Wagyu from $108 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
Cowboy Star is a steakhouse and butcher shop in downtown Colorado Springs. Its eight ounce Snake River Farms New York strip is 108, described on the menu as American wagyu known for its intense marbling. The producer is named and checkable, and the kitchen names its other suppliers the same way, though Snake River Farms publishes no breed generation for the beef.
Authenticity flags
- The menu describes its American Wagyu strip as kobe style. Kobe is a protected designation from Hyogo in Japan with a licensed supply chain, and no beef raised in the United States can be Kobe. The menu puts the phrase in quotation marks and names the American producer on the same line, so it reads as shorthand for the style rather than a claim of origin.

Common questions
- Does Cowboy Star Restaurant serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 24, 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 Cowboy Star Restaurant serve?
- Its menu discloses Snake River Farms. 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 Cowboy Star Restaurant 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.
