Where To Eat At Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL)

When traveling, avoiding the hustle and bustle of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport feels a little bit like hitting the lottery. Especially when you pull up to the no-stress, low-key wonder that is Dallas Love Field Airport. A hub for Southwest Airlines, this tiny municipal airport doesn’t have the massive array of amenities on offer at DFW, but there’s still a few solid places to grab a bite before and after your flight.

As such, check out this guide to every single dining (and drinking) option at Love Field Airport. Fortunately, there’s only one terminal at Love Field, and many of the restaurants inside are centrally located at Concession Village, smack-dab in the middle of the airport.
