(From May 2012)
Tim Love has hit another home run in casual dining. His indoor-outdoor eatery Woodshed recently opened in the TCU-Forest Park area, with piles of wood to keep the stoves, smokers, and heaters stoked and plenty of wine and beer on tap. Crowds come to partake of a variety of meats and sides, lounge under the native trees on the banks of the Trinity River, and be serenaded by live music and birdcall. We dug in to a smoked whitefish dip with house-made tortilla chips, then went for "Today's Animal": succulent chunks of lamb topped with cracklins, ready to pile onto corn tortillas with a fiery hot salsa and queso crumbles. Pork ribs arrives as an irressitable smoky slab yet to be seperated along with some super-seasoned warm potato chips. Servers are very well trained and plentiful. Beer & wine.
