Great place and a unique experience. Upon arrival you'll be seated and then the butcher comes out to take you to the cutting room. You'll see a video about the history then are told what cuts of meat were available for the day. Next you'll choose the cut of meat and then the size of the steak. I got the ribeye, along with the mushroom risotto. The steak was cooked to my preferred temp and the risotto was phenomenal. The potatoes that came along weren't crispy enough for me. Salad provided was also ok, but why waste space on that when you have steak! Overall the restaurant was nice and a change of pace. The vibe was low key and industrial yet refined as the decor was well balanced. I'd def recommend for a steak and unique experience. read more

Interesting experience, but I couldn't quite figure out the vibe. The restaurant had checkered picnic-table cloths and music that sounded like Kidz Bop, which felt a little disconnected from the overall dining experience. One unique touch was being taken to the back to watch a video and select our steaks before dinner. That was a fun and memorable part of the evening. The steaks were cooked perfectly and served with a side salad and potatoes. My only complaint with the food was that the potatoes arrived about 10 minutes before the steaks, so they had cooled off by the time the main course was served. It would have been better if everything came out together. The service was good overall. We brought our own bottle of wine after reading that BYOB was allowed, but we learned upon arrival that they had recently obtained a liquor license and were not informed of a $30 corkage fee until the check arrived. The staff ultimately removed the charge, which we appreciated, but it would have been helpful to know about the policy change in advance. Overall, the food was very good, especially the steak, but the atmosphere felt a bit off and inconsistent. While I'm glad we tried it, I'm not sure it's a place I'd return to. read more

I was quite perplexed on the journey from walking through the front to our table. The decor went from nice to casual to fine dining-ish to casual to western to rustic. I couldn't tell what the theme was. We were then taken to a back room where you choose your cut of beef after watching a brief video about their farm. While I appreciated being able to choose the specific cut of beef, I would've liked to see the scale up front to make sure the weight was correct since we were quoted by ounce. In addition, certain cuts had a huge amount of fat, about 20% of my steak was fat( not marbling). Unfortunately, for the price vs quality of the beef, I left disappointed. I requested medium for my steak and it came put med rare. Perhaps it was just my experience that night, my friend said she enjoyed her steak when she went and would come back. There is parking but it is shared with all the other businesses so you'll have to drive around to find a spot. read more

We celebrated a double January birthday here last night and the overall concept of the place is excellent, the execution let me down BIG TIME. The highlight for sure is the fact that the team truly showcases the ranch behind the meat and the meat itself. After being sat at our table, we quickly ordered drinks. A small cocktail menu, a few beers, a small selection of wines. They really can't make any cocktail that isn't on their menu (I asked for a dirty martini but the only vodka they offered was absolut and that just wasn't going to happen). Maybe they're still working on building out their bar. They do allow you to bring in your own bottle for a corking fee. Within 10 minutes, our table was brought back to a different area where we watched a video about the ranch in Florida where the cattle are raised and then a butcher presented the various cuts. It was interactive and really fun. We decided to opt for the 3lb tomahawk on offer ($100/lb) because it was a birthday celebration. Our friends opted for a skirt steak and a 12oz prime rib. We went back to our table where we put in an order for appetizers. We did the mix croquettes, waygu dumplings and side of risotto. The servers were attentive and before we knew it, our appetizers were coming out. The croquettes were good but very small. The dumplings were also good but not hot. Our meal sides of salad and potatoes came out next. The salad was basic and the dressing very oily and salty. The potatoes were good but cold and also swimming in oil. The prime rib and skirt steak got served first. Each cut of meat came out on hot skillets. Our friends seemed to really enjoy their cuts. Our tomahawk came out next and was cut table side. We ordered the cut cooked medium rare and it was BLUE. The server immediately said the hot plate they were serving it on would cook it more and brought us out individual skillets as well. The skillet definitely cooked the slices slightly more, but the marbling of the cut never cooked enough to make it enjoyable. This resulted in very gristly bites which was severely disappointing for the price of this item. I agree with other reviews - if your restaurant is standing on its meat, you better be able to cook it perfectly and this definitely is not what happened. Because it was a birthday, the staff did bring out two desserts, one for each birthday boy. It was their dirt cake. It was very powdery and I didn't enjoy it at all. The space itself has potential but again, the execution does let the concept down. Plaid tablecloths are laid all around, candles, dried flowers. It could all be elevated to achieve the unpretentious, farm-to-table look they seem to be going for but enhance it much more for the cost per person. Overall, the concept is interesting but the cook on our very expensive tomahawk really let us down. Our final bill for 4 was over $750 (granted, the tomahawk was $300) so I expected much better. I hope they can improve because this is a really fun concept restaurant. If I could do half stars, I would say it was a 1.5 experience because of value for money and execution, but I'll round up because the concept is really special. read more

