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. On March 31st 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 Trinity River or bustling Exchange Avenue as well as a live music stage. The menu features burgers made from Texas’ finest steers and grilled a la plancha as well as hot dogs, chicken-apple bratwurst and hand-cut fries and onion rings. The Shack pours their own special blends of root beer and orange soda and offers a wide selection of beer and wine. In addition, they serve up one milkshake special which 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. He has been involved in every aspect of this new venture, beginning with hand-picking a prized Angus steer at the annual Fort Worth stock show and rodeo to ensure top quality meat and to serve as the first thousand burgers at the Love Shack.
