Take a Walk Through Railroad Park (Lewisville Lakeway On-Demand Zone)

Lone Star Toyota of Lewisville Railroad Park is the largest single capital project in the history of Lewisville.

Enjoy Lunch Nashville-Style at Helen’s Hot Chicken (Lewisville Connect Route 22)

Helen’s Hot Chicken serves up pleasantly spicy Nashville-style chicken.  A franchise originally started in a small trailer off the side of the road in Nashville, Tennessee, this restaurant serves up an authentic and original dining experience unlike anywhere else.   Helen’s chicken comes in four flavors: unseasoned “Plain”, satisfyingly burning “Mild”, sweat-inducing “Hot”, and — for the brave and the bold – “Hella Hot”.  You can easily access Helen’s Hot Chicken via Lewisville Connect Route 22.

Cool Off with an Afternoon Snack (Lewisville Connect Route 21)

To cool the fire from your lunch, Sukoon Coffee & Ice Cream has the frozen treats that you need!  This shop boasts an assortment of homemade ice cream flavors, as well as a few twists on traditional ice cream-based treats.  The coffee at Sukoon is organic and fair-trade, with both traditional and original beverage combinations.  You can access Sukoon’s sugar, caffeinated deliciousness by Lewisville Connect Route 21.

Dine Big or Go Home at Twisted Root (Lewisville Connect Route 22)

After an afternoon spent in the Old West, nothing satiates the hunger like a meaty, savory dinner.  Twisted Root Burger Company is located in Old Town Lewisville and can be reached by using Lewisville Connect Route 22.  This burger-focused restaurant serves up large portions in creative combinations.  Besides standard beef options, the more adventurous diner can opt for more exotic meats, including venison, ostrich, rabbit, camel and more!  Affordable prices make Twisted Root an ideal stop for a large family outing!

Close the Curtain with a Show (Lewisville Connect Route 22)

End the night with a little razzle dazzle by taking in a show at one of Lewisville’s esteemed theatres. Both the Medical City Lewisville (MCL) Grand Theatre and the Greater Lewisville Community Theatre are located less than a block away from your dinner stop at Twisted Root.  The MCL Grand Theatre features a wide assortment of entertainment, from Broadway classic to live music to exotic dance spectacles.  Be sure to check out North Texas Performing Arts – Frisco’s production of Disney’s Newsies, running from August 22-25.  The Greater Lewisville Community Theatre performs within the oldest building in Lewisville, constructed in 1885.  Their upcoming season includes such classics as The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, The Fantasticks and God of Carnage.