I had an interesting experience here, but I expected it based on the other reviews. The decor is a bit odd, like they're trying to be fancy but everything looks like it came from Ikea or Amazon -- from the tablecloths to the bookshelves. Strange vibe aside, our server was friendly and welcoming. My partner and I did find the order of operations a little weird too, since you're seated and told to order drinks and apps first, before waiting to be led to the room where all the meat is. We ordered the following: Mix croquettes: 1/5 The filling was very mushy and bland with little to no flavor. Orzo truffle risotto: 1/5 This was extremely thick and had an artificial truffle taste. We did not enjoy this and left a lot unfinished. It was very salty as well. Denver cut wagyu: 5/5 Delicious cut of meat! This was a bit salty but the flavor and texture of the meat was great. Ribeye cut wagyu: 3/5 The meat quality wasn't as good as we expected and was very salty. The pot: 2/5 Very meh -- super salty in some bites and super sweet in others. They don't really advertise it, but your steaks come with unlimited salad and potatoes. The salad was decent but soggy with the dressing, and the potatoes were very dry and tasted like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. Overall, I would come back purely for the denver cut but I'd skip the apps and dessert. read more

La Wagyeria was the most.incredible one-of-a-kind culinary dining experience centered around the world's most luxurious beef: Wagyu. Their mission is to provide guests with a unique opportunity to explore the rich flavors and tenderness of Wagyu in an inviting, sophisticated atmosphere, and boy did they deliver. We went with a group of friends from The Beef Team because this experience truly exhibits the "pasture to plate" concept. Every Thursday, Friday & Saturday night they offer an exclusive concept, where you can enjoy a unique WAGYU EXPERIENCE. This experience begins with going into "the lab" where you watch a video about the ranches where the Wagyu cattle are raised. Then you get to meet the butcher and choose from several varieties of Wagyu cuts of meat. During our visit, they offered Ribeye, New York, Denver, Bavette Skirt, and Filet Mignon cuts. I usually go with Ribeye, but after a conversation and guidance from the Butcher, I decided to try the Denver cut which was a specialty cut with exquisite flavor profile. Then you go back to your table where you can order from a variety of cocktails and appetizers while their talented chefs prepare your chosen Wagyu to perfection, cooked rare unless specified otherwise. Their menu features Spanish-inspired appetizers and we tried the orzo truffle risotto, mushroom Croquetas and the Wagyu dumplings. They also had a cocktail menu with a variety of craft cocktails and each one is named after one of their bulls from the ranch. I tried the Ferdinand which is their version of the margarita and Casanova which is a Paloma, mango with white sangria. The meat is served with a side of hand cut potatoes and an organic farm-to-table salad. The Denver cut is the best tasting steak cuts that I have ever experienced with marbling throughout the meat and a fat cap. The meat was cooked to perfection and each bite just melted in your mouth. We were given complimentary desserts including The Pot with vanilla ice cream, Oreo, Nutella, pretzel, caramel and sea salt. and Passion Fruit Mousse. The presentation of The Pot dessert was so cute as it came in a pot shaped container with spoons shaped like shovels. We got a tour of the kitchen area and the owner met with us to give us the backstory of the business and some interesting history of the origins of the restaurant. This dining experience exceeded all expectations and can't return soon enough!! read more

