Woodshed Smokehouse

Fort Worth


In this hugely successful Trinity River joint, Texas celebrity chef Tim Love serves up gourmet barbecue and more besides, including deep dark bowls of ramen broth. Thanks to the breezy riverside setting and eco-friendly design, there’s no need for air-conditioning. Enjoy live bluegrass on the vast terrace Wednesday to Sunday.

There's a 'Dining with Friends' menu if you're coming with a group of meat-lovers and are ready for some big platters.
