Wagyu from $18 on the menu we read · up to $85
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 large award-winning restaurant and bar in the Northern Pacific freight building at 611 East Main Street, open 4pm daily. Two Wagyu offerings, each credited to a named Bozeman-area supplier. The nightly steak list tops out with a 16 oz Marbled Meats dry-aged MT Wagyu ribeye at 85 dollars, above the USDA Prime ribeye and strip. The entire signature burger program runs on a proprietary blend of pasture-raised Wagyu and Angus chuck from Montana Wagyu Cattle Co. of Belgrade, a partnership the restaurant has held since 2013. No breed generation or marbling grade is published.
Authenticity flags
- The signature burgers are a blend of 50 percent Angus and 50 percent Wagyu rather than a pure Wagyu patty, which the restaurant states plainly on its own sourcing page. That is honest labelling, but it means roughly half the beef in the burger is Angus.
- That same page calls the blend American Kobe, and the ranch behind it uses the phrase American-style Kobe too. Kobe is a protected Japanese designation carried only by cattle registered in Hyogo Prefecture, so this is Montana-raised Wagyu cross and not Kobe in any certified sense. No breed generation and no marbling grade is published for it.
- The 85 dollar dry-aged Wagyu ribeye sits on the nightly steak list rather than the standing menu, so call ahead if you are coming for it. It credits a Bozeman butcher for the dry-aging but names no ranch or breed detail for the beef itself.

Common questions
- Does Montana Ale Works serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 18, 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 Montana Ale Works serve?
- Its menu discloses Montana Wagyu Cattle Co. and Marbled Meats. 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 Montana Ale Works 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.
