The Butcher’s Cellar is an upscale steakhouse in Woodway, Texas on the outskirts of Waco. The steakhouse opened in 2024 and remains a hidden gem due to its location.
The menu is developed with creativity and bold flavors by executive chef Alejandro Najar and Chef De Cuisine Alyssa Osinga. If those names sounds familiar to you… the reason might be, both chef’s competed in Season 21 of Hell’s Kitchen.
The Butcher’s Cellar is my go to place for special occasions, Thursday night dinners during a long week, and spur of the moment decisions for a night off from cooking. When I seen a post on social media for the upcoming California Inspired Che’f Dinner, I immediately purchased tickets.
