If you’re visiting Texas, make sure you don’t miss out on Frisco. This city is a short 25-minute drive from Dallas, and while it’s relatively small, there’s plenty of exciting attractions in store for you.
Frisco is part of the famous Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Moreover, there are miles and miles of fantastic trails in Frisco if you are a fan of hiking.
There are also many cultural attractions, and the art scene is particularly impressive. The Frisco Art Gallery, the Frisco Heritage Museum, and the Texas Sculpture Garden are just a few of the cultural spots in Frisco.
And just as notable is Frisco’s culinary scene. There is a wide array of restaurants serving a variety of cuisines in this Texas city and the surrounding area.

I’ve been a longtime fan of The Keg chain of steakhouse restaurants, and its location in Arlington has everything I’ve come to expect from The Keg.
While it might be down to personal preference, I recommend always treating yourself with a starter before your entree when you’re at The Keg.
There are so many delicious appetizers on the menu here, like French Onion Soup, Baked Garlic Shrimp, Scallops & bacon, and Shrimp Cocktail. I’m partial to cheese, so I went with the Baked Brie with basil pesto, crostini, and red pepper jelly.

In my opinion, Cut & Bourbon does a great job not only with its food but also with its presentation and decor. There’s a distinctly rustic flair in the dining room.
