Tim Love has knocked it out of the park with this charming gourmet smokehouse which coincidentally is situated right in lovely Levy Park. Standouts are the beef ribs and Brussels sprouts. Huge beer selection of craft brews. Highly recommended.

The brisket was dry and not warm, the lamb brisket was fatty but served warm at least. Great place to have a beer in Levy Park local environment. The service person was very pleasant. The nachos were… underwhelming, similar to baseball nachos with stale chips with queso poured over the mound of chips. All this was generally disappointing especially in light of great experience at Ft Worth Woodshed.

Waitress was very nice, but very slow. None of the other employees checked on any of the tables despite seeming to have plenty of time to do so. Diner at another table waited for their server and eventually had to get up and flag someone down in order to get a spoon. We had nachos with pulled pork and a brisket banh mi. Everything was cooked nicely. However the meat really lacked in seasoning. The pork was very tender, but the only flavor was a slight vinegar taste. I re-heated the leftovers in a skillet and just adding some kosher salt made a huge improvement in the flavor. The brisket was in a sandwich, so not the same as eating it by itself. But, if it's the same they use in their other dishes, I would say it also needs seasoning. Didn't seem like any rub was used on it at all. The banh mi was well assembled with good bread and ingredients. Nachos needed some jalapeños. I like the indoor/outdoor vibe and would be open to going back just because of that.

We sat for a half hour before anyone served us. A female server walked by us numerous times and ignored us. Finally, the host took good care of us. Guess it’s hard to find servers.

Our service here was extremely BAD and the worst we’ve ever had. Not an exaggeration. This was a highly unfortunate situation for the restaurant because nothing else was really wrong and the location is prime. We had to get out of our seat to approach the waiter multiple times in order to get service in a dining space with less than 25% capacity. Ordered a cocktail and never received it but it still wound up on the check. The waiter brought the cocktail over after we asked 3 times for it throughout the dining experience and it arrived after the check came…? Craziest thing I’ve ever experienced LOL.

First time visiting for our anniversary. Our server/bartender, Jordan, was very accommodating and engaging. Helped us guide through the menu and recommended some options. We loved the cute patio over looking the park and the playlist that was playing. Can’t wait to go back and try more of their plates 😋

We love coming to the woodshed and hanging out at the park. We had a great waitress but the service was slow. They don’t seems to have enough people working to meet the demand. Buy in any event. We enjoyed it. The food is good, not great. But that’s not why we go there. Lol

Vibrant and beautiful location. Arrived a few minutes before reservation and was promptly seated. Table on the inside close to waitstaff. One our drink orders were in it took forever for the staff to return and take appetizer order. Waitress recommended get our entire order in but said she would time it out so we were not rushed. Took about 30 minutes before we got refilled on ice tea and the our food was dropped off.....all of our food not just appetizer. Beer cheese was cold and curdled, piquillo stuffed peppers in bone broth cold, one item missing, no refills on drink. To top it out fr, the waitress just dropped it on the side of the table and started talking to another table instead of handing us out food. The manager passed by, Mr Seth, and we told him the fondue was cold, he only said “oh” and walked away. There was no apology, no check in after from the waitress, and no bringing us the missing items. We had tried numerous time to get waitstaff or manager attention but they seemed to be confused and lost in their own restaurant. We ended up having to wait even longer for the check but honestly we could have walked out and the manager, waitress, and other staff standing around would never have noticed. I’ve been to other TLove locations and have always been pleased. This was a disaster from start to finish. Bed food, bad service, horrible management, and non existent customer service. Left such a bad impression I’m gonna have to be talked into giving them a second chance. We ended up at Goode Company BBQ to make up for EVERYTHING that this restaurant did wrong!
