Horrible, traumatizing and triggering experience. I complained a lot, loudly and firmly about it, the owner refunded me which made me glad as it was bad, really bad. Thanks to this experience I will no longer dine out in Austin Texas. I will carefully source all my foods and cook everything myself. Thank you for reimbursing me. Dea read more

Color me confused. I've been fortunate enough to visit a few times with friends and our conclusion is this place isn't living up to its potential. Some of the positives: the restaurant and kitchen are gorgeous, they source everything locally and change up their menu frequently, and some of their deserts have been exceptional (namely the lime ice cream, pecan ice cream from last night, and pound cake from a few weeks ago). Unfortunately, 80% of the dishes we shared on both visits missed their mark. The 20% that hit were fantastic (mostly deserts, and fried chicken when not overcooked), but when you factor in price and forced smiles from waitstaff I see no reason to give this place more than 2 stars. Fingers crossed that they figure things out because Austin needs more restaurants like this! read more

Best in Austin? Sorry to hear that, Austin, other places must suck to high heaven. This was THE WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE I've had in decades. Anywhere in the world. Seriously. I'd rate the mostly mediocre food three stars, maybe. But the service should get about a negative ten. Just awful in so many ways. The pork chop I had was overly brined: too sweet, too salty; cooked nicely, though. The sides were sub-par, and the "South Texas Salad" or whatever it was called was ridiculous. Not flavorful and was a total nothing. I won't get into the service details. Nasty, rude and patronizing. Must be a generational thing 'cause I'm seeing this in a lot of places around the country. I've heard the owner is new at running an actual restaurant. Jesus H. Christ, it shows. How Austin's "critics" can rate this place so highly is beyond me. Never again. read more

I went. I spent $120 including tip. Food was good. Had many different dishes. My only take away is this: Hostess that took my name and ultimately sat us was a stone cold See You Next Tuesday. Not one one smile. ZERO graciousness. We sat at the bar. Not one smile. It was like I was there doing them a favor and spending my money. I guess the staff is a dead on reflection of the ownership.

Excellent food and excellent service. I reserved a large table for a business meeting with many of my leaders, everyone was impressed and raved about the whole experience. Will definitely be back. read more

A friend of mine had celebrated her 30th birthday several time zones away, so when she came to visit, my wife and I took her to a Dai Due supper for a belated birthday treat. It was a huge hit. You sit at loooooong tables outdoors and the food is served family style. It's a great idea, as it forces you to make conversation with the folks you are breaking bread with. We were fortunate to be flanked by nice people in all directions. It's BYOB, so we brought a bottle of nice champagne and a 12 pack of Miller High Life, the champagne of beers. Don't judge, it went really well with the food and the warm night. Dinner was amazing, and I got an opportunity to try some things I might not find anywhere else. Frog's legs and pigeon, for example. The entire meal was locally sourced, and therefore in season, which added to the deliciousness of it. I'd highly recommend it. It's an opportunity to have a gourmet meal at a fairly reasonable price. read more

The idea that this restaurant could have anything short of 5 stars overall is completely beyond my capacity to understand. I just ate their pastrami sandwich and seriously, no lie, no exaggeration, it was the best thing I have ever put into my mouth. I have lived around the world, I am a foodie, I used to be a cook in a restaurant, I'm an avid cook at home. I have eaten in slums and have eaten in some of the finest restaurants where you can easily spend 500 dollars on dinner. The pastrami sandwich I just ate was the best thing I have had. read more

I was very excited to try Dai Due, but was disappointed with my experience. Glow: -My server. She deserves 4 stars! -The rosemary and lime soda -The meat plate - Build out Opportunities: - Our quail came out 3/4 raw and we had to send it back to the kitchen (I've never done this before) - Wine list. I love that they showcase and support Texas wines, and even offer wines on tap, but there is a heavy focus on Duchman Vinyards which is mediocre at best. Given the price point, I am not inclined to try it again. read more

