Love Shack So7
Saturday night we all went to Tim Love’s new Love Shack location in the really difficult to find So7 development. What’s familiar about it? A really, really delicious Love Burger and onion rings. What’s different? Well, almost everything else. The overall feeling of this Love Shack is more contemporary and trendy. There was a dj, a couple of dancing girls drunkenly celebrating a birthday, and not a cowboy in sight. (Hey, it’s still Cowtown!) Outside on the patio was a game area with a beanbag toss and something involving washers. Oh, and I heard Lady GaGa. All of these things added up to a very different experience than the one at the original Stockyards location. It wasn’t bad, just different.
In fact in some ways, it could be considered better. It feels like there’s a lot more seating, which was nice because they were really busy. Also, there’s an indoor sitting area that’s open air but still covered enough from the elements so you could enjoy a Love Burger in the rain! Additionally, they have a full bar featuring a mixed drink menu that’s pretty novel. I sipped on a jalapeno cucumber margarita that was refreshing and yet really had some heat to it. Very different, but maybe a little pricey because of its small size. (That glass is shorter than it looks.)
Speaking of small sizes, we were a little confused by the potions of fries and onions, which were about half of what we usually get at the original Love Shack. We’ll have to go back; maybe it was just an off night for potion control.
Finally (and this difference between the two locations might be the most crucial), they have an expanded menu. Different sides, a lobster roll, a salad of the day–you won’t find these sissier options on the old Love Shack menu. However, when you love the original Love Burger as much as we do, there’s not a big incentive to stray. Oh! And there’s one more major plus about this location. They accept credit cards! Cha-ching!
