Live Oak's neighborhood butcher

Butcher shop. Smokehouse. Kitchen. One counter.

CARNE is the next chapter from Master Butcher Tim Estrada, founder of Point Butcher Shop. Whole-animal butchery, meats from ranches we know by name, and a kitchen that smokes over oak and cooks over live fire.

Grab a brisket plate for lunch, pick a ribeye from the case for us to fire, or take home dinner for the week. It all comes from the same counter.

The Butcher Grill

From the case to the fire.


Choose any steak in the case and the grill team cooks it to order over live fire. It's the best way to taste the difference a real butcher makes.