We were impressed by the ribeye that we had heard about, and the service was excellent and so polite. Portions of the appetizers a la carte were definitely on the smaller side, but they did not lack in quality or flavor. There's a tiny lot in back where the dining entrance technically is, but entering off Manor will put you in the butcher shop, where you can take home meats and is a great other alternative for butcher shops on the east side. The place does cost a pretty penny (ribeye, two sides, and several glasses of wine put us over 180, but everything is local and the atmosphere is pretty great. Fun to try for a special occasion. The groups next to us were also particularly chatty, so the environment was enjoyable. I'd be interested to return to try their supper club menu! read more

I love this place. The people, the food, the drink, and the atmosphere is all terrific. I am grateful to have this place so close to home, especially during covid. You can order groceries from them along with food and wine from their dining menu. I HIGHLY recommend the burger and garlic fried potatoes when they have them on the menu. read more

For years I have been a fan of Dai Due at the farmer's markets and even participated in one of the first 'Hog Schools' that co-owner Jesse Griffiths put on. So, I was excited to try the new brick and mortar restaurant and it did not disappoint. Jesse and his wife, Tamara Mayfield, have put together an inviting space with in innovative meat-tastic menu with awesome servers. The butcher shop is in the front of the space and loaded with fresh cuts of venison, beef, wild boar, goat and more. The restaurant is in the back with an open kitchen and wine bar. I wont spend a lot of time on tonight's menu because it will change constantly based on availability as the core principles of Dai Due are to go wild and go local. What you can count on is it being creative, fresh and tasty...and often times outside of your comfort zone, but be brave and you will have a great experience. The only thing holding me back from that 5th star today was our cocktails and dessert. The Michelada leaves a lot to be desired including a tart base that resembles vinegar. It might be the base beer that they are using. Either way, I would go back to the drawing board on that one. Finally, the Pear Cobbler with Mesquite Ice Cream missed the mark as well. The pear was undercooked and the mesquite beans were not steeped enough to really bring any flavor into the cream. Let me be crystal clear in that this was a GREAT meal and experience. And since they have only been open for 48 hours, I know they will work out these tiny kinks in no time. In 2013 Jesse was a finalist for a James Beard award and I would guess that this new venture will give him the opportunity to clench it the next time around. read more

You know, I am not sure what to say except I am a VERY BIG fan of the fine work of Daidue. We've attended both dinners and classes and have never ever been disappointed. In fact, I will say that Jesse's enthusiasm and passion for what he does is infectious. We've been to several dinners, and every one has been run like a swiss sewing machine. Tamara and her team provide exceptional service, I really do mean exceptional. Pair that with Jesse's fine food and wow. It's a win all round. And then there's the charcuterie, available to order each week. Umm YUM. And now, Saturday mornings? I get awoken to a rumbling tummy next to me screaming for Jesse's breakfast sausage and biscuit at Farmer's market. I think you may have noticed by now, I really cannot say enough good things about Daidue. I just can't. Try and stop me. read more

2.5 would be closer. This was my 3rd trip to Dai Due. First was before it was really overrun and "hot", second was right after all of the great publicity this Summer and third was just two days ago (Fall). The recent experience fell seriously short. First - Excellent server. She (Tina?) was very pleasant and while of course doing her thing as a server in a cool spot, wasn't too over the top with the foodiness schtick/attitude that can happen all-too-often. Well done. OK - Three of us for dinner. Ordered meat board for app. Very good. Two ordered the pork chop and one the dry-aged steak ($65). The steak was just plain weak. Zero taste of what you would expect from even a 20-days aged piece and if I recall correctly, there was supposedly 45 days on this one. VERY hard to believe as it was incredibly bland, VERY little marbling and simply a HUGE disappointment. The $65 price tag was just painful for what this was/is. This cast a pall over the meal for sure overall. The pork chops were very solid flavor-wise, but small for sure...your basic mini-tomahawk presentation. The previous visit, I had a pork chop dish that was MUCH more substantial. This was just "OK". Sides were unremarkable, not bad, just again "OK". So...was disappointed for sure...sigh... read more

