Arlington Restaurant Menus: Before or After the Game
A diner breakfast, Lebanese lunch, barbecue run and reserved dinner need different amounts of planning around Arlington events. Compare these four restaurant menus, then check the branch, service day and ordering method. A ballpark concession and a restaurant address are separate stops, even when they share a name.

The Range of Arlington, From Diner to Fine Dining
Four different meal formats, with branch-specific details to help you plan around an Arlington event.
Hurtado Barbecue
Hurtado’s original Arlington restaurant opened in 2020 and combines Central Texas smoking with Tex-Mex flavors. The current official location page lists 11 a.m.–9 p.m. daily and offers order-ahead and delivery links, so it is not described here as lunch-only. For a particular cut, check availability before ordering. Do not confuse this Front Street location with ballpark service.
Restaurant506
Restaurant506 serves seasonal Inspired American cooking inside The Sanford House. Brunch is Tuesday–Friday 11 a.m.–2 p.m. and Saturday–Sunday 10 a.m.–2 p.m.; dinner is Wednesday–Saturday 5–9 p.m. It is closed Monday. The restaurant recommends reservations, especially for dinner and Sunday brunch—use the day’s actual service rather than assuming dinner runs nightly.
Prince Lebanese Grill
Family-owned since 1989, Prince serves shawarma, kabobs, hummus and falafel from its Randol Mill Road restaurant. It moved into a converted Sonic in 2007. Choose a plate when you want rice and sides, or compare wraps and appetizers for a different-sized meal. Order through the restaurant’s own linked service and confirm pickup at this address.
Jay Jay Café
Jay Jay’s official site advertises breakfast all day and fresh pies made daily. The Arlington branch is at 1001 S. Bowen Road; its other listed café is in Mansfield, so confirm the pickup location before paying. Compare breakfast plates with sandwiches, burgers and homestyle meals, and ask what pies are available rather than relying on a fixed dessert selection.
Whatever Brought You to Town
A game, a coaster, or just a hungry drive through — tap where you are in the day and Arlington sorts itself out.
Jay Jay Café
Jay Jay serves breakfast all day. Confirm the Arlington branch at 1001 S. Bowen Road rather than collecting an order in Mansfield.
See the Menu →Eating Around the Entertainment Capital
Arlington’s food scene makes more sense once you know what the city is actually built around.
A destination city
AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas and UT Arlington draw different event crowds. Check your ticket time and parking plan before choosing a restaurant stop.
No single cuisine
The four menus cover Lebanese dishes, seasonal American dining, Tex-Mex barbecue and diner breakfasts. Decide on the meal format rather than treating every choice as an interchangeable pregame stop.
The stadium thread
Restaurant addresses and stadium concessions have different access and service arrangements. Use the standalone addresses listed above for these menu links and confirm where an order will be collected.
History hiding in plain sight
Hurtado’s official Arlington page describes its Front Street home as a former railroad station. Its current daily service and order-ahead links make it a different plan from a first-come barbecue outing with limited opening days.
