Chef Tim Love has been at the forefront of the Fort Worth dining scene since opening the award-winning Lonesome Dove Western Bistro in 2000. In April 2007, he launched his fourth restaurant, The Love Shack, an outdoor burger joint overlooking Fort Worth’s historic Stockyards District.
The Love Shack features two levels of outdoor seating with views of either the Marine Creek of the Trinity River or bustling Exchange Avenue as well as a live music stage featuring some of North Texas' best country and rock music artists. The menu features burgers made from Texas’ finest steers and grilled a la plancha as well as hot dogs, sausages and hand-cut fries and onion rings. The Shack pours their own special blend of both root beer and lemonade and offers a wide selection of beer and wine. In addition, they serve up a creamy milkshake which flavor changes daily.
Love has long believed that the Fort Worth dining scene was missing a key element: a place for people of all ages who work, live, and play in the neighborhood to gather over casual food, great music, and a cold drink. With his other establishments thriving, Love knew it was finally time to fill that gap with The Love Shack.
As well as live entertainment, Love Shack holds a family movie night every Sunday at 7pm, displayed on the big screen.
The Love Shack shares outdoor deck space with sister property The White Elephant Saloon, allowing guests of both to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and live music performances. While The Shack offers seating, people are encouraged to take their food and drinks to go for a stroll through the nearby stockyards or a picnic along the river bank.
The Love Shack will join Tim Love’s other Fort Worth establishments, The Lonesome Dove Western Bistro and The White Elephant Saloon, as a pioneering restaurant in the cowboy tradition.
