"Chef Tim Love is one of the stalwarts of the Fort Worth food scene, and his restaurant Lonesome Dove celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. When it opened, there was no fine dining in the Fort Worth Stockyards, and Lonesome Dove’s success wasn’t guaranteed. Now, it’s the go-to place for a plate of wild game (and that could be anything from boar to kangaroo), a night of shots and whiskey cocktails, or a dinner in the wine cellar with a menu specially prepared by Love. The rustic interiors and decor embrace the spirit of the Stockyards, and dressing up in your cowboy boots and hat is encouraged." - Courtney E. Smith

"Lonesome Dove, a restaurant by Fort Worth chef Tim Love, has been serving rattlesnake for over a decade. Chef Love describes rattlesnake as a premium meat that is unlike chicken, being a little chewier and plain. The restaurant is involved in hosting the Rattle Battle event where top chefs compete in preparing fine dining dishes using rattlesnake." - Courtney E. Smith
"If every stereotypical oil magnate had a restaurant, they would all look like Lonesome Dove. From the massive leather booths to the towering cast-iron chandeliers, everything about the place screams rich man cave. This is an aggressive choice for a casual meal with friends, but it does have classy happy hour potential thanks to the massive bar area. Lonesome Dove is best used to impress your dad who still doesn't get what “social media” is. We recommend kicking off the meal with the Brussels sprouts salad and Fettine Trio so you can get a nice primer hit of rabbit-rattlesnake sausage without having to go all in on it. Then, you literally have the pick of the farm, desert, and pasture with the main courses. Honestly, name an edible land-bound animal that isn't represented on this menu and we’ll give you five dollars*. No matter what you go with, your carnivorous urges are sure to be satisfied. The sides are great, too, if you're looking for some non-meat. Not that you'll have room for them. *We will “give” you $5, but not actually give you $5. We're still a start-up, people.

"Chef Tim Love has been hard at work on this restaurant with a full music venue attached — and its slated to open in October. Located in Mule Alley, the Cajun-influenced cuisine offered will include plates such as grilled oysters, crawfish fritters, smoked cauliflower, a fried bologna sandwich, wild boar sloppy joes, and steak frites. With a music hall attached, the question of where to eat before the show has been answered." - Courtney E. Smith
