Welcome to Tim Love’s homage to all things grilled, roasted, and slow-cooked.
The Woodshed Smokehouse stands as a beacon of culinary innovation and homage to the primal allure of fire-cooked foods, nestled on the scenic banks of the Trinity River. Helmed by celebrated local chef-owner Tim Love, it marks his foray into a realm where the rustic charm of Texas barbecue meets a global tapestry of flavors.
At The Woodshed, every visit is a journey through a meticulously curated menu that rotates daily, showcasing the finest cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and wild game, alongside the freshest fish and a bounty of vegetables—all infused with the distinct aromas of various woods and fire sources.
This is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience where traditional pit-smoked meats blend seamlessly with innovative dishes like 16-hour smoked beef shin, and where every bite tells a story of craftsmanship and passion.
The Woodshed's inviting atmosphere, from its casual bar and dining room with roll-up garage-door walls to the twinkling lights of its courtyard, offers the perfect backdrop for unforgettable meals. Here, the spirit of community thrives, welcoming not just guests but their four-legged companions to enjoy a feast in the heart of nature.
With Chef Love at the helm, The Woodshed Smokehouse is not just dining; it's a celebration of love, laughter, and the eternal bond between food, fire, and friendship.
