Tim Love's Love Shack is coming to Victory Park

Chef-entrepreneur Tim Love, who owns Lonesome Dove and Duce in Fort Worth, has been thinking about opening a Dallas outlet of his popular Stockyards burger joint, Love Shack, for about a year now. It would be Tim's first venture into Dallas, which he claimed made him a bit nervous even to think about.

But we had no doubts he would do it eventually. And though it took a couple of weeks for us to get clued in (Tim! You could have called, dude!), we now know that Love Shack will open in Victory Park, with a target date of April 1st.

It'll be larger than the original and, unlike the Stockyards' Shack, all the seating won't be open-air (although Shack diners now can get their burgers served next door, in the smoky bar atmosphere of the White Elephant Saloon). Victory Park's Love Shack will have a glassed-in dining room as well as outdoor seating.

As usual for Dallas, it looks to be quite a bit more spiffy and less scruffy than the original. However, as long as Tim's scrumptious burgers and shakes don't change, and the prices don't become too Victory Park, we will be there.

UPDATE: Tim Love just called to clarify the details on the Dallas outpost of Love Shack. He says its glassed-in area will contain the kitchen, storage areas and ordering counter only.

The Victory Park dining area still will be all outdoor seating and will feature live music. It'll have 1,500 square feet of covered space, though (unlike the FW original) dining will all be on one level.

But "it's still a walk-up burger shack," Tim says. "And the prices will be Fort Worth, not Dallas."

Tim, my brother, are you going to serve beer and wine ?

JT, chef Love has an answer for you:

We will have 15 wines BTG and of course VERY ice cold beer! We will have a wine list with about 50 wines by the bottle. And of course we will have root beer on tap for those who choose not to indulge. John, is there something in particular you would like to see on the list?

Very exciting! Where exactly is the Shack going to be located?

Jason: Tim Love told me he is still working out details of the Victory Park outpost. So the exact location of Dallas' Love Shack will be revealed once everything is nailed down to his satisfaction.
