Chef Tim Love’s flagship restaurant, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro first opened in 2000, in Fort Worth’s Historic Stockyards District, and quickly became the city’s premiere dining establishment. Love has designed a menu influenced by all of the ingredients and cultures that have been a part of the West since the first adventure began on the Goodnight-Loving and Chisholm Trails — with an added level of modern sophistication. Love’s food at Lonesome Dove reflects his famously unique “Urban Western” cuisine, celebrating his creative uses of bold flavors and wild game, with an inventive selection of steaks and seafood to dishes such as Wagyu Tomahawk, Kangaroo Carpaccio, Rocky Mountain Elk Ribeye, Wild Boar Ribs, and Rabbit & Rattlesnake Sausage. The Lonesome Dove Western Bistro has received numerous awards and critical acclaim from Wine Spectator, Food & Wine, Zagat Survey, Southern Living, Esquire, The New York Times, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and The Dallas Morning News, and more.

                                      2nd time to Lonesome Dove- made reservations way in advance to make sure we could get a table. Food does not disappoint- absolutely delicious.

                                      Service was excellent. Jeremy was our server and he was attentive and helpful. The food is good. We didn’t have any wild game (not our thing) but the chicken fried steak was the best ever.

                                      Food was good, but service was very bad. Will likely seek out new restaurants next time I am in the area.

                                      If you're looking for something different this is the place. Food and drinks were hit and miss. Texas Red Chili was amazing and ill probably go back just for that and sit at the bar. We did enjoy the dark ambiance downstairs.

                                      Delicious food and great service! Hand cut NY strip was especially tasty. Also recommend the Elk Sliders, Texas Red Chili, and Gulf Coast crab appetizer! If you are in Fort Worth, this is a must visit.

                                      Great food, good service, fun experience. We took our 2 daughters (10 & 7). They loved the s’mores cooked over the campfire in the courtyard!

                                      We were pushed to order more than we wanted or needed. We ordered the mac & cheese as a side to share, and it turned out to be orzo and cheese, which was awful. My husband had the El, which was exceptional, I had scallops and they were soggy. Our waiter suggested I try their version of a wedge salad, it was a gooey mess.  the manager came by and was delightful, I was cold and he actually brought me a blanket. It was a mixed experience. We will probably not go back.
