Wagyu from $32 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 seasonal, globally-minded kitchen on FM 2920 in Spring, north of Houston, and it cooks Wagyu twice, both times as a bavette rather than a burger. Jaguar Cry at $24 sets the bavette against shrimp, peanuts and garden greens; the TX Wagyu Carne Asada at $32 plates 6 oz of it with frijoles aligot, maggi onions and 50/50 tortillas. Texas is as far as the origin goes on the menu. The kitchen says it buys from local Texas farmers and ranchers where it can, without naming which ones.

Common questions
- Does Belly of the Beast 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 Belly of the Beast serve?
- Its menu discloses American. 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 Belly of the Beast 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.
