Restaurant Equipment and Supply for Fort Worth, Arlington and Tarrant County
Fort Worth earned the name Cowtown on the Chisholm Trail, when drovers moved more than four million cattle through town between 1866 and 1890. Its kitchens still cook like it: steaks in the Stockyards, Tex-Mex at Joe T. Garcia's, open since 1935, and brisket at Goldee's Bar-B-Q, No. 3 on Texas Monthly's 2025 list of the state's top 50 barbecue joints.
Around Tarrant County, Grapevine has nine winery tasting rooms and holds GrapeFest every September, Haltom City's East Belknap Street is home to many Asian businesses, Euless has drawn Tongan families since 1971, and Burleson's Babe's Chicken Dinner House serves family-style fried chicken in a 1905 hardware store on Main Street.
Since 2015, The Restaurant Warehouse has shipped to thousands of commercial kitchens in every state. Fort Worth-area orders ship from our Dallas warehouse, so Tarrant County restaurants get the same low prices and freight delivery right to Fort Worth, Arlington, Grapevine, North Richland Hills, and Mansfield. The most common orders here are reach-in refrigerators, freezers, charbroilers, griddles, fryers, and food truck equipment.
Fort Worth Stockyards Steaks and Joe T. Garcia's Tex-Mex
The Union Stockyards were built in 1887, work on the Armour packing plant and the Livestock Exchange Building began in 1902, and the yards peaked in 1944 with 5,277,496 head, according to the Fort Worth Stockyards. The Stockyards still run a cattle drive twice a day. Jesse and Mozelle Roach opened Cattlemen's Steak House on North Main Street in the Stockyards in 1947. A few blocks away on the North Side, Joe T. Garcia's opened on July 4, 1935, as Joe T. Barbecue. It now covers a full city block, seats more than 1,000 guests on a busy weekend, takes cash or check only, and is run by the founders' grandchildren, the Lancarte siblings. Texans mark Chicken-Fried Steak Day every October 26.
Steakhouses and Tex-Mex kitchens run on charbroilers for steaks and fajitas, fryers for chicken-fried steak, griddles for tortillas, and chef bases under the line, with ice machines and bar refrigeration for the margarita crowd.
Fort Worth and Arlington Barbecue
Texas Monthly releases its Top 50 barbecue list every four years. On the 2025 list, Fort Worth's Goldee's Bar-B-Q ranked No. 3, and Sabar Barbecue, also in Fort Worth, made the cut. In downtown Arlington, pitmaster Brandon Hurtado put down permanent roots at 205 E. Front St. in 2020, and it made the 2021 Top 50. In 2025 the Dallas Morning News named Hurtado and Arlington's Smoke'N Ash BBQ among the DFW standouts that missed the new list.
Barbecue joints and BBQ trucks need work tables for trimming and slicing brisket, two-door reach-in refrigerators and freezers for bulk meat, prep tables for sides, and food truck equipment for the trailer crowd.
Grapevine's Urban Wine Trail and GrapeFest
Grapevine bills itself as home of the original Urban Wine Trail, and its convention and visitors bureau lists nine winery tasting rooms, including Messina Hof Grapevine, Landon Winery, Cross Timbers and Bingham Family Vineyards. GrapeFest started in 1987 as a one-day festival with six Texas wineries, held to support the restoration of Historic Main Street. Today it takes over Historic Main Street every September, draws about 250,000 people a year, and its People's Choice Wine Tasting Classic pours only Texas wines.
Tasting rooms, wine bars and Main Street restaurants order back-bar coolers, glass merchandisers, undercounter refrigerators, and countertop display cases for cheese and pastry.
Restaurant Supply Store in Fort Worth
We ship straight to your Fort Worth restaurant. Most Fort Worth-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 drive to Dallas and let us ship it. Most Tarrant County calls are for a fast replacement, like a reach-in refrigerator or ice machine that quit in a Texas summer, or for a full equipment package for a new barbecue joint, steakhouse, taqueria, or food truck. Tell us what you are cooking and how much space you have, and we will help you size the line.

Serving Fort Worth, Arlington and Tarrant County
Fort Worth is our hub for Tarrant County and the towns on its south edge in Johnson County. Restaurants from the Stockyards to Grapevine and Mansfield get the same equipment, free lift gate freight, and warranty, and they talk to the same team. Operators searching for a restaurant supply store in Fort Worth usually need a fast replacement, so we ship reach-in refrigerators, freezers, ice machines, and charbroilers across the county.
Fort Worth and Burleson
Fort Worth's Environmental Services Department inspects every food business inside city limits. South on Interstate 35W, Babe's Chicken Dinner House opened in Burleson on March 14, 2005, at 120 S. Main St., in a building that opened in 1905 as the Wilson Brothers Company, which sold hardware, carriages and caskets. Fort Worth and Burleson kitchens order fryers, griddles, ranges, and prep tables.
Arlington and Mansfield
Arlington's Health Division does about 1,700 restaurant inspections a year, checks each restaurant twice a year, and has posted letter grades since November 2023, according to the city. Downtown, Hurtado Barbecue cooks on East Front Street, near the Urban Union block. Restaurants in Arlington and Mansfield order reach-in refrigerators, undercounter refrigerators, draft beer coolers, and ice machines.
Haltom City, North Richland Hills and Keller
In 2021 Census data, Asian residents made up 9% of Haltom City, and 42% of them were Vietnamese, according to the Fort Worth Report. Many Asian businesses gather along East Belknap Street, and the new H Mart plaza on NE Loop 820, Tarrant County's first H Mart, brings in 85C Bakery, Uncle Tetsu, Hanabi Ramen and Kin Pho. North Richland Hills has its own Babe's Chicken Dinner House, and we deliver north to Keller too. Noodle shops, bakeries and family kitchens order freezers, ranges, glass merchandisers, and work tables.
Hurst, Euless, Bedford and Grapevine
The first Tongan couple came to Euless in 1971, drawn by American Airlines and the new airport, and today the DFW Tongan community numbers 6,000 to 7,000, with many families centered in Euless and 10 Tongan churches in the city, according to NBC 5. Part of DFW Airport sits inside Euless city limits. Next door, Hurst and Bedford fill out the Mid-Cities, and Grapevine's Historic Main Street restaurants serve the GrapeFest crowd every September. Mid-Cities kitchens and caterers order reach-in refrigerators, freezers, charbroilers, and back-bar coolers.
