Fort Worth Stockyard Food Tour: Cowboy Culture and Cuisine

Welcome to Fort Worth! This is where the West begins.

On this two-hour food tour, you’ll visit some of the best Tex-Mex and Southern cuisine the historic Fort Worth Stockyards have to offer.

As you walk these brick-lined streets with your professionally trained stockyards guide, you’ll travel back in time to the days of cattle drives and the livestock trade. 

Discover the incredible history of Fort Worth and how the stockyards became known as the “Wall Street of the West.” Learn how Hell’s Half Acre was the center of violence and lawlessness in the Wild West, attracting the likes of Bat Masterson, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Doc Holliday, and Wyatt Earp. 

You’ll even get to go inside the World’s First Indoor Rodeo — an exclusive visit no other food tour provides.

Our unique pay-as-you-go model for this food tour lets you enjoy more food for less money, making it a better value than comparable food tours. Simply hand the guide $40 cash on your arrival, and the guide takes care of the rest. They’ll pay for the group at each stop, minimizing wait. Paying cash also makes it easy for each restaurant to offer more food so you’re guaranteed Texas-sized servings.

At the end of the tour, you can relax with a glass of wine or a delicious assortment of ice cream flavors and watch the Old West come alive as a team of drovers lead 20 head of longhorn steers right down the middle of the street. This authentic and historically accurate cattle drive recalls the stockyards’ rich history. It’s a must while you’re in town!
