Moxies

The Got Weekend take

Why go

Moxies gives a Town Square shopping trip an easy next stop: a modern, lively restaurant on Main Street with a spacious patio and plenty of TVs for following the game. The kitchen’s globally inspired lineup includes cashew chicken lettuce wraps, a citrus habanero mahi sandwich and linguine bolognese. For a burger order, expect a chuck, brisket and short rib blend on buttered brioche with house-made burger sauce; handhelds come with fresh-cut fries unless noted otherwise. There’s substance beyond the casual staples, too. USDA Prime steaks arrive with seasonal vegetables and a choice of mashed potatoes or Parmesan truffle smashed potatoes. The drinks menu spans handcrafted cocktails, wine and zero-proof cocktails, with half-priced wine bottles on Wednesdays. Weekday happy hour runs from 3–6 p.m., while Saturday and Sunday brunch stretches from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. The setup works for more than a small-table meal. Southlake’s location has a private room and accommodates group celebrations, including birthdays and bachelorettes, as well as corporate gatherings. Families have a kids’ menu that includes a drink and dessert for children 12 and under, making this a practical gathering place for different ages and appetites.

• Try cashew chicken lettuce wraps or the citrus habanero mahi sandwich.
• Settle onto the spacious patio or follow a sporting event on the TVs.
• Plan a Wednesday visit for half-priced bottles of wine.
• Meet for weekend brunch, served Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.–3 p.m.

A lively choice for friends meeting over happy hour, families taking a shopping break, weekend brunch groups and birthday celebrations.
