Wagyu from $21.95 on the menu we read · up to $84.95
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 family run steakhouse at 14 Grove Street in Darien, the only Connecticut room in a five location New Jersey group. Its steak list carries three American Wagyu cuts credited to Snake River Farms: a 12 oz NY strip at 79.95, a 12 oz ribeye at 84.95 and an 8 oz petite filet at 74.95, on both the lunch and dinner menus. Crispy Wagyu dumplings run 21.95 among the appetizers. The menu names the producer but states no breed generation or marbling grade for the beef.
Authenticity flags
- The three American Wagyu steaks are credited to Snake River Farms, but the menu does not say whether the cattle are fullblood, purebred, or a first generation cross, and it gives no marbling grade. If the lineage behind the beef matters to you, ask before ordering.
- A Kobe Sliders appetizer is listed at 20.95 with no origin or certification given. US menus commonly use the word Kobe loosely for a well marbled burger blend, and this is not the certified Kobe Beef of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

Common questions
- Does Roots Steakhouse serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 22, 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 Roots Steakhouse 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 Roots 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.
