Fort Worth
Taylor Sheridan’s “Lioness” has spent the last few years filming in Fort Worth, which means that the cast has gotten fairly acquainted with the city.
The Paramount+ series spent several months in the Metroplex filming scenes for season 3 from October 2025 to March 2026. The action-thriller wraps up its eight-episode third season this weekend on Sunday, Sept. 20.
Over the last few weeks, the Star-Telegram has spoken with a handful of cast members about the show and their experience in Fort Worth.
In those discussions, the cast shared a few local favorites for where they like to eat and drink. Here’s what they said.

Thad Luckinbill, who plays Kyle, said that he’s a big fan of celebrity hotspot Joe T. Garcia’s.
“I mean, you can’t pick a better ambiance than that,” Luckinbill said. “There’s a million places that we’ve gone and loved and keep going back to.”
LaMonica Garrett, who plays Tucker, and Laysla De Oliveira, who plays Cruz, both said that they’re regulars at Chumley House.
“My favorite restaurant is Chumley House,” Oliveira said. “I actually discovered it pretty late.”

Oliveira also said that B&B Butchers is a favorite among the cast because they “serve a lot of protein.” Cherry Coffee on West Magnolia Avenue is another go-to.
Several of the cast mentioned the Bowie House hotel, Hotel Drover and the Sheridan-owned Cattlemen’s Steakhouse as frequent haunts.
As for drinks, Jill Wagner, who plays Bobby, said the “Lioness” cast likes to light up the White Elephant Saloon in the Stockyards.
“We were there every single weekend,” Wagner said. “And by the way, if you saw us come in, you had to move off the dance floor because we were like wrecking balls on the dance floor.”

On the flip side, Dave Annable, who plays Neal, joked that the opposite happens for him at the White Elephant.
“When I came though, they put a lot of people on the dance floor, so I couldn’t make my way on there just because they saw my hips and thought I pulled something,” he said.
“Lioness” airs Sundays on Paramount+.
