    As the State Fair of Texas readies for its 2024 debut, fairgoers are anticipating the dozens of new food items that have been added this year's lineup. But on those days you're not visiting the fair, you can still indulge, since some Dallas restaurants are joining in with their own renditions of State Fair-style food.

    Here are restaurants where you can to find State Fair of Texas themed food and beverages with specials running from September 27-October 20. (And we'll be adding more as they come in.)

    CBD Provisions restaurant at the Joule Dallas hotel in downtown Dallas has introduced two limited-time Fair-inspired dishes: loaded fries with smoked brisket and bacon; and deep-fried Oreos in cinnamon batter with cream cheese icing.

    Chef Point Bar & Restaurant is bringing back their State Fair Bloody Mary, stacked with a turkey leg, corn on the cob, deep-fried PB&J, waffles, and more.

    Community Beer Co. released its annual Funnel Cake Ale, a special State Fair-style brew it serves every year during State Fair time. It combines all of the sweet and toasty flavors of a funnel cake in a convenient beer. It was released on August 22 and will be available at both Community Beer on tap and in six-pack cans and at the State Fair of Texas.

    Dragonfly at Hotel ZaZa has $15 special bites, including The State Fair Poutine volcano salt fries topped with chopped brisket, BBQ sauce, scallions, cheddar cheese, and chopped onion; and blackberry cobbler, with white chocolate cream, cinnamon streusel, and graham cracker.

    Fletcher’s Original Corny Dogs will not only be at the State Fair of Texas, but it also has a food truck every Friday through Sunday from 11:30 am-7:30 pm at Klyde Warren Park, where it serves all six corny dogs including The Original, Jalapeño and Cheese, the turkey Bird Dog, and a veggie corny dog.

    Flying Fish is offering a Larry’s Deep Fried Banana Pudding with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, powder sugar and topped with a vanilla cookie for $8; and alligator queso starting at $9 for a cup.

    Lucky's Cafe has an $11 corn dog duo and fries paired with a $6 Cotton Candy Pilsner from Texas Ale Project.

    Meddlesome Moth will offer several specials starting at $12 available after 4 pm, including Tex’s Blue Ribbon Feast, which is fried chicken, whipped sweet potatoes and marshmallow, cheddar mac and cheese, braised greens, and cornbread.

    Pete's Dueling Piano Bar has a limited-time $14 cotton candy cosmopolitan featuring a lemon-flavored vodka-base, lemon juice, a splash of soda, and cotton candy-infused simple syrup.

    Snuffer's is serving $8 chili cheese mini corn dogs topped with house-made chili, onions, cheddar, and jalapeños.

    The Statler is all in on the fair: Overeasy will offer guests fried Monte Cristo bites for $16; Scout has funnel cake fries for $8; and Waterproof has a cotton candy cosmopolitan for $12.

    UnaVida has a churro banana split, featuring fresh strawberries, Mexican vanilla ice cream, espresso chocolate sauce, brûléed bananas, caramel-filled churros, and fried candied peanuts for $12.

    Celeb-owned sports bar Walk-On's is bringing more gumbo to Dallas

    Walk-On's brings all the fried delights.

    A Cajun sports bar-restaurant concept with celebrity ties is opening a new location northeast of Dallas: Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar, the Baton Rouge-based chain founded by Brandon Landry and co-owned by New Orleans Saints superstar Drew Brees, will open in Wylie in a newly constructed space at 906 W. FM 544.

    According to a spokesperson, it'll open in summer 2026.

    Walk-On's features Louisiana cuisine and a full bar in a game-day atmosphere. Food is made from scratch, with a diverse menu featuring twists on game-day staples and upscale takes on Louisiana mainstays such as crawfish etouffee or duck & Andouille gumbo.

    According to the company history, Walk-Ons was concepted on the back of a napkin by LSU walk-on basketball players Brandon Landry and Jack Warner, who opened the first location in Baton Rouge in 2003. Franchise partners include not only co-owner Drew Brees but also celebrity athlete franchisees Dak Prescott, Derrick Brooks, and football coach Dabo Swinney.

    The menu has seafood and classic Louisiana dishes: fried seafood platters, pastas, burgers, sandwiches, po'boys, fried oysters, gumbo, fried alligator, and boudin balls. Prices range from $10 to $20.

    Starters include waffle cheese fries, fried pickles, boneless wings, cheeseburger sliders, spinach-artichoke dip, and venison nachos. They have a bread pudding made with Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

    This is not Walk-On's first foray into Dallas-Fort Worth. There's a location at 5774 Grandscape Blvd. in the Colony, which opened in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, and is thriving. With many Louisiana transplants and fans living among us, Dallas has a big appetite for this kind of food. Not to mention its family-friendly atmosphere and plentiful selection of beers on tap, margaritas, and other crafty-ish cocktails.

    The chain opened two other DFW locations, including the first that opened in the Dallas area in Las Colinas in 2018, followed by Arlington in 2019. Both of those locations have since closed, although Arlington is looking to reopen at a different address, the spokesperson says.

    In 2024, the company introduced a new smaller footprint, around 3,600 square feet — about a third the size of an old-school Walk-On's. The Wylie restaurant will come in at about 5,400 square feet.

    There are 12 Walk-On's across Texas, including Tyler and San Antonio, and nearly 80 locations total.
