Wagyu from $12 on the menu we read
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
A Phoenix institution on North Central Avenue since 1950, reopened in 2025 under the Mastro family after 75 years of founding-family ownership. Its dinner menu is a classic Prime steakhouse list and exactly one line on it is Wagyu: a 14oz NY strip printed as gold plus, at 185 dollars. No origin, breed or producer is named against it and the restaurant's own pages say nothing further, so it publishes menu-confirmed with no badges. That quoted grade name is a trademark of an American producer this operator names on its other menus, but this menu does not say so.

Common questions
- Does Durant's Steakhouse serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 14, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Durant's Steakhouse serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Durant's Steakhouse listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
