As you map out your Dallas adventure, here's a guide to ensure your autumn trip is filled with the very best the city has to offer.
Football Season in Dallas
The fall season in Dallas is synonymous with football. From high school matchups to the high-stakes games of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, there's no escaping the electric atmosphere that takes over the city. If you're a fan, don your jersey and be part of the exhilarating action at the AT&T Stadium. And for those who believe no game is complete without a hearty meal, swing by Sonny Bryan's before kickoff or after the final whistle. Celebrate your team’s win (or soothe a loss) with our famous brisket and ribs, making your game day experience truly unforgettable.
The State Fair of Texas
Running from late September to October, the State Fair of Texas is a must-experience event. Held at Fair Park, it's not just a fair – it's a celebration of everything Texan. From the iconic Big Tex statue to the thrilling rides, livestock shows, and of course, a smorgasbord of unique foods, there’s something for everyone. Before you embark on this grand Texan adventure, fuel up at Sonny Bryan’s. Our hearty BBQ will give you the energy to navigate the vast fairgrounds and take on every attraction!

Dallas is dotted with numerous pumpkin patches, perfect for a fall day out. Wander through the fields, pick your perfect pumpkin, and indulge in hayrides and corn mazes. Once you've worked up an appetite, remember that a warm plate of Sonny Bryan’s BBQ awaits, making your day out in the Dallas countryside even more special.

While Texas might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of fall foliage, certain routes around Dallas offer stunning views of changing leaves.
