Wagyu from $15 on the menu we read · up to $22
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 Panama City Beach steakhouse under a live oak canopy, running an 1800-degree broiler, locally caught seafood and a sushi bar. Its American Wagyu is on the appetizer list and comes from SRF: a Wagyu beef carpaccio at $22 and a smoked Wagyu beef bruschetta at $15. The menu gives the supplier's initials but no breed generation, and SRF's grade names describe marbling rather than lineage, so how much Wagyu is in the cross is not stated. Separately, the $17 Surf and Turf Sushi roll is described as topped with sliced Kobe beef, and the restaurant is not licensed by the official Kobe Beef association. The Wagyu here is an appetizer and sushi programme; the broiler entrees are filet and ribeye rather than Wagyu.
Authenticity flags
- The $17 Surf and Turf Sushi roll is described as topped with sliced Kobe beef. This restaurant is not licensed by the official Kobe Beef association in Japan, and no supplier or origin is given for that beef anywhere on the menu. Read it as Wagyu of undisclosed origin rather than certified Kobe.
- The two Wagyu appetizers credit their beef only as SRF. That names a supplier but not a breed generation, so the menu does not say how much Wagyu is in the cross. American Wagyu is usually a Wagyu and Angus cross, and supplier grade names such as Black and Gold describe marbling rather than lineage.

Common questions
- Does Firefly 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 Firefly serve?
- Its menu discloses SRF. 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 Firefly 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.
