Sidecar
Roanoke, VA · European
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 Euro-leaning bistro and cocktail bar at 411 1st Street SW in downtown Roanoke, part of the Martin's family of restaurants, serving Tuesday through Friday from 5 PM and Saturday from 4 PM. Its centre-of-plate Wagyu is the Cote de Boeuf, a 28 oz bone-in Wagyu tomahawk ribeye at 85 with garlic-herb compound butter and Belgian frites, marked limited availability. The charcuterie and fromage board also carries a salt-cured Wagyu beef tenderloin bresaola from Italy. Neither states a grade, and only the bresaola names a country.
Authenticity flags
- The 28 oz Wagyu tomahawk names no country, no grade and no ranch, so there is nothing on the menu to say whether the beef is Japanese, American or Australian. It is also marked limited availability, so call ahead if you are coming for it.
- The charcuterie board's Wagyu bresaola is listed as coming from Italy, with no producer and no grade given.

Common questions
- Does Sidecar serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 17, 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 Sidecar serve?
- Its menu discloses italian and 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 Sidecar 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.