If you're looking for a true wagyu experience without crossing the river -- La Wagyeria in South Austin is it! This isn't your typical steakhouse; it's an elevated, educational, and genuinely fun dining experience. We were greeted upon arrival and sat down at their adorably decorated tables, giving you a chic farm fresh experience. After you've placed your drink order and drinks arrive you're invited to the back where their butcher walks you through the cuts available for the night, along with a short video presentation about their ranch and how their wagyu cattle are raised. You can tell how much care goes into it -- sustainable farming practices and a stress-free environment that creates the signature marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes their wagyu so special. We started with the wagyu dumplings (super fun and flavorful) and heard the croquetas are also excellent. But the real star of the show was the steak! We went with the Ribeye and Denver cut. BOTH were INCREDIBLE, but the Denver was easily one of the best steaks we've ever had -- perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor, plus it was only $60 for a 10-12oz cut and comes with addicting roasted potatoes and a refreshing salad, which is tough to beat in Austin. Our server, Dylan, was outstanding -- super attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about what he does. The service really added to the whole experience. We finished the night with "The Pot" dessert cup, which was surprisingly delicious and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. The entire experience takes about two hours, and while they do take walk-ins, we definitely recommend making a reservation so they can give you the full attention and service they're known for! If you're looking for an upscale yet approachable night out with phenomenal food, incredible service, and an experience you'll be talking about for days -- La Wagyeria is a must! read more

I preface this with I am HIGHLY sensitive to onion. And pork. So my options here are limited. Keep that in mind. The owners have managed to transform the warehouse space into an intimate and unpretentious eatery. I couldn't have any apps except the risotto, which made it to the table after our mains were served. It turned out to be good (very truffle-y), it just not needed at that point, so we packed it to go. My table enjoyed the dumplings and I hear they were tasty- we were told they had pork in them, so I did not partake. You are whisked away to join the chef/butcher/rancher/owner to select your cut and learn about the process and history. The cuts vary each night. And for me, they are big, but they will cut you a smaller piece if you ask. It is a pretty cool experience. Then you return to the table- order a drink. All main meats come with salad and potatoes. The potatoes were bland by themselves and served with what I can only imagine was a mixture of raw onion juice, tomato and maybe carrot? It tried to kill me is all I know. My eyes are still swollen and itchy from it being in front of me. The sides for the main and came out about 20 mins before the meat. They were a little cold and soggy by the time the meat arrived. The salad was a lot or raw purple onion and chunky tomatoes. Not their fault I couldn't eat it. So at the is point, I'm hungry. The meat arrived warm and cooked to order. The ribeye was very fatty, but the dog got a lovely fat snack later. We also tried the hanger. While both were delicious, my favorite was the often overlooked skirt- thin, cooked perfectly, and flavorful. On to desserts. One is a dirt cake and one is a passion fruit mousse. Both fun and delicious. But the mousse was the perfect ending to any meal: light yet rich, fruity, perfectly sized. If you just want a glass of wine and dessert, this is a great option! The website is misleading on drinks. They DO have drinks; it is not just BYOB! The cab by the glass was very complementary to my dinner. Mixed drinks may want to rethink the glassware- the mango sangria was served in a martini glass with a lot of ice. It tasted great, but I want my sangria served in a mason jar and/or strained. I think a good and missed opportunity is just outside their doors: local wine options from CL Butaud and a cocktail collaboration with Still. I'd love to see a Yard alfresco event. Overall, the prices are highly reasonable for Wagyu, the owner is amazing, and the staff is friendly. We are looking forward to trying different cuts next time. And there will be a next time! read more

