Our Story

From the ranch.
To your table.

Ember & Oak started with a simple conviction: the best food comes from knowing exactly where it was raised. We work directly with Texas ranchers and Hill Country farms to source beef, pork, and produce that's raised right — then let live oak and pecan wood do the rest.

Chef Marcus Reyes spent a decade in kitchens from San Antonio to New York before coming home to Austin. His cooking is rooted in Texas tradition but unafraid of bold flavor — smoke, char, acid, and fat in the right proportions.

Where It Comes From

We don't source from
a catalog.

Every protein on our menu has a return address. We visit our ranching partners in person, understand how the animals are raised, and build menus around what's genuinely in season — not what's convenient.

Peach Creek Farms
Bastrop, TX · Wagyu & Angus beef
Hill Country Heritage Pork
Fredericksburg, TX · Heritage breed pork
Rio Farms
Monte Alto, TX · Seasonal vegetables
Dewberry Hills Farm
Elgin, TX · Eggs & heritage grains
