The Butcher's Cellar

My husband and I went there yesterday for our early Valentine’s Day dinner since I’d be working the whole weekend. I had the trophy wife drink, the Texas red fish and he had the low mein and the sushi. We also had the wagyu dumplings and frites. From the server to the owner checking on us everything eas perfect. At first, I didn’t like the Texas red fish but I took it home and for some reason it was a hit when shared with my kids and mom. To be honest, I wasn’t that hungry and was more into enjoying my date. The atmosphere is so cozy and relaxing. I’ve been there before with colleagues and had the chicken on a bed of mashed potatoes and it was divine. This is a place you keep returning to because there is so much attention to details and they know how to make you feel special.

My husband and I were in town and decided to try out this place for my 30th birthday. Everything we had was AMAZING! Our waitress was phenomenal and gave us great recommendations and was very knowledge about the menu. She answered all questions throughly and was very kind. They even comped our dessert for my birthday. We have the oysters Rockefeller, steak and Fritas, fillet, ribs ribs and Mac and cheese. Everyone needs to try this place. Atmosphere was great also. Good vibes 🤩 will return.

The Butcher’s Cellar is truly doing special things for the dining scene in Waco. Chefs Alejandro and Alyssa have a dedication to excellence that transcends anything previously seen in this market. The best steaks in the county are simply a starting point or “qualifier.” We could, and have, stuffed ourselves senseless on the appetizer menu alone. No chefs in the area have earned my absolute trust more and with such authority. Don’t hesitate to order anything that remotely piques your interest, it will be delicious and beautiful. No stone left unturned on this menu. Service and atmosphere set a new standard for upscale dining in this area. If you’re visiting from out of town, I implore you not to miss this place, as it represents the future of the bourgeoning culinary scene in the greater Waco area. If you’re a local, make this your special occasion spot. They are going above and beyond the “good for Waco” stamp that gets slapped on popular new restaurants. It’s excellent for ANYWHERE, and that deserves to be recognized and appreciated. It’s a gem, and I’m proud to have it in my own backyard.

Nothing but exceptional! From service, to decor, to beautiful, creative, balanced, delicious dishes, we were very impressed. This restaurant has everything you could want in a fine-dining steak house. The atomosphere is a mix of classy-cozy-vintage-eclectic. Our serve Tyler was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even the restaurant manager Matt came over and made us feel quite welcome. The Butcher’s Cellar is a place we will be returning to. Thank you guys for a wonderful dining experience.

Updated: We've gone several times now and every time it is consistent. Drinks, food, service all amazing. I love the unique menu, the atmosphere is sexy and fun, and the staff is always great. One my favorite places! I can't imagine the pressure this entire team feels with all the build up and excitement of it's opening. It did not disappoint! The atmosphere, design, layout, menu everything has obviously been well planned and thought out. The food and drinks were incredible. I'm so excited to get such an exceptional place in Waco! Our service was off a bit, It took quite a while to get our drinks, apps and our sides came about 5 min after our mains. I'm looking forward to my next visit and having a 5 star experience.

We ordered the 1000 layer potato, wagyu dumplings, truffle fries, Brussels sprouts, along with the Red Fish and Aged Pork Chops. Of the appetizers the wagyu dumplings and fries were my favorite. The sauce for the layer potatoes needed my salt in my opinion but outside of that everything else was phenomenal. The Red Fish’s white wine butter sauce was divine and I highly recommend this if you like seafood! Excellent service and beautiful decor and atmosphere.

Had dinner tonight with a great experience. Every detail has been well thought out down to the ice cubes. Ordered the Dino rib, lobster ravioli and half chicken. Everything was delicious and the service was perfect. Will be back!
