Florida-based market Southern Steer Butcher opened its second Austin-area location in October.

What to know

Owned by Jonathan Candee, the business sells a range of proteins and offers advice on seasoning, cooking and pairing.

The butcher shop has operated a location in Lakeway since June 2024, which can be found at 2300 Lohmans Spur Road, Lakeway.

In an email exchange, Candee said the shop is bringing back the personalized experience that came with street corner butcher shops.


“At Southern Steer Butcher, we remember those days and we’re bringing them back to today’s consumer,” Candee stated. “Here, you’re not just a ‘consumer,’ you’re our guest–no, more than that–you’re family. You’re our neighbors, and we’re a part of the neighborhood.”
