If you're planning holiday travel through DFW International Airport in Dallas, Texas, make sure you pop by the #1 Airport in the U.S.

A ranking compiled by BetUS has ranked TGI Fridays at DFW Airport as the #1 airport bar in the United States. Impressive, huh?

This is encouraging to hear in light of the closing of many TGI Fridays locations around the country, including in Tyler, Texas close to home. Some of us were worried TGI Fridays might be gone forever and frankly, it's depressing to hear about so many businesses closing.

Despite the closing of locations in Texas, TGI Fridays has been ranked the #1 Airport Bar, not only in Texas but throughout the entire country.
