Steakhouse & butchery

Meat loverstaste quality

Beef dry-aged in our own locker for 45 days, cut by hand at the block and cooked over Texas post oak. Eat it at our table, or take the same cuts home.

Tailored for you

Cut to order for people who care

Tell the counter how you cook and how many you are feeding. We pick the cut, trim it, tie it and send it with a card that says exactly what to do next.

#Whole-animal butchery

We buy sides, not boxes, from four ranches within 200 miles.

#Aged in house

A salt-walled locker at 36°F, 45 days for loins, 60 for ribs.

#Cooked over oak

No gas on the line. The pit is lit at five every morning.

#Packed cold

Vacuum sealed and delivered in an insulated box the next day.

Driven by fire

Your table is our whole job

Cleaver & Coal started in 2011 as a six-stool counter behind a butcher's shop. The stools became a dining room, but the rule never changed: one fire, good animals, and nobody leaves hungry.

Marcus Hale still breaks down every side himself on Monday mornings. Come and watch.

Prime and upper-choice beef from ranches we visit twice a year.

Reservations held for fifteen minutes, and a host who remembers your order.

Buying whole sides means we can charge by the ounce, not by the hype.

What our guests say

I put a box together with Build Your Box, got the 10% off, and it turned up the next morning still cold, every cut sealed and labelled. The brisket fed nine of us and there was enough left for sandwiches.

Simple fire for big appetites

Skewers, ribs and whole briskets for the backyard. Order by 2pm and we deliver chilled the same day in Fort Worth.
