With a small, passionate team, The Range's family-style dining experience takes place in the barn restaurant and covered patio. Guests can enjoy drinks from the 1959 Airstream Globetrotter trailer bar. Dining in the open-air restaurant has a relaxed and casual family-style atmosphere, with fans in summer and heaters in winter, and a beautiful view across the water.

I made reservations for my wife and I to start our wedding anniversary here for some appetizers and drinks before our dinner resi. We were seated in what we thought was the best seat in the house, facing the whole restaurant and could see the bar, the live music, the fire place, and the cigar lounge area. All drinks we tried were amazing, and the Colombian old fashion may have been one of the best twists on a classic I have ever had! We tried the steak bites and calamari and both were solid picks. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be coming back for an evening, especially to try out the cigar lounge!

About the restaurant

At Meehan's Chophouse delicious food and gracious hospitality combine to create one of DFW's best dining experiences. So much more than a steakhouse, at Meehan's, guests can indulge in prime steak and fresh seafood cooked to perfection, treat themselves to an innovative, classically-focused cocktail, or discover new and exciting wines from the thoughtfully curated wine list. A perfect end of the night can be found next door at Henry's Cigar Lounge where the right cigar can be paired with a night cap making for a spectacular end to the afternoon or evening.

Having trouble finding the reservation time you are looking for? Give us a call and let our hosts explore additional seating options with you. We have a 15 minute grace period on all reservations

Parties of 8 or more, please call 817-225-2341 or email host-station@meehanschophouse.com to reserve a table

Absolutely amazing! Kitchen table Chefs Tasting Menu was fantastic. You are in the kitchen as they prepare your meal, but that have created a much more “homey” style kitchen rather than the traditional commercial kitchen. The food and explanation of the menu as you eat is fantastic! The Mezcal selection is amazing as well. If you don’t rent out the whole table (8 guests I think) you will be seated with others which could be good or bad depending on your luck. I would rent out this table for a group in a heartbeat and enjoy a night of cocktails and amazing food. I will 1000% be going back. Maybe try the main dining room and traditional experience, but that will be hard since I know what the kitchen holds for its guests. I can tell why he won Beard Awards.

Beautiful restaurant with very welcoming staff. We had the meatballs and caesar salad to start. The seabass was delicious. Macaroni and broccoli are excellent sides. Highly recommend.
