McCormick & Schmick's
Houston, TX · Seafood & Steakhouse
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
The downtown Houston seafood house at 1201 Fannin runs two Wagyu dishes credited to a named Texas producer: a Wagyu carpaccio with black garlic nori crust, truffle aioli and grilled bread, and an 8oz Wagyu steak frites with shallot confit and sauce au poivre. The producer credit is specific to the Texas restaurants and does not appear on the brand's Baltimore or Cincinnati menus. The menu names who raised the cattle but does not state the breed generation, so how much Wagyu genetics the beef carries is not disclosed.

Common questions
- Does McCormick & Schmick's serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 23, 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 McCormick & Schmick's serve?
- Its menu discloses R-C 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 McCormick & Schmick's 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.
