Cherry Block Craft Butcher & Texas Market

Place is friendly, good quality of meats and prices are good. Went a few times already, picked up some beef shanks and had them cut to any size I wanted. Very friendly staff

Hello my fellow Yelpers. I hope everyone is well and safe. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary of our first date 25 years ago this past Monday. Initially we wanted to find a good restaurant to go to but after discussing it, we decided to create the dining experience at home. We found out about Cherry Craft watching food network and we decided to try this place out as the reviews on Yelp and other sources are pretty good.The customer service experience was underwhelming at the very least. We walked the 600 or so sq ft about 3 times slowly and none of the employees even said hi to us let along asked could they help us. It was early on Sunday morning and it appears they were still setting up but at the very least they could have said " I will be with you in one moment. So we finally broke the ice and asked about the Tiger Shrimp, then after another moment of silence we asked about the steaks and finally, we got their attention. Mind you, the whole time we were there there was no more than 4 customers in the store, and we made up 2 of the customers. There were 2 young ladies in the front and one of the ladies could not answer any question we had, maybe she was new, who knows but the other lady was able to answers most of our questions. But she did not know answers to some critical questions such as, how long the beef has been dry aging, her answer was "I think around 60 days" not a good answer due to the time of dry aging is important, trust me we dry age our beef at home as well. I won't make any accusations about why we were ignored initially but contrary to some of the reviews, our experience was at the least underwhelming.The good part about Cherry Block is the steaks were good quality, although we both felt the filet side of the porterhouse was a bit small (just a preference). We bought Tiger Shrimp, which were fresh and good, beef bacon, which was recommended over their pork bacon, which is to die for, some fresh eggs which you could only get a better quality of egg if you were standing next to the chicken as it is being laid and seafood sausage which we have not tried yet but all the reviews state it is good. I gave them 4 stars which is a half a star too many due to the service but the products there are top notch. We will try them again based on the quality of the products but if the service is not there, that will be our last visit as we don't mind traveling for quality products and quality service. We prefer to support Katy local businesses but the service needs improvement. Simple things like hello, may I help you, knowing your products and at least pretend you are happy that we patronized your business goes a long way. As for the prices, well a bit more than your chain grocery stores but as I always say, you get what you pay for so price is not an issue when the product is good. They also have an assortment of seasonings and spices, game meat, Japanese A5 and Texas Wagyu, gourmet jams etc as well. As always, thank for reading my fellow Yelpers and happy eating!

As someone looking to buy quality meats from a more local and sustainable source, Cherry Block Market piqued my curiosity as I came across their location on Old Katy Road. Prior to going, of course, I had to look them up on good ol' google, and found that their meats are pasture-raised, natural, and are from the establishment's own farm or another farm in Texas, where the animals are raised responsibly. Today, I finally went for a visit. Upon entering, I wouldn't have known it was a butchery, because it certainly did not smell like one. None of that meat funk or ammonia smell that I frequently experience from the meat areas of a grocery store. They've got a great selection of all types of meats and different cuts-- beef, chicken, pork, even some wild game meats like rabbit, bison, pheasant, quail. They had some house-smoked bacon and also a variety of sausages. Aside from meats, there well also other food items and seasonings... lots of bbq seasoning, as well as local jarred goods. Oh and right in the middle is their dry age room, which housed some nice cuts of steak. Pretty legit if you ask me.Today, I only bought some pork shoulder, which I must say had absolutely no smell to it-- and I always tend to feel iffy about pork -- but the pork I got from Cherry Block was really... really good quality. The prices here are not that bad either and is comparable with what you would get from the regular markets. I was actually quite surprised. Anyway, if there's one thing that would make me keep going back to this place is that the customer service is exceptional-- unpretentious and gladly accommodating.

SO excited to see this little market pop up in the heart of the ol' MKT. Tons of local groceries and meats. Cute little entertaining trinkets and wares (think charcuterie boards, tea towels, mugs, etc.). Samples aplenty (hello scratch-made bread and pimento!). Farm eggs. LOCAL HONEY (take THAT, hateful TX allergies!). Ownership committed to sustainable practices. A meat case made in heaven (cannot wait to get my hands on one of those ribeyes!). I could go on and on. So many amazing things in one little location! This place and those like it are what makes Old Katy so special. Go check it out!

Awesome selection, nice people, would buy from them every day! The meat looks fresh cut and smells great!

A whole animal butcher shop with a great selection of meats ! They offer local beef,chicken and pork as well as many other proteins. I was amazed to see a side fridge that was stocked with bison, homemade broth (chicken,beef, and pork) elk,python and other exotic meats a first for me. They offer many homemade sausages like bratwurst, kielbasa and other innovative flavors. We were given to try a pepperoni pizza sausage which was great it even had cheese and really tasted like a good pepperoni pizza. They offer so many great products which promote local business.Holiday foods also availi This is truly a hidden gem worth visiting

Can't believe this is in our backyard! If you are looking for a great steak, fajitas or really any fresh food for dinner, check them out. I've been coming here for a while. Love it.

6/2024 Picked up a couple of filets and they were the most delicious cuts of meat I've had. I'll be back and they are the same price as HEB.

Great products and the cost is similar to that of the big grocery chain. You can get what cut you want just have to ask. Plus they have some exotic meat as well.

We just recently moved to Katy and passed Cherry Block on the way to No Label Brewery last weekend. My husband and I made a mental note to go here the next time we wanted steak. There were so many great products as well as a wide selection of meats to choose from. We went with two of the prime ribeyes. I cooked both sous vide when I got home and ended up only searing one since they were so big. The steak was delicious. I could definitely tell that this steak was several steps above a similar cut we got from a grocery chain a few weeks ago. We will definitely be returning frequently :)