I'm baffled to why this place is rated so highly. People must care more about being cool and going to a small cozy while majority of the food would be returned in similarly priced restaurants. Here was my $64 bill. Drink ------ Mimosa an good amount of champagnes, preparing you for the under par food you will have. $8 each Apple & lemon sparking cocktail - a yummy drink, great flavor. $10 Main dish -------------- Torta Ahogada - Such a let down, I was so excited to eat a Torta Ahogada as the last time I had one was about a year ago. The bread used was not a Torta it was more like a hamburger bun. The under seasoned pork was so over cooked a small child would have chipped their tooth. The broth had good flavor but was too spicy, but bearable. Chef, if you read this take a flight to Guadalajara. Go to Penguinos Torta Ahogada and learn what a proper Torta Ahogada tastes likes. Side dish ----------- Roasted potatoes - over cooked and under seasoned. Would it be so hard to throw some salt on the potatoes? Some pieces we could not stick a fork in it. Not because it was under cooked but because they roasted all of the water out of it. Condiments ------------- Homemade ketchup - Not what I was expecting, it was more like a tomato salsa rather than a vinegary tomato purée. Homemade mayo - It was okay. The chef, if they even have one, is under par. He needs work. His over usage of chili and lack of salt and paper seasoning. Shows how inexperienced the person cooking in the back is. Poor guy next to me was sweating because of the spice. The environment was trendy, I wish it had the food to match it. read more

This is one of the coolest, freshest, things I have been to in quite some time. This is a supper club founded by Jesse Griffiths and Tamara Mayfield based on local food and sustainable lifestyle. All you have to do is get on the mailing list on the website and you will start getting invited to some of the most fun evenings you can imagine. Everything on the menu is fresh and locally grown. They always have a theme and are held in some of the neatest venues in Austin. (sometimes right on the farm in the yard surrounded by goats and chickens) If you are a person that loves to dine out in places that offer a "chef's menu" you will LOVE this concept. We always meet the coolest people at these dinners and Jesse and Tamara are the BEST. They keep the attendance small so you have to reserve a spot ahead of time. ($25 deposit by mail) Prices range usually from $45 up to $75 a person depending on the menu. We have actually been to one that served 10 courses. I think that is QUITE a deal. It is BYOB, they usually have a list of wine pairings at the Whip In if you go by there ahead of time. We went to a dinner on Saturday night that was under the big open Texas sky in the most perfect weather, we were greeted by a dog named Redd who turned out to be the most wonderful of hosts. We mingled with the goats and chickens and walked among the actual plants that produced much of the produce for our feast. We listened to live local artist playing at the perfect level for conversations with our new found friends. The food tasted as food was meant to taste. I encourage anyone to join in the amazing, cutting edge dining experience. We welcome you to join us at the table. If nothing else stop by their website and see what they are all about. This one will not disappoint. read more

OK, so... the butcher shop is a 4 and the restaurant a 2... I'm a fan of Dai Due. When I went downtown I would always hit them up at the farmers' market. I went with two other friends and we both agreed that maybe they need some time to get things right. A lot of the dishes we got were kind of bland, kind of meh... The ones that were good, were GREAT. I'm hoping to come back in a few months and see what all these five star people are seeing. I think they have potential but they're kind of missing the mark for now. read more

