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.

Went here with my boyfriend for our anniversary, this restaurant well exceeded my expectations!! I got the garlic stuffed beef tenderloin and my boyfriend got the Elk loin. Both dishes were phenomenal! I definitely would recommend this restaurant. The only thing I would honestly complain about is probably the people who were at the bar, they were loud and it was pretty hard to visit. I would also say it takes a while, so make sure you’re not in a rush.

LOVED everything about this restaurant! Sean our server was great! Bar and lighting in main room with view of open kitchen is amazing! Cozy table! Lighting in side-room we noticed was horrible. Hushpuppies and butter lettuce salad to start…amazing!!! Steak, trout, fries and brussel sprouts for dinner…all incredible! Wish we lived here, it would be a frequent date-night spot! Thank you! Loved everything!!

Wow. Shocked and surprised how bad that was. Had huge hopes and expectations, really disappointed. Not a memorable dish or bite. Got hassled to submit ‘entire’ food order before we even had a cocktail in our hand. Dinner reservation 7:15… got out steak after 9. Beat bite of the night… baby gem salad.

Everything was great—the food, service and ambience, but the wine list was ridiculous. The list was limited and extremely overpriced. Stick with mixed drinks if you go.

I was looking forward to sharing the experience with my daughter. She is a certified “ foodie” as a catering mgr. at a very upscale Mexican restaurant in Dallas. I dined at TLD more than a decade ago and remember it being fabulous. The service was excellent but I wouldn’t say the food was memorable. It was good, but not great. I never leave bad reviews. I hope this is received constructively.
