Wagyu from $30 on the menu we read · up to $35
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 restored farmstead property on Plymouth Road northeast of Ann Arbor, run as four rooms, with The Boro as its all-day dining room. The Boro serves a Wagyu Bolognese at $32 built on olive-fed Michigan Wagyu, an 8oz wagyu patty in its Summer Burger, and a brunch corned beef hash made with Wagyu beef. The Michigan origin and the olive-fed finish are both stated on the menu, but the farm that raises the cattle is not named, and no breed generation is given.
Authenticity flags
- The Wagyu Bolognese is described only as olive-fed Michigan Wagyu. The farm that raises the cattle is not named on the menu or anywhere else on the restaurant's site, and no breed generation is given, so there is nothing published you can check the Wagyu content against.
- The wagyu patty in the Summer Burger and the Wagyu beef in the brunch corned beef hash carry no origin, grade or producer at all.

Common questions
- Does The Dixboro Project serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 17, 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 The Dixboro Project 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 The Dixboro Project 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.