Dai Due's brunch menu seems to be a very traditional American affair, infused with "exotic" meats and with a heavy nod towards broths. There has been a lot of research on the medical benefits of broth, and for a long time broth was simply what was left over after you cooked the food. That's a topic unto itself, but kudos to Dai Due for bringing broth to the forefront. We walked in past the butcher counter, which inexplicably is also a bakery/butcher shop (?). In any event, we walked in and my wife spotted a xihuacan cheese croissant, which was mind-blowing. Our table of four quickly devoured it, and attempted to order another one, only to find they were sold out. Boo. I can heartily recommend the cemita ahogada. I handily won "meal roulette" with that dish, despite not knowing exactly what I was ordering. Basically it's a carnitas sandwich, cut in half, with both halves face down in a bit of broth. And that broth, oh that broth...it might be the most intriguing, complex broth I've ever had. Hearty and sweet gives way to just the right amount of heat with a slight, slight sour finish. It reminded me a bit of Pinkberry, oddly enough, where you have the first bite and ask yourself "Do I like this?" Only to find, five minutes later, that the entire bowl is gone. Speaking of sour notes... The bacon manages to be limp, despite being thick cut and burnt to a crisp. We ordered a table pancake, which turns out to be a gigantic, puffy, disappointing dough disc. One "pancake" is more than enough for a table of four. If you mix the fruit in and just eat the perimeter it's crispy and decently flavored. But the center mass, the bulk of the pancake, is dense, doughy and flavorless. Our friend ordered the CenTex breakfast, which seemed like the traditional eggs/grits/toast that you can find anywhere. His comment? "It's what you would expect." For $15, I'd expect a little bit more. My wife ordered the sweet potato sope, which she liked, but to be honest, she was eyeing my ahogada the entire time. It's clear that Dai Due doesn't have their liquor license, but they make up for it with a pretty expansive beer and wine selection. I'm not a wine guy, so I can't speak to that part of the menu, but the beer selection is...odd. It's heavily stacked with porters and stouts, which seems an odd pairing. When I'm having my heavy meat and soup entree, I don't want an equally heavy beer. To be fair, there are a few ales and even a saison or two in there, but I'd think you'd want to be heavy on the IPAs here to balance out the dishes. They do offer very large serving (1Litre !!) table beers, which is a pretty great concept that I've not seen executed anywhere else....or maybe it's just a clever re-branding of a pitcher of beer. Would I come back? Eh, maybe. At least for brunch, the menu isn't innovative enough to make me a a regular, though I know they rotate their offerings with the seasons, so this would be a place to hit up two or three times a year, just to see what they're offering up. read more

Extremely overrated. The appetizers were not great. Every dish we got was not flavorful at all. Almost Everything in the menu is cooked in porkfat. Burned bread. Staff is really nice however. Also don't even think about this place if you're vegetarian. read more

Dai Due - Butcher Near Me - Austin, Texas

Meh. Unfortunately that's how I'm going to sum up my experience here. We came in last week for dinner and I liked the concept a lot, I liked the attached butcher shop, I liked the table tops, and I liked the limited menu (honestly, I prefer menus that only have a few things as opposed to ones that have too many options). I made reservations for 6pm because we were on a time crunch and had to be at an event by 7:30. We were seated and our order was taken around 6:20. Our food didn't come out until 7. We watched as people were seated after us receive their food (2 couples), and we watched as our server drank wine at the bar. I'm sorry but no one checked in on us, the service was ok. I ordered the chicken family style meal and I'll admit it wasn't bad, the roasted sweet potatoes were good, as was the grilled broccoli, the sauce on the chicken was amazing and the chicken was moist. However, there were lots of parts on the chicken that were pink/red...which deterred me from eating it. My friend got the pork chop and said, "It tastes ok. There's a lot of seasoning but it's more fat than anything." I felt bad for him. But he said the grilled apricot bread was good. We told the server we had to leave to make it to our show and that's when she started to hurry. My meal came with dessert so she packed it to go for me but I wasn't even offered one of the teas or coffee listed with it (which probably wouldn't have taken but still). The orange came was okay, overtly sweet for me. I wanted to like this place but poor service and the mediocrity of the food didn't do it for me. read more

My first visit to Dai Due's Farmer's Market Stand was on the Austin Eats Food Tour. Our first sampling of the day was hands down the most delicious biscuits and gravy I've ever had. The biscuit was perfect. Moist, soft, and flaky, while still holding its form in the gravy. The sausage? Local sausage with the perfect amount of spice. If I ever need a new bloodstream, I want it to be this gravy. I really hope to take part in one of their supper clubs. This was my first trip to a farmer's market. I had an idea that they were all pretentious vegetable vegan folk. I was proven wrong. They're catering to all of us! Rejoice and join me on my next trip to Dai Due to gorge on more biscuits and gravy. read more

Wanted to try something new so I had the wild boar confit in boar broth...the only reason I pump the brakes going there again tomorrow and getting the exact same thing is to see how far down this rabbit hole of yum goes by trying another dish. The bar tender literally told me I couldn't go wrong ordering anything on the menu and based on tonight, my money's on she's right. read more

