For dessert she had the crem Brule and I had the key lime cheesecake. All simply amazing! I also can not praise our server, Robert, enough. He was funny, witty, friendly and knew the menu inside and out. Was able to describe each dishes flavor profile and was spot on with everything he said. He made the experience a, well, experience! Have already decided we are going there for every occasion. Valentines day, birth days, laundry night, trash day… any time I have a reason!
We chose Butcher’s Cellar for our 18th anniversary. It was our first visit, and the staff knew we were celebrating. Unfortunately, the experience did not match the occasion — or the price.
We dined on a Saturday night. The atmosphere was nice enough, but the service felt inattentive and disorganized. We waited over an hour for our food, while tables seated after us were served before we were. No one proactively explained the delay or checked in with us.
When the food finally arrived, both steaks were overcooked.
I ordered the $75 ribeye medium rare. It came out overdone. I sent it back, and instead of properly correcting it, it was clearly pressed on the grill to speed things up. The replacement came back uneven — half medium rare, half medium well. For a $75 steak at a supposed high-end steakhouse, that’s unacceptable and slopy.
My husband ordered the $48 Wagyu with $8 shrimp. The shrimp was actually the best part of the entire meal. The Wagyu itself was tough — which defeats the entire point of ordering Wagyu in the first place.
The $10 corn ribs were bland and cold. The baked mac and cheese ($12) felt thrown together with a lack of care. The $17 1000-layer potatoes were decent, but not memorable.
After tax, we spent $184. For that price, you expect attention to detail, quality control, and service that feels intentional — especially on a milestone anniversary.
There was no visit from management, no meaningful acknowledgment of the issues, and no real attempt to make the experience right.
We left disappointed and unlikely to return.
I ordered the 16oz strip steak, medium rare, and it was perfection: juicy, tender, and cooked with precision. The Brussels sprouts were simply to die for—crisp, flavorful, and easily some of the best I’ve ever had. To top it off, I paired the meal with a Pinot Noir Juggernaut, which balanced everything beautifully and made the experience even more memorable.
What made the evening truly exceptional was the service. Our server, Jennifer, was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, incredibly knowledgeable, and such a joy to chat with. She elevated the whole evening with her warmth and professionalism.
It’s rare to find a place that gets everything right food, service, wine, and atmosphere but Butcher’s Cellar exceeded every expectation. Without a doubt, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in recent memory, and I’m already excited to go back.
Every single bite was pure culinary perfection. The food here was unbelievably impeccable — the flavors, the fusion, the textures — unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. And I’ve eaten all around the world: fine dining, Michelin-level spots, and every top-rated steakhouse in Dallas. None of them come close to what’s happening right here in Waco.
The Brussels sprouts? I could’ve eaten them as a main course — crisp, savory, and bursting with depth. The layered potato was a total masterpiece — crunchy yet soft, subtle yet powerful, the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-bite just to marvel at it.
Every piece of sushi was flawless: fresh, beautifully cut, perfectly seasoned, and layered with care. The steak — tender, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth perfection — cooked to absolute precision, and that roasted garlic on the side? Genius. It elevated the entire experience.
And believe it or not, the baby gem salad might just steal the show. One of the best salads I’ve ever had — light, crisp, full of flavor, with a dressing that’s unlike anything I’ve ever tasted.
Even the cocktails were next-level — the apple old-fashioned in particular was divine. Every sip, every dish felt intentional, refined, and crafted by someone who truly understands flavor and balance.
I honestly wish I could’ve ordered the entire menu — because after this experience, I’m convinced you simply can’t go wrong here. This place isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a revelation.
Service did feel a little too laid back for an establishment like this. I believe my servers name was April. She was sweet and kind but needs to be brushed up on fine dining edict.
The wine we had was amazing, and our group truly enjoyed everything about this place.