So when you first walk in the place is really cute totally date night vibes. The host was so nice. She even came to our table on one point because nobody had to come up to us to offer us anything and she apologized for that and even gave us dessert on the house because of that. They do have a couple of cocktails and wine that you can choose from. I'm not really a Pinot Grigio girl, but I have to say the one they had was really delicious. They even let you try it before you decide to get a glass or a bottle of it. You're also welcome to bring your own wine or beer. You just pay a cork fee for it. Now, as far as the food goes, I have to say the harmonical was amazing. It literally was explained to us that they bring it from Spain, so it's like the real thing not some fake version of it. As when it comes to the meat is really cool they have you go to the back with them to the show room and then you pick out the type of cut you want and they cut it for you in front of you. Then you tell them how you want it cooked and then they escort you back to your table so you can keep enjoying your appetizer. With the meat order it includes a salad and potatoes with it, which was delicious. The salad had a really good vinaigrette and was very fresh and the potatoes were so yummy. It had like almost a buttery sweet flavor to them and the dipping sauce, and it was great. Now when it came to the steak, sadly I had ordered mine medium, and it came well done. They did offer to get me another one, but I didn't wanna wait because it was already late and I was hungry so I sucked it up and ate at the way it was. I have to say the flavor was great, but since it was well done, it was a little chewy. The dessert there's only two to choose from and we got one called the pot, which looks like a little plant and it honestly was unique and the flavor combination was really good. Only thing I will say is when you take a spoonful in do not inhale because the powder will go to your throat and you will start coughing a lot lol. Other than that, the place is really cute. I definitely would go back to give it a try again and hopefully this time they would have more meat selections since they did run out of a couple of cuts that I did want to order. read more

All the food here was made really well. Some people, especially the really hungry people might not like that you can't order your steak right away and have to be shown a presentation of the steaks to so that you can pick your cut. But to me it was interesting and informative even though I was hungry and wanted to get my food in faster. The whole seating and presentation area looked very nice. For appetizers the mixed croquette balls were really good. My favorite one out of the three was the mushroom one. House salad + dressing and the potato wedges were excellent sides. For the steak we had the Denver cut just cause they sold it to us in a way where we can't typically get this cut in most places so we had to try it. The boss man found out that we were sharing the steak so he gave us the bigger slice. Dont tell his wife, she was not there that day! The steak was good. But not being a steak expert, the meat shown looked like it did not have the best marbling for the normal cuts. Perhaps the denver did since its a leaner cut by nature. The plant pot dessert has a really nice presentation and was great. Do expect to pay a bit more since it's waygu steaks. But still definitely worth a try. I would still come back to try other cuts. read more

Made a reservation to celebrate a birthday. I didn't know they had a whole "showroom" experience when they talk through the cuts with the chef so you can make an informed choice. They also talk about the ranch and their practices during the presentation. I enjoyed this experience because it's always fun to know where exactly your food comes from. We split Denver at Rare+, I personally loved it. It was nice and tender, not too fatty, just right. The temperature was nailed exactly at what asked. At first, we looked at ribeye, but when they mentioned that you can't usually buy Denver in store, I was curious to try it. Next time we are trying their ribeye thought! The dessert was really cute! It was complimentary for the birthday and it looked like a plant pot. Very happy with the service! Our server was very nice and attentive, often checked us everything was fine. The beer list was on a modest side and no tap, but Sapporo was a good option to have with the steak. read more

Checked out La Wagyeria while out in Austin. This is a new restaurant experience located in the South Austin St. Elmo district. La Wagyeria raises grass-fed American Wagyu on their Florida Ranch and serves it up directly at their Miami and Austin restaurants. The atmosphere, the service, the food and the overall experience were exceptional. The restaurant staff was experienced and provided a superior level of service. You are taken to a meat selection room where you are given a nice presentation about the history of the ranch and owners. After the presentation you get an overview of the cuts of meat available and get to make your selection. From there they hand cut your steak and expertly cook it. The appetizers and drinks were tasty and refreshing. We started out with a basket of their mixed croquettes, Serrano Ham, Leek and Mushroom were the three different flavor croquettes and all three were amazing and I had a hard time choosing my favorite. We also ordered a homemade chorizo sausage served with pickled veggies, mustard and crostinis, the sausage was juicy and had the perfect amount of seasoning. For the steak we ordered the Tomahawk, it was seasoned perfectly and cooked to a beautiful medium rare. They also bring out a house salad for the table and a small basket of fried potatoes for each person. The entire meal was perfect. For the cocktails, they have a limited menu with 4 different cocktails to choose from. Each named after one of their Bull's. I had a Sake Negroni and a Hibiscus Margarita and both really were refreshing and paired well with the meal. The overall experience was exceptional, I couldn't think of anything that could have made the meal and overall dining experience better. They are open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night and I would highly recommend stopping in to check them out in either their Austin or Miami, FL locations. read more

