We had take out that included the combo plate and the sausage plate. The meats were nicely smoked. The pulled pork and brisket was tender and smokey. Personally sausage was slightly dry and could use a li6more fat.
Excellent meal at Waimea Butcher Shop! The appetizers and sides were outstanding...order the steak tartar, and get all of the shareables. If you order steak, don't expect the mild tasting beef we are used to eating at steak houses. These are Parker Ranch meats, cowboy steaks if you will, full flavored, chewier, and so satisfying! The ingredients are locally sourced and couldn't be fresher. (I have never heard 6 people on a table rave so much about sauteed string beans). Finally, the ice cream we had for dessert was amazing. Can't wait to go back!
Wow, EXCEPTIONAL quality butcher. The best on island. Meat sourced locally, including American Wagyu beef, dry aged selections, various sausages, lamb, pork, eggs, deli sliced vacuum packed variety, specialty cuts (had dry aged tomahawk ribeye today!). Niche, TOP quality. Beyond all this, they offer a lunch sandwich / burger menu that is MIND BLOWING. Try the double smash burger, by far the best in the state and totally worth the 20 for a top-quality lunch. I stop here every time I'm in Waimea for a fantastic meal the bonus of taking home an amazing steak. Seriously, this is the place for highest quality you'll find on Big Island.
Amazing space! Walk-in with no reservations but they are recommended. Started with unusual drinks, easily one of the best MaiTais on island! Steak tartare was delicious and the mustard complimented the beef perfectly. The filet was perfectly cooked and horseradish sauce not overpowered. I'll definitely get the entree next time! We'll be back and can't wait to try the Lamb Ragu. Lighting was a bit bright but otherwise the atmosphere and Rachel's live music was great!
I finally found the time to visit what has now become my favorite local shop in Waimea. I only purchased ground beef (cooking it as we speak and the house smells heavenly) and bone broth. This is the best bone broth I have ever had (by far). Warmed it up and added some Himalayan salt - what a delight! I can’t wait to try their ribeyes!
I am a huge fan of the Waimea Butcher Shop - their steaks, sausages, cured meats, headcheese, sandwiches, chili, etc. They've been open for about 10 years now and the quality of their products has always been tops! Their staff members are knowledgeable, friendly and so helpful, which makes for such a lovely overall experience. Waimea Butcher Shop recently started dinner service and I've been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to visit. I live on the east side of Oahu and practically never venture farther than the airport LOL But I will happily drive over an hour each way, just to get a taste of the Waimea Butcher Shop!!! Every single dish that we tried on their dinner menu was absolutely delicious!!! * Tartar - hand chopped sirloin, mustard seed caviar, fish sauce cured egg yolk, shrimp chips. Beautiful and perfectly seaoned. * Anda Dog - beef brat, shoyu mustard. The perfect ratio of delicious, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, batter with a savory brat bite on the inside. * Deep Fried Headcheese - Portuguese bean soup headcheese, citus and herb aioli. Savory and bright, familiar but fancy. - Spicy Lamb Pate, toast points - spicy deliciousness. I only wish I had a thick slice of crunchy, chewy bread to slather the pate over, instead of the delicate toast points that came with it. Our sweet server later brought some extra crackers for us as we had so many appetizers * Spicy Lamb Ragu - 4 hour braised, Kai(n) mafaldine. Tender chunks of tasty lamb and fun noodles that cradle the sauce in their little curves. * Bavette‐garlic chimichurri. DELISH! I cannot gush enough about the food or the service! Amira was our main server and she was just SO wonderful! Mills, the owner, stopped by each table and shared stories behind the dishes, his favorite items and explained the preparation of the dishes. He is so engaging and personable, you cannot help but want to hug him, high five him and thank him for doing what he does! The entire crew is really professional and work well as a team to make sure everyone enjoys their evening. Kudos to all! Oh, I had the Snoked Honey and Namasu cocktails. Both tasty, boozy and balanced. And there live music!
OMG the best (and I mean the best) smoked meats anywhere. The brisket is to die for. The drive out to Waimea is gorgeous and then you get to have this scrumptious lunch. How's that for a fine afternoon? Service is friendly & helpful. A must stop on you way around the island.
Upscale. Everything is ala carte... I had the Filet- it was amazing! Recommend the sides sampler, it's definitely enough for 2. Quality, quality, quality!
