Frisco Rail Yard

The Got Weekend take

Why go

Frisco Rail Yard brings rotating food trucks, a full-service bar, and outdoor games together at 9040 1st Street. The family- and dog-friendly park gives a group several ways to settle into an outing: pick something to eat, order a specialty cocktail, or catch a scheduled band. Check the site's events calendar before heading over for the food-truck and live-music lineup. The posted menu offers plenty of concrete starting points. The Caboose serves Frito pie and nachos topped with chili, cheese, and jalapeños, plus kids' corn dog and hot dog meals with chips and drinks. At Dough Box, individual pizzas share the menu with cookie dough in flavors including Chocolate Chip, Birthday Cake, Nutella, and Reese’s Peanut Butter. Order the dough on its own or over ice cream, or take home a kit with four cookie dough portions and four toppings. At the bar, the railroad theme carries into drinks such as The Conductor, made with banana rum and lemonade, and The Hobo, a bourbon cocktail with Ancho Reyes and Angostura bitters. Draft choices include Shiner Bock, Tupps IPA, and Deep Ellum Dallas Blonde. Birthday parties, family outings, corporate functions, and team gatherings are all part of the park's group-celebration offering.
