Wagyu from $74 on the menu we read
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 New York style steakhouse in Greenville, open since 2001, built around USDA Prime beef aged 28 days and broiled Pittsburgh style, plus colossal seafood and oversized desserts. Its one Wagyu item is the Wagyu Manhattan, a 10 oz cut at $74, and the menu is unusually specific about where it comes from: it names both the producer, Mishima Ranch USA, and a marbling score of BMS 8+. This is American Wagyu, not Japanese, and it sits alongside the regular Prime steaks rather than in a separate Wagyu program.
Authenticity flags
- The menu gives this steak a BMS 8+ marbling score. That number describes how heavily the beef is marbled, not how much Japanese Wagyu ancestry the cattle carry, and the producer does not publish a generation for its herd. If you want to know how the animal was bred rather than how rich the steak is, ask when you order.

Common questions
- Does Chophouse '47 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 Chophouse '47 serve?
- Its menu discloses Mishima Ranch USA (menu wording) BMS 8+. 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 Chophouse '47 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.
