Grapevine history. The Keeling House Museum also contains a classic, functional printing press—a nice complement to the Cotton Ginners Museum, which rounds out this collection of engaging exhibits. At the latter, you can find an interactive showcase of how the cotton gin worked, thereby transporting you back to the days when cotton was king on the Grape Vine Prairie. After you return from your trip to the hallowed frontier days, here are some more Grapevine museums you and your loved ones will enjoy.

GRAPEVINE HISTORICAL MUSEUM

From wedding dresses to musical instruments and detailed storyboards illustrating the city’s heritage, this museum is a veritable treasure trove of historical artifacts. And like all great museums, the Grapevine Historical Museum immerses you in the daily lives of the people it features. Plus, as a nice bonus, there’s an interactive exhibit featuring Mayor William D. Tate sharing his personal story of growing

up in Grapevine, as well as an account of the growth of the city from its early days to the modern era.

1888 COTTON BELT ROUTE DEPOT

An important historic landmark, this depot was a key shipping center in the cotton transportation industry that once dominated Grapevine and the surrounding cities.

PARR PARK ROCK TRAIL

Started as a community encouragement project during Covid, the Parr Park Rock Trail boasts over 24,000 small rocks painted with themes that include movies, musical artists and popular sayings.

PEACE CIRCLE

Located at the corner of Dallas Road and Main Street, the work of public art depicts the 1843 meeting of Republic of Texas President Sam Houston and 10 American Indian chiefs/ captains in a spirit of friendship, peace, hope and trust.

INTERNATIONAL PORCELAIN ARTISTS MUSEUM

Artists from around the world have contributed their work to this museum, which is located in a converted home in the Historic Main Street District. More than 2,000 porcelain pieces are available for your perusal, and the selection of artwork spans multiple centuries. The result is an engaging

experience that reveals the evolution of a beautiful, global art form. Visits are by appointment only, and you won’t want to miss these stunning, intricate creations.

LONE STAR HI-RAILERS MODEL TRAIN EXHIBIT

Nestled in a historic Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey baggage car, this exhibit is a favorite of train enthusiasts from throughout the southern U.S. Here, you’ll find an intricate layout of the City of Grapevine as it was during the days when active railroads crisscrossed the country as our main source of transportation. Detailed model trains travel this layout, giving each viewer a glimpse at the three-rail trains that are a symbol of classic Americana. What’s more, Grapevine is host to the annual Traina-Palooza: a meet-and-swap for model train enthusiasts from across the country.

WALLIS BUILDING

This gorgeous historic building is the perfect destination to round out the list. In the late 19th century, the famous Wallis Hotel was the place where traveling salesmen and agricultural entrepreneurs laid their heads while traveling through North Texas. These days, this replica captures the magic and history of that historic hotel, while also housing Messina Hof, a premier winery with more than 40 wines on tap. It’s the perfect place to host your next event or sample a delicious wine amongst luxurious trappings.

Get Outside

Kayaking, biking, boarding—even beaching—are year-round activities in Grapevine. BY

MOLLIE JAMISON

When you think of Grapevine, world-class resorts, shopping centers and haute cuisine may be what first come to mind. But long before these attractions were here, it was the endless list of outdoor activities that kept a constant flow of visitors coming to town. For decades, Grapevine has attracted adventure enthusiasts of all kinds who flock here to swim, kayak, jet- and waterski, wakeboard and windsurf on the water. The best part?

Alfresco fun isn’t exclusive to one season. Every year—all year—nature lovers come together to hike, bike, camp and picnic at dozens of beautiful outdoor spaces across the city.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE

At Lake Grapevine, find locals and out-oftowners enjoying 8,000 acres that make up this woods-ensconced waterfront. Sam’s Dock at Silverlake Marina and Twin Coves

Marina will get you and your crew outfitted with the finest water sports equipment available. From jet skis to pontoons and ski boats, the specialists at Sam’s Dock will be your turnkey outfit for all things aquatic. Perhaps its finest feature is the impressive collection of lakefront parks available for social gatherings, exercise, fishing and more. For the athletes, Oak Grove Park offers a multi-sport complex with baseball, softball and soccer fields as well as various types of

Feeling lucky? Head over to McPherson Slough Park and cast a reel off the pier and enjoy the best fishing cove in Grapevine. If you prefer something more secluded, try Lakeview Park, where a $5 per car fee grants you access to covered picnic spots complete with grills, plus a twostory pavilion and a playground. Don’t forget Katie’s Woods Park if sandstone cliffs and plenty of shade are your thing. Last but not least, stop by Acorn Woods Park for a little bit of everything including great spots for fishing, picnicking and shaded strolls through the trees. You can find additional parks, pavilions and playgrounds all across

Grapevine’s neighborhoods with amenities for the whole family.

