Wagyu from $12 on the menu we read · up to $99
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 Jeff Ruby steakhouse in a historic Montgomery mansion, running a dedicated Wagyu Beef Collection printed as three separate columns: a Japanese A5 filet mignon at $178, a Grand Champion Miyazaki Citrus filet and ribeye at $225 and $218, and an Australian premium wagyu ribeye filet and New York strip at $99 and $120. Wagyu also appears as a meatball starter and a carpaccio. The A5 column names a grade but no prefecture, the Miyazaki column names a prefecture but no grade, and the Australian cuts name neither a producer nor a marbling score.
Authenticity flags
- Its Wagyu Beef Collection prints the Japanese A5 steak and the Grand Champion Miyazaki Citrus steak as two different products at two different prices, so the A5 grade and the Miyazaki origin belong to separate cuts rather than to one steak. The Australian wagyu is listed without a producer or a marbling score. If you want Miyazaki specifically, or want to know the A5's prefecture, ask which cut you are ordering before you commit.

Common questions
- Does Carlo & Johnny serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 22, 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 Carlo & Johnny serve?
- Its menu discloses Miyazaki, Australian and A5 Japanese. 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 Carlo & Johnny 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.
