Mad Greens, Great American Bakery Cafe, Chili’s Bar and Grill coming to DFW Airport

The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport will have new dining options coming to terminals A and D.

During the DFW Airport board of directors meetings, new and amended leases were approved for various concessions.

What’s happening? In Terminal A, a lease with Mitchell Olsen Partners DFW LLC was amended for a quick-serve salad location near Gate A pier for Mad Greens. The restaurant, with four locations in the Austin area, serves salad, bowls and wraps, according to its online menu. The restaurant replaces Salad and Go, which closed all its Texas locations earlier this year, according to previous reporting.

Long story short: There were three changes approved for Terminal D.

A Great American Bakery location will be going in near Gate D34 and will be operated by Java Star Inc. There was a lease assumption from Host Java DFW, which operated The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at that same location.

Trinity Groves Bar, near Gate D2, will become Chili’s Margarita Bar, and the Trinity Groves Kitchen will be replaced by Chili’s Bar and Grill.
