Restaurant Equipment and Supply for Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Irving and the Dallas Metro
Dallas eats big, and it has for a long time. Fritos debuted to the public at the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition at Fair Park, and every fall the State Fair of Texas fills the same grounds for 24 days from late September into mid-October. Texans credit Fletcher's with the corny dog, which debuted at the Fair in 1942, and Fletcher's says it serves an average of 550,000 corny dogs per fair across seven locations.
The Dallas Farmers Market built its first Shed in 1939 and became a city-owned market in 1941. Today it hosts a market every weekend, year-round, with more than 200 small businesses and 50-plus Texas farmers and ranches. Around it, the metro cooks Tex-Mex, Texas barbecue, Garland pho, Carrollton Korean and Richardson Chinese, from Deep Ellum and Bishop Arts to Plano, Frisco and McKinney.
Since 2015, The Restaurant Warehouse has shipped to thousands of commercial kitchens in every state. Dallas-area orders ship from our Dallas warehouse, so Dallas-area restaurants get the same low prices and freight delivery right to Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Garland, McKinney, and Denton. The most common orders here are reach-in refrigerators, freezers, griddles, fryers, ice machines, and food truck equipment.
Dallas Tex-Mex: El Fenix and the Frozen Margarita Machine
El Fenix opened on September 15, 1918, when Miguel "Mike" Martinez turned his Martinez Cafe in downtown Dallas into a Mexican restaurant. It moved across the street to McKinney Avenue in 1965, and D Magazine calls it Dallas' oldest food chain. Dallas also gave the country the frozen margarita machine: in 1971, Mariano Martinez and his friend Frank Adams rebuilt a used soft-serve machine, first ran it on May 11, 1971 at Mariano's Mexican Cuisine in Old Town, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History took in the original in 2003.
Tex-Mex kitchens run on griddles for fajitas and tortillas, fryers for chips, ranges for rice and beans, and ice machines and bar refrigeration to keep the margaritas coming.
Texas Barbecue from Deep Ellum to McKinney
Justin and Diane Fourton started Pecan Lodge in 2010 as a stall in Shed 2 at the Dallas Farmers Market, then moved to Main Street in Deep Ellum in 2014. Hutchins BBQ began in 1978, when Roy and Delores Hutchins opened a barbecue restaurant attached to their home in Princeton, and it moved to McKinney in 1991 before adding a second location in Frisco. In May 2025, the Dallas Morning News named Pecan Lodge, Hutchins, Terry Black's in Dallas and Zavala's Barbecue in Grand Prairie among the great local joints that missed that year's Texas Monthly Top 50.
Barbecue joints need big reach-in refrigerators and freezers for brisket and ribs, work tables for trimming and slicing, prep tables for sides, and fryers for the fried extras.
Garland Pho, Carrollton Koreatown and Richardson China Town
Garland says it has the 14th largest Vietnamese population in the United States, and its Pho Trail, promoted by the city, links about 20 family-owned pho restaurants. Carrollton's Koreatown grew up at President George Bush Turnpike and Old Denton Road after H Mart opened there in 2008, and 99 Ranch followed. Dozens of businesses now sit on all four corners, including Doma Seolleongtang and Hampyong Noodle on Old Denton Road. In Richardson, DFW China Town on North Greenville Avenue opened in 1985.
Pho shops and noodle houses need stock-pot ranges for broth that simmers all day, Korean barbecue kitchens need undercounter refrigeration at every station, and bakeries and markets need countertop display cases and glass merchandisers.
Restaurant Supply Store in Dallas
We ship straight to your Dallas-area restaurant. Most Dallas-area orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days from our Dallas warehouse, with free freight and free lift gate service. Will-call pickup in Dallas is available for verified restaurant businesses, but most kitchens skip the trip and let us ship it. Most Dallas-area calls are for a fast replacement, like a reach-in refrigerator that quit in August or a fryer at the end of its life, or for a full equipment package for a new restaurant, taqueria, barbecue joint or food truck. In Dallas, restaurant inspections are handled by the city's Code Compliance Consumer Health Division, while cities like Plano, Frisco, Irving and Garland run their own programs. Tell us what you are cooking and how much space you have, and we will help you size the line.
