Where to Order Takeout & Delivery in Dallas-Fort Worth Right Now
Dining out in Dallas-Fort Worth has changed dramatically in the last several days -- mainly because you can't actually dine out anymore, now that restaurants have closed their dining rooms. Fortunately, those that haven't already shuttered temporarily are offering takeout and/or delivery services, which should help many of these businesses and their employees stay afloat during this crisis.
There are several ways to support restaurants right now, but one of the best is by ordering food to keep them operating through this challenging time. From fine-dining to fast casual, many establishments have truncated menus that offer prepare-at-home options alongside ready-to-eat meals, plus beer, wine, DIY cocktail kits, and even grocery staples that can be ordered directly from the restaurant’s in-house pantry. We've gathered up some standouts below; of course, not every restaurant that’s still open can be found on this list, so if you don’t see your favorite, check in with them to find out what they’re offering. Then set your table, order in, and tip as generously as you’re able.
Bishop Arts & Plano
When you’ve got a hankering for authentic Texas BBQ, nothing satisfies quite like brisket. Grab a whole smoked brisket and you’ll have enough fixin’s to create leftover masterpieces for days, from sandwiches and tacos to chili and Frito pie. In addition to the full regular menu of meats, wine and packaged beer (including Deep Ellum Dallas Blonde) can also be purchased to-go.
Uptown
It can be Taco Tuesday any day of the week with family-size taco kits from Miriam Cocina Latina, which is now offering delivery for the first time. If you want a nice quarantine date night, the incredible fried Pescado a la Veracruzana features a whole red snapper bathed in spicy sauce, with rice and mixed veggies on the side, plenty for two people to share. Booze is available, too.
Uptown
Sheltering in place doesn’t mean the end of fine dining thanks to Salum, which is now offering delivery by its staff to both ensure that the food is handled safely and that they continue making gratuity income. You'll have to call the restaurant directly to take advantage of this option, and while you’re at it, ask for the Australian rack of lamb with a dijon truffle crust and mushroom bread pudding, which they can pair with a bottle of wine, beer, or a fun-to-make cocktail kit.
Uptown
One of the most popular spots in Uptown for happy hour is helping you recreate the experience at home with DIY cocktail kits including a Maker’s Mark Old Fashioned, a Tito’s Handmade Vodka herbal Collins, and a Camerena Tequila jalapeño Paloma, as well as Texas beer four-packs, domestic six-packs, and bottles of wine. Each goes great with a bag of burgers and fries.
McKinney
It’s all about Texas cuisine at this award-winning McKinney eatery that's now debuting delivery, whether you’re craving a BBQ platter for two with side dishes and Texas toast, or comfort food in the form of shrimp and grits, chicken and dumplings, or salisbury steak.

Or, go simple with a bacon-egg-and-cheese -- just don’t forget the alcohol.
