Loop 9 BBQ

Loop 9 is a locally-owned restaurant in the heart of the new mixed-use development in EpicCentral. It is the anchor of the new slate of tenants in the development. The restaurant is named after a highway planned for the area decades ago and offers local barbecue fare and a pie shop integrated into the front of the restaurant. Larry Lavine, the founder of Loop 9, started the first Chili's restaurant on Greenville Avenue in Dallas nearly 50 years ago. Loop 9 aims to be in the "premium BBQ category" in the DFW area by offering all the classic Texas BBQ staples. Loop 9 is a unique concept curated by Larry Lavine, hoping to draw people to the development looking for premium meat and a wide array of scratch-made sides.

Its location along the EpicCentral boardwalk and the patio overlooking the water feature provide multiple amenities to attract visitors. Loop 9 will be a seven-day-a-week operation serving lunch and dinner, making it stand out from the barbecue crowd. There's a massive patio facing the EpicCentral boardwalk and water feature, and there's plenty of space inside when the weather doesn't cooperate. What also sets them apart is their commitment to using locally sourced, high-quality ingredients from Texas-based producers. The atmosphere is unique, and the menu has a laid-back, casual vibe, perfect for a family meal or night out with friends.
