The Green Gateau
Lincoln, NE · French
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
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 long running Lincoln bistro and reception center at 330 S 10th Street, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with crepes, quiche and a French leaning kitchen under owner and executive chef Eric Lemke. The only Wagyu it serves is ground: the house burger, which runs on the lunch, brunch and dinner menus at 16 dollars, uses hormone free, grass fed Wagyu ground beef from Morgan Ranch in Burwell, Nebraska. Every steak on the menu, including the ribeye, the 28 ounce Delmonico and the tenderloin filet, is Angus rather than Wagyu.
Authenticity flags
- The only Wagyu here is the ground beef in the house burger. There is no Wagyu steak on any menu, and the ribeye, the Delmonico and the tenderloin filet are all Angus.
- The burger names its ranch, Morgan Ranch in Burwell, Nebraska, which is far more specific than most burger menus manage, but no grade and no breed line is stated for the herd, and the ranch does not publish one either.

Common questions
- Does The Green Gateau 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 The Green Gateau serve?
- Its menu discloses Morgan Ranch. 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 Green Gateau 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.
