The Local Bull
Johnson City, Texas 1 visit · 3 photos
Part butcher shop, part burger counter, part taproom on Main Street in Johnson City — home-raised Wagyu, and maybe the best smash burger ever.
The Local Bull is what happens when a ranch opens its own front door. The Wagyu comes from their place, Bucker Creek Ranch; the kitchen turns it into smash burgers, tacos and steak frites; the case up front sells the briskets, picanha, tri-tips and ground beef to take home; and the taps and the wine list make it very easy to stay for one more.
Drop in for a bite or a beer or both — then grab some Wagyu to go while you’re in Johnson City. Maybe the best smash burger… ever?
