Our Story
A live-fire kitchen, 14 years in the making.
Ember & Oak opened in Prosper, Texas with one idea: everything worth eating is better cooked over an open flame. Every ribeye, every redfish, every charred vegetable passes through live oak and applewood smoke before it reaches your table.
Prosper regulars know us by name — and treat every visit like a reservation for the whole family, not just a meal.
Cooked over fire. Served with family.

Executive Chef & Partner
Chef Marcus Holloway
Trained under two Michelin-starred kitchens in New York and Copenhagen before returning home to Texas, Chef Holloway built Ember & Oak around a single conviction: live fire is the only honest way to cook. Every dish that leaves the kitchen has passed through oak and applewood smoke — nothing is rushed, nothing is an afterthought.

What DFW Is Saying
“Ember & Oak is our go-to for anniversaries. The ribeye alone is worth the drive from McKinney — and the room feels like it belongs in Manhattan.”
Whitney Caldwell· Prosper, TX
“Best patio in DFW for a Friday night. The duck breast changed my life — no exaggeration. This is Michelin-caliber cooking in Prosper.”
Marcus Delgado· Frisco, TX
“Service feels like a five-star hotel restaurant, but the vibe is warm and unmistakably local. Every course was a surprise.”
Priya Nandan· McKinney, TX
“We've hosted three family dinners here this year. Never a bad plate, never a rushed table, never a night we didn't want to end.”
