Chef Matt McCallister told the Dallas Observer that he plans to open his Dallas restaurant River Sing in October 2026.

Chef Matt McCallister plans to open River Sing, his next Dallas restaurant, in October 2026, according to an interview with the Dallas Observer.

The planned restaurant would mark McCallister’s return to running his own Dallas restaurant. The Observer reported the October target after speaking directly with the chef.

October is a target, not a firm date

The reported timeline identifies a month rather than a specific opening day. It should therefore be treated as McCallister’s current plan, not a guaranteed date for the restaurant’s debut.

The approved information confirms the restaurant’s name, its planned Dallas location and McCallister’s intention to open it in October. It does not provide a precise opening date or establish that the schedule cannot change before then.

People following Dallas restaurant openings can place River Sing on the fall calendar while waiting for a firm date. For now, the chef’s interview is the basis for the timeline, and October remains the anticipated opening month rather than a completed or formally dated opening.