The staff is incredible! They really offer a unique experience that allows you to pick your own cut of meat. The best part is learning about the origin and history of La Wagyeria. The food was great - portion sizes a bit small but full of flavor. Definitely tapas style appetizers. I highly recommend the ham croquettes! Overall a great experience and my only feedback is the lack of ambience. The space is pretty big and has so much potential for setting the mood. read more

It was an interesting experience but also a little confusing concept. Walking into a warehouse type space with interesting table decor that seems like they're trying to be fancy; it's like an identity crisis. It is a cool concept in general and you can tell they really take pride in their beef. They walk you to a back room towards a dark hallway and when you see a guy wearing black gloves and an apron, for a moment you don't know if this is actually an episode of Dexter or you're about to learn about cows and cuts. Oh yeah, and you have to watch happy cows walking around on the video and then turn around to see their parts cut up on the table. Admittedly, as an animal-lover trying to not become a vegetarian, it was hard. So you pick out what cut of meat you want and then go back to your tables and wait for them to cook it. The steaks come with potatoes as a side which were OK. The salad was actually good, though may seem a bit salty to some. We also ordered the Serrano ham croquettes which were decent but nothing amazing. The steaks were good but I've actually had better at other steak places in town. I don't think it's necessarily the quality of beef but maybe how it was prepared? I get a filet pretty much every where I go so I have a lot to compare to. I hate to say it, but the star of the night was the Machete cocktail. I'm not sure I'd go back but I think it's worth checking out for the experience. read more

An exclusive pop-up visit from La Wagyeria for 15 nights only, I was excited to snag a reservation and enjoy this experience. I was a little skeptical since there weren't many reviews online or info around the pop-up, but decided to stick with it and venture out. Overall, it was a unique farm-to-table experience and the steak was stellar, as one would expect from a business whose main selling point is their luxurious beef. However, the rest of the experience was pretty mediocre at best, and I would not recommend it nor would I do it again. OVERVIEW: - Food (3/5): Beyond the steak itself, everything else was nothing special. And very expensive for the value. - Service (2/5): Incredibly slow. Because this was a pop-up in an event space, they were not operating with a full/normal restaurant kitchen. Water was not offered nor free ($13...give me a break, this was more than the alcohol!). Soda cans were $5 a pop. It was sort of a makeshift of servers, so it was clear they had no experience actually serving in a restaurant. They only took 1 table at a time to order their steak, so people were waiting hours for food. It was very backlogged. I'm grateful we got there first and were the first to order, but I could feel the frustration of others who had been there for an hour and hadn't even ordered their meat yet. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, this is along a popular strip of breweries, pickleball spots, and bars. Plenty of parking lot spots and free street parking. - Reservations? Yes, required as this was a limited time pop-up experience. - Cost? High ($$$) FOOD RATINGS: - Steak (ribeye and filet mignon, 5/5): Loved getting to pick our cuts and have them made to order. This part of the experience was cool, albeit a bit time consuming. Perfectly cooked and simply seasoned, these melted in our mouths! - Potatoes (3/5): Hand cut and baked but boring. The attempt at an aioli was pretty sad. - Organic salad (2/5): Waaay too many onions and not nearly enough dressing. Was fresh but that's about it. - Croquettes (4/5): Perfectly golden and flavorful. We really enjoyed these! read more

What a unique experience getting to pick your own steak and watch them cut it in front of you. This was genuinely the best steak we have ever been serviced.

You have the chance to go into the "Wagyu Lab" and learn more about La Wagyeria as well as meet the butchers (who were genuinely so nice and down to earth).

Look. If you want amazing wagyu... here. The dumplings are to die for. They do have a limited drink menu and the corking fee for wine is crazy high. But the steak is amazing. You get to learn about where it is sourced from and choose your cut. It's a really neat experience but pricey. I recommend keeping it to special occasions. Been twice. If the corking fee for wine was less probably would go a little more. read more

Great environment and you get to learn about the different cuts of meat, their taste and toughness. The waiter was amazing.

