    It's been a couple years since I've been here. I moved to Fort Worth so don't make it to Arlington as much as I would like. I met some friends there for lunch and was surprised to see a great lunch special for 7.50$ !! Just 8 something after tax . You can choose between an angus burger, chicken sandwich, turkey burger and something else that comes with fries. I chose the Angus burger and was very satisfied with it! The spicy ghost pepper ketchup is very tasty. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is always "chill" !!

    Bacon cheeseburger

    No frills burger joint. They do have an extensive menu but will also accommodate a simple bacon cheese burger order. My friend opted for the chicken friend bacon cheeseburger and that looked like a phenomenal option. The burger patty is very thick. My bacon quality was nice and a perfect crispness. This place has a very cool old-school vibe.

    Oh my goodness. I came here for lunch with classmates from an executive training course. The locals were going on and on about how good it was - of course, I was skeptical. This is a converted service station. Shame on me! Terrific burger, not over cooked, and perfectly salted and crisp fries. I'm sold and look forward to taking my husband here sometime when we're together in Arlington.

    Loaded fries
    Sandra B.

    Great spot in Arlington. They have several options of burgers and can customize a burger. I love loaded fries, so I order this. It was massive, definitely could feed 2-4 people. I barely made a dent. Fries came loaded with cheese, ground beef, bacon, jalapeños. In the seating area there is a full bar and a stage for performers I'd visit again and try 1 of the burgers

When we finished the day, people were deciding where to go while we waited for our dinner reservation at another establishment. I knew what I was doing. I went over and had two colleagues follow me. We walked in and were amazed. It was cool and dark and the decorations were amazing. A lot of beautiful antiques everywhere. The menu was super innovative. We met the man with the drinks and his wonderful dog. He was a friendly individual with a passion for Tiki drinks. I believe his name was Chris and the dog was Grizzly. I could be wrong. My apologies if I am I started with a ZOMBIE. This is my litmus test for how good the mixologist is; how good the ingredients are and how authentic the Tiki glass is. Well, it was a home run. One of the best zombies I have had in terms of balance and strength. The glass it was served in was perfect ( see photo). I followed it with one of their creations called Monkey Nuts which was AWESOME. Give this place a try if you are a Tiki fanatic like me or are just starting. You WON'T be disappointed.

I found two charges on my bank statement, from the times they had held my card, even though I had paid in cash. I had not signed the receipt. Last time I was in there, the "night manager", asked me for my card. I told her I couldn't do that, since twice, I had been charged even though I had paid cash. Her response was "I still have to have the card because "I don't know you". She did not bother to check with any of the other bartenders, to ask about serving me previously. She also did not bother to even look the least bit concerned about the charges. She took the beer with both hands, raised her voice somewhat and said "then you can't drink here", making sure to inject some drama. The whole encounter demonstrated a COMPLETE lack of people skills, and an immediate willingness to be confrontational with regard to anything other than, "SHE" did not know me, without any attempt to do anything other than bully, control, and disregard the problem with the card being charged. You have to go out of your way to disrespect somebody to treat them that way, She was right about not drinking there. Putting someone that lacking in people skills coupled with a personality quick to escalate to confrontation in a management position, tells me all I need to know.

    We attended a company event at Texas Live! on February 18, 2026, and overall we had a great time…read more The venue itself is impressive, and the food and drinks were very good. Our company provided each guest with three drink tickets, and many attendees -- including ourselves -- happily purchased additional drinks beyond that. Unfortunately, our experience with most of the bartenders was disappointing. We visited two different bar stations, and several bartenders came across as rude or uninterested, almost as if serving guests was an inconvenience. This stood out especially since the event was a large private rental, and guests were continuing to spend money throughout the evening. That said, one bartender truly made a positive impression -- Analilia. She was friendly, welcoming, and had an amazing attitude that completely changed the experience at her bar. She provided the level of service you would expect at a venue of this caliber. Despite the inconsistent service, we still enjoyed the event overall thanks to the atmosphere, food, and entertainment. I hope management recognizes team members like Analilia and works to ensure a more consistently positive guest experience across all bar stations in the future.

    Boooo, Texas Live! What an incredibly disappointing…read moreexperience you have given many locals AND visitors! We drove out, paid for parking, and walked up expecting to grab dinner and watch the Mexico World Cup match, only to be told at the door that they had "just started charging admission for the Mexico games." Mind you, we came to Texas Live to see Mexico vs S Korea, USA vs AUS, USA vs HERZ, and were not charged. Seriously? If you're going to change your policy and charge people just to enter your venue to eat and watch a game, the least you can do is make that crystal clear before people spend money on parking. It was not on their website so this is UNACCEPTABLE! AND why just the Mexico games? I'd say that was predatory at the least. If it was solely about safety, let who arrives be served, but you took advantage and cost us $ AND inconvenience. DO BETTER!
