Why it's listed
An Art Deco chophouse in Springfield run by ranchers who raise their own cattle. Julia and Will Neal have bred fullblood Wagyu since 2008, and the menu splits its Wagyu Steaks section in two: a farm-to-table Wagyu list from their own herd, with ribeyes at 69 and 126 and filets at 100 and 125, and a separate certified A5 list imported from Japan, with filets at 125 and 155 and ribeyes at 125 and 180. Herbed Wagyu meatballs and dirty rice with Wagyu tips round it out.

Will's Chophouse in Springfield, MO publishes enough detail on its own materials to identify the Wagyu it sells, which is the standard this directory calls verified, last checked on August 18, 2026. That means a named Japanese brand or prefecture with its grade, an American breed status with a named producer, or an Australian producer with a marbling score.
- What kind of Wagyu does Will's Chophouse serve?
- Its menu discloses A5 Japanese and Julia and Will Neal (the owners' own fullblood Wagyu herd, raised since 2008). 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.
- How was Will's Chophouse verified?
- By reading the venue's own current material, its menu, its site or its ordering system, and quoting the line that names the beef.
