Lonesome Dove Fort Worth

Yum! First shout out to our waiter, Kyle! He was awesome! If you're feeling adventurous or just want to have a good meal, definitely check Lonesome Dove out. We had the rabbit-rattlesnake sausage😱, and the Kangaroo nachos... yum! Would recommend both. The prime rib was cooked to perfection... Had lunch but will definitely go back for dinner...

We had high expectations that were exceeded on our first visit to Lonesome Dove. Friendly, attentive, helpful service was a highlight. Everything we ordered was fantastic: rattlesnake-rabbit sausage, wedge salad, garlic-stuffed tenderloin, elk loin, ancho chili chocolate cake. The only slight negative was the blinding sun every time the door opened, but that can’t be helped. In all, an outstandingly memorable meal, and we hope to be back soon.

WE HAD THE BEST MEAL/TIME EVER!! Conner was our waiter, he was incredible. We enjoyed every single item we got from the rattlesnake sausage, kangaroo, elk tenderloin, elk sliders, chili, chocolate dessert, rabbit ravioli it was all incredible.

We chose Lonesome Dove Western Bistro - Fort Worth for our special night out in the Stockyards, and it did not disappoint! We started with the Rattlesnake sausage and Elk Sliders, then most of our group had the Texas Red (chili) and were glad they had ordered that. Beef Tenderloin was the entree we all chose, with many shared sides. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. For dessert, a decadent ancho chile chocolate cake with crunchy almond brittle and house-made vanilla bean ice cream finished the evening on a high note. Our service was exceptional and there was no rush for the table, so we were able to enjoy every minute of our evening. I would highly recommend Lonesome Dove if you are ever visiting the Stockyards!!! Although it is an expensive meal, it will be worth every penny.

Just left this restaurant, we were celebrating my husband’s birthday. The hostess was so sweet when we walked in, all smiles so welcoming and warm. Someone give Adam a raise because he was awesome. The food was AMAZING. The environment, the experience, the courses, the history…10/10. Our server literally made our night, he knew the menu and history of the restaurant so well. This will be our official go-to restaurant for birthdays and anniversaries.

Definitely one of the best steakhouses in all of the DFW metroplex. Not only is this place right in the center of the stockyards area, to already give it a sense of authenticity, the food itself is amazing. We started with the Kangaroo Nachos which immediately set the mood that this was about to be an amazing meal. Although we set at the bar, it’s a full service bar so it was still amazing. The bartenders were amazing with their drinks and their suggestions on the menu. This place is a solid 5 full stars and I suggest you go here for any occasion if you’re looking for a top tier steakhouse.

My husband I went here during our staycation honeymoon at Hotel Drover and it was an easy walk in the stockyards. We could not have chosen a better dinner for our final night of our honeymoon. Every dish is incredible and made from scratch (except King's Hawaiian rolls on the elk sliders). Our waiter, Stevhan, was so great and informative. We felt celebrated the entire night and received complimentary churros. My husband is a big steak guy, and he said the Bison steak was the best steak he has ever had by far. It was so romantic and we are excited to come back for more celebrations!

A bit loud but a great place. Tenderloin is excellent. We had the chef sampler for appetizers - an awesome choice. Beet salad has quite a bit of heat. Very good, but beware if you can't take the heat. Wine selection is very nice and reasonably priced. The menu has the Texas western flare, but nicely prepared.

Lonesome Dove is probably the best steakhouse in Fort Worth.

The quality of food here is so good. The Elk sliders is my favorite appetizer. The flavor was to die for… I would say the rabbit rattlesnake sausage was a close second. I enjoyed the kangaroo nachos but I wish there was more of them!! I want a whole plate of these things..

You absolutely can not go wrong with the stuffed tenderloin. This steak is so tender, your knife will literally slide right through it. That roasted garlic butter stuffed in the middle elevates this steak to another level.

My friend ordered the chili rubbed Lamb chops, with avocado salsa. Okay this one I would say is my absolute favorite dish I tried tonight. The next time we visit I am ordering the lamb. This dish is unique and that lamb was so tasty.. trust me you don’t want to miss out on this one.

Get some Brussel sprouts on the side! The bacon they put in them is so good.