ALFRESCO BITES

Soak up some sun and enjoy the fresh air when you dine at Big Daddy’s Cantina Located right on the lake at Scott’s Landing Marina, this floating patio is a local favorite. Under new ownership, the restaurant will feature Mexican cuisine. In fact, there’s no shortage of great spots around town where you can enjoy an outdoor meal.

STAY AWHILE

Come for the weekend and pitch a tent at Meadowmere Park , where 288 acres of campsites and sandy beaches await. While the largest floating obstacle course in Texas at WhoaZone steals the show, families also

love renting kayaks from Get Up and Go Kayaking—which offers sunset and glow tours as well—and stand-up paddleboards at DFW Surf

Meadowmere Park, also pet-friendly, costs just $5-$20 per car, depending on the time of year. If glamping is more your style, opt for an overnight at The Vineyard Campground & Cabins on Lake Grapevine. Check out the fully-furnished cabins or post up at one of many pull-through RV sites. Private beaches make any staycation here feel all-inclusive. Plus, an on-site laundry facility and store, stocked with firewood and other must-have camping supplies, just make life easier. Book online or by phone and enjoy military, resident and additional special discounts.

WALK IT OFF

When you need a break from the office, an excuse to get out of the house, or you just want to walk off some of your picnic, take a breather and explore 72 miles of Grapevine Trails . This extensive network of mixedsurface running and biking trails as well as paddling routes for kayaks will get your heart pumping while you clear your lungs— and head. Go online to see different features and points of interest along each trail as well as their levels of difficulty. Stop and stroll

through the flowers at Grapevine Botanical Gardens at Heritage Park and enjoy free admission to the grounds. Also, Parr Park offers miles of walking and jogging trails as well as playground structures that are great for hesitant toddlers at one structure and wild middle schoolers on another. Colorful vegetation and fragrant flora change with the seasons here, so make sure to visit more than once a year and snap photos with your family. Plan ahead and check the calendar to attend special events.

Christmas Christmas Christmas

Capital of Texas

Santa visits throughout the holiday season while special activities entertain couples and families alike.

BY TYLER HICKS

Welcome to Grapevine, the Christmas Capital of Texas®! Each year, Grapevine comes alive with the spirit of Christmas in a way that would multiply the heart size of even the grinchiest Grinch. Featuring millions of lights and more than 1,400 events in 40 days, Grapevine has undoubtedly earned its official designation as the Christmas Capital of Texas. Only one question remains: Where will you begin your Christmas adventures?

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

You’ll want to mark your calendars for the Carol of Lights , when downtown Grapevine officially comes alive with the magic of Christmas. Traditionally held the Monday before Thanksgiving, Grapevine Mayor William D. Tate flips the switch, and the Christmas Capital of Texas comes to life with millions of lights along Historic Main Street. During the Carol of Lights, thousands of guests enjoy live performances, delicious food from vendors and Main Street restaurants and photos with live reindeer.

Experience Grapevine’s annual Parade of Lights, the largest lighted Christmas parade in all of North Texas. On the first Thursday of each December, civic groups, students and businesses from across the city compete to see who can bring the best, most festive float to the parade in downtown Grapevine.

If you’d like something a bit more interactive, look no further than the North Pole Express. Each year, Grapevine visitors can board the Grapevine Vintage Railroad’s authentic 1920s-era coaches for a unique train excursion featuring Christmas sing-

alongs, festive characters and a photo op with Santa. North Pole Express tickets typically go on sale in July, so plan your visit early. And make sure to stop by the North Pole Neighborhood Store to shop for special Christmas surprises and treats.

