Had such a wonderful evening and meal at dai due! Just wow! The pork chops, greens, and bok Choy were delicious! It was one of our first stops in Austin. I don't eat meat on the bone and I chowed down on the pork chop bone. It tasted like candy. Charlotte and Stephanie were FABULOUS! Great service and they felt like old friends instantly. Must go! read more

Dai Due is a one-of-a-kind restaurant. With meat selections representing both the invasive and exotic game available in Texas and elsewhere, you can't go wrong. The owner has made it a mission to make any meat good no matter the preparation and cooking needed. The setting is candle lit and cozy. It's definitely a smaller restaurant and you will spend more money than you would going to a chain steakhouse. But, it's a great experience and everything there is delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Food is great quality, they use tallow instead of seed oils. Great place. Will definitely come back. read more

Dai Due - Pancake, biscuits and gravy and fries rice. Biscuits and gravy was definitely the favorite. - Butcher Near Me - Austin, Texas

We've been coming to Dai Due steadily for years now, and it's easily our favorite spot in town. Although 90% of our visits are for the weekend brunch, the week-day dinners are always a hit as well (the fish and chips are the best in town). As for brunch, it's hard not to order the CenTex Breakfast, as it's like a bear hug for your soul. Between the biscuit, grits, sausage, eggs, potatoes, and assortment of jams / butters / beet ketchup, every bite is better than the last. On top of all this, the entire staff makes it feel like you're welcomed, accepted, and valued. We can't speak highly enough of the people, menu, ambiance, and attention to detail. These folks take pride in what they do and it shows. Cheers to the whole gang. read more

Amazing spot. I had waiting years to try and this establishment did not disappoint. Deer tartare was simply the best thing I've ever had. I'll be back here for the other menu items. read more

Dai Due - DAI DUE - Butcher Near Me - Austin, Texas

Consistency is every restaurants goal I would imagine. I mean, it doesn't matter which Chuy's we hit up when we have a craving, we can always count on the same experience. (Yeah I know Chuy's haters, we like it so whatever) I would call us somewhat regulars at DD. Usually sit at the little bar for noshing, champers and wine. Or pop by to pick up the meat. However, I will admit, our last visit was a wee bit of a disappointment. It's not inexpensive to eat here, so when the level of cost is raised on items which generally are fairly simple and inexpensive elsewhere, I guess one would would expect a nice twist or at least the common item prepared correctly. For example, on our last stop with 5 friends on Saturday 12.22, was one of those experiences. I ordered the Venison Biscuits/Gravy with an egg as did one of my guests. I was remembering a wonderful B/G there in the past. For a small reference point, IHOP has two eggs, 4 pork links, biscuit/gravy and hash browns for $8.95, Jim's two biscuits, gravy and diced sausage $3.59. Obviously the Venison 3oz patty is not served with these examples, so that would fetch a premium. In this case $15 an entree for our brekkies. Here is the conundrum. The biscuits we had, well, no bueno. I don't know if they didn't keep the butter/flour cold prior to preparing? Was buttermilk used? Did they over work the dough? Or perhaps the oven wasn't hot enough to facilitate rising? Whatever the process, the biscuits were hard and tough. When Charlotte came by once everyone was done to pick up the plates, I noticed my guest had taken a few bites of her plate, ate the patty and some gravy, left almost all of her biscuits. I only managed to eat one of the biscuits. I mentioned to our server that the biscuits were definitely off this time around. She did reply politely, we have a new gal preparing them so she would mention this to her. Although my guest agreed that her biscuits were flat and tough, we had also ordered all four of the pastries to share with the table, which were very tasty. In addition, there were compliments from the our friends regarding the Lettuce Wraps, Dai Due Breakfast, Pastrami Sammy and the Tamales which were excellent and different since I snagged a bite to try myself. We enjoyed our several mimosa's, wines and beers outside on the patio. Charlotte was helpful, informative and provided us with good service. Not an unexpected $276.04 tab for 6 diners and one libation only friend. I provided a $58 tip to the tab. I did appreciate that there was no gratuity added, best way ever to have me only tip what you think you are worth. Here is the rub. DD has great ambiance, solid service and new/different takes on traditional dishes. Like the tamales I sampled. However, if you cannot prepare a simple biscuit, like you had in the past, but charge a premium price for it...at least provide an alternative menu item or perhaps take one of the entree's off the bill entirely when you notice that the same entree was hardly touched and the other nibbled on. Perhaps there was a sense that I wanted something for nothing by pointing out the fail towards the end of our meal? I don't know. Maybe I should of flagged down Charlotte earlier? I would imagine that ordering 7 mimosa's and all the pastries as an prelude to our entree's, one might think that I was there to enjoy our day, our guests from Toronto/Georgia and not be minding my wallet. Kind of a bummer really. read more

