The Star District is the core of the 91-acre Dallas Cowboys headquarters and practice facility in Frisco. Since it inception in 2016, the retail and entertainment district has continued to grow, becoming a magnet for both retail and dining establishments from across the nation.

The Star is worth visiting even for those who are not Cowboy fans. It remains a popular destination for those seeking dynamic dining experiences, shopping and entertainment. There have been several openings lately, and one surprising closing. Here's a roundup of what's new (and out) at the Star in Frisco.

COMING SOON

Wabi House
3675 Gaylord Parkway We love the Wabi House ramen at the original location on Greenville Avenue. Now comes a third location, at The Star in Frisco. This addition to the local dining landscape brings a fusion of Japanese-inspired flavors created by Dien "Chef D" Nguyen and chef Kenzo Tran. Wabi House has garnered a well-deserved reputation for its mastery of ramen, complemented by a delectable array of izakaya-style Japanese dishes, and a curated selection of sake and cocktails.

Led by owner Debbie Roxarzade, Rachel’s Kitchen offers a fresh, casual dining experience, coupled with an inviting atmosphere and a menu chock-full of healthy options for breakfast, lunch and dinner including salads, sandwiches, pastas and freshly squeezed juices.

The burger chain, Wahlburgers, with roots in both Boston and Hollywood, has closed its doors at The Star in Frisco. This lone Wahlburgers restaurant in the state, backed by Mark Wahlberg and his family, opened in October 2019 and closed just over a month ago, on September 28.