For dessert, the ancho chile chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream. It is rich and the perfect amount of sweet to finish off the night.

Enjoy!!!

Amazing place. Interesting game offerings. Everything was done to taste. Excellent from start to finish. Check out Fort Worth's version of the River Walk off the back patio past the fire pit.

One of the best restaurants in FW. It has a unique Texas/Western inspired menu that you won't find anywhere else. Seating can be cramped but the atmosphere/setting is nice. There is a bar area in the main dining room. There is also patio/outdoor seating when it is nice weather. It is pricey but a great option for a special dinner/date.

Great atmosphere, brings you back to the stockyard days. The steaks were great and done very well. Bison steak was quite expensive though, at $91 each. Go for the rabbit-rattlesnake sausages. It’s not too gamey and tasty. Sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and put on quite a show with his cocktail mixing. Great times overall.

There is a lot I loved about this place. It is smaller on the inside than I thought it would be, but that was nice. The server we had was outstanding. A manager came by 3 or 4 times during the meal to check on us. Over all great experience.

We both loved our apps. I had rabbit rattlesnake sausage and wife had the hush puppies. The second course chili was very good with just a little kick. The main course was steak for both of us. We both loved how the steak was cooked. But, we felt the steak was over salted. To the point that it was hard to finish.

Honestly, great place and if they had half the salt on the steaks I'd be coming back a bunch. If I do, I might try some of the other great sounding food.

Holy WOW!!! We are from Chicago and love some good food and steak - this place does both better than most I’ve ever had. Garlic Stuffed Tenderloin, sprouts and mushrooms - easily a top ten meal for me - LIFETIME. Do not miss this one if you area. The hosts and servers made my wife and I feel like celebrities with the attention and kindness making the overall experience unforgettable!! Thank you so much for being here for us to enjoy!

We had the most amazing dinner last night. 10 out of 10. Adam our, server, did an outstanding job navigating us through the menu and was always attentive. This is a must try for anyone visiting the Ft. worth Stockyards and we will be back soon. Don't let the exterior of the building fool you, what lies inside is beyond divine. One of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time! One of our top 10 restaurants of all time.

Sean was extremely helpful and made our experience great! Food was delicious, my favorites were the orzo Mac and cheese and the hush puppies! Excellent excellent service and the food was amazing. Will return when I’m back in the area. :)

Wonderful dinner. The burnt carrots were awesome. Elk and lamb both were delicious. The dessert special was also delicious. Highly recommend for special occasion. Great wine list. Oscar was a fine server and took great care to ensure we enjoyed it. Great memories

First Tim Love experience, great spot located in the stockyard area. Small but cozy. Upscale western style food. Oysters were amazing. I had the elk loin 10/10. Juicy, tender, and flavorful. The hen of the woods mushroom was juicy and crispy at the same time. Our server was super knowledgeable and informative. I can’t recall his name but he was a young man with long dark hair. Dined here Monday night. Would recommend and will be dining here again.

Fabulous lunch from Lonesome Dove. Our server Stevhan was amazing. We started with the crudo and the rabbit rattlesnake sausage. Highly recommend both. We got the prime rib sandwich and the frido octopus (noodles). Both were delicious. Lastly the churros were to die for!! The house made sauces especially the raspberry sauce was in my top 5 foods for Fort Worth it was that good. Definitely check out Lonesome Dove, you won’t be disappointed in their great food and awesome service.

My wife and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary here. We had a wonderful server who explained all the menu options and made suggestions. We started with the Fettine Trio. It was very good, but I would skip on future visits. Simply put, it's like lunch meat on a platter and not my style. For the first course, we had the blue crabs & wild boar ribs. The crab cakes with LD hot sauce were very tasty. The boar ribs fell off the bone and were very tender. Both of these dishes were amazing! For our main course, we ordered the tenderloin & waygu strip. Both were delicious cuts of beef. The sides are where the restaurant really shined. The burnt carrots are one of the best side dishes I have ever had. The LD Mac & Cheese was my wife's favorite. It had the perfect amount of truffle flavoring. The other one we had was the crispy Brussels. They were crunchy with large chunks of bacon and excellent seasoning. I want to go back and order all of the sides. Overall amazing experience and some of the best/if not the best food you can eat in Fort Worth.
