At their annual meeting held Friday, Visit Fort Worth touted that the city saw a record number of tourists in 2022 - to the tune of almost 11 million people.

All those tourists are having a huge impact on Cowtown. It's Saturday night at the Reata restaurant in downtown Fort Worth, and groups of friends and families are gathering for dinner.

"Reata's a great spot. We love coming here. Its got a great atmosphere, great food - we really love the Stockyards," said Mike Miller of Aledo. "We're all staying at the Drover [Hotel] and what they've done down there has just been phenomenal."
