(From June 2008) Wall-to-wall TVs ensure you won’t miss a single sporting event, and patio seating is available for those who like to people-watch. Yes, they have wings (bone in or bone out), as well as “frings” (fried onion strings) and hand-cut fries. For the heartier appetite, there’s a vegetable panini with roasted onions, squash, peppers, and mushrooms and a massive half-pound burger complete with bacon and blue cheese crumbles. Bar. |

(From August 2009) The nicely seasoned half pound of meat is smothered with a pile of blue cheese and a tangle of bacon. A goodly spread of chipotle mayo bridges the flavors, and fresh toppings seal the deal. The fries are fresh-cut and sprinkled with sea salt, and that just never, ever gets old. The high-ceilinged cafe and beer bar is named after Leo “Dutch” Meyer, a TCU grad who became the most successful football coach in Horned Frog history. |

(From August 2009) Half a pound of ground beef is grilled and topped with taste bud–searing chipotles, heaped with Swiss cheese, and crowned with onion, pickles, tomato, lettuce, and mustard. The spicy elements play off perfectly against the cool and leafy ones; melted cheese provides the glue that holds it all together. Note: Don’t even think about wedging yourself into this popular, boisterous cafe and bar at rush hour. |

(From December 2009) West Fort Worth welcomes Tim Love’s second location, serving up those already famous hot dogs and burgers, as well as a few new items, like a lobster roll. For the burgers, the meat is half tenderloin, half brisket, and all ground fresh daily. Try the Dirty Love: lettuce, tomato, pickles, American cheese, bacon, a fried quail egg, and Love Sauce. Limited indoor seating is available, but the patio is your best bet, with its stage for live music and people-watching. Bar. |

(From August 2009) Lest you forget that a burger is above all a beef product, there’s the Dirty Love Burger at the Love Shack, a weathered open-air music and people-watching venue located in the Fort Worth Stockyards. Only in Texas would anyone grind together tenderloin and brisket, but the blend yields such an excellent ratio of fat to lean that it will gladden your taste buds. The whole barnyard participates in this mouth-pleaser: It not only comes with crispy applewood-smoked bacon but also a fried quail egg clinging to the patty. The tangy, house-made Love Sauce fuses the whole thing into a glorious mess you won’t soon forget. |