Cute patio out back, friendly service, heaters for the winter, and dog-friendly. We went for the chicken, but they were out by 7pm...my backup was the boar burger, but it wasn't on the menu. I went with a waygu burger, which was good, and I thought the bun was well-chosen for this. My wife's salad was good too, and we both enjoyed the chicken pate as well as the sourdough bread we ordered which was our favorite thing. We'll be back to try the things missed and the Antelope...then perhaps we'll max the rating. read more

such a great experience here! the meat was SO fresh and delicious, I am absolutely coming back here soon! we started with the antelope ceviche- sounds interesting, but trust me, it's amazing! the strawberries were a great touch! then we got the wagyu (medium rare) with mashed potatoes and the mixed greens! BEST WAGYU IVE HAD THUS FAR. cooked to perfection and so insanely flavorful. the potatoes and greens were also delicious and a perfect combination of sides for the entree! this fee two people so be sure to share if you've got interest in these items! the inside was adorable to, a row of booths, a row of two person tables, and then a row of bar seating as well as an outdoor area! the parking might be a bit tricky, there's a small single row lot outside the building as well as maybe 15 more spots in the back! I just waiting until someone left in the back lot & that couldn't have been more than 10 mins! again, I can't wait to come back, this was such an amazing experience and the food was amazing. this might be added to my top 10 places in austin now! read more

Dai Due - wagyu - Butcher Near Me - Austin, Texas

Staying nearby, we decided to walk over to check out the menu as we heard it is hit or miss, but OMG this is definitely a winnar winnar venison dinner or brunch haha. If entering from the street you are greeted with the butcher/deli/pastry sales but if you want to dine, continue walking towards the back towards the hostess. We were lucky to beat the rush as our arrival time was close to opening, and seated quickly. This place is a cute restaurant for couples or small groups but from what I could tell they only had one really large booth for larger parties. I liked the blue and wood theme throughout the restaurant and the natural lighting and the cute decorations of dried herbs and flower arrangements on each table. P(B)iscuits and Gravy with Chicken Fried Elk (5/5) OMG this was so freaking good, first off I love chicken fried chicken so in Elk form I had to try! I would say definitely more gamey but I like gamey, perfectly battered and fried, and a bit on the thinner side, but that just means I get to chew less...I love how it was paired with 2 biscuits, as they were top notch, the outside was super crispy but when you bit in it was nice and flaky and buttery just how it should be! The only thing I would do next time is to ask for EXTRA gravy but it was finger licking good and I didn't have enough. McGroover toasted pancake sandwich with venison breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese and cane syrup (3.5/5) The best way to describe this is a super fancy McGriddle... I was actually not a super big fan of the pancake as I guess I was too enthralled with the piscuit and gravy that it got kinda cold and was a bit on the chewier side more like a hamburger bun, but I really liked how they did their egg, as it was super puffy and thick but still airy with a nice crispy edge around it, yums! The Venison breakfast sausage was definitely more gamy and lean but seasoned well and paired well with the cane syrup, this stuff was super sweet so you really didn't have to use a lot. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my brunch experience as I love the concept of local, sustainable, farm to table food, and just how delicious they make it! I can't wait to try more of their foods, and will definitely be back to hopefully try one of their rotating themed menus/tastings! OH, and next time I will be sure to ask for extra gravy! read more

