Wagyu from $35 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
The Capital Grille at Tysons Corner is a dry-aged USDA Prime steakhouse. Beyond its recurring Wagyu and Wine burger event, its standing menu carries a Snake River Farms Gold Wagyu Steak Tartare and a Wagyu Filet Mignon with crispy potato, both American Wagyu. Snake River Farms is named as the producer, but 'Gold' describes marbling rather than a documented breed lineage, so how the beef is bred is not fully specified. There is no Japanese A5 or Kobe wagyu on the menu.

Common questions
- Does The Capital Grille serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 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 The Capital Grille serve?
- Its menu discloses American and Snake River Farms Gold. 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 The Capital Grille 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.
