This light-filled, friendly spot opened in the spring on a trendy stretch of Lovers Lane. In the sunny backyard, it has a casual party vibe with cornhole games and the smell of a smoker tickling the air. When the weather cools down, Fridays mean cookouts with Friday Night Lights sangria, presided over by executive chef and butcher Keith Browning, often sporting a newsboy cap. Sunday evenings mean a sale on boutique meats before the shop closes for Monday and Tuesday. That’s what the owners of Rosewood Ranch wanted: a neighborhood meat shop where the butcher knows you by name. The beef—sourced from the ranch near Ennis owned by the Hunt family—speaks for itself. You’re getting single-origin Wagyu, with its unparalleled marbling.