The ceviche was very fresh and interesting. Not sure what classifies it as ceviche since it's comprised of deer meat, apples and sweet potato. We had the wild boar confit and the quail dish and the baked fig for dessert. The wild boar confit was very well done, meat was very tender and the sauce complemented the meat very well. Quail was also very tender and the sauce had a lot of ingredients that are unusual. I would pick the quail over the boar just bc of the complex flavor profile. Fig dessert was recommended but I felt like it was nothing special. Overall, a pretty solid meal. read more

All Texas made everything. What else can you ask for. Food was great service was outstanding. Parking is limited but that's due to the area. Try the pork chops read more

A lot of different unique platters to choose from with high quality ingredients. Great vibe and service as well. I had the antelope lettuce wraps and it was very good. read more

Dai Due is a wonderful place to go to get a taste of central Texas. If you are more of a cocktail drinker, this place serves mainly beer and wine. The service was wonderful. The strawberry butter was good, but it lacked the punch I was hoping for - so it was the most disappointing dish. The tomato salad with venison was my favorite however - the tomatoes are marinated so well! read more

Dai Due's restaurant entrance is at the back, while the front leads you into the butcher shop. We get seated upon arrival of our reservation time. It probably took a good 25 minutes before our waitress finally came and greeted us. When she arrived, she informed us how to read the menu... which was already easy to read. The food menu is on one side with the back menu of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Our waitress enlightened us about Texas beers and wine they carried. The menu is pretty limited, based on seasonal ingredients. Therefore, keep in mind the menu changes. Dai Due will cut to order and adjust the prices reasonably. My friend ordered the 12 oz. 28 (or 32, cannot recall) day aged steak (5/5), and that was one of the best steaks I have tried in my life. Such flavor and texture... I probably ate 3 bites of my friend's before I decided to try my "small" 12 oz. pork neck chop (2/5). My first bite of the pork was simple and tasty, no sauce and sides were needed. After the first 2 bites of my pork, I was cutting each section, trying to avoid fat. Apparently, pork neck chop usually has that much fat according to the manager. It may be your cup of tea but wasn't mine. Daily Specials: **Tuesday=Ladies Steak Night, 6 oz cuts, $10 each a la carte. **Wednesdays=Crawfish Night **Thursdays=Grilled chicken and various sides on the Supper Club menu **Fridays=Seafood Night **Saturday=Supper Club is an impressive mixed grill **Sunday=Fried chicken Night My back was to the kitchen, but you can see the chefs brewing up meals! Place is tiny and can get packed, so I recommend reservations for weekends just to be safe. Due to its size, I don't like how the center tables are an arm away from the next table. One of those "yep, you're in my bubble." This place is not great for large tables, probably 4 to a group or under is ideal. Service was decent. It greatly improved from the wait we had in the beginning. Definitely try this place in Eastside. I liked the look and homey feel of this place. Would I come back? If I'm in the mood to eat some meat and just to try the supper club pre fixe menu for $33. read more

Loved the experience at Dai Due, all the dishes were unique and delicious. The patio out back is really nice as well, just a few tables and some lights make it an intimate setting. They have great heaters too for those cold nights! Definitely the best meat board I've ever had! I recommend getting the antelope lettuce wraps too- they were so bomb! read more

People, this place is stellar! Some of the freshest and tastiest food on the East side and in Austin period. During ACL, I saw Childish Gambino here! If he's showing up, you know word is getting around that this place is killer. They have a butcher shop up front and a legit southern kitchen in the back. As soon as you walk in you can smell the open fire grill roasting up some deliciousness in the back. They've also got a super cool patio in the back where you can enjoy your food and some beer or wine from their selection! They've got some really great stuff on the menu, especially the fresh cuts from the butcher shop, like their MASSIVE bone in pork chop. They've also been voted the best burger in Austin! I'll recommend Dai Due any day to someone looking for food on the East Side. read more

