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.

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!

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.

Lonesome Dove Western Bistro is one of those places that feels uniquely Fort Worth while still offering a refined dining experience. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes a great balance between upscale and relaxed, with a warm, inviting setting that never feels stiff or overly formal. It is the kind of place that works just as well for a special occasion as it does for a memorable night out.
The menu focuses on bold flavors and high quality ingredients, with a Western-inspired approach that sets it apart from typical steakhouse fare. Dishes are thoughtfully prepared and full of character, and you can tell a lot of care goes into both flavor and presentation. The portions are satisfying without being excessive, and everything feels intentional rather than overdone.
Service is attentive and knowledgeable, with staff who are happy to explain the menu or make recommendations without hovering. The pacing of the meal feels comfortable, allowing you to enjoy each course without feeling rushed.
Overall, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro delivers a memorable experience that reflects the personality of Fort Worth while offering excellent food and service. It is a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy a high quality meal in a setting that feels both distinctive and welcoming.

Absolutely magnificent! One of the very best steaks I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. If you’re not familiar with this local steak house, it is easily comparable or (better than) national fine dining steak houses Del Frisco’s, Capital Grille, etc. Don’t miss it! Whether you’re just visiting Fort Worth or live here, go! It’s amazing!

We were the late visitors and ran into the place 30 min before closing. And we truly appreciate how welcoming and friendly you let us in and served us the most incredible and unique dishes.
We decided to jump on the bar, to make the process easier, and thankfully to the bartender, we got not only incredible food but outstanding service as well.
Extra thankfully for equal dividing every dish between our company of 4.
What for the food: you can’t find another place ever near that served not only unique but perfectly cooked and mixed dishes. It was that mouthwatering, that I even forgot to take the photos
Wild boar, snake, elk. What else do you need for the food orgasm?!

EXCELLENT STAFF
AWESOME FOOD
TEXAS VIBE
This is an upscale restaurant in a nicely relaxed setting definitely run smoothly by a sharp management team.
My wife and I dined here in June of 2025. We had a reservation at 6PM as we like to dine early and leave time for after-dinner cocktails.
We were greeted by the valet opening the door for us. Very nice. And then the nice hostess got us seated.
The decor is Texas/cowboy/ranch with similar vibe. Real nice.
Very quickly our server arrived and started serving us. He was one of the most enthusiastic servers we have ever met. Chatting to us to make us feel like home. Talking about the food on the menu and the special steaks they have. He had a great knowledge of wine and could recommend wines for our taste. Really a great experience on that facet alone.
The menu is incredible. It offers you choices you didn’t even know existed. And it all sounds sooooo delicious. The difficulty is to limit yourself.
The food was very amazing – really well made and seasoned. Very delicious.
The noise level at 6-8PM was low and increased to moderate-high as we were getting ready to leave shortly after 8PM.
Overall an exceptional Texas-vibe experience.
Definitely a must-do when in town.

Larger work group dinner, was managed well by the staff. The food? Great with novel menu options. Apps including an elk item was flavorful. Creative drinks and the steak was perfect in every way. Took a gamble on the dessert-cheesecake. It was an in-house chocolate creation WOW, like none other. Bought another slice to take home to the family bc I’m a nice person .

Great old fashioned, excellent service, and the steaks were spot on. The sides, especially the mac n’ cheese, didn’t quite meet expectations, but overall still a solid dining experience.
