Where to get flights of ice cream, pancakes, pickles & more in DFW

These 12 restaurants around Dallas-Fort Worth offer a unique take on drink and food flights, including ice cream, pancakes, pickles, and more.

Summertime is all about being adventurous and trying new things. So why shouldn’t that apply to food and drinks, too? Next time you meet a friend for brunch or go out on a date night, skip your usual order and go for something bold, flavorful, and exciting instead. Namely: a food or drink flight!

Traditionally, flights were made up of different types of liquor, and there are still plenty of establishments that offer that. But why limit yourself? You can score flights of margaritas or mimosas, coffee or matcha, ice cream or pancakes, and more at locations around the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

It’s a cool (and easy) way to step outside your comfort zone and indulge in delicious food you might not have otherwise tried. Check out 12 of our favorite options around DFW below.

Margarita flights at Blue Goose Cantina

When a restaurant is known for its popular selection of delicious margaritas, like Blue Goose Cantina, it can be impossible to decide which one to order on a night out. Skip the indecisiveness and order one of their margarita flights instead!

Choose from a frozen margarita flight, which comes with their original Frozen, The Diablo (a mix of frozen margarita and red sangria), and Aye Papi Mango, with fresh mango blended in, or an on-the-rocks flight, with The Rock, Hibiscus Margarita, and Mango Margarita.

Feeling spontaneous? Treat yourself to a flight of their award-winning drinks, which comes with a Hibiscus Margarita, Peach Margarita, and Kiwi Cucumber Margarita.

Nobody does peach cobbler like your grandma, but the next best thing can be found at The Peach Cobbler Factory. They have tons of fabulous cobblers, puddings, brownies, cookies, and other desserts.