A farm to table very strictly adhered to with features rotating based on season and availability. Fame stemming from Meat Eaters series. Chef kills what he serves frequently. Really enjoyed the Wild Boar sausage. They do not substitute, so no squeamish eaters will be accommodated. Service was first class, reservations a MUST, very lucky to even get in. Building has tremendous history. read more

Dai Due - Butcher Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is the best meal I've had in Austin, the best pork chop I've ever had (was perfectly cooked), and can say it's the best antelope I've ever had, too, because it's the first time I've ever had antelope. We went for my in-laws 60th birthday and it definitely felt like a special, special occasion. The restaurant lived up to the hype and the best part is it's equally casual and approachable as it is elegant. read more

I had heard this restaurant was good but it wasn't until I was watching Meateater with my boyfriend that we decided we had to try this place. If you guys haven't seen that show, it has 2 episodes that take place in South Texas and the chef from this restaurant is featured. We had the wagyu hand pie, niglai sausage, wild boar lettuce wraps, and a salad and everything was great! Can't pick a favorite they were all delicious. And then a butterscotch pudding with pecans really sealed the deal. There were lots of things we wanted to try so I guess we'll be back! read more

10/10 all around! If you are conscious about what you put in your body, this restaurant is for you!

After hearing about this place on the Joe Rogan podcast I was excited to be in town and get to try it. This place is amazing the service was great and the array of different food and flavors was out of control. Every bite add a different flavor compound. You definitely won't be disappointed to eat here!! read more

Dai Due - Appetizers in the main course - Butcher Near Me - Austin, Texas

One of my favorite places, maybe because the atmosphere is so inviting and also since it is the embodiment of everything that I feel "Texas" stands for in some ways. Fresh butchered meat on one side, a supper club on the other. This is the real deal in regards to farm to table, the menu changes daily so you're never going to be eating the same thing and that's fantastic. I brought my mother here for her birthday after I had such a good experience for my own birthday and she's super picky. Everytime she tends to eat somewhere they add so much sodium in their food that she ends up swelling up the next day. With Dai Due I remember that this wasn't the case for her and she enjoyed the chicken we ordered and the availability of fresh vegetables to her disposal! My girlfriends and I came tonight and it was awesome. We had several items from the happy hour menu, I love empanadas and theirs is super flavorful and you can kind of taste the "gameyness" of the meat inside. The meat board had a lot of good cuts and the oyster salad was also flavorful. My favorite dish tonight was probably the chicken pate (I'm obsessed with Pate),but this ones the best I've tried in town so far! That wagyu burger with sweet potato fries is totally worth trying, it's only served on Tuesdays and I believe Thursdays and that's also when they are doing happy hours from 5-6:30. The pork chop is also wonderful it does have a lot of fatty portions to it but isn't oily or greasy. It seems to have a really nice dry rub. I thoroughly enjoy this place and highly recommend it for the adventurous people in your life! read more

Came here for brunch , totally impressed food was amazing the tangerine mimosas were spot on! Took home some rillettes and sausage can't wait to come back! read more

Dai Due is probably my favorite American style restaurant in Austin. Service and food are always top notch and if we want to go out somewhere where we know it will be good then we often settle on Dai Due. We have visited multiple times prior to covid and once post. Normally we do the supper club which was not an option in our last visit. If the supper club is an option then that is the best thing to get to really get a full experience. In our non supper club visit we started with the empanada and the sourdough bread. Bread is a must! The butter with it is always rotating with new flavors that you wouldn't expect to work, but they do. Empanada turned out good but can't remember the specifics other than it had crawfish. I went with the pork chop for my entree and they warn it can take a bit longer than other dishes but it was worth it. Hopefully post covid they will bring back supper club since that is really what makes it stand above other places in Austin that we have visited. read more