The food was really great but timing was just off! I wish they would have let us pick out our steaks right when we arrived before seating us. We got all our apps prior to even picking out our steaks so there was a good amount of time after apps that we just sat waiting. It was very good but no wow factor! I did enjoy watching the video that explains wagyu and the farm! Unique experience! read more

La Wagyeria is nestled in the St. Elmo strip between the Austin Winery and Still Whiskey. We came here on their 2nd day of soft opening. The owner, I'm assuming , will take your party/table to the room where they'll show you a video about their ranch in Okeechobee, so you can see where they source the wagyu. After the video, you'll get to pick which cut you want, and they'll slice it for you right there and mark your steak with your name (on a stick). The service was decent considering, but slight hiccups on the cook of one of our steaks. My sister's picanha was sliced a little thinner than mine and was overcooked (ordered med rare, but leaned on well done). So this was a little disappointing that steak cuts are uneven, but they do notate the range of oz per cut is 10-12oz, I think. The food was good aside of the one steak getting overcooked; they tried to make it up to us by giving us their dessert, The Pot, on the house, since we didn't let them know til the end of our dinner. The Pot was delicious ice cream with dusting of some type of chocolate crumble to mimic "dirt" and served with a shovel shaped spoon (super cute!). Steaks were decent otherwise, Denver cut was probably the tastier one of the night. Figured the chef is still figuring out the new ovens and it's temperament. I would probably return, but not frequently since it's a little out of the way. But it is an interesting experience to try at least once. read more

The steak was decent and the experience was kinda cool however service was pretty terrible and we had to wait a long time to go pick our steak, etc.....They should really invest in updating there atmosphere...it felt very confusing for a semi upscale steak house.

Glad we went, otherwise I would have felt left out and really wondering what could have been. First visit to the Yard. Will def be back to explore more there. We weee promptly seated upon arrival. Drink order quickly taken. Explanation of the experience. Great! Ordered appetizers. They came quickly. Croquettes were hot, decent, but not great. Needed something else, maybe a sauce or cream for a dip? Then we waited. A while. To be guided back to a room to pick out steaks. A VERY loud 2 min video played. Interesting. Cool to see. Immediate feedback of the volume was very intense. Picked steaks, nothing speak honestly. I felt like I was at HEB meat counter. Nice selections, nothing that was unique or worth a wait or separate room. If I was a rerun diner, the novelty is totally lost. We waited. A side salad and fired potatoes served. No steaks yet. No preference requests on the salad. It was mixed greens with raw purple onion slices and large roma tomato chunks. Ate none of it, personal preferences. Very sparsely dressed...maybe oil? Again, preferences no fault. Steaks came. They were good, decent. Both were prepared to specification. Maybe a tad bland to my taste. Wouldn't recommend, wouldn't go back. Limited sides, long waits, not practical for a busy night with wait times. Glad we went once. I wouldn't have gone had I read the reviews before. read more

This was by far the best experience I have ever had in my life. The steak was easily the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. They had amazing service, best in class service in Austin. They treated me as if I was one of their own. This is a must try if you are in the area. read more

Best. Steak. Experience. Ever. I have been a few times now and every time I am blown away by the flavors, the butcher knowledge and the one of a kind experience of being able to see the cyts and select the one that speaks to your heart.

Seems like they haven't fixed their issues since their first pop-up! We went in last Friday for a 7:30 reservation and we didn't pick our meats until ~8:45 then had to wait another 20/30 mins for them to cook it. Then to make it better, my steak was undercooked! So we had to send it back and wait more. The process of picking the steaks was rather odd too, we watched a 2 min video talking about the process and whatnot but after waiting over an hour to just select our meal... I didn't even care what the video had. Of course, they only had maybe half of the meats available. As far as sides, we got the mix croquettes, and the orzo risotto which were okay. Nothing remarkable. The potatoes that came with the steak were over salted and the "salad" felt like a bunch of red onions with a pinch of greens and a tomato. Our wait staff even knew we were having a terrible time lol and seemed rather frustrated with the slow back of house movement. For a place that heavily rides on their "experience".. this one was not great. read more

