Wagyu from $99 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
Eddie Merlot's at 96th and Keystone is an upscale prime steakhouse whose dinner menu carries a dedicated Wagyu group: an MS9+ Filet Mignon and MS7/8+ Ribeye described as Australian Wagyu from Rangers Valley, plus a Wagyu Bone-In Strip listed as American Wagyu from Snake River Farms, Idaho. The same Wagyu selections and prices appear on Eddie Merlot's menus in other cities, so they reflect the chain's standard sourcing rather than a program unique to Indianapolis. A genuine multi-cut Wagyu offering at a fine-dining steakhouse, not a novelty item.

Common questions
- Does Eddie Merlot's serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 30, 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 Eddie Merlot's serve?
- Its menu discloses Snake River Farms, MS7/8+ Australian and MS9+ Australian. 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 Eddie Merlot's 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.
