Favorite Place to Eat or Chill:
Burger Island. Don’t judge me. It’s nasty. It’s dingy. It’s unhealthy. And it’s delicious. Best fries in Texas. Great burgers. Definitely a guilty pleasure — once a year max.
Favorite Outdoor Activity:
Golf. Riverchase, Luna Vista, Irving Golf, and Bear Creek are all solid public courses nearby at reasonable prices. Cowboys Golf Club is awesome too — great spot if you ever feel like treating your pastor to a gift certificate.
Favorite Place to Shop:
There are tons of great retail stores around 635 and MacArthur — I can find almost everything I need in that area.
Favorite Community Event:
Irving really shines when it comes to family-friendly events. Nearly every holiday has something fun, free, and well-attended. We also enjoy going to local charity dinners for Irving Cares, Family Promise, Irving Schools Foundation, and others — it’s a great way to support the community.