Went with a party of six today for brunch. Had very attentive service and enjoyed our meal. We had the meat board, chicken hearts, burgers, pastrami sandwich, pancake, biscuit and gravy, kolache, and an order of toast. Rating it a 4 in that the pancake was heavy and lacked flavor without the toppings. It wasn't ate. The toast was heavy and wasn't ate. The kolache was dry. Highly recommend ordering the meat dishes. read more

We went for a late lunch, around 2pm. The ambiance was great, the restaurant is styled very nicely. We got the pancake, the wild meat sandwich, the biscuits and gravy, grits, cheeseburger, chicken salad, chicken hearts and the Texas cheese board. Everything was delicious. We didn't have a single complaint and can't wait to try dinner. The wait staff was incredibly nice and helpful. We will be back! read more

We tried this place as a group last night and it was one of the best overall meals I've had in Austin. We went family-style; perfect for getting a good feel for a place! The dishes we had that were incredible - the green chile pork flautas, the lions mane mushrooms, the ribeye, and the medium porkchop. Emphasis on the ribeye - truly, I don't know that I've had a better steak anywhere in town. Other dishes that were really, really good - the wild boar confit, the meat & cheese plate, the stuffed quail. Will definitely be back! read more

There is some excellent stuff here. Ok, there is a *lot* of excellent stuff here. But, to _really_ get a handle of the place, go w/ the meats, in all the varieties that you can get them. They'll be camouflaged, sometimes openly so - the pastrami in the pastrami sandwich (ok, it's a reuben. whatever) seems like it is getting overwhelmed by the smoked bread, but a few bites in you realize that *it* is the true star of the show. Likewise with the "cured meats platter", buried wherein you'll find "pickled sausage". What? Yup, "pickled sausage", which miraculously combines two awesome flavors into one magnificent whole. Let the waiters lead you to the promised land, and enjoy the journey ;-) read more

I had heard about this place so I went there for lunch when I was in Austin on business. The dining room was closed but I had a loaf of bread in my rental car so I got half a pound of wild boar summer sausage, half a pound of nilgai salame cotto, and a bottle of Texas olive oil from the deli counter. I ate in my car in the parking lot next door, and I saw the face of God with the first bite. A couple of nights later, I went back and had the nilgai filet and a bottle of tempranillo for dinner. Same thing. Ambiance and service are equal to the food, so yeah, I'll go back. read more

The elk and pork chop we're both pretty great. Their service was on point! BUT pretty small portions for pretty big prices...be prepared for that. Happy hour has some great wine prices but only a few appetizer options. Meat heavy menu, had to pay $8 for a side to go with my $22 4 oz of meat... But hey, ya gotta splurge on yourself every once in awhile! I do wanna try their brunch. read more

Really enjoyed the wagyu burger ! Great ambiance and service. Definitely place reservations early

Fantastic farm to table restaurant! I recently dined at Dai Due with one purpose - to try the hamburger. I've read it is one of the best in Austin, so I wanted to see for myself. Without a doubt, it is one of the best. The meat is so good on its own - smoky and flavorful - but is made even better with the sauce and fresh onions. The bun is perfectly fluffy too to contain all of the decadence without getting soggy. It wasn't just the burger that was great though. I took my six-year-old son with me on this dining adventure for brunch and we sat outside. The tables are very well distanced (there aren't too many tables to begin with anyway) and the staff all work masks, so I felt very safe. Back to the food - the burger comes with fries that were perfectly seasoned and crispy. My son and I both loved them. I ordered the pancakes and bacon for my son, which he liked. I ended up eating several bites of his pancakes too. They are sourdough and topped with apple syrup and some sort of fluffy cheddar cheese, which made for a great combination that wasn't overly sweet (which I prefer). I also ordered a kolache to go. I can't remember what exactly was in it, but it tasted great. The filling to pastry ratio was spot on. I also ordered a sourdough bread boule to go, which was gorgeous. My husband has loved using it for making sandwiches at home this week. All in all, while I highly recommend visiting Dai Due for the burger, check out some of the other items too, especially the baked goods. So many dishes looked great on the menu, so I'll definitely be back. read more
