Dallas warms steadily through spring, with daytime highs rising from the upper 60s°F in March into the 80s°F by May. Rain and thunderstorms become more frequent as the season progresses, particularly during May. The milder afternoons make it easier to spend time around the Cedars or Downtown before or after eating. Off the Bone serves lunch throughout the week except Sunday, with later closing times from Thursday through Saturday if you prefer an early dinner.
Dallas summers are intensely hot, with normal highs reaching about 96°F in July and August and many days climbing above 100°F. Earlier sightseeing followed by lunch indoors can help limit time outside during the strongest afternoon heat. Off the Bone opens at 11 a.m., so arriving near opening also leaves more of the day free for indoor attractions. Thursday through Saturday have longer evening hours, which can suit visitors who prefer heading out after temperatures begin to drop.
September can still feel like summer in Dallas, but temperatures ease steadily through October and November. Later in the season, cooler mornings and milder afternoons make walking around central Dallas much easier than during peak summer. Rain can increase during parts of autumn, especially when stronger storm systems move across North Texas. Off the Bone continues its regular weekday and Saturday schedule, so both lunch and early dinner can fit easily into a day around the Cedars.
Winter in Dallas is generally mild, though strong cold fronts can bring freezing mornings, ice and occasional snowfall. Most days still allow normal travel around the city, but temperatures can shift quickly when a front arrives. Off the Bone remains an easy indoor lunch stop during colder weather, especially when you want a substantial barbecue meal without spending much time outside. The restaurant closes on Sundays, while Thursday through Saturday have later hours than the first half of the week.