HOLY Moley. I think I might have just had the most amazing experience that may not have been normal (compared to other reviews I've seen) however, it must be noted. Walking in, greeted by fresh meat literally hanging from the ceiling and in the front cases, I knew we were in for incredibly delicious and high quality meat. Of course the menu looked amazing (we went in the lunch hour when breakfast was still being served) and decided to order 5 things and share. We had the Pon Haus, the biscuits and gravy, the burger with bacon, the french toast, the kale and grapefruit brulee. Seriously I can't even tell you which one I liked best because every single dish blew us away. The Pon Haus is really unique so I guess that's my vote but man, I was lucky to have people who wanted to share with me. All of the different meats in each dish were INCREDIBLE. To top it all off, the coffee and tea were both worth mentioning. We couldn't stop talking about the herbal tea and how we would love to drink it every day but also the single drip coffee was pretty awesome! As I was leaving, I inquired about the raw dog food. The lady behind the counter was overjoyed and super knowledgeable, told me all about it, and even sent me home with a sample! I can't say enough great things about this place! Meat Love! read more

This is how human beings should eat! Fresh, local, and very well thought out dishes made with passion. The venison ceviche is served with homemade potato chips and a spicy homemade salt. The meat was tender and tasted extremely heathy and fresh. The meat board contains homemade charcuterie that is very impressive served with toasted bread, pickles and mustard. Make sure to check the menu before you go they have a different supper club every night of the week. If you eat paleo you'll love this place! read more

I'm happy to report that our last dinner experience at Dai Due demonstrated to me that they have made some favorable changes. We made a reservation (this time earlier in the night in the hopes of avoiding a menu full of sold-out items). We ordered several items, but the server came back a minute later and, as with our previous dinner there, they were already out of one of the few entree options, a bone-in dry-aged ribeye. As with the previous visit, we asked the server if they would be replacing the item with something similar and she initially said no. We told her that this happened the last time we were here and she went to check with the kitchen. To our delight she came back and confirmed that the kitchen would take some steaks from the butcher window and offer them on the menu. This was the right move and made everyone happy. Glad to see the kitchen staff being flexible in this fashion, especially since they're uniquely situated to do so as a butcher shop, and happily changing my review to 5 stars. read more

Currently my favorite restaurant in Austin. Has some of the best food I've eaten anywhere, including NYC restaurants. 1) The food is very high quality and delicious - I especially love brunch options - hash bowl, pancake, salads, simple eggs and bacon, pastries - all of it delicious! 2) Great interior design and space - love the ambience - warm and inviting but classy and sophisticated too. 3) BACON - Their bacon is hands down the best I've ever had. read more

This is easily the best restaurant in Austin, a city full of shit food. The fried chicken, honey, and habanero salsa go perfectly together. The pork confit is quite possibly the best bite in Austin. I can eat junk here but yet leave with no indigestion or gas. Wow....it's because everything is so fresh and 'healthy;,,,well not really healthy but healthy in the sense of 'toxins'. Fried chicken cooked in beef tallow, grass fed beef, etc. They think of everything here. Good job guys. Keep up the good work. read more

I wanted to tell a freaking knock knock joke to take the surly look of the cook and the order taker at the stand.The tragic look of the cook almost made me think he was kidding around..He was really that sad.Cheer up young cook..Things cannot be that bad..or maybe they are? The 7 dollar hot dog My wife and I shared was indeed amazing.The Dog was that good I would go I would go back and endure the pointless horrible service. I Just wish I could crack a smile outa that sad duo. read more

Ohmygawd. This is one of my favorite restaurants in ATX!! My go-to's are the Sourdough Pancake (always topped with whatever delicious fruits are in season) and their burgers (again, made out of whatever amazing meats they have available) for Brunch, and their Shank and Chicken Hearts (yes, actual chicken hearts) for dinner! Their menu is constantly changing, so don't get set on one thing before going! But no matter what, whatever you get will be AMAZING. read more

