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 live-fire restaurant on Cannon Street whose kitchen is built around open flame, dry-aged and house-cured meats. Its rotating seasonal menu lists a 16 oz Wagyu Ribeye as a main, offered as an alternative to a 14 oz Prime New York strip and plated with smoked mushrooms, roasted cipollini, smashed potatoes and a red wine bordelaise. A separate happy-hour burger is built on a wagyu patty. The menu names no grade, country or producer for either.
Authenticity flags
- The menu lists a Wagyu ribeye without naming a grade, a country of origin or a producer, so it is not stated whether the beef is Japanese, American or Australian. Ask your server before ordering if origin matters to you.
- The farm named on the Wagyu ribeye line supplies the mushrooms served alongside it, not the beef. No producer is named for the steak itself.
- The happy-hour burger is described only as a wagyu patty, with no grade, origin or producer given.

Common questions
- Does Southbound 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 Southbound serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown. 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 Southbound 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.
