Best Hotels With a Restaurant in North Richland Hills
Hotels with a sit-down restaurant near North Richland Hills/Smithfield solve the corridor's biggest gap: this Tarrant County stretch around Trinity Lakes Station has no walkable downtown, so a restaurant inside the hotel matters more here than in a dense city center. The eight properties in this list, from Hyatt Place Fort Worth/Hurst to Radisson Hotel Fort Worth North-Fossil Creek, all keep a bar-and-restaurant running on site, useful after a TEXRail ride in or before an early-morning departure from the platform. Prices and distances vary enough across the eight that the restaurant tag alone does not decide the booking; what is attached to it usually does.
This corridor grew up around freeway exits and airport traffic rather than a main street, so hotel restaurants here function as the neighborhood's actual dining scene for anyone without a car. Fort Worth Stockyards and downtown proper sit a real drive away, which is why a property like Radisson leans into its own nightclub and dining room rather than pointing guests toward a walkable strip that does not exist nearby. The result favors travelers who plan to eat close to where they sleep.
Where to stay
Eating without a car near the tracks
A traveler riding TEXRail through Trinity Lakes Station rarely has a rental car waiting, which turns dinner into a logistics problem the moment the train pulls away. Every hotel on this list answers that with an on-site kitchen rather than a vending machine, from Hilton Garden Inn's dining room connected to its conference center to Radisson's restaurant paired with a nightclub for a later evening. The tags attached to each one differ more than the restaurant itself: Candlewood Suites is the only one tagged budget, while La Quinta Fort Worth NE Mall and Hyatt Place add free breakfast to the dining option.
Both Hyatt Place Fort Worth/Hurst and Candlewood Suites DFW West - Hurst sit within a nine-minute taxi of Trinity Lakes Station, each pairing a restaurant or bar with the kind of late hours a TEXRail arrival actually needs. Hyatt Place runs a coffee-and-cocktail bar alongside its restaurant tag, while Candlewood Suites backs its bar with an in-suite kitchen, giving a traveler two different ways to eat without leaving the property after a train ride in from Fort Worth or DFW Airport. Both also carry free parking, useful if a car sits idle while the train does the work.
La Quinta Inn & Suites DFW Airport West-Glade and La Quinta Inn & Suites Fort Worth NE Mall both carry a restaurant and bar tag alongside free breakfast, useful for a trip that starts early and ends late. The Glade property sits nine minutes by taxi from Grapevine Vintage Railroad, a different rail line than TEXRail but still evidence of how thoroughly this corridor was built around getting somewhere by track; the NE Mall property is seven minutes from Trinity Lakes Station itself, the shortest ride of any hotel on this list.
Hilton Garden Inn Dallas at Hurst Conference Center connects its dining room directly to a conference center, eight minutes by taxi from Trinity Lakes Station, aimed at business travelers who want a meal without leaving the building between meetings. Holiday Inn Fort Worth - Alliance and Four Points by Sheraton Fort Worth North both run a straightforward bar-and-restaurant combination, the Holiday Inn adding room service on top, both with free parking and a fitness center, neither one tied closely to the station itself but both within reach of Fort Worth's northern edge.
Radisson Hotel Fort Worth North-Fossil Creek closes out the list with the most nightlife-leaning restaurant of the group, a dining room paired with a nightclub and room service, nine minutes by taxi from Fort Worth Stockyards. It also carries a spa, an indoor pool and a hot tub, plus free parking and a pet-friendly policy, proof that the restaurant tag on this corridor often comes bundled with more than a dining room, and that a livelier evening near the nightclub can be followed by a slower morning in the pool before heading back toward the platform.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a TEXRail arrival at Trinity Lakes Station without a car, I would book La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Worth NE Mall, seven minutes away by taxi and the closest hotel on this list to the platform. Its restaurant and bar settle dinner without a second ride, free breakfast covers an early departure, and the airport shuttle helps if the trip continues toward DFW.

Hilton Garden Inn Dallas at Hurst Conference Center
A conference center dining room eight minutes from the platform
View hotel →Why guests love itI was at Hilton Garden Inn for three days of meetings and never had to leave the building for a meal, which made the packed schedule easier to manage. The airport shuttle picked me up within twenty minutes of my flight landing, and the hot tub after the last session of each day was the best part of the trip. The eight-minute taxi to Trinity Lakes Station on my day off was short enough that I actually used it.
4.2Guest scoreRestaurantHoliday Inn Fort Worth - Alliance by IHG
A straightforward bar and restaurant with room service on top
View hotel →Why guests love itRoom service is the detail I would point out to tired families at the Holiday Inn Fort Worth Alliance, an easy option after a long travel day. The outdoor pool suits children on warm days, the bar and restaurant cover other meals, and parking is free. Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar is five taxi-minutes away, DFW Airport about thirty. An 8.4 rating from 402 reviews backs it.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Worth NE Mall
Seven minutes from Trinity Lakes Station, an airport shuttle on top
View hotel →Why guests love itAn indoor pool, a hot tub and free breakfast make this La Quinta an easy family base on the TEXRail side of Fort Worth, seven taxi-minutes from Trinity Lakes Station. I also like the airport shuttle for arrival day, and the on-site bar and restaurant for evenings. Parking is free, pets are accepted and there is a business center. An 8.2 rating from 1,334 reviews supports the choice.

View hotel →Why guests love itHyatt Place Fort Worth/Hurst is a three-star on the DFW Airport corridor with free breakfast, free parking, an outdoor pool and a 24/7 gym. The coffee-and-cocktail bar suits a late arrival, and the pool gives children a break on a hot afternoon. Pets are welcome and there is a business centre. Trinity Lakes Station is nine minutes away by taxi. Rated 8 by more than 1,000 guests, I would book it for a family stop before or after a flight.
3.9Guest scoreRestaurantFour Points by Sheraton Fort Worth North
A five-minute walk to Twin Peaks, a straightforward bar back at the hotel
View hotel →Why guests love itWe stopped here on a Fort Worth trip that had nothing to do with the airport or the train line, and the walk to Twin Peaks became our default dinner spot two nights running. The hotel bar filled in on the third night when we didn't feel like going out. It's a longer ride to DFW than we realized going in, so we built extra time into the departure morning.
3.8Guest scoreRestaurantRadisson Hotel Fort Worth North-Fossil Creek
A restaurant and nightclub nine minutes from the Stockyards
View hotel →Why guests love itOur view: this is the pick on the TEXRail corridor for a group that wants a proper night out, since the restaurant connects to a real nightclub and the Fort Worth Stockyards are nine minutes away by taxi. Families should know that the club side can be loud late in the evening, while the indoor pool, hot tub and spa give children and non-clubbers something to do. Pets are accepted and parking is free, which helps on a road trip.
