Longview, Texas – A fresh gathering place has opened its doors in the heart of Longview, offering locals a blend of recreation and casual dining. Cargo TX, located on the city’s bustling commercial corridor, combines a modern patio, mini‑golf course and pickleball courts with a menu of lunch‑time favorites.
Family‑Focused Amenities
KTBS 3 contributor Bethany Nolan visited the venue with her father to get a first‑hand look. “The mini‑golf space, the patio – it’s all just such a great addition to Longview,” Nolan said. “The pickleball, you name it, it was fabulous. It’s such a beautiful place to go. Great place for events.”

The menu emphasizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients and includes sandwiches, salads and a variety of quick‑serve entrees designed for families on the go. The open‑air patio provides a relaxed setting for diners to enjoy their meals while watching friends and neighbors play a round of mini‑golf or a match of pickleball.
Community Events and Private Functions
Beyond everyday dining, Cargo TX is positioning itself as a venue for community gatherings.
