Lonesome Dove | Fort Worth

“Amazing restaurant with wonderful atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. We tried the bison, incredibly juicy and flavorful. Also loved the rabbit sausage and the blue corn lobster hushpuppies. Everything was very tasty and beautifully prepared. Definitely a memorable dining experience and a great place to enjoy unique Texas cuisine”

“Tim Love’s staple in the Stockyards never fails to impress. Always fabulous dishes with unique ingredients and flavors that tempt the taste buds.”

“It was our first time at Lonesome Dove and this was one of our best dining experiences ever! The first course was mindblowing (I recommend the lobster hush puppies and the elk slider). The Texas Red Chili was great, but the steaks stole the show! Cooked to perfection, and melted in the mouth. The asparagus, mashed potatoes and truffle Mac and cheese on the side were perfect. And the homemade vanilla ice cream and ancho chile chocolate cake were also extremely delicious! The hospitality is what you would expect: Southern and warm. Our waiter, Jeremy, was the best and he made us feel at home! Everyone on staff was so kind and made this dinner unforgettable. We’ll be coming back!”

“The BEST dining experience in the Stockyards! A good friend recommended Lonesome Dove Western Bistro for our 39th anniversary dinner in December and I am glad we were able to book such a wonderful place. Our server Oscar was very helpful and guided us through their signature drinks, unique menu, sides and desserts. We started off with the tastiest drink, the jalapeño cucumber margarita. It is vibrant and flavorful, can't recommend it enough. We then sampled the rabbit-rattlesnake sausage as our appetizer. For our second course we selected the butter lettuce which is made with a delicious red chili buttermilk zesty dressing. As far as the main courses, we had the elk loin and roasted garlic stuffed beef tenderloin. We selected the burnt carrots and crispy Brussels for our sides. We didn't have any room left for dessert but as a surprise, we were gifted a glass of champagne to help us celebrate our special day. Highly recommend a visit to this fabulous restaurant when in Fort Worth.”

“Finally got to try Tim Love's unassuming gem. Walking by you would miss this place with it's rustic door. Once inside it is very masculine and more like a hunting lodge. The inside dining room is less smoky although it is quieter in the front where the bar is. Welcoming staff from the moment we walked in. 3 Managers came by to say hi and introduce themselves. Great, though expensive wine list. We had the Senegal Cab. A very interesting, game heavy, menu. We started with the Fettine Trio. A "Charcuterie board" of Duck/Rabbit/Rattlesnake sausage - Black Buck/Pork Belly - Texas Wild Boar. Super thinly sliced. You couldn't really appreciate the flavors. For 1st course we tried: the Kangaroo Nachos, Interesting but chewy. The Blue Corn-Lobster Hush puppies that were soft and pillowy but no Lobster flavor. The Fries Oysters were excellent as were the sticky sweet Wild Boar Ribs. I could eat a bowl of those. For Main course we had the Garlic stuffed Beef Tenderloin which was perfectly Medium and super tender and moist. The Rabbit Ravioli was flavorless with a light broth. Nothing exceptional as expected. The dish could have benefited from a nice reduction instead of the broth and actual pieces of Rabbit stuffing rather than the ragout. The Roasted TX mushrooms side was an excellent dish and great side to the Tenderloin. We finished with a great Ancho Chile decadent soft Chocolate Cake with a lovely Vanilla Ice Cream. A great night overall. Thanks for the great service Laura. We'll be back.”
