How to book
| Method | Detail |
|---|---|
| OpenTable | The restaurant’s booking widget is on its website and on OpenTable; use the notes field for occasions and seating requests |
| Phone | 817-381-1157 for same-day tables, questions and parties larger than the online limit |
| Private dining request | For the Boardroom (8 to 20) and semi-private seating (up to 28); replies within 48 hours |
Walk-ins are not addressed on the website. On a quiet weeknight a table may well be open, but the only way to know is to call before you drive up nine floors. The walk-in versus reservation page weighs the two.
How far ahead to book, by night
These windows are guidance from how a ninth-floor room with a curved window wall fills, not a published policy. The pattern is simple: the later in the week and the closer to sunset, the earlier you should book.
| Night | Hours | Suggested booking window |
|---|---|---|
| Monday to Thursday dinner | until 9 PM | A day or two ahead; same-day by phone is often possible |
| Weekday lunch | from 11 AM | Same day for two; a day ahead for six or more |
| Friday dinner | until 10 PM | About a week ahead; sunset-hour tables go first |
| Saturday dinner | 4 PM to 10 PM | A week or more ahead; the earliest and latest slots open up last |
| Sunday | closed | Not available |
How far ahead to book, by event
| Event | What happens to the room | Book |
|---|---|---|
| Cowboys home game, Thursday or Monday night | Pre-game tables from 4 PM fill early | When the schedule is released |
| Cowboys home game on Sunday | Restaurant closed; Friday and Saturday before fill with visiting fans | Two to three weeks ahead |
| Rangers weeknight game, about 7 PM first pitch | 4:30 to 5:30 PM tables are the pressure point | A week ahead |
| Concert at AT&T Stadium or Globe Life Field | Whole evening books out | As soon as you have tickets |
| Valentine’s weekend (February 12 and 13, 2027) | Window tables and the late seating go first | Three or more weeks ahead |
| Friday or Saturday before Mother’s Day or Father’s Day | Family tables of 6 or more | Two to three weeks ahead |
| Christmas week and New Year’s Eve | Holiday hours are set each year | Call to confirm the schedule, then book |
Booking for a group
Group bookings follow the menu’s printed policies. Parties of 6 or more have a 20% gratuity added to the check. Parties of 12 or more in the main dining room are presented one check with no splits. Groups of 8 to 20 can take the Boardroom, a private room with one long table and a large screen, and groups up to 28 can be seated semi-privately; both go through the private dining request, and parties of 10 or more meet a food and beverage minimum quoted in the proposal. Details are on the large party dining page.
What to put in the reservation notes
The notes field is where a reservation earns its keep. Useful things to say: the occasion (birthday, anniversary, proposal), a window table request, which is honored when possible but not guaranteed, a hard stop such as a 7:05 PM first pitch, food allergies, since the menu asks that they be raised before ordering, and a vegetarian guest so the kitchen can plan a plate from salads and sides. Cancellation terms are not published; if plans change, call, since a released Saturday table is usually rebooked the same day. Arrive on time: a reservation holds a table, and a party that is fifteen minutes late on a Friday is competing with everyone who called that afternoon. The reservations page covers the rest.

Frequently asked questions
Can you walk into Mercury Chophouse without a reservation?
The restaurant does not publish a walk-in policy. Weeknights are your best chance, and Friday and Saturday nights and game or concert dates are the worst. Call 817-381-1157 before you go; the host stand can tell you in a minute whether a table is open.
How far ahead should I book a Saturday night table?
A week or more for a party of two, and two to three weeks if the Saturday sits before a Sunday Cowboys game, a concert or a holiday. Saturday service runs 4 PM to 10 PM only. Sunset-hour tables and the last seatings are the first to go.
Can I book a specific table or a window seat?
You can ask, in the OpenTable notes or by phone, and the host stand honors requests when it can. Window tables are not guaranteed. Booking the earlier slot and arriving on time improves the odds. The curved window wall gives many second-row tables a view too.
What is the largest party I can book online?
Large groups should call 817-381-1157 or use the private dining request rather than the online widget. Parties of 6 or more carry 20% gratuity; the Boardroom seats 8 to 20 and semi-private seating handles up to 28. Replies to private dining requests arrive within 48 hours.
What happens if I need to cancel a reservation?
Cancellation terms for regular tables are not published. Cancel through OpenTable or call 817-381-1157 as early as you can, since weekend and game-night tables are in demand. For private events, deposit and cancellation terms are set out in the written proposal.