It is an unconventional restaurant that appears to have once been a warehouse. Situated is an older Austin warehouse district that will over time likely become a more developed area, the area is home to several Austin businesses. The sign on the build says The Yard, but there is a small round sicker on the door that says La Wagyeria. The restaurant is brightly lit and not overly complicated. From my experience, a lot of places that serve steak are dimly lit and a little fancy. The atmosphere is very laid back, and I was told to dress is business casual attire. That's unnecessary. Wear something casual but not, whatever you're comfortable in, but leave the PJs at home. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful, the food is quite good (subjective). read more

Worst experience, left feeling violated(.) You are paying more for the ambiance then the food. Very little selection to go with the steaks they advertise. I've had a better steak from longhorn steakhouse. read more

Cool concept and meat has good flavor. However if ALL YOU SERVE IS MEAT, you should be able to nail the temp especially with what they charge. They don't ask how you like it cooked but we found out that they are supposed to prepare everything medium rare. Lol. This is funny cause I think the reason they don't ask and don't talk about it is because the chef can't cook the meat right...so it's like they prefer to not talk about it lol. My son's steak was WELL DONE. Gross. Sent it back, then they bring it back raw, like so raw it wasn't even juicy cause it was still cold. Then 3rd time was medium. My husband and I had already been finished with our steaks a long time before my sons came out. We were there 3 hours ‍ and when they brought the bill, the server said sorry about your son's steak but the owner said it is what it is and there was zero discount. I mean I didn't expect them to take it off but goodness even a small discount goes a long way but that's just bad service. This is their second location, first one is in Miami. Well this is TEXAS...GOOD LUCK if you can't cook a steak here making it and with that attitude I can't see them lasting long. Oh and btw, don't get their only dessert....it was like eating salty saw dust. read more

La Wagyeria was such a great experience. My partner and I went on Saturday night and everything from the food to the service was top-notch. Juan, the owner, was super welcoming and shared a bit about their story, which made it feel even more special. The Wagyu was incredible and it was really nice to hear the story of how the cattle was raised on their ranch in Okeechobee with a real focus on quality and care. It was also really cool that we got to hand-pick our cuts with the help of their head butcher, who was super knowledgeable and walked us through everything. Great vibe, amazing food, and genuinely kind people. We'll definitely be coming back and bringing friends. read more

I hosted my company's holiday party at La Wagyeria. Graciela helped me organize it from start to finish. She was very attentive and accommodating. It was a great experience and successful dinner. Everyone loved the service here. I definitely recommend it. read more

Ordered a $274 tomahawk to split with my husband. Was undercooked and underseasoned. I spit it out, it was so tough. Everyone else who ordered a steak at our table got their own little sad bowl of potatoes. But because we only ordered one steak to split (one that was 4x the cost of the other steaks), we only got one bowl. Salad and appetizer was unmemorable and drinks were also not noteworthy. Service was absolutely horrible. Do not waste your money here. read more

The restaurant grows their own beef! Rare ...like I want my steak. Wait staff was amazing in all ways. Once we got seated they asked if we wanted to see how our beef was grown and to be able to pick out our cut of steak. Everyone was so accommodating, kind, and thoughtful. Even the owner asked if my daughter wanted to cook our steak with him because it was her birthday. Soo sweet and sooo kind. After that experience we had a wonderful meal. I'm not used to going to a restaurant and not being able to choose my salad dressing. But this was a light oil based with a little lemon. It is my new favorite! So good and the potatoes were German fried in a skillet....again nailed it. So good! You have to go! We had the tomahawk and it was more than enough for 2 people. Birthday girl had a fillet and it was marvelous! I had a friend that used to own a restaurant say if you want to know how clean this kitchen is go look at the bathrooms. It's alllll spotless. Just go...enjoy! read more

Great cuts of steak...presentation is a cool. More options for Sides would be good but the ones they have are great.
