Soccer legend David Beckham and his family dined at a popular Deep Ellum barbecue spot Monday night while in town for the World Cup.
Beckham, his wife Victoria and others visited Terry Black’s Barbecue on July 13. The English football icon chose the restaurant based on recommendations from friends back in the U.K., according to local reports. The family enjoyed the spot’s famous brisket and other Texas-style favorites during their visit.
The dinner came just days before the World Cup semifinal between England and Argentina at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Wednesday. Beckham has been in the United States supporting the tournament and promoting soccer in North America ahead of the 2026 host nation duties.
Terry Black’s Barbecue, known for its Central Texas-style smoked meats, has multiple locations but the Deep Ellum spot draws large crowds with its no-frills, high-quality offerings. The Beckham family’s visit highlights the growing international appeal of Dallas dining and the city’s role as a vibrant destination during major sporting events.
Dallas has hosted several World Cup matches this summer at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, bringing an economic boost to the region through tourism and local business patronage. Beckham’s public appearance at a local eatery adds a celebrity touch to the city’s hospitality scene.
No official comments were released by Beckham or the restaurant about the visit, which appeared casual and low-key. The family was photographed enjoying the meal, further boosting the restaurant’s visibility.
The Beckhams have maintained ties to the Dallas area through David’s past involvement with soccer initiatives and his Inter Miami ownership interests that often bring him stateside.