Both the Gaylord Texan Resort and Great Wolf Lodge offer luxurious digs and their own take on the Christmas spirit. Lone Star Christmas at the Gaylord will include the resort’s annual ICE! exhibit, where a team of 40 artisans from Harbin, China, have carved more than two million pounds of ice into beautifully impressive ice sculptures all designed for a special Christmas theme. Previous years’ themes included “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” “Frosty The Snowman” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” The Gaylord also offers Christmas-themed cuisine at its upscale eateries with literally acres of decorations and hundreds of

activities, while the Great Wolf Lodge boasts its unforgettable Snowland attraction: a bountiful collection of Christmas trees, family-friendly activities and snow showers in the lodge’s on-site water park. Despite his busy winter schedule, Saint Nick makes plenty of time to visit Grapevine before the big day. Case in point: Sea Life Grapevine Aquarium boasts an underwater winter wonderland. The attraction’s aquatic dwellings light up with festive decorations, and a scuba-diving Santa lets you know if you’re on the “Naughty” or “Nice” list. Beginning the day after Thanksgiving, be

sure to visit Elf Adventure at Grapevine’s Settlement to City Museums. Here, the kids will be able to create handmade projects like a snowman tassel ornament out of cotton or a wooden Christmas ornament. Or, level-up your ornament-making skills by creating your own hand-blown glass ornament at Vetro Glassblowing Studio & Gallery Then cap off the night by ice skating on the Texas-sized rink on Peace Plaza just outside Harvest Hall. Perhaps you’d prefer to enjoy a classic Christmas movie like Home Alone, Elf or It’s a Wonderful Life. Throughout December, all of those and more

WHERE TO SPOT SANTA

In addition to Scuba Santa, you can find ol’ St. Nick posing for photos in the North Pole Neighborhood of Historic Main Street: a scenic Christmas setting near the train depot that you simply can’t miss (literally; it’s quite big.) The Big Man also makes appearances on the North Pole Express, as well as the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Resort, Grapevine Mills, Great Wolf Lodge, Bass Pro Shops and at the North Pole General Store on Main Street.

are screening at the Palace Theatre: a cozy, art deco movie theater that screens classic films all year long, as well as hosts plenty of Christmas-themed live entertainment, such as The Texas Tenors and Kraig Parker.

And if you’re in vacation (or staycation) mode, Grapevine’s gorgeous options make it a wonderful life indeed. Look no further than the Hometown Christmas Exhibit, housed at the Tower Gallery inside the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau Headquarters. This is Americana at its finest—it’s as though you are in a Norman Rockwell painting. Stroll past various vignettes of families preparing their homes for Christmas, complete with sights and sounds of the holiday season.

You and your family can also visit a slice of idyllic history at historic Nash Farm, a farmturned-museum that offers a Victorian-style gift workshop starting in early November. You can get a head start on some homemade

Sliding into the holidays at Gaylord Texan's ICE! exhibit

gifts inspired by craft magazines from the 1800s, then return in early December for Prairie Christmas: a celebration where kids can deck the halls of a historic farmhouse while enjoying tasty cookies.

CLASSIC CHRISTMAS DATES

Calling all lovebirds: Whether you’re celebrating years of marriage or just beginning to know your partner, the wealth of spirited event options available to you

makes Grapevine a must-visit destination during November and December (and even January—more on that in a little bit). For starters, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Grapevine’s Historic Main Street. This is the beating heart of the Christmas Capital of Texas, and it’s full of enough locally owned shops, winery tasting rooms and exquisite eateries to satisfy practically any palate. For a special treat, visit Dr. Sue’s Chocolate and experience the velvety hot

chocolate flavors and handmade chocolate creations. After you’ve wined and dined with your date, take a stroll along the city’s Historic Main Street, where the multitude of twinkling lights and festive decor create an unrivaled winter wonderland. You may be tempted to shop in one of the many boutiques lining the street or board one of the popular adults-only Christmas Wine Trains . They are so popular, in fact, that seats typically fill up quickly. These 1920s locomotives are decked out with lights, tinsel and all the delightful decor you could dream of, creating the perfect setting for you and your date to munch on hors d’oeuvres and sip fine Texas wine.

Sometimes it may be fun to have some spirits to get you into the holiday spirit. The Holly Jolly Bar at Harvest Hall’s Third Rail is best summed up by Director of Operations Mitch Johnson as, “kitschy, over-the-top craziness.” That’s a description you need to see to believe.

The lights along Grapevine’s Historic Main Street District stay on through early January, and several events also remain active and open. After all, this is where the true spirit of Christmas resides full-time.

A festive gathering not to be missed, GrapeFest® is the toast of the town. BY

ADAM PITLUK

Every year, as the calendar turns to September, Grapevine comes alive with the sweet scent of Autumn air and the joyful laughter of visitors from all around. This is GrapeFest, an annual celebration of all things fruit of the vine, and it's an internationally renowned tradition that captures the heart and soul of this vibrant community. It’s no wonder that Grapevine was named a World Festival & Event City by the International Festival & Events Association.