This place has all the makings of a hyped-up and trendy Austin restaurant: 1) Locally sourced ingredients, 2) A "we do things differently" atmosphere, and 3) Inconveniences like a tiny parking lot, unpredictable wait times, and no real waiting area. I invited my friend here for her birthday brunch today and the experience was largely "meh". The way things ran, I figured the place had been open less than a month. And yet when I glanced at trusty Yelp reviews, I found that people have been leaving reviews as far back as August! So it baffles me as to why Dai Due does not take brunch reservations AND offers no wait area/seating while patient patrons are asked to wait 30+ minutes. There's a pseudo-patio area adjacent to the tiny parking lot near the restaurant entrance, but there is absolutely no furniture on it. I saw many patrons just sitting on the ground during the wait. In my book, that's not a way to treat your guests! Another counter-intuitive aspect is that the main storefront is really for the butcher shop. If you want to check in at the hostess stand, you're expected to walk through the entire length of the restaurant and to the back door to speak to a hostess. It doesn't take a degree in interior design to experience the un-zenlike aspects of this setup. There's one seating area (a bench) that is located near the butcher shop and very far from the hostess stand. Guess where the hostess goes when she's calling people to their table? The back patio area with no seating. Yeah...still makes no sense to me. Our waitress was very sweet and kind and helpful in making menu recommendations. I was surprised that the restaurant doesn't offer decaf coffee at all and instead offered herbal tea. I had the wild chorizo breakfast sandwich and my friend had the Dai Due breakfast. The chorizo sandwich was very heavy on the bread and light on the filling. And the Dai Due breakfast was largely flavorless. Both dishes could have benefited from much more seasoning and flavor. Unfortunately though, both dishes tasted like health food without health food perks like low calories or low fat. With the plethora of delicious dining options in town, I don't see myself coming back to Dai Due anytime soon. read more

41/2 stars! Dai Due was highly recommended so we decided to check it out one night while I was visiting Austin. The restaurant portion is towards the back of their butcher shop. The service and ambience was remarkable. Everything we got was exceptionally good. It was my first time trying venison sausage and it was sooooo yummy! The pork chop was perfectly seasoned, super moist and juicy. The chicken liver pate totally hit the spot. The only complaint I had was how dry the falafel was; it was apart of the centex mezze platter which came with a variety of things to try, including the venison sausage I mentioned, so the falafel being dry was no biggie because everything else on that platter was delicious. Do save room for dessert! We got the strawberry oat ice cream sandwich and boy oh boy it was amazing!!! They offer beer and wine only folks, cheers! read more

Such an interesting concept...a butcher shop and a restaurant with a highly creative menu. There were three of us and we each had something different, fish, wild boar and foie gras. The presentation was stunning and the flavors delicate and not at all gamey. It was freezing the night we were there. I'd like to come back on a cool evening and sit on the very cute back patio. If you are a bit of an adventurous eater, give this place a try. If you are a picky eater or don't like the unusual, this may not be the best choice for you. read more

