Denver, CO · American and butcher
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
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
Blackbelly Market is a butcher shop and restaurant on West 41st Avenue in Denver, part of a whole animal butchery that breaks down carcasses in house and names the ranchers it buys from. Its current site carries a run of Wagyu items, among them a Wagyu beef french dip, a Wagyu chopped cheese, a Wagyu italian beef dip and a Wagyu steak skewer, and a Wagyu beef sandwich appears in this location's party packages. What the shop does not publish in readable form right now is which herd that Wagyu comes from.

Common questions
- Does Blackbelly Market & 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 Blackbelly Market & Restaurant serve?
- Its menu discloses American. 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 Blackbelly Market & 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.
