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
The Indianapolis, IN branch of Agave & Rye, a taco and bourbon chain out of Covington, Kentucky built around oversized double-shelled tacos and tequila flights. Its one menu carries a single Wagyu item, the Wagyu Taco, described as American Wagyu with smoked chili-honey aioli, chili crisp, pickled pepper relish, crispy shallots, scallions and a soy-lime glaze. It is listed above and apart from the kitchen's ground beef and carne asada tacos. The menu states an American origin and stops there, naming no producer, no breed generation and no grade.

Common questions
- Does Agave & Rye - Indianapolis serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 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 Agave & Rye - Indianapolis 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 Agave & Rye - Indianapolis 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.