GrapeFest celebrates its 38th year on September 12, 13, 14 and 15. This bellwether event showcases the city's rich history as a wine tasting hub while providing visitors with a delightful blend of entertainment, culture and, of course, plenty of festival food.

As a prelude to the festivities, the ItalianCarFest is a literal tailgate to GrapeFest. Held the preceding week at Grapevine’s Nash Farm, gearheads from around the country bring their shined-up Lamborghinis, Maseratis and Ferraris to town. As the Southwest’s largest Italian car show, more than 100 classic beauties will be on display.

pounds of grapes for two minutes to see who can extract the most juice. The crowd cheers as participants dance, jump and crunch with all their might, creating a spectacle of purple feet and laughter. It's a hilarious and messy affair, and the winners are crowned with the coveted Purple Foot award on Sunday night, which comes with a side of bragging rights.

At the Liberty Park Plaza International Wine Experience, international wineries showcase their finest libations. This is the perfect opportunity to sample some of the best wines the international winemaking community has to offer.

The Urban Wine Trail celebrates the City’s storied culture and rich history.

BY CRAI S. BOWER

You may not think wine when you think of Texas, but believe it or not, Texas is the fifth-highest wineproducing state in the U.S. Grapevine, and its central location in the DFW Metroplex, has long served as the epicenter of Texas wine outside of the Texas Hill Country, where most of the state’s wine is produced. Grapevine features eight winery tasting rooms along its Urban Wine Trail. Most are located on Historic Main Street or close by, where visitors can try robust reds and crisp whites in addition to charcuterie, tapas and other house-prepared menu items. Here’s a quick guide to tasting wine the Texas way in Grapevine.

A TASTER’S DELIGHT

Take a stroll to sample a variety of vintages throughout Grapevine. Located in historic buildings, turn of the century homes and a French-style chalet, you’ll find a variety of tasting rooms and experiences to suit any palate.

Bingham Family Vineyards opened its first winery tasting room in Grapevine, and it has been a popular spot ever since. Cliff and Betty Bingham founded their winery in 2002 in the High Plains region of Texas, and 100% of their wines are Texas-grown and produced. Some of the local favorites you’ll find at Bingham include “Cloudburst,”

a white wine that features crisp acidity and flavors of green apple and hay, and “Dugout,” a red wine featuring 100% Texas-grown Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Cabernet Franc.

Bull Lion Winery has been a working ranch for more than 25 years, primarily as a Registered Red Angus and Performance

Paint Horse operation. In 2010, they began a new adventure in the vineyard and wine business, even though their families in Italy have been growing wine grapes for more than 100 years. This family tradition continues today near Chalk Mountain, Texas, producing Old World wines from 100% Texas grapes. Featured wines include Texianti, Malbec, Trebbiano and Tempranillo.

Housed in the historic Dorris Brock family home built in 1874, Cross Timbers Winery is located on the northern end of Main Street. Set amongst a beautiful farm-like setting with an elegant patio, beautiful shade trees and a barn that is perfect for special events, Cross Timbers Winery offers a delicious array of wines for guests to try. Try the Cross Timbers Sangiovese, a High Plains-grown wine with

hints of strawberry, orange peel and plum fruit flavors with violet and cinnamon on the spice. Or try the Cross Timbers Grapevine White, featuring a blend of Roussanne, Viognier, Chenin Blanc and Muscat. This wine pairs nicely with spicy foods, such as Tex-Mex or barbecue.

A staple in town since 1993, Delaney Vineyards is a go-to for weddings and corporate events, but they also know how to treat a visitor with a glass of craft wine and a serving of Texas hospitality. The French chateau-inspired building creates an old world feeling with a Texas twist. Tastings, special events and more allow wine aficionados and those just discovering Texas wines to enjoy this amazing venue. A retail shop is also onsite. Some of the most popular selections include Cynthiana, Muscat Canelli and Three Daughters.

