Chef Matthew Meyer has announced the opening date of his dry-aged steak and premium burger concept Tender Mercy, with service set to begin on Dec. 1. The 40-seat casual restaurant will specialize in steak frites, premium burgers, dry-aged cuts and butchered meats to go.

Tender Mercy, in the former Bachi Burger on Windmill Lane in South Las Vegas, is the culmination of Meyer’s creatively driven career to date, including the globally inspired cafe Served, beloved by critics and diners, and the craft chophouse 138°, which became a destination for dry-aged steak lovers.

Menu items will include six flame-grilled burgers (including a showstopper steak frites burger) starting at $14.95; Kennebec fries with seasoning and house-made sauce options; dry-aged wagyu cuts; dry-aged Ora King Salmon; crispy duck a l’orange; Duroc pork chops; house-made banchan; and mixed milkshakes and Midwestern concretes.

Tender Mercy will feature prominently displayed dry-aging lockers, a moody atmosphere dominated by a rogues’ gallery of Meyer’s cultural inspirations and a covered patio. Behind the scenes, there is a wood-fired grill for steaks and a station dedicated to frites cooked three times.

With a fun, lively atmosphere and approachable dining, Tender Mercy will offer a new take on beef-focused dining between fast-casual and formal steakhouse vibes.

“I wanted to create something on a smaller scale that fit my vibe – serious about the food, especially the meats, but more fun than formal,” said Meyer. “Tender Mercy is the kind of place you can stop by after work for a great burger or make a date night out of it with an incredible steak.”

Tender Mercy brings together exceptional ingredients, innovative cooking techniques and a fun, playful atmosphere, offering a fresh, approachable take on beef-focused dining off the Strip.

Tender Mercy is located at 470 E. Windmill Lane in South Las Vegas. Operating hours upon opening will be 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays.
