The GAylord Texan is located in Grapevine, north of DFW airport, but not by much. One think you may want to decide is if you would like to dine in Dallas or Ft. Worth. You are basically the same distance from either city.
Steak- Dallas: Bob's Steak and Chop House (2 locations)
Del Frisco's
III Forks
Al Biernat's
Ft. Worth: Blade's Prime Chop House
Reata
Chisholm Club
BBQ- Dallas: Sonny Bryant's
Peggy Sue's
Fort Worth: Angelo's
Railhead (One location in Colleyville, about 12-15 minutes from the Gaylord)
For chicken, probably Celebration, but there are Popeye's around.

We're going to be out in the boonies at something called the Gaylord Texan Resort, which I gather is close to the airport, but will have a car. Hopefully there will be something in the vicinity that FTers can recommend.
I'd like to do a nice steak place - Morton's, Ruth's Cris - one night and BBQ the next. Neither is afraid of meat.
We're also going to hit a diner type place for a typical American breakfast one day also, plus fried chicken if I can find a Popeye's (not for breakfast).
There you have it, FT: Can you recommend some places? Anywhere in the city is OK, though I would prefer not to have to stray too far if we can help it.
Thanks everyone!
Oh, PS - what about a hotel? The people hosting the event recommended the La Quinta Airport. Um...gonna have to go ahead and say no to that. Is there a Wyndham or *wood property?