Grape Vine Springs Winery has been a fixture on Historic Main Street for more than 20 years. The winery has more than 30 wines in production, many of which are medal winners from national and international competitions. Wine tastings as well as wine

A Night on the Town

Grapevine’s nightlife makes every evening feel like you're the star of the show. BY KELSIE CROUGH

With a thriving, historic Texas downtown as the backdrop, guests of all ages can set the scene for the perfect night out in Grapevine. From live entertainment to classic movies to stops along the Urban Wine Trail, see the city come to life at night. In Grapevine, you can wine, dine, dance and rock out as the sun goes down.

LIGHTS!

Bask in the glow of your favorite classic video games, outwit your friends and foes in a challenging escape room or perform your own stunts at the axe bar. Corky’s Gaming Bistro is not for the faint of heart. Here, you can become your own action hero to the soundtrack of clinking glasses, the thwack of an axe, the munch of Texas-style cuisine, the mystery of the escape room and the laughter of your family and friends.

Do you know obscure movie facts and quotes? Maybe you’d better try your hand at the Tuesday Trivia Night at Crush It! Sports Lounge Or watch your favorite sports on the large screens as you snack on delicious food and beverage options.

If throwing axes or trivia aren’t your genre, and you prefer to dance and drink in the limelight of one giant projector and 23 television screens, take the stage over

at Chill Bar & Grill. With food and drink specials every day, weekly entertainment (including a DJ Thursday through Saturday), and outdoor seating in a comfortable setting, you are sure to feel like a star here.

For the romance movie buffs (and the RomCom set), make sure to dim the lights and avoid the third-act conflict by taking your partner’s taste buds on a journey along Grapevine’s Urban Wine Trail . Many of the winery tasting rooms offer live music or special evening events all year long. And don’t forget to share some delicious snacks which perfectly complement your wine selections.

Snap a great picture at these live music experiences throughout Grapevine. With offerings most nights of the week, you’re sure to find your favorite.

Want to see a legend in the making? Check out the sounds at Willhoite’s Restaurant, which has played host to superstars such as Pat Green, the Dixie Chicks, Jack Ingram and LeFreak. All this excitement takes place in one of Grapevine’s oldest buildings, home to the first auto garage in town. And if you want to be the star, stop by on Tuesday nights for karaoke.

CAMERA!

Or reach Instagram fame with a snap of the nightly live entertainment at Tolbert’s Restaurant and Chili Parlor. Located across Main Street from Willhoite’s, Tolbert’s offers a variety of eclectic music styles from acoustic to live bands. Enjoy an evening here as locals and visitors alike join in for a great evening of fun at Tolbert’s.

ACTION!

Every great movie has that one, pivotal scene that elevates it from good to great. In Grapevine, local experiences can create scene-stealing memories that last a lifetime. What makes a great night, and great memories, are all the little details. At Hop & Sting Brewing Co., it’s those little details that matter the most. Specializing in craft and small-batch beers, their focus is on quality. With a year-round taproom and an event almost every night of the week—including food trucks, trivia and live music—Hop & Sting definitely has the “it” factor.

Or, if you can’t decide on your adventure, head over to Harvest Hall. Get a taste from every corner of the world right in Grapevine. Harvest Hall hosts multiple diverse restaurants, is central to downtown and DFW International Airport and emphasizes community with its European-style dining hall, multiple event venues and outdoor seating options. Inspired by the grand train stations of the United States, Harvest Hall is not only versatile and beautiful; it also serves as a doorway into Historic Grapevine with its proximity to the TEXRail and Historic Main Street. Be sure to catch live music at Grapevine Main Live! outside Harvest Hall on Peace Plaza.

While you’re at Harvest Hall, make sure to catch the action at Third Rail. The edgy, industrial-inspired kitchen and bar hosts a curated menu of food and drink as well as nightly entertainment that ranges from live local and regional music to comedy shows to theater productions. The intimate venue

offers a horseshoe bar and patio seating, giving the impression of a hideaway from the paparazzi.

Throughout the year, Grapevine’s Palace Arts Center hosts a variety of live concerts, classic movies and more. Don’t miss live tribute shows like The Texas Tenors or movies like Miracle on 34th Street . In the summer, you might just be able to snag tickets to see the original Jaws or other fun summer movie favorites.

Speaking of dinner with a show, become a guest star every weekend with the Texas Star Dinner Theater. The immersive murder mystery dinner is designed to make you think and laugh all night long. The reservationpreferred (especially during peak seasons as tickets do sell out quickly), Western-themed show includes a three-course dinner and features a cash bar. Solve the mystery and become the hero, or sit back and enjoy the show. Either way, you’ll want to become a part of the action.