LOCAL LARD! WOOHOO! They say eat local, but why not FRY LOCAL? I have this Chili-Cookbook that I've been tackling recently, and I've been doing my best to use local ingredients, and that isn't too easy as many items are as obscure as "Snow-Cap Beans from Denver" or Venison. Well... one recipe called for pure lard. How the heck am I supposed to find locally sourced lard?! Well, Dai Due answered my call as I was walking past their Farmer's Market Booth one Saturday. Fresh, homemade pork lard. A whole 2 lb. of it; and apparently it lasts years since its just pure fat; unfortunately half of the jar is already in my arteries. Also, their artisan sausages are awesome. Last fall, their seasonal green chile-pork sausage was moist, fresh, and it had a nice kick. Most recently, their Bockwurst had Bastrop beef and Richardson pork with some classic spices and flavorings. This sausage is really meaty, flavorful, and best of all, moist without greasiness. This is a perfect "lean" sausage, since fat isn't really blended in too much. Do do Dai Due soon. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! My husband and I have been here twice now for dinner. The first time was during their soft opening and then again recently when we had friends visiting from Chicago. The service was on par for the soft opening and again the second time we went. Good to see consistency! What was truly awesome was when we went during the soft opening, true to their name, they were butchering a deer in the open concept kitchen of the butcher shop. it was quite a treat to see. All I can say is those knives are sharp! This really enhanced the overall experience we had there that first night. If you are going there with a date or your significant other, I would recommend ordering one Supper Club and then adding a few small plates and an entree to share. This will be plenty of food for two. Everything we had was delicious. Their menu changes weekly based on available ingredients. I highly recommend the pork chop if it is on the menu. The other amazing dish I had there recently was the Venison ceviche. it was AMAZEBALLS! Definitely stop in whether for the butcher shop or supper club. Service is great, food is delicious and prices are fair. The dining space is small and intimate so I'd recommend making a reservation to be safe. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Came with two friends on a Saturday morning, and it was pretty packed. Luckily, we didn't have to wait for a table and were seated at a booth right away. The layout of this place kind of reminds me of Noble Pig. Our waitress was sweet and refilled our water pretty often for us. The decor was nice, and there was a lot of light streaming in from the big windows. We shared the pancake with pear and bacon (forgot the names of everything) and the "hash" with meat bits and two eggs among the three of us, and it was a good amount. The pancake was sooo thick it was more like cornbread! It was pretty tasty and we all liked it. The "hash" was kind of strange. There were sweet potatoes, sunny-side-up eggs, some red (beet, maybe?) sauce and tiny meat chunks. More like bits than chunks. I didn't really like the red sauce, and we felt like we were scavenging for the meat. It wasn't very satisfying. Since both of these were recommended by the waitress, we were kind of disappointed. Although the pancake was good, it wasn't amazing to any of us. If I were to come here again, I would definitely try a burger since this is a butcher shop. read more

One of the best wild game restaurants around with a perfect upscale blend. Highly recommend the brunch menu too!

Chad's eSCAPE Review. Service (3). The service wasn't great but I am not sure if it was suppose to be. It is actually a butcher shop I think. There were many people on site working, but lunch service wasn't the primary focus. Cost (4). Extremely inexpensive menu with some great wild boar and German traditional lunch options. I think they may even undercharge a bit for what they provide. Atmosphere (5). This is very interesting b/c from the outside, it is very unattractive and it has a name that is somewhat confusing or undefined in my mind. I did know it was a butcher shop, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The parking really stinks and the parking lot was tiny. Once we finally wedges ourselves into a spot, we entered the location and holy smokes. Not what we expected at all. Very cool. Ceiling to floor windows, a full up butcher shop where you could actually watch the meat being hoisted into the butcher area, great seating, a bar. Very Austin like and unique. Palate (4). I got the wild boar lettuce wraps and they were amazing. My colleagues got a German Meatloaf special and they were impressed as well. I would like to try a few other things. Everything Else (3). They gave us very tiny water glasses which always annoys me and the menu options were somewhat limited. Other than that though, what a neat and different experience. There is an outdoor seating area I'd like to try next time. It's worth a repeat visit. read more

Excellent food! I recommend, if you go with someone willing to share, for one of you to get the supper club and the other to pick from items on the menu. Supper club option is coursed out so you get a starter an entrée and a dessert. SO GOOD! I would write more but doing this from a phone. Just go! You won't be disappointed. read more

So delicious and pleasant and I want to return immediatly to try the rest of the menu! I met a friend for brunch here around 11 AM on a Saturday and we were able to be seated right away (just 1 or 2 tables open). Started with coffee that was deep and rich (and came with a cute tiny jar for sugar), and then had the Centex Breakfast with perfect over easy eggs, venison breakfast sausage, creamy grits and sweet potatoes and a perfectly moist and crumbly biscuit. Loved the breakfast, it tasted incredibly fresh and well seasoned, and wanted to try every other dish. My friend had the sourdough pancake which was delicious and more like a dutch baby/clafoutis than a flapjack. Atmosphere was slightly loud but the excellent service and great decor easily made up for it! read more

Dai Due is amazing! The food is made with love and tastes wonderful. We have been to about 7 dinners and are always blown away. The produce is all local and the preparation is flawless. It's a great chance to learn about sustainability while having a delicious meal. I love the supper club idea, it gives you a chance to meet people with an adventurous side. We love Dai Due and actually had them cater our small wedding, the feedback from our guests was all positive some people even mentioning that it was the best meal they had ever had!!! read more
