Check out the barbecue shacks in the airport. I didn’t; regret that. They also have an in-terminal food delivery service. Maybe run by Uber Eats
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2024
Always allow at least 90 minutes for connections in Dallas. Flights seem to be late often and it’s a big airport to navigate.
